Strange Wilderness (2008) [R]-- W.I.P. Scale™ Rating: $3.00
Review-lite: Steer far, far clear of this relentlessly terrible, mind-numbingly awful film from Fred Wolf and Peter Gaulke (the director and co-writers as well as their self-referential characters in the film). Strange Wilderness is on par for the award as worst film of the decade and one that defined the drought that has been the WGA strike of 2007-08. (click for full details and complete review)

Street Kings (2008) [R]-- W.I.P. Scale™ Rating: $12.25
Review-lite: Director David Ayer, no stranger to directing those of dubious moral codes gets all wrapped up in Street Kings about a special unit detective named Tom Ludlow (Keanu Reeves) escaping his demon-haunted world fashioned by his power-hungry, depraved, overly self-indulgent boss, Jack Wander (Forest Whitaker). Reeves, for his part, plays the steely, emotionless Ludlow well, though he seems unable to free himself from the pained, constipated facial expression that's been plastered on his face since The Matrix. Mr. Whitaker need not bother to have taken his role as the nearly maniacal Wander not because he does a bad job but because he's worthy and capable of so much more. It times like these that the underlings usually stand out more, and in this case it was Jay Mohr playing a not-so-nice guy and an uncomfortably hilarious performance by Cedric the Entertaining that might most be remembered from this occasionally convoluted but always twisty cop drama film.
