My wife's family has a long standing tradition of going to the movies over holidays. We're already trying to plan our Christmas weekend around Meet the Fokkers and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. But this weekend, our choices were much more limited. You can't pay me enough money to see Alexander, and Nic Cage has been letting me down for years now, so National Treasure was out. Who was there to save us? Let's just say he lives in a pineapple under the sea. Yellow and porous, is he.
Years from now, they'll have midnight double features of Pink Floyd: The Wall and the Spongebob Squarepants Movie. It's trippy, funny and completely absurd. It has the greatest David Hasselhoff performance of all time. Yes, that includes that episode of Knight Rider where he plays Michael's evil twin. Yes, that includes that appearance on Circus of the Stars on the trapeeze. It really is that good.
Plus the end credits feature new songs by Wilco and the Flaming Lips. Seven dollars well spent.
