Disaster Movie: One sign of slow times at the multiplex, if not necessarily of the Apocalypse.
So which new movie are you most overwhelmingly excited to see this week: Disaster Movie, Babylon A.D., College, or Ballet Shoes?
Yes, these are the thin days. The days when the late-summer movies have all opened and the fall movies haven't started.
There's activity off at film festivals (where no one can agree on the Coen brothers' Burn After Reading), but there's not much here at home.
One bright spot is Traitor, an FBI thriller starring Don Cheadle and Guy Pearce, which has a perfectly respectable pedigree; it comes from the writer of 2004's The Day After Tomorrow.

- Disaster Movie is another of the Epic Movie/Date Movie efforts, starring tabloid staples Carmen Electra and Kim Kardashian.
- Babylon A.D. is a Vin Diesel vehicle about a virus and a mercenary that doesn't even have the support of its own original director.
- College is a comedy starring Drake Bell, the flopsy-haired "charmer" of Nickelodeon's Drake & Josh, and — no kidding —
