Opening This Week - Sept. 3 , 2010

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.

Opening This Week - Aug. 20 , 2010

There will definitely be something for everyone to watch this week with four movies opening nation wide. Opening this week we've got, Piranha 3D, Vampires Suck, Nanny McPhee Returns, and Lottery Ticket

Piranha 3D, What is there to say about this movie really? The title is pretty much an actual summary of the movie; It's a 3D movie about Piranhas. 

Vampires Suck, marks the return of the Spoof genre. This time the filmmakers set their sites on the, both world famous, and word hated, Vampire romance novels that are the Twilight features. This looks pretty funny actually, but I don't really know if it's something I want to spend a movie ticket on. 

Nanny McPhee Returns, just as the title says, this is the return of Nanny McPhee to the big screen. I never saw the first one, and no one I know can seem to remember seeing it either. In my humble opinion, if it's a good family movie you want to see about a nanny teaching kids valuable life lessons, I recommend Netflixing Mary Poppins

Lottery Ticket, is about a young man who wins the lottery but can't cash on the ticket for some reason until the end of a three day weekend, and I guess everyone around him expects to get a cut, or something, I don't really follow. I might be funny, I mean, it stars former kid-rapper who was once called Lil' Bow-Wow.

Opening This Week - Aug. 13 , 2010

Opening this week we've got: Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, The Expendables, and Eat Pray Love.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World is a movie based on a graphic novel about a kid who, for some reason, has to fight off his new girlfriend's evil ex-boyfriends who have apparently teamed up to form a league of evil ex's. If I were this Scott Pilgrim guy I would seriously want to make sure this girl has taken every STD test available, I mean, man... seven ex-boyfriends.

Eat Pray Love is about a woman who feels the need to travel the world for a year to try to "find herself". We've seen these before except this one might be taken a little more seriously since it stars the, almost legendary, Julia Roberts. I know I won't go see this of my own free will, but I'm sure it'll be a good date movie.

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.

Opening This Week - Aug. 6 , 2010

Opening the week is The Other Guys, and Step-Up 3D

The Other Guys, is sold as a movie that's not about the best cops in town, but rather, a movie about the other guys (or cops). I've seen the trailer for this movie several times, and I'll say, it was funny the first time I saw it, but it was just annoying every other time. I'll probably end up watching this movie anyway, but I'll go ahead and use it as one of those movies you use to go out with a group of friends.

Step-Up 3D, what can I say really?, this is a movie for teenagers who like dance movies, so if you fall under this category, you should be in for a good show, this one's in 3D
