HEY KIDS! Remember when you worked at a mediocre radio station that sometimes got to interview mediocre musicians and the one thing you were absolutely supposed to not screw up was to get them to cut a station promo? You know, the one that went something like "Hi this is so-and-so from Queensryche and you're rockin' with Classic 107."

Well, Regal has brought this blatant form of prostitution to the big screen.

Prior to the roller coaster, we got Danny Trejo, in character as Machete, introducing the trailer for "Machete Kills". "See it at a Regal Cinema...OR I WILL FIND YOU!"

Then we got Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (NOT in character) encouraging you to see their new flick at a Regal before what was more like a First Look mini documentary about their movie.

Yeah. Okay.

THE PLOT: Two outlaws (or ARE they?) burn down a diner and rob a bank. Wackiness ensues.

Wahlberg and Washington make this movie watchable. They're funny and clever and stuff. More so than the rest of the movie, but it's a decent watch and the crowd here laughed quite a bit. Then again, they also laughed a lot at the "Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa" trailer.

Not going to make my home movie collection, but not a bad waste of time either.
