This Friday is when all the new movies are set to release. It's a time of anticipation. Many critics haven't yet set their fangs into the newest releases just yet so perhaps a great movie is just around the corner... or it could be just another cash-in waste of time and sanity. So, I'm going to tell you the good and the bad based solely on the trailers and the actors involved which ones might be worth watching.
Conan The Barbarian. Conan starts on a quest of vengance and gets over his head in a conspiracy by the mystical evil beings to destroy the world. The Good: It's going to be a high action adventure movie with a relatively simple plot and some impressive effects. The Bad: It's a movie remake, it's shot specifically for 3D so the 2D might not be so good, and the cast of characters leaves a lot to be desired.
Conclusion: This one is going to be hit or miss. Some people will enjoy the stylized computer effects and others are going to be turned off by it and that's the only real selling point of the movie. I'm expecting a movie like the Clash of the Titans remake. Skip it.
Fright Night: A man is convinced his neighbor is a vampire. The Good: It's back to form in the classic vampire movies. Vampires are blood thirsty monsters that stalk the night looking to kill people. The Bad: It's another remake of an already very good movie.
Conclusion: If you like scary monster movies, this might be for you. But give the 1985 version a chance if you're really interested. And stay away from Fright Night 2.
One Night: A romantic comedy about two friends that share a special day together. And that day continues to be significant every year for the next twenty years. The Good: Anne Hathaway doing what she does best. Romantic comedy. The Bad: It's going to be a bit more artistic in delivery than most may be accustomed to.
Conclusion: I recommend this one. I think it's going to be an interesting experiment in storytelling and should be heartwarming.
Have fun and keep watching.
