This weekend's pitiful slate of new releases is further proof why August is considered the dead of summer by Hollywood.- The outlook is pretty grim for the pseudo-Invasion of the Body Snatchers remake The Invasion. No less then four (yes, four) directors took a crack at it, which can't be good (but hey, it worked for Gone With the Wind). Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig and Jeremy Northam star.
- Don't ask me why Frank Oz directed the broad British comedy Death at a Funeral, starring Peter Dinklage as a gay blackmailer, just head over to AfterElton.com for Alonso Duralde's review.
- Colin Firth in a loincloth? How did I miss this? Alas, The Last Legion (pictured) may indeed be the last, as in Gladiator rip-offs, considering its unfavorable -- actually, make that nonexistent -- buzz.
- And you gotta have some big ones to name your movie Superbad, the latest teen/sex/beer romp from the Knocked Up team, which should nevertheless draw the crowd this weekend.
