Ahh February, the month where theaters resemble English dental clinics. This weekend we got a beautiful line up of releases that include Street Fighter: Legend Of Chun Li, Jonas Brothers The 3D Concert Experience, and Echelon Conspiracy (Limited).

The Run Down

Title: Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li

Synopsis:
Based on the popular video game franchise, female fighter Chun Li embarks on a quest for justice.

Starring:
Kristin Kreuk, Chris Klein.

Forcast: $4M

Thoughts:
Does anybody even remember Chun Li from the game? Where's Van Damme? Why did they make this movie? The only draw - and this really is a stretch- but the only reason to see this MAYBE would be Vega, but I mean, c'mon everyone just got over the 90's version.

Watch or Avoid: Avoid (unless your a die-hard SF fan)



Title: Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience

Synopsis:
A 3-D concert film of the 2008 Jonas Brothers "Burning Up" concert tour, as well as documentary footage on the lives of the three brothers.
Starring: Kevin Jonas, Joe Jonas, Nick Jonas.

Forcast: $30M

Thoughts:
Hannah Montana anyone? This is the mother load of cash grabs. There is absolutely no reason for this to be in 3D - and with a cost of about $100K per screen to show this, you know Disney is thinking every little teen girl is going to freak over these guys "poppin off the screen" and they will, but I would only pay to see them "burnin up" on screen.

Watch or Avoid: Avoid



Title: Echelon Conspiracy

Synopsis
: A young American engineer comes into possession of a cell phone that bestows unlimited wealth upon him, never realizing the danger posed to him by the device until security agents close in and start shooting to kill.

Starring:
Shane West, Edward Burns.

Forecast: $2.5M


Thoughts:
It's Eagle Eye with a cellphone. 'Nuff said, and basically the majority of people haven't even heard of this movie - which is a good thing.

Watch or Avoid:
Avoid



Forecast Re-Cap

It's quite the weekend we got here, with all three movies getting an Avoid rating it look's like your either going to have to stay home, or re-kindle your love for Slumdog and Taken - and if the Jonas Bros' have peaked your interest for some 3D check out Coraline before it leaves theaters next week.


Be sure to check our Weekend Report on Sunday after we (unfortunately) watch these flicks, just to prove that you shouldn't.
