Continuing the Friday series of reviews of movies I haven't seen.
Because of Winn-Dixie
When did it become fashionable to hyphenate dog names? Check out the names of the dogs at the Westminster Kennel Club. Just try getting "Taliesin's Llenlleawg" out of your mouth when your prize Irish Wolfhound gets loose. By the time you're at the second syllable, the dog is 5 miles away. The trend probably started with Old Yeller, and just got out of control.
Because of Winn-Dixie (a movie about a girl and her dog) has a promotional tie-in with the Winn-Dixie store. Because of Winn-Dixie, we now have a new fruit basket. If they can make successful movies out of video games, why not retail stores? Coming soon to a multiplex near you: For the Love of Piggly Wiggly.
Constantine
Is this the most blasphemous movie ever? Based on the comic Hellblazer, the trailer implies that God and the Devil are at war for the souls of humans, and only Keanu Reeves tip the balance in God's favor. Are they implying that our omnipotent God could lose a war with the Devil? Whoa.
Son of the Mask
Remember 1994? That was when The Mask was in theaters. It's been more than a decade since Jim Carrey found Cameron Diaz to be "Smmmokin'!" This sequel has straight-to-video written all over it, so it probably won't be in theaters long. Is it just me or is Alan Cumming the second coming of Pee Wee Herman (only with his own fragrance)?

Because of Winn-Dixie wasn't enough to save the store. The franchise declared bankruptcy today.
