Movie Math - Due Date

Due Date = Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

The equation is simple on this one folks... a basic re-imagining of the old Steve Martin and John Candy flick but with a dog added for good measure. Heck, even the movie poster pictures on IMDB are similar! (see for yourself at the links above)

There's a chuckle in there at times but for the most part... meh. And what's the deal with Zach Galifianakis? Does he need to be in EVERY movie now?!! Someone hand him a razor and ask him to take a vacation.

Total = Definitely DVD material or better yet.. wait til you're forced to watch it cause the airline you're flying on isn't showing anything else.

Sequel = Let's hope not.

Movie Math - The Rite

OK, I know... It's been a LONG while since I've posted anything here. So it's 'bout time I made some Movie Math. Here it goes...


The Rite = The Exorcist + Training Day

"Sir" Anthony Hopkins is a veteran priest who performs exorcists on demon possessed Italians. The other actor (don't know what his name is) is a young priest in training, but not a priest in training cause he doesn't believe in God and is running away from his past. Will the grizzled vet teach him the way and get him believin' or get him killed in the process? blah blah blah

Total = Scary? No, not really. Worth your time? Not so much.

Sequel = Probably not.
