Set Your Phasers to Suck for This Weekend

Another weekend is just around the corner and that can only mean one thing, other than the odds are that you’ll meet your friends at the bar for a few drinks and wake up four days later in another country with no money, hair or pants.

The movie theaters and DVD stores are bound to be filled with new releases that will make you want to release something all over them. These are the movies that are “Sure to Suck” this weekend.

First in theaters, there’s “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2,” which is only one of two films in history that cannot be altered in anyway to make it sound like a porno film other than the original title, the first being “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.”

The first film put the “suck” in “moderate success” so the studios decided to bring it back a second time because…actually I have no idea why. It’s not a classic cult film. It’s not a huge blockbuster. It’s not even something women would drag their angry boyfriends to with the promise of a handjob and popcorn.

If you didn’t like the first “Starship Troopers,” you won’t like this one three times as much since it’s the third film in the series called “Starship Troopers 3: Marauder” coming to DVD this weekend.

The bugs are back again because Earth keeps leaving food out overnight and Johnny Rico, played by Casper Van Dien, to bring in the biggest can of Raid and wipe the scourge out once and for all.

There’s just something very attractive about a direct-to-DVD flick that’s based on a blockbuster that once raked in a ton of cash years ago. It’s almost the cinematic equivalent of taking it out back and putting it down Ol’ Yeller style without actually doing that and going to jail for first-degree murder.
