I have known a lot of twins in my life. They aren’t that rare, in fact 1 in 33 mothers will give birth to twins. Here’s another fact about twins that may or may not have been made up to serve this blog post, a lot of times there is a cute twin and an ugly twin. Unless you’re talking about Tara Reid’s boob job in which case, they are both ugly twins.
But here’s a prime example of what I mean:
Ashley (Left) = Cute Twin
Mary Kate (Right) = Ugly Twin
See, stuff like that. So it’s no surprise when this summer produced a few twin movies that there were good looking twins and not so good looking counterparts.
Our first pair are kind of the same type of movie. Military bad asses use their training to get out of trouble. The A-Team (June 11) and The Expendables (Aug 13) both look pretty similar but I’m excited about one more than the other. My vote goes to The Expendables only because of its massive collection of action heroes ranging from Sylvester Stallone to Jet Li and its bonus cameos from Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis. The A-team looks equally awesome but I worry it may be too much of a reboot to be good and it may taint the historic glory of the TV show it’s based on. My final prediction: The Expendables is the good twin but see them both!
The other set of twins in cinema are the romantic comedy duo films, Killers and Knight & Day (June 25). Killers stars cougar poacher Aston Kutcher and the irritating Kathrine Heigl as our rom-com duo. Based on the fact that she is so annoying to me I don’t look forward to seeing that movie. Also it just looks as awesome as The Proposal.
Knight and Day will undoubtedly be far superior to it’s opponent since it stars Cameron Diaz and the legendary Tom Cruise. Both movies deal with pretty girls who meet men who are on the run from the secret agencies they used to work for and have mixed innocent ladies up in their mess somehow. Based on the trailers and the cast I’d say go see Knight & Day and if you have difficulty with common motor skills, go see Killers. My final prediction: Knight & Day is the good twin!
Come back next Thursday for another Movie blog!!
