There were some great movies out last week. Let's see if the trend continues. What's coming out this Friday?
1) The Grey: Oil workers must survive the Alaskan wilderness and wild wolves after a plane crash.
The Good: It sounds like a great adventure story. The survival genre needs more great stories.
The Bad: I'm not a fan of Liam Neeson. Plus the CG wolves look terrible.
Final Thoughts: I don't have the highest hopes for it, but I don't think it'll be that bad either. Give it a try.
2) Man on a Ledge: An ex-cop convicted of a crime stands out on a ledge and talks with a negotiator.
The Good: It's a tense drama that goes beyond the simple plot.
The Bad: It's one of those stories that gets into the absurd the longer you think about it.
Final Thoughts: It's not going to be a good movie. I'd avoid it.
3) One For the Money: A woman down on her luck takes a job as a bounty hunter. Her first assignment is to capture an ex love from high school.
The Good: You can't be serious.
The Bad: This is a rehashed story from an already disasterously bad movie. AKA "The Bounty Hunter"
Final Thoughts: Do not see this movie. It's going to hurt. It's The Bounty Hunter but without Jennifer Aniston. Just don't.
4) The Wicker Tree: A sequel to The Wicker Man where two missionaries are asked to be the Queen of the May and Laddie.
The Good: It won't be good.
The Bad: It's a sequel to a movie that had already been ruined by an unnecessary and unsuccessful remake with Nick Cage. The Wicker Man is less of a horror story and more of a punchline because of the Nick Cage remake. Maybe this will resurrect the franchise, but I doubt it.
See you at the movies
