Opinging the week we've got...


TRON
A virtual-world worker looks to take down the Master Control Program. I think I just might actually pay the extra cash to watch this one in 3D.

How Do You Know
Feeling a bit past her prime at 27, former athlete Lisa Jorgenson finds herself in the middle of a love triangle, as a corporate guy in crisis competes with Lisa's current, baseball-playing beau. The only appealing thing about this movie is that Reese looks the best she ever has, plus it's got Mike from Friends

Yogi Bear
A documentary filmmaker travels to Jellystone Park to shoot a project and soon crosses paths with Yogi Bear, his sidekick Boo-Boo, and Ranger Smith. I still don't really know why this movie was made.

I don't even think I have to mention that, of course, I'm checking out Tron first thing this weekend, but because Fighter didn't open at my local theater last week, I'll no doubt check that one out too.

If we didn't have enough proof already, the new trailer for the upcoming movie Real Steel, proves beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Hollywood has officially run out of ideas.

The film's plot description won't admit it, but how can this be anything else other than a movie based on the classic children's toy "Rock'em Sock'em Robots".

That said, I have to admit, it actually looks like an okay movie, I'm just wondering now what other toy/board games can be adapted onto the big-screen. Could 2012 be the year of the Hungry Hungry Hippos movie?

Okay, So it's pretty obvious by now, Mel Gibson is not a good guy, or at least, he's not as charming, and lovable as the characters he's played in most of his movies, but you have to admit... the guy is pretty talented.

I'm sure by now we've all heard the tapes of him blowing-up on his girlfriend, but I find it very hard to hold that against him. We've all had our share of embarrassing moments, and we all have character flaws, the only difference is ours aren't posted on youtube and viewed by millions of people (or at least not yet anyway). I personally would hate it if everyone only focused on my defects and overlooked the good.

The first Mel Gibson movie I remember seeing was the first Lethal Weapon, and I remember liking it. I also liked Forever Young, Braveheart, Signs, just to mention a few. I also liked a some of the five movies he's directed so far. Arguably, they may not have been masterpieces, but they were solidly made films.

Frankly, I know I'll never meet Mel in person, and we'll certainly never be friends, but some of the characters he's played will live on in my mind as great people. I choose to focus on that, and I hope he is able to introduce us to some even greater people/characters in the future.

It's been announced that Zack Snyder will direct the next Superman movie, and I couldn't be happier.

It had been reported for a while now that Snyder would direct Superman with Christopher Nolan as a contributing producer. However, it was recently announced that Snyder is now 100% in charge of the film since Nolan will be too busy working on the next Batman.

In my opinion, Snyder has definitely proven himself worthy of taking-on the next Superman film all by himself. It's clear from his work on 300, The Watchmen, and most recently Legend of The Guardians that this guy knows exactly how to present a story in the appropriate visual style.

Since comics are a very visual medium, style and design are key elements. However, just as important to a successful comic-book film adaption is the connection between the audience and the main characters of the film. It can be argued that King Leonidas and Rorschach were great charters, but most can agree they were very interesting, and even emotionally engaging.

I love that comic book characters are finally being taken seriously by Hollywood, and that serious consideration is given to who will be in charge of their big-screen adaptations. For an industry that, understandably, makes decisions based on financial factors, I take it as a sign of a "creative maturity" that Warner Bros. chose a director that has made some pretty awesome movies yet hasn't made a whole lot of money at the Box-Office.

The Tourist
Revolves around Frank, an American tourist visiting Italy to mend a broken heart. Elise is an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path.

The Chronicles of Narnia
Lucy and Edmund Pevensie return to Narnia with their cousin Eustace where they meet up with Prince Caspian for a trip across the sea aboard the royal ship The Dawn Treader. Along the way they encounter dragons, dwarves, merfolk, and a band of lost warriors before reaching the edge of the world.

They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but you can definitely judge a movie by its poster. I don't even have to read the plot for these because its just so obvious that they are about. I will say this about one of this week's movies. The trailer for Burlesque was one of the dumbest I've seen in a very long time. It made the movie seem so stupid that I don't just NOT want to see it, It made me actually pissed-off the movie was made in the first place.

