Opening this Weekend - 4/29/11

We have a quiet week with only two films opening this weekend, those being Fast Five and Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil.  Both are based off of prior movies so let's see which one looks better.

Fast Five
The fifth movie in the Fast and the Furious series brings back the original crew with Vin Diesel and Paul Walker at the helm.  Vinny and Walker have been fugitives on the run since Walker helped Vin's sister (Jordanna Brewster) break him out of custody.  They realize the need to do one last big job in Rio de Janeiro before they can finally obtain their freedom.  They assemble the crew to match up against a corrupt businessman who wants them dead and a federal agent who has been chasing them down.  Can they pull off this one last job...?  Well I don't mean to ruin this for anyone but this wont be the "last" job because they are already working on a script for Fast Six.  Also, as if there wasn't enough muscle heads in this series already, "The Rock" Dwayne Johnson will be playing the agent pursuing Vinny and Walker.  Also starring in this movie will be "Ludacris" Chris Bridges.  I have watched a few of the movies in the series and they are only ok in my book.  This one looks action packed but I'm not rushing out to the theaters to see it.  On the Viewability Scale I would give it 5 Ninja Stars out of 10.

Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil
So in this animated movie we have the return of Red and the Wolf, along with the other characters like grandma, out to make the world a safer place.  Their mission in this one is to locate the missing children Hansel and Gretel.  You may have heard of them before...you know the bread crumbs and the witch that likes to bake little children?  Anyways I didn't see the first one but I imagine it will be a good movie if you're under the age of 7.  Which means I probably wouldn't like it that much even though I act like I'm that age sometimes.  On the Viewability Scale this movie would get 3 Ninja Stars out of 10.

So to recap this week's opening movies we have:
Fast Five - 5 Ninja Stars
Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil - 3 Ninja Stars

Next week we have 3 movies opening which are Thor, The Beaver, and Jumping the Broom.  I am super pumped for Thor but we will see how it looks next week.  Please comment on the movies above if you see them and kindly do it in a way that doesn't ruin them for everyone else.
