Film Sweat: Jive-Crapple Express
RECOMMENDED: Slim pickin’s this week, guys: Extract is a Mike Judge comedy starring Jason Bateman and Ben Affleck doing drugs. Not everybody goes to the movies to have their minds enriched.
ALSO NEW IN THEATERS: All About Steve, starring Philly’s own Bradley Cooper — can we just say how we love how he’s inherited the James Spader spot as America’s Most Lovable Smug Asshole? — up against an increasingly leathery Sandra Bullock in some kind of rom-com we barely got through the trailer for; It Might Get Loud, which is like the Wet Dream Movie Of Ever for MOJO-reading rockists everywhere, and features Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White, talking about electric guitars for two hours; World’s Greatest Dad, in which Robin Williams, well, that’s all I have to say. Robin Williams is in this movie and it is called World’s Greatest Dad. Then, there’s My One And Only, wherein Renée Zellweger plays a pre-WWII gold-digger in this farce with Kevin Baker, Chris Noth and more; Carriers, a thriller that’ll just make you dread the oncoming Swine Flu season even more than you already do; Gamer, which does that thing where, when you see Gerard Butler and explosions and hear some like “extreme” music by Papa Roach or whoever the fuck, you just glaze over like someone is talking to you about their friend’s neighbor’s kids or some shit. I’m sorry, were we talking about movies?

World’s Greatest Dad was written/directed by Bobcat Goldthwait… maybe that gives it some “interesting” points.
