Opening This Week - Oct. 29, 2010

Not much variety this week with just one film opening nationwide; Saw 3D.

I think I saw the first... Saw, but I can't even remember if I saw the following six or whatever the count is now, I haven't really been keeping up with it. That's not to say they're bad movies, I'm just not that into them, seems like they're pretty gruesome, but not very scary. However, this one is going to be in 3D so I guess that's a big deal. 

Regardless of whether it's good or bad, it'll be a horror movie opening Halloween weekend so it's definitely the right film at the right time.

Opening This Week - Oct. 22, 2010

Opening this week we've got, Paranormal Activity 2, The Company Men, and Hereafter.

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)

Opening This Week - Oct. 8, 2010

Opening this week we've got; Life as We Know It, My Soul to Take, and Secretatiat.

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.

This Weekend's Local Show-Times (RGC)

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!
