Nothing to do with Harry Potter.
I was recently unfortunate enough to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks. As the bile rose in my throat I comforted myself with the thought that that would be the last I would see of those detestable vermin. Little did I know that God had other plans. I do understand the appeal of cute cuddly creatures - many kids films centre around them nowadays and animation can do wonders.
However, Tim Hill obviously lost a wager to the devil and was left with a film about three chipmunks whose voices are about as soothing and attractive as Crazy Frog's. Not taking the hint after having made the first one, he then made a sequel. As if this wasn't bad enough, he has doubled the number of vermin!!! And they're female! No prizes for guessing the outcome - the chipmunks will have sex and BAM, Tim Hill has the makings of a trilogy about the demonic offspring of the bestial union.
I am also saddened because I quite like Jason Lee and yet I now feel that this franchise has ruined his credibility. He'll have to be in another Kevin Smith movie to recover.
But that isn't all!!! As if 'not knowing a good time to stop' has become a virus that has spread around Hollywood, there is to be a 'Sex and the City 2'. Oh dear God.
Buddy Holly wrote that he "saw Satan laughing with delight the day the music died". I dread to think what he will be doing on the day this sequel is released. The first installment sullied the good name of crap...is it possible to sink any lower? Well Sarah Jessica Parker and her overwhelming masculinity are striving to find out.
The only way in which I could at all look forward to this movie would be if the trailer began with "From the makers of Saw comes Sex and the City 2..."
