Here’s Some of the Filmic Dreck Waiting to Greet You http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk/2009/01/01/happy-new-year-heres-some-of-the-filmic-dreck-waiting-to-greet-you/ http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk/2009/01/01/happy-new-year-heres-some-of-the-filmic-dreck-waiting-to-greet-you/#comments Thu, 01 Jan 2009 17:11:54 +0000 Tricia Olszewski http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk/?p=12847 Bride Wars, out Jan. 9
Tag line: "May the best bride win."

Hotel for Dogs, out Jan. 16
Tag line: "No stray gets turned away."

Paul Blart: Mall Cop, out Jan. 16
Tag line: "Safety never takes a holiday."

And my personal favorite:
My Bloody Valentine 3D, out Jan. 16
Tag line: "Nothing says 'date movie' like a 3D ride to hell." (!!!)

OK, so at least Hotel for Dogs is for kids. But if any of you spend your hard-earned bucks guffawing through the others — including My Bloody Valentine, since grisly murders are apparently now considered laff riots — you're what's wrong with America.
