MOVIES: Britney on the Big Screen


Every since her days on the Mickey Mouse Club, Britney Spears has done nothing but "Oo" and "Ah" us with her extremely sexual lyrics and her numerous breakdowns and rehabs.

Now you can live through it all again in Britney's new movie that is set to come out sometime in the future titled "Through the Storm".

I'm not too sure I can really get behind this one. We've seen Marshall Mathers work his way to the top through poverty and a lot of family issues. We've seen Curtis James Jackson III (aka 50 Cent) work his way to the top after getting shot and dealing with gang issues. Do we really need to see Britney and her breakdowns? Where's the drama and story in that. A person who already hit it huge since being a little kid, and we should feel sympathy for her?

The part of all of this that really grinds my gears is the talk going on about the movie. It's said to focus on her breakdown and loss of custody of her children. It is said to be Britney's chance "to prove to the world she's still got it". Since when do people get to make money off of what happens to tons of people, and worse! Maybe we should make a movie about the damages of household abuse on our society.

Overall, I believe Britney is trying to survive and believes she can't do it soley by singing. She is said to be the star of the movie...but might not be. Anna Faris was being lined up, and even Britney's mom thinks that Julia Roberts should play Britney in the Movie.

I say leave her alone and let her sing. This just reminds me of the South Park episode where Spears actually blows her head off with a shotgun (season 12 episode 2).

Just hold onto your pants and keep your eyes open, this one is going to create a huge ruckus.
