The Day After Tomorrow & More
| THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW |
| Starring: Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal, Emmy Rossum, Ian Holm, Dash Mihok |
| |||||
| Story When New York City is abruptly overtaken by the start of a modern Ice Age, Professor Adrian Hall (Quaid), a paleoclimatologist (a scientist who studies weather patterns), is faced with having to save the world from the disastrous effects of global warming and rescuing his son (Gyllenhaal), who is in New York City for a school competition. | ||||||
| Our Take This film was made by the director of 1996's Independence Day, only this time, the apocalypse featured here can actually happen, as opposed to the alien invasion described in ID4. The trailers of this movie were only a sneak peek into what was yet to come, and you get to see it all: the earthquakes, hurricanes and tidal waves that could wipe away the world as a result of the greenhouse effect and global warming. This flick was worth it for the effects alone. | ||||||
| Who Should You See It With? That hot tree-hugger from work. | ||||||
| SOUL PLANE |
| Starring: Kevin Hart, Snoop Dogg, K.D. Aubert, Method Man, Gary Anthony Williams |
| |||||
| Story After winning $100 million in a legal settlement, Nashawn Wade decides to create the airline of his dreams — NWA — chock-full of sexy female flight attendants and funky music, all in the hopes of winning back his girlfriend, Giselle (Aubert). But when a white family accidentally boards the airline's maiden voyage, the flight isn't as smooth or "soulful" as planned. | ||||||
| Our Take Between Snoop Dogg, Method Man and Tom Arnold, this movie is hilarious — just like the kind of slapstick comedy we loved in Airplane!, mixed with some Undercover Brother. | ||||||
| Who Should You See It With? All the flight attendants you wanna land. | ||||||
| RAISING HELEN |
| Starring: Kate Hudson, Abigail Breslin, Spencer Breslin, John Corbett, Joan Cusack, Sean O'Bryan, Felicity Huffman |
| |||||
| Story Helen (Hudson) is a big-shot in the New York fashion scene, but her life and priorities are turned upside down when she becomes the guardian of her three nieces and nephews, after her sister (Huffman) and brother-in-law (O'Bryan) die in a car accident. Of course, Helen has to deal with juggling motherhood and her job, as well as moving to Queens and handling a possible romance with the local pastor (Corbett). | ||||||
| Our Take We love Kate Hudson, but she has got to pick more roles like that of Penny Lane from Almost Famous. Any young Hollywood actress could have replaced her in this film, and it's not her fault: the characters are phony, the direction is awful, and the dialogue was even worse. We didn't expect much from this piece of crap (do we really care about an ambitious woman who suddenly becomes a single mom?), and it met our low expectations. Even chicks won't like it. | ||||||
