The Big Hit

I'm just not sure what to think of this weekend's biggest opener, Smoking Aces. The trailer and premise seem awesome, with a really well-rounded cast, but the reviews so far aren't very strong. But it seems like easily the best bet out of a incredibly painful-looking weekend...

Starting with the guaranteed crap fest that is Epic Movie. I'm almost tempted to suffer through it just to see if it could actually be worse than Date Movie (which in case you are lacking detective skills equal to that of Inspector Gadget, was made by the same team). But not really...

And finally for the romantic crowd, we have our first of many banal romantic comedies on tap in Catch & Release. It may fool a few guys with it having Kevin Smith's first major role where he actually talks at length in a movie, but the mere fact that in every single add all they do is advertise the name and don't let us actually know a single thing about the movie tells you just how bad it is.

Finally, where the hell is Worms? I and just about every Xbox gamer I know have been waiting for this live arcade title for weeks, and it was virtually guaranteed to be in our hands by the end of this month, but it doesn't look like that's happening. Apparently, blame it on the approval process. I'm all for fine tuning, but according to the very article I linked, this game has been done for at least a couple of months now. It better not suck after all this "adjusting"....

Stand up of the Week: PABLO FRANCISCO
