ACCEPTED Starring: Justin Long
THE ILLUSIONIST Starring: Edward Norton
MATERIAL GIRLS Starring: The Duff Sisters
Not that there hasn’t been a fair amount of b-movie classics out there, especially in the genre of teen comedy. However, I doubt this film will do well, especially when up against Snakes on a Plane. The idea is just idiotic. Why wouldn’t these kids just go to a community two-year college like everone else who doesn’t get accepted to the college of their choice? I don’t get it. Grade: D
If Edward Norton is in this, it’s bound to be a good one. Jessica Biel doesn’t have the best reputation as an actress, but oh well. I think coming out in the summer may not have been the best move for this film, but it will do well either next weekend or make up some profit in rentals and DVD sales. The plot seems intriguing. Who doesn’t like a magician after all? I know I do. Grade: B-
This is surely going to be a hit with teen girls, like the film Mean Girls. Though Hayle Duff may not be the prettiest thing out there, I think the sisters are decent enough to make a cute chick flick with the rest of ‘em. The story sounds a bit lame: rich girls turned poor. But for some reason, I think it will be an OK flick. But what do I know? I love Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen films. Grade: B
Silent Hill Director: Christophe Gans Starring: Radha Mitchell, Jodelle Ferland After Sharon’s continuous sleep-walking episodes, her mother decides to go to the place mentioned in her dreams — Silent Hill.
