The Week In Review

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on May 20, 2006

Look out Hollywood elite, the Rejects have lasted another week… Our power to entertain at your expense is growing.

Alright, now that my anti-Celebrity public service message is through, it is time to see what the Film School Rejects staff was up to this week:

From the Staff:

• Brian Gibson brought us his take on all the mindless fun one can have with The Ringer and Grandma’s Boy. He also urged FSR readers not to walk, but to run away from the DVD release of When a Stranger Calls.
• Matthew Alexander pulled the classic action flick Raiders of the Lost Arc out of the Vault and provided a little bit of advice to George Lucas. George has already called to thank him.
• As for me, I have unleashed my love of animated fun and children’s movies with reviews for the magical Nanny McPhee and the fun but all too Shrek-like Hoodwinked. I also poked fun at Matthew Broderick in The Producers and talked a little Da Vinci Code (I couldn’t help it, it’s everywhere.)
• Tara and Jarvis took the week off, but expect a review of The Da Vinci Code from Mr. Mishler over the weekend.
• And last but not least, it was trailers, trailers, trailers all week long! We brought you the first looks at Oliver Stone’s World Trade Center, Meryl Streep’s creepy hair-do in The Devil Wears Prada, and Alison Murray’s opus du life on the streets in Europe Mouth to Mouth.

What’s on tap for Next Week?:
We must warn you, this week will be a little slow and mostly X-Men related. So if you are down with X-Men: The Last Stand, you are certainly in luck. We will have all the best X-rated (*giggle*) coverage as fanboys countdown the final days until the release of the third installment of one of the most successful comic-to-film series ever. There will also be plenty of - you guessed it - trailers! And lest we forget some DVD reviews: Brian tackles his toughest task yet with The Barbie Diaries, Jarvis finds out if it is true that The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things; and we get first dibs on Disney’s High School Musical as well as Magnolia’s One Last Thing. And I am on vacation, so expect very little out of me. But stay tuned anyway, because we always have something interesting to say…

Is there any film or DVD that you would like to see reviewed by the Staff of FSR? If so, tell us by using our contact form, found here.

Have a Great Weekend!
