Movie previews 2/1

The Eye:
Jessica Alba is trying her hardest to land a role that doesn’t feature her ass, but rather her supposed good acting talent.

Sadly, neither appear to be featured in this remake of a Japanese horror film about a woman who receives an eye transplant that lets her see a world of creepy little girls and dead people.

While there is a possibility that Alba has finally acquired her first respectable role as an actress, the film itself may turn out as most Japanese film remakes do: terrible.

Strange Wilderness:
‘Strange Wilderness’ is unique for one reason (and it’s not because it’s a film about nature filmmakers): its cast consists entirely of secondary characters from great comedies.

So the question then becomes: how good is a film with all of the "kind of funny" guys from funny movies? The critics are yet to say, but it’s my bet that if you liked "Without a Paddle," you’ll enjoy this film.

While the trailer provides some laughs, you can only take the "dumb guys" comedy so far.

Meet the Spartans:
Speaking of possibly bad comedies, meet "Meet the Spartans": an officially bad movie that follows "Epic Movie" and "Date Movie."

While the film might offer a few laughs from a few clever spoofs, the series has only evolved from funny ("Scary Movie") to waste of time, money and brain cells ("Date Movie").

If, however, you think K-Fed, Britney Spears and King Leonidas belong in the same film, feel free to attend "Meet the Spartans" and learn the true meaning of pain.