Is about an unmanned, half-mile-long freight train carrying some pretty bad stuff that no one has control of and is headed straight into a big city, where it could kill everyone. It's funny, even though this movie is based on true events, the plot for it still sounds pretty cheesy. I keep hearing Homer Simpson in my head referring to this movie as "The Train That Couldn't Slow Down".

Morning Glory
Is about a hotshot television producer who is trying to save his struggling morning television show. Other than that, I know very little about this movie, except that it stars Rachel McAdams; she's always fun to look at.

Skyline
It's an alien invasion movie.
These are all pretty much the same, yet I still enjoy most of them. They rarely have a believable plot (with a few exceptions, of course) but they always have cool special effects, and cool creatures, which ultimately is all we expect these days from sci-fi action films. I don't think this film will fail to deliver.

Due Date
Is about a father-to-be, and an aspiring actor taking a road trip in order to make it to the child's birth on time. This movie looks funny from the trailers, and I guess that is probably the reason I won't go see it this weekend because it's been my experience that they usually always put the fumiest parts of comedies into their trailers that there really is no reason to watch the movie... you've already seen the best parts. 

For Colored Girls
Is about four women dealing with different issues that impact women in general and women of color in particular. I'm sure this will be a good movie that deals with important issues, but I'm not black and I'm not a woman, this movie was very obviously not made for me so there's no point in me watching it.

Megamind
Family movies have all been pretty great this year, and I don't see why this one will be any exception. It's got a pretty appealing all-star cast and Computer Animated movies always have some pretty cool 3D effects.

Paranormal Activity 2
This is a movie about a household that captures some "creepy" footage on their home security cameras. This should be a great movie because everyone knows the best movies ever made were shot using security cameras with no script.

Hereafter
This one I am actually looking forward to seeing. The last few Clint Eastwood films I saw were absolutely amazing, and I've always been drawn to movies that try to answer big, and meaningful questions. What could be more meaningful than trying to answer the one question no one has a simple answer to; What happens to us when we die?

The Company Men
This story centers on a year in the life of three men trying to survive a round of corporate downsizing at a major company, and how that affects them, their families, and their communities. I don't really know if I have to see this movie, I feel like I'm already living it. (in a way)

Life as we know it is about two single people who become caregivers to an orphaned girl when their mutual best friends die in an accident. This is a pretty sad premise for a movie, but the trailers sells this as a feel-good family movie. It's one of two family movies opening this week... (I'll continue my thought at the end of this post)

My Soul to Take is about a serial killer who returns to his hometown to stalk seven children who share the same birthday as the date he was allegedly put to rest. The trailer makes a big deal about how this movie is directed by Master of Horror Wes Craven, but the nothing in the trailers leads me to believe there's anything different in this movie that we haven't seen in every Horror made in the last decade. Even so, I choose not to under estimate good ol' Wes.

Secretariat is the life story of Penny Chenery, who was the owner of a famous racehorse named Secretariat, who won the Triple Crown in 1973. (to continue my thought) Out of the two family movies opening this week, even though I have no doubt Secretariat will be a "higher quality" movie, I just don't see kids going crazy over it. Kids, I believe, are the target audience when a movie is considered a family film, but I have a hard time figuring out just what audience this movie was made for. So I really do see Life as we know it, being the safer bet this weekend in spite of it's arguably depressing premise.

Editor's Note: it could just be that I have a crappy smart phone, but it seems like our local theater's website is almost impossible to read on mobile devices. Since I've put a lot of effort into making this blog as "mobile-friendly" as possible, I have decided to post local Show-times for the coming weekend, hopefully every week on this site. I know I'm going to use this to view local show times on-the-go, and I hope this is useful to you as well. As always, Thanks for visiting the blog.

Enjoy the Show!

There will definitely be something for everyone this weekend at you local theater. Opening this week we've got an weird animated family movie "Alpha and Omega", a teen comedy "Easy A", a serious adult drama "The Town", and something for everyone in between "Devil".

Alpha and Omega, is an animated family movie with a somewhat disturbing plot about one female wolf, and one male wolf who are dropped in a certain area to reproduce, implying that the story will eventually involve (or imply) animals mating.

Easy A, is a loose modern retelling of classic literature's "The Scarlet Letter". In the film the main character lies about her promiscuity and is branded a "Harlot".

