Okay. So, who braved the shallow waters today and paid to see Babylon A.D., a Vin Diesel comeback movie repeatedly wedgied by its director, or Disaster Movie, a national disgrace released on the friggin’ anniversary of Hurricane Katrina that has the power to shutdown Slashfilm if it grosses over $20 million?

If you’re still trying to decide whether Babylon A.D. is worth spending your money on this week, there are two things you should probably note: The bored look on Vin Diesel’s face. (See above.) These words from the film’s director: “It’s pure violence and stupidity.” And while there are times

It has been a long time since I have felt as indifferent about a film as I did about Babylon A.D. Leading up to my viewing at a midnight show, I was a little excited. After all, it was Vin Diesel’s return to the big screen as an action star. No more dirty diapers. No more pacifiers.

It's biologically the last weekend of August and that means its time for the worst movies America has to offer. And dear god, America has really stepped up to the challenge. Never have we seen a lineup this destined for abject failure. Five films open in wide release this weekend, (Aug.

On This Week’s Show: Neil and Kevin are very tired. It’s been a long week of movies, and not too many of them were very good.
