The weekend is almost here, and with that amazing news also comes your preview of the newest and hottest theatrical movies to be released. Action, romance, comedy, and zombies all make up this weekend’s crop of films, and while your eyes may be popping out of their head at the words ‘action’ and ‘zombies,’ don’t get too excited just yet. I mean, I dig action just as much as the next guy, just not when it’s based on a video game, and zombies? As much as I love them, well, you be the judge. I do like sex though, but before I get too ahead of myself, here’s what’s playing this weekend at a theater near you.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Jake Gyllenhaal as an action star? Yeah, I’m not buying it either.

It may be brought to you by the same team that did Pirates of the Caribbean, but lately any movie that I’ve seen that is based on a video game just doesn’t cut it for me. Expect lots and lots of high concept action in this one, but that’s about it. The storyline looks typical, and with Gyllenhaal starring, I’m sure whatever romance there is will be forced, as he will be busy flaunting his long locks and flexing his new found muscles way too much.

Sex and the City 2

The girls from the hit television show are back on the big screen to flaunt their promiscuous ways in this, the second film in whatever series they’re trying to put together here. This time the women actually get out of New York City to go gallivanting around the world in order to find some sex, like the desperate 30-somethings they are. Are they still in their 30′s? Hell, they could be in their 40′s now for all I care. Marriage, love, and yes, sex, all make up the storyline for this one, just don’t expect any nudity, okay?

Survival of the Dead

George A. Romero returns to the directors chair for this, the next film in his epic zombie series that has spanned more than 40 years. Like its predecessors, this one features loads of the undead attacking survivors who are desperately trying to stay alive. This one is different in the sense that it has more of a western feel to it, with two family’s trying to maintain order only to battle one another, while trying to fend off the zombies at the same time. Expect lots of blood and guts, but little plot though, as Romero seems to be rehashing the same old formula over and over. Hey, it’s a zombie movie. What do you expect?
