The best thing about "Escape from Rehab" -- a new minigame promoting the "Disaster Movie" spin-off from the "Scary Movie" parody series -- is that it makes Amy Winehouse look kinda awesome.
Yeah, the underlying "joke" is about her druggie persona and her habit of walking around London looking, um, undone. But in the game, she comes off as a kind of an obscenity-spouting superhero, taking on some of the summer's stars -- the Hulk, Iron Man, a cosmo-carrying Carrie Bradshaw from "Sex and the City" -- throwing various drugs or head-butting them with her trademark beehive, as she struggles to get to her beloved husband Blake Fielder-Civil.
Winehouse has a long road ahead of her, dealing with her addictions and other personal problems. But the game does show her as a force to be reckoned with and, in the end, she does conquer all. Hopefully that will happen in her real life as well. [Below, a reminder of how amazing Winehouse is musically.]
