New week, new set of movies. Let's take a look!
1) 50/50: Story of friendship and survival when a kid is diagnosed with cancer.
The Good: A very emotional and powerful story.
The Bad: Might be too impactful.
Final Thoughts: Everyone has been effected by cancer in some way or another. It's a terrible disease and sometimes the treatment is almost as bad as the disease. These stories are going to make you cry. Be prepared.
2) What's Your Number?: Woman reads a magazine article and believes she is going to be alone forever.
The Good: I got nothing
The Bad: This is offensive to women and to intellectual people everywhere.
Final Thoughts: Because she read somewhere that if she dated more than 20 guys she won't get married, she goes on a road trip to get back together with an ex-boyfriend? Not one in perticular. Just one of them. Any one of them... Yep. I don't need to check. The world has officially run out of stupid. This movie sucked up all the stupid.
3) Dream House: Family moves into a new house but find out that it was the scene of a murder that was never solved.
The Good: Daniel Craig is in it. Also, it sounds like a good, old time, who done it? kind of movie.
The Bad: The trailer looks pretty good up until they give away the twist and bring in the ghosts.
Final Thoughts: I might go see it but I am not all that enthused. Still might be good.
4) Courageous: The story of the lives of four police officers and their struggles to be good Dads and good cops.
The Good: It looks awesome. It highlights the importance of being a good parent and actually taking the time and making sacrifices.
The Bad: I see nothing wrong with it.
Final Thoughts: Anyone with kids or anyone thinking of having kids should see this movie. You might learn something about being a parent and about being a good human being.
5) Tucker & Dale vs Evil: A horror comedy about two guys who are mistaken for killer rednecks by camping preppies.
The Good: Looks hilarious. I love it when movies play around with expectations.
The Bad: Might be a bit too slap stick for some taste. And the blood might turn others off.
Final Thoughts: I so want to see this movie! To hell with Harold and Kumar. I want more Tucker and Dale!
See you at the movies!