The Town, is one that I'm actually really looking forward to, It's a pretty basic bank-hist type movie with a promised twist, but I'm expecting the plot to take a back seat to what are sure to be some pretty great performances from some proven talented actors.

Devil, not much is said about the plot to this movie, implying some crazy twist ending, but from what I can tell from the trailer is that it's a movie about people that are trapped in an elevator with some kind of evil supernatural creature... or are they?

Not much to choose from this week with only one movie opening nation wide: Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D

I think this is the fourth of the Resident Evil movies, and I'm sure it's the first one in 3D. They've all been okay films. Okay in the sense that they deliver what they promise, a beautiful girl with big guns killing zombies. I don't remember the plot to any of these films, and ultimately I don't think they really matter much as long as there's always something being shot at. I guess things should be just a little better this time in that everything that gets shot at will be in in-your-face 3D.

Hello Everyone! Back From my vacation, ready to for this week's exciting new releases. Opening this week we've got; Going the Distance, The American, and Machete.

I still think there's something a little funny about a movie called The American, is opening opposite a movie featuring a Mexican Hero... hm.

Going the Distance: is a romantic comedy about a couple trying to survive a long distance relationship. I'll admit, I've seen some pretty entertaining performance from both Drew Barrymore, and the "Mac" guy. This one might not be such a bad date movie after all.

The American; the plot summary for this one is a little confusing, but I think it's supposed to be about an American assassin, or arms maker who ends up in a lot of trouble somewhere overseas. I'm not sure, but the trailer for this one make George Clooney look like an action hero again. It's been a while.

Machete: Is all about a Mexican killing white people, (but only the white people that are bad guys of course). It's the latest work from one of my all time favorite, and Texas native, director Robert Rodriguez. I've been waiting for this one for over a year, and I'll no doubt be in line for the midnight release.

The Expendables, I haven't even looked at the plot description for this movie, and I don't have to, it features pretty much all of my all-time favorite action movie-gods, and I all I want from this movie is to see them do what they do best; kill bad guys, and blow stuff up. The only way this movie could be disappointing is if it actually takes itself too seriously.

Dinner for Schmucks, is about rich people who host a yearly dinner inviting people who they think are the biggest idiots in the world. The person who brings the biggest idiot to the dinner is the winner of something, I don't really know, it's not made clear in the trailer. This movie seems like it'll have a few good laughs, but it also seems a little mean-spirited.

Cats & Dogs 2, is a squeal to the original Cats & Dogs that came out a few years ago, it's about dogs and cats that are actually super-spies that save the world on a daily basis. This seems a little silly, a lot actually, but this should work well if you want to take your toddler to the movies this weekend, but I think any child older than eight, might think this whole concept, is "kinda dumb".

Charlie St. Cloud, this is a movie about a young man who can see, and talk to his little brother who was killed in an accident. I'm not sure what the over all plot of the story is, but it's being sold as an emotional drama. It stars Zac Efron, who has been working very hard to break away from all the High School Musical movies, and be taken seriously as an actor. I guess we'll see how that works out.

I actually don't think I'll watch any of these movies this weekend. I think I'm one more viewing away from, once, and for all, solving the mystery of Inception.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice is about exactly that, the story of how a young man becomes a Sorcerer's Apprentice. This movie is directed by the same guy that directed the National Treasure movies which weren't great, but were entertaining without taking themselves to seriously. That's pretty much what I expect this movie will be like with what, I'm sure, will be some pretty amazing special effects.  

Inception, which I'm sure I'll catch the midnight screening for, is a film I have been waiting for, for a while now. It's directed by Christopher Nolan who, in my opinion, is one of the best directors making films today. This is his first film since Batman: The Dark Night. I'm actually not too clear as to what the plot is since I've made an effort to avoid any spoilers, but I have no reason to believe this movie will disappoint in any way.

I'm obviously going to watch Predators this week, but I'll admit Despicable Me looks pretty good also.

Predators: I was blown-away when I heard that Robert Rodriguez would be in charge of making the next Predator Movie. I have been a fan of Rodriguez for years, and I love every movie he's made so far. However, I wrongly assumed that he would actually direct Predators. It turns out he's actually on the project as producer, and Nimrod Antal (I've never heard of him either) is on as Director. I still have high hopes for this movie though. This movie looks like it's a little more grounded to the original (and the best) Predator movie, so I'm hoping it will help me forget all about the whole Alien Vs Predator concept.

