While at Blockbuster I grabbed a free copy of "Interaction", a guide/review of all the latest movies. The cynic in me would question the integrity of a video store producing a magazine reviewing movies that are currently being hired by them in the interests of making money (ie if Coles put out a magazine reviewing their deli range), but I'll let you read some excerpts and you make your own call.
On "Welcome Home Roscoe Jennings"
"Bad Boys almuni Will Smith and Martin Lawrence may have taken quite different career trajectories, but both have ended up making good, solid movies. Just because Lawrence's flicks haven't had the high profiles of, say, Hancock or I Am legend doesn't make his work any less worthy. Case in point, the sensational, gut-busting Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins........."
My comment: Yeh, when I think "Big Momma's House", "Life" and "Wild Hogs", I think solid. I'm betting it's not that "gut-busting". Also note the spelling mistakes and missing punctuation, and that's me saying that.
On "Reign Over Me"
"Liv has grown up enough to be thoroughly convincing as therapist to Adam Sandler..."
My comment: Yeh, that was right up there with Denise Richards as a scientist, Drew Barrymore as a financial guru and Russell Crowe as a genius mathematician.
On "Over Her Dead Body"
"Eva Longoria headlines this zany comedy which is kind of a mishmash of Hello Again (remember that one? Shelley Long came back from the dead to haunt her unfaithful husband).
My comment: 1)No one born after 1976 knows who Shelley Long is 2) If you have to prompt people to remember a movie by going into detail, fair chance they have never heard of it
So I guess the jury is out on "Interaction". For the record, every single movie had a glowing review, including all the "straight to dvd" ones. Tell me your thoughts.
