It's going to be another day or two before I get to the much-anticipated () review of Zombie Strippers, but in the meantime...

Street Kings (5 / 10): Somewhere along the lines Keanu Reeves decided to try to be more of a hard-edge actor (this, Constantine, etc) but it just doesn't work. He's still the acting equivalent of a wet blanket. In this one he tries to play the frazzled burned-out cop but it just doesn't work. However, despite that and a rather lackluster performance by Forest Whitaker, I was still moderately entertained. I think partially because I've always been a sucker for burned-out, anti-hero type cop shows, dating all the way back to Miami Vice (the TV show, not that god-awful POS movie they did a few years ago). And Hugh Laurie (the lead in House) was excellent.
