Every Friday we’ll give you the last quick shots on the weekend’s movies…
Surrogates
Synopsis: Living life through a robot turns out to be a bad idea.
Troy: Living vicariously through your children is a much better plan, obviously.
Torch: I’ll get my robot to contact my people to contact your people to contact your robot to talk to you about what I think about this movie.
Pandorum
Synopsis: Humans stuck on ship in deep space with evil things.
Troy: I was stuck in an elevator with a stranger, which was really awkward, so…I think I can sympathize with these guys.
Torch:How come we never get stuck in deep space with monsters that use their 15 tentacles to give deep tissue massages and make pancakes?
Fame
Synopsis: School for people that want to be famous.
Troy: The school for “Fame” nowadays would include only two classes: acting like you’re street-rat crazy, and mailing in your reality-show audition tape.
Torch: Amazing how few actually famous people are in a movie called fame.
Capitalism: A Love Story
Synopsis: Michael Moore exposes the truth that corporations try to make money.
Troy: I didn’t understand it in cartoons, and I don’t get it now…if you don’t want people to know you’re carrying money, why put it in a bag with a $?
Torch: Michael Moore wanted to do a documentary on people living in trees to protest bulldozers and what not, but he doesn’t climb too well and they wouldn’t come down.
The Boys Are Back
Synopsis: After wife dies, man must raise his two sons alone.
Troy: I heard a song about this…but “The Boys Are Back in Town” seems a little too cheery for the subject matter.
Torch: This movie would have a better chance of making money if it was just a loop of this…