Despicable Me: Looks pretty funny, and entertaining from the trailers, and I really don't see why it wouldn't be. He can go a little over the top sometimes, but Steve Carell is always funny, and rarely disappoints. Some of the scenes shown in the trailer are, I think, a little crude for very young children, but it's being sold as a family movie so I guess it should be wholesome enough to take the whole family to. 

..and I'm back, with bad news unfortunately. It looks like we'll have to stop the YouTube version of this blog for a while. We just aren't at a level yet were we can produce a show on a weekly basis, but we hope to be able to do so in the not to distant future.

With that said, Lets check out what we can expect to find at our local theater this week.

Opening this week we've got... Eclipse which is the third of the Twilight Movies, I guess in this one Bella has to decide who she loves more the white guy or the Indian guy... or something like that, I don't know, I don't really care, and really it doesn't matter because there really is no around it, you know you're going to go see this movie no matter what. Either you'll go voluntarily or you'll get dragged into it.

Also opening this week is The Last Airbender which is a movie based on a Nick cartoon, and is directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

I like M. Night, He's directed some awesome movies (and some bad ones), I think over all he's got some cool tricks up his sleeve, and I've decided to remain optimistic about his latest work.

That's it for this week,

Check back for more next week.

Hello Everyone!

I wasn't able to make a video version of this week's movie preview, but should be back on youtube for next week's MP.

Opening this week we've got Sex and the City 2, and The Prince of Persia.

Sex and the City 2
I don't know much about this series at all, and don't really care to, but I've been told the plot to this movie is being kept quite because even the simplest description can be a spoiler.

The Prince of Persia
is based on the old 80's video game, which follows an adventurous prince who teams up with a princess to stop an angry ruler from unleashing a sandstorm that could destroy the world.

I'm honestly not too excited about either of these films, but if I had to choose I'd go with The Prince of Persia for this week, if you're taking a date however, I think the choice is obvious.

A hot tube that is also a time machine has got to be the most ridiculous concept for a movie that any of us has ever heard of, and that's exactly why I have to see this movie.

I don't expect a great plot. I don't expect great performances. I don't expect anything except to sit back and relax and enjoy a movie that obviously isn't taking itself seriously and that's okay, it's been a while that we've had a movie we can go see with a group of our goofy friends.

I'm still not sure what this movie is about really. I've watched the trailer several times and I get the concept but I don't see the meaning behind it.

Either way, I do want to see this film. I like Jude Law, and I'm not sure if I've seen him in this type of role before. This should be interesting.

I couldn't possibly allow myself to miss the premiere of a Paul Greengrass film. He is at the top of the list of my favorite directors.

In The Green Zone, Greengrass teams up once more with, the always awesome, Matt Damon who is absolutely incapable of giving a poor performance.

I'm really looking forward to this one. Paul Greengrass is a master at making you feel like you're right in the middle of the action.

If you see someone in the theater ducking and rolling to avoid being shot, go over, slap me in the back of the head and remind me that it's just a movie.

I've always been a fan of Post-Apocalyptic action adventures, but too much of good thing, can be a bad thing, and frankly, I'm getting tired of the recent "end-of-the-world" craze.

But I'll probably still watch, this movie for a couple of reasons. First of all, I'm a huge Denzel Washington, the man who is incapable of giving a bad performances, and well, even though I still think there's just too many of them being made, I contunue to be a Post-Apocalypse nut.

I've purposely not read too much about this film, (It's plot) to avoid spoilers, but from the brief synopsis I have read, it's about a man who for some reason protects a book that holds a powerful secret.

This should prove to be a pretty entertaining film, I just hope it doesn't turn out to be one of those, preachy post-apocalyptic movies about how we all ruined everything and how we deserved what we got.

As you no doubt noticed, I haven't posted to this blog in a while, a long while.

These last few month were, as I'm sure you can relate, very hectic. Plus I have been spending a lot of time on side projects that I'm just about done with. I should be able to start posting on a regular basis starting this coming weekend.

A lot of very exciting things have been happening worth mentioning and I hope to post on sever of these things in future posts.

Thanks for being patient and check back again real soon.
