The Starting Lineup

This weekends starting lineup is short and sweet but it should make for an interesting box office.

Ladder 49 (PG-13)
Starring:
Joaquin Phoenix, John Travolta, and Jacinda Barrett
Director: Jay Russell

Phoenix plays a young firefighter trapped inside a burning building who looks back on his chosen career and the hard choices he's had to make along the way. Travolta is his former captain and mentor who as the chief seeks to set him free.


Shark Tale (PG)
Starring: Can't You Read The Signs?
Directors: Bibo Bergeron, Vicky Jenson, and Rob Letterman

So much controversy surrounding this film... I'm talking about the plot, not DeNiro's recurring Mafia-esque characters. Smith and Black play a fish and shark respectively cahooting together for what can only be construed as comedic purposes. From the look, hype, controversy, and trailers associated with this film it would seem that cliches abound. In honor of last night's presidential debate all I can say is, "Sir. I knew Finding Nemo. I paid money to see Finding Nemo. I own Finding Nemo. You sir are no Finding Nemo."
