touch me, i'm dick

Welcome to the movie review world, SDM style.  It goes like this, WE DON'T WATCH THE MOVIES.  Instead, we take a gander at the previews, consider the hype, put it through the grinder and give you our take on the situation.  It's a simple process really, but we're the ones doing it.

 

The Newton Boys

I don't know what movies are coming out, but I saw something about The Newton Boys. With the exception of Dwight Yoakam, why watch it? Skeet Ulrich, three 1/4 hit wonder boy. There are some other folks, but why watch it? What really messed it up for me was the fact that they played some dance music (republica) for the trailer which doesn't seem to fit in with a movie set in the turn of the century or before. On the plus side, there are guns, bank robberies, possibly some sex, and I'm willing to bet at least one chase. This could be good and, since the titanic is still out, probably fresh. But the question we must ask ourselves is: If the titanic wasn't out, would this movie be just another piece of shit? I think I've given all the clues you need to know. One finger, one thumb... just for the adrenalin tease.

For those of you wondering about the great Dwight Yoakam, he is a country singer who makes it all seem so cool. He was also the shining light in Sling Blade. The Man Who Hated Everything.
