T.G.I. Saw V

One of my faithful blog readers told me the other day that AC/DC wasn't really all that bad for Wal-Mart to choose to promote. I laughed and quoted some lyrics, then laughed again. I mean I don't really care and think that Wal-Mart should carry things and let people decide for themselves what their kids and themselves listen to or watch. I love AC/DC and have all their CDs myself. But Wal-Mart is always so quick to jump on a soapbox about certain filth, and getting cozy under the covers with AC/DC isn't something I expected from them. I'm sure they'll be playing this at their next big corporate meeting:

Go Down (from the Let Their Be Rock CD... on sale at Wal-Mart for $9)

Ruby, Ruby, where you been so long
Done took to drinkin' whiskey
Baby since you been gone
Ain't no one I know do it as good as you
Lickin' on that lickin' stick the way you do
You got the lips to make a strong man weak
And a heathen pray
Tell you ain't just the way you speak
You know it's just the way you go down

Hmmm... lickin' that lickin' stick? You think that's something you can pick up in the grocery isle? Gives "Clean up in aisle 5" a whole new meaning. Your kid can walk into the neighborhood Wally World and get that without any age restrictions. Rock on. Just sayin'.

Moving on... I'm off tomorrow so I'll be hitting Saw V on a matinee. Oh how I love the Saw movies! Here's what's out this weekend as Halloween bears down:

Saw V

The Plot: Forensics expert Hoffman goes on the hunt in order to prevent being identified as the newest person to carry on Jigsaw's legacy.
My Thoughts: I personally love the Saw series. I'm afraid they've overhyped the "ending you won't believe" bit, because it better really be awesome or people will be let down. I expect another fun bloodbath though.



Pride & Glory

The Plot: A family of prominent New York City cops is shaken to its core when one brother (Ed Norton) uncovers a scandal at his sibling's precinct.
My Thoughts: With Ed Norton and Colin Farrell in it I expect it to overcome the cliched dark cop pictures of late and be pretty solid. The trailer looks good.



Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3-D

The Plot: Jack Skellington, king of Halloweentown, discovers Christmas Town, but doesn't quite understand the concept.
My Thoughts: One of my top 10 movies of all-time. Believe it or not though, I haven't caught one of these 3-D theater releases yet. It looks like this will be a yearly thing so I should start a new tradition and get out to see this. Love the songs, love the animation, love the story. Awesome film, perhaps made awesomer (my word) by 3-D?

High School Musical 3: Senior Year

The Plot: As seniors in high school, Troy (Zak Efron) and Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens) struggle with the idea of being separated from one another as college approaches. Along with the rest of the Wildcats, they stage a spring musical to address their experiences, hopes and fears about their future.
My Thoughts: Dear God, please make this crap stop. Wasn't Saved By The Bell enough? Sincerely, your pal Cracker.
P.S. Thank you for Albert Pujols.
