New 'Street Fighter' deserves to get KO'd
Well, this week was a bust. Between that Jonas brothers concert
movie, a gender-bending university comedy, an "Eagle Eye" rip-off
and a new "Street Fighter" movie, I just assumed that "Street
Fighter" would be the most worthy new film to review this time. It
turns out I may have been tragically wrong, but no matter: This
weekend brings "Watchmen," and the ensuing weeks bring a whole slew
of high-profile pre-summer releases that are sure to be better than
this lot.
