OPENING THIS WEEKEND

The Spiderwick Chronicles



It’s another fantasy movie and I’m getting awfully bored with this genre.

Definitely, Maybe



The commercials have called it the next “Annie Hall.” Although I haven’t seen it, I can honestly say that is not true, but it doesn’t look half bad. Good Valentine tripe for the weekend.

Step Up 2 the Streets



Those who saw the first “Step Up” will probably enjoy it. Those who didn’t, including me, would probably prefer dunking their heads into buckets of water and inhaling deeply nine times.

Jumper



Directed by Doug Liman who was in charge of “The Bourne Identity” and “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” This movie has an interesting premise, but I think it will disappoint a lot of people. The plot doesn’t look strong enough and it’s got Hayden Christensen in it. Rubber plus wood equals thin movie.

Diary of the Dead



Will George Romero ever stop?
