Say it ain't so, Dwayne Johnson, say it ain't so!

While perusing through FirstShowing.net, I found a movie titled Disney's Race to Witch Mountain. I am conflicted about this on so many levels. First of all, it's a movie that is a remake of one that I actually liked from childhood, Escape to Witch Mountain, which I loved as a kid.

Enter 2008, and then they wanted to do a remake. It is directed by Andy Fickman, with such credits She's The Man and The Game Plan. Which explains Dwayne Johnson's appearance. You might be asking, why would I care. The answer is this. I now have to add The Rock to my list of actors that I'll never pay money to see again. All these actors are Disney movie alums who are just looking for a paycheck. I gave him a pass for The Game Plan, but now...It just will not work out between us. So, sorry Dwayne you're going on the list with the likes of:
- Eddie Murphy
- Vin Diesel
- Adam Sandler
- Robin Williams
- Martin Lawrence
- Paul Walker
- Brendan Fraser
- Rick Moranis
- Michelle Trachtenburg
- John Travolta
- Anne Hathaway
- Tim Allen
- Cuba Gooding Jr.
Also, inevitably it's going to be one of those crappy Disney remakes that disappoints on so many levels. Which will inevitably get me into a fight with some soccer mom, at the video counter. For Example (This has happened in the past):

One day, while at a local Blockbuster, I decided that I would buy a recent zombie flick. While checking at the counter, after I asked the blue-shirted Blockbuster rep about the movie, a woman in her 40's brazenly told me "Why would you watch that!? Those movies are crap. The church even says that someone shouldn't watch them. The prophet says you shouldn't watch them."
She then proceeds to ask, "Do you guys have a copy of 'She's the Man'?"
Of course, I had to lay into her, "So, I'm not supposed to watch a zombie movie, but you'll rent a move about a 19 year old who cross dresses and tries to hook up with with pre-marital intercourse with another teen and early 20 year old. That's okay to you? Remind me, how does the church feel about cross-dressing!?"

Personally, I don't want to get into these kinds of exchanges. I want soccer mom's to live in their little diluted world, and I'll live in mine. This is why with humble shame, that I have to throw Dwayne Johnson into the "do not support" category! It was good knowing you Dwayne through "The Rundown", "Walking Tall", and various crappy action movies but those days are gone.
