Due Date

  • Title: Due Date
  • IMDB: link

“Oh God! I’m so stupid.”

The one constant thought that kept running through my head while watching Due Date was how much it reminded me of a film I would much rather be watching – Planes, Trains & Automobiles. It’s almost as if director Todd Phillips and the four screenwriters attributed to the film (really, it took four of you to write this?) set out to make a more intense, edgier, dumber version of the film more closely resembling the adolescent tone of Phillips earlier work – Road Trip.

Now you may think to yourself, as I did, “Gee, that sounds like the dumbest idea ever.” And, no surprise here, you’d be right.

As the film opens Peter Highman (Robert Downey Jr.) is on his way home to his loving wife (Michelle Monaghan) but his course is derailed before he even steps inside the airport by the incredibly obnoxious Ethan Tremblay (Zach Galifianakis). What follows is a predictable Odd Couple mismatched pairing as the two are forced to travel cross country together in order to get Peter home in time for the birth of his first child.

  • Title: Sucker Punch
  • IMDB: link

The man who gave us his interpretation of 300 and Watchmen, and has been chosen to helm the next Superman movie, is all set with his first original tale. The first full-length trailer of Zack Snyder‘s Sucker Punch gives us a look into the mind of mental patient Emily Browning who creates an alternate world full of guns, explosions, samurai swords, dragons, robots, and young girls in skimpy outfits. Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, Carla Gugino, Scott Glenn, and John Hamm also star. The craziness is set to begin next March.

Chuck Versus the First Fight

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Chuck – Chuck Versus the First Fight
  • tv.com: link

This week’s episode of Chuck really does have it all: Sarah Connor, James Bond, explosions, betrayals, more twists than an M. Night Shyamalan flick, and a surprise or two. “Chuck Vs. the First Fight” centers around Chuck (Zachary Levi) and Sarah’s (Yvonne Strahovski) first fight over her turning his mother (Linda Hamilton) over to the CIA. While I’m not sure this actually qualifies as their first fight (didn’t they go a few rounds about Sarah not hanging up her clothes a few episodes back?), this does give plenty of opportunities for Chuck to discuss the situation with everyone from Morgan (Joshua Gomez) to an MI6 operative he just met (Timothy Dalton – great casting!). This episodes also gives quite a few twists (including a couple you should see coming), Ellie (Sarah Lancaster) finally getting to talk with her mother, the appearance of this season’s big bad – Frost’s boss Alexei Volkoff, and an ending that gives us as many questions as answers. This is the strongest episode of Season Four so far.

Superman/Batman: Apocalypse

/ / Home Video
  • Title: Superman/Batman: Apocalypse
  • IMDB: link

DC Comics and Warner Premiere’s follow up to Superman/Batman: Public Enemies improves on some of the flaws of the earlier film but still struggles to turn a comic arc from the Superman/Batman comic into a animated film.

The story picks up weeks after the events of Public Enemies when a meteroite lands in Gotham Harbor containing a confused female Kryptonian who causes havoc throughout the city before Batman (Kevin Conroy) and Superman (Tim Daly) stop her and realize she’s Kara Zor-El (Summer Glau), Superman’s cousin.

The story gets a little fragmented here as Kara’s attempts to make a home for herself in the Fortress of Solitude, Metropolis, Themyscira, Apokolips, and Smallville all end in destruction. Things aren’t helped by Darkseid‘s (Andre Braugher) army of Doomsday clones (feel free to groan your way through this part of the story, I know I did), her kidnapping and brief stay on Apokolips, before returning to Earth and finally taking up the mantle of Supergirl.
