New week, new movies, let's go!
1) The Muppets: The Muppet Theater is in jeopardy of being tore down because oil was discovered under it. The Muppets and friends must hold a telethon to save the theater.
The Good: How can you not like the muppets?
The Bad: How can you like Jack Black as an actor?
Final Thoughts: I expect a great movie. But if anyone can bring down a good idea, it's Jack Black. I'm tired of that guy.
2) Hugo: A street rat finds a machine, a girl, and an old man which takes him on a magical journey.
The Good: Martin Scorsese doesn't do bad movies.
The Bad: Martin Scorsese doesn't do kids movies.
Final Thoughts: This is a movie for kids coming out a month before Christmas. It's going to be good. Scorsese is more famous for doing violent action movies, but he is one of the best directors to ever live so be sure to check this one out.
3) Arthur Christmas: A boy has a mission to complete before Christmas is finished.
The Good: It's a classic Christmas story. Who doesn't want more of these? Especially for the kids?
The Bad: I'm not going to riff on a Christmas movie! I want to see it.
Final Thoughts: It's Christmas. It's a Christmas Movie. Have a heart and have a good time.
4) My Week With Marilyn: The true story about a week an intern got to spend with Marilyn Monroe away from all the headaches of Hollywood.
The Good: True stories are always intriguing and so is Marilyn Monroe.
The Bad: What is so interesting that could happen on a week's vacation in England?
Final Thoughts: I want to see it. It sounds interesting and I want to know more about America's most famous actress of all time.
5) A Dangerous Method: Two psychologists become intrigued by a beautiful patient.
The Good: A psychological drama. I love movies like this.
The Bad: Very little star power. I'm not a fan of Keira Knightly.
Final Thoughts: David Cronenburg is famous for making movies like this. Some are good, some are not. I think this one will be good.
6) Rampart: A dirty cop with a horrible personal life is embroiled in the Rampart Corruption Scandal.
The Good: Great cast with Woody Harrelson doing what he does best. Playing flawed but likeable characters.
The Bad: Nothing new here. Watch the Shield sometime.
Final Thoughts: I think it'll be good. It will be worth seeing just for Sigorney Weaver and Ned Beatty.
See you at the movies!
