These slow months really bug me. Many of these movies I just wouldn't recommend so, it's hard to come up with something to say. Well, let's see what we have this week.
1) Star Wars: Episode 1 The Phantom Menace 3D: See how the story began. How Obwan met Anikin Skywalker.
The Good: Ray Park is amazing with a quarterstaff and the podracing scene in 3D might be cool to see.
The Bad: Jar Jar Binks, Metachlorians, and another reheated piece of crap meant to squeeze a few more million dollars out of enchanted fanboys.
Final Thoughts: Stop the cycle of 3D re-releases of bad movies. Don't go!
2) The Vow: Based on a true story. A woman wakes from a coma and her husband must help her remember.
The Good: If it really is based on a true story, it adds a lot to a basic story.
The Bad: If you don't like romantic dramas, there's no reason to watch.
Final Thoughts: Valentine's Day is coming. This one will put all the lovebirds out there in the mood.
3) Safe House: A dangerous criminal resurfaces and is persued by the CIA. The CIA places him in custody because someone else is trying to kill him.
The Good: Denzel, Denzel, Denzel. A great actor going back to his Training Day roots.
The Bad: Ryan Reynolds hasn't exactly done the best movies lately. And this is a serious action movie.
Final Thoughts: If I had to choose the best movie coming out this week, it's this one. Take that for what it's worth.
4) Journey 2: The Mysterious Island: Explorers go to a strange island full of dangerous creatures and secrets.
The Good: It's going to look cool in 3D.
The Bad: When was the last time Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson was in a good movie?
Final Thoughts: It's going to appeal to the younger audience because there will be a lot of craziness, but I don't see it being any better than any other movie The Rock starred in.
5) Chico and Rita: An animated tale of music and adventure as we watch musicians try to live out their dreams.
The Good: The music is going to be golden! We're talking old school jazz. Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, and Dizzy Gillespie just to name a few.
The Bad: The animation doesn't look as good as it should be. It's done in an artsy style many might not appreciate.
Final Thoughts: Probably won't be in theaters but one worth hunting down and enjoying.
See you at the movies
