If you're out eagerly looking for quality cinema entertainment, this weekend isn't for you. We're just not at that point yet where we can expect good films to come out, but I wouldn't say this is going to be a truly miserable weekend. The box office is in a position to thrive with plenty of opportunities to ensnare gullible moviegoers. I'm mostly talking about Battle: Los Angeles, which reads as a film that will eventually be shown constantly on FX. It has that same Michael Bay action sensibility, and Bay has been illogically huge in the box office in the past. I expect this film to do very well for itself.
Red Riding Hood, though it's received abysmal reviews, should also receive a certain following this weekend. It's obviously intended for the same fan base as Twilight, but I imagine that even they will come out of this film marginally disappointed. I don't suggest seeing it, but I'll end up seeing it sometime this weekend, so might as well suffer with me. The only thing I wouldn't suggest is seeing Mars Needs Moms, because that's a film that's looked unbearably stale from the beginning. It doesn't look entertaining in the slightest, and in fact looks like a difficult film to sit through. If you're looking for anything more than guilty entertainment, you'll be disappointed this weekend.
