Reel Hub: More Cage Crap, Missed Calls

010708-one_missed_call.jpgNational Treasure: Book of Secrets refuses to go away. It topped the box office for another week.

And very few moviegoers can resist a cheap horror flick like One Missed Call, which came in at number five. The movie is largely an excuse for critics to sharpen their fangs and break out some stunning insults. Wesley Morris called it, "part do-it-yourself lobotomy kit, part-David Cronenberg for the lobotomized, part anti-mobile propaganda." Ed Burns is in it, and he should start missing calls from his agent.

Regarding nonblockbusters, Bostonist is excited about the run of the classic road movie Two-Lane Blacktop and the weekend midnight screening of the Lindsay Lohan mess I Know Who Killed Me at the Brattle Theatre. Memo to One Missed Call producers: If you're going to make a bad movie, at least go all out and call Lindsay Lohan.
