2012 heads up otherwise weak upcoming weekend

In terms of forthcoming new releases this weekend, there’s not a lot to look forward to, other than the ridiculously over-the-top disaster movie, 2012, by director Roland Emmerich. If anything like this movie ever happened, insurance marketing would collapse, but we’d all be dead so who cares, right?

Granted, the special effects are custom-built for the big screen and it’ll even look good on 1080p HDTV sets, but the whole escape from LA sequence is just too ridiculous for words. How can everyone but ONE GUY be getting killed when the destruction is that close behind him? Just not credible… kinda like the global warming theory Emmerich’s previous flick, DAY AFTER TOMORROW, was built around.
