Theatrical Release Pick for 9/1/2006

Again, a day later than I had hoped. In my defense, I've been ill. So there. On with the show.

I pick: Crank, starring Jason Statham, about a guy who gets injected with a poison that is counteracted only by adrenaline, so he has to keep his heart rate up in order to live. As I mentioned earlier, it's like Speed, but from the heart.

Close behind it, almost a toss-up, really, I would pick The Wicker Man, starring Nicholas Cage, Ellen Burstyn, and LeeLee Sobieski. It's about a police officer (Cage) who sees a little girl die but then appears alive. Apparently, this is a remake of a horror film, but this version doesn't appear to hold to the horror trappings other than the girl seeming to come back to life.
