By After last week saw the release of Sharktopus, it will be hard to beat. Like, really hard. I mean, The Tourist, Skyline, and Yogi Bear all coming out on the same day? I’m likely to drown under the mediocrity! From what I hear, How Do You Know and Meskada are both kind of crappy too. I guess Sharktopus has set the bar impossibly high. In fact, it may have destroyed modern cinema as a whole for me. Damn you Sharktopus!
But seriously, The Tourist was bad, and Skyline was a shallow, shiny experience with nothing of substance to offer (although I did manage to make an awesome Independence Day reference when I saw it opening night). I didn’t see Yogi Bear, but from what Geoff said, I’m glad I avoided it.
On the bright side, Stand By Me gets a Blu-ray release. That movie was a staple of my teen years, watching it numerous times with my best pal Dave. Also, Vin Diesel sees in the dark and stabs stuff with cool knifey things in the Riddick collection. Riddick-ulous!
Vin Diesel puns aside, hit the jump to see what’s out this week, and as always: what are you picking up?
