Movie trailer: Al Pacino's '88 Minutes'

Just in from /Film:

Ladies and gentlemen, what we have here is a robbery. I saw 88 Minutes on the new release shelf of a movie rental store last summer and it is, without question, a straight-to-DVD Al Pacino vehicle and already pinned as the worst film of his career. And now, today we have a new trailer because Columbia Pictures has reached the awesome decision to release it theatrically on April 18, 2008.

Watch it (the trailer, I’d boycott the movie) to see Pacino doing his Heat schtick in the dark while wearing the worst tie of his career and being threatened by a Scream-like killer who says “Tick, Tock, Tock” not once but twice, and the latter time it’s presented even deeper like it’s a legendary one liner. Pacino often gets lost, but Alicia Witt, what happened? Do not defend this trailer/movie in the comments. [See the trailer here.]

You can also watch the trailer in High Definition on Yahoo! Movies. 88 Minutes hits movie theaters on April 18th 2008.

THEATER, TV, DVD & BLU-RAY REVIEWS

  • The Ugly Truth

    CHICAGO – Here’s an alleged romantic comedy as clueless about romance as it is about comedy. It has a premise designed to illustrate how women think with their minds, while men think with their nether regions. Yet the male and female leads of “The Ugly Truth” are practically indistinguishable from each other.

  • Near Dark

    CHICAGO – It’s funny the way that the Blu-Ray market has developed in that success of a new title can often bring an old one to the HD format more quickly than it otherwise would get there. In the case of the great “Near Dark,” it’s the success of two films, one that shares a theme (“The Twilight Saga: New Moon”) and one that shares director Kathryn Bigelow (“The Hurt Locker”). Whatever the reason, don’t fail to include arguably the best vampire movie ever made in your collection.
