Forgive the lateness of this. I really do try to get these done on Monday. Things just piled up on me and I lost track of my days. Anyway, time to see what's out there this week.
1) Wanderlust: A stressed out New York couple find a quirky place where they learn about a different way to live.
The Good: It's a quirky brand of comedy. Lots of sexual humor and crazy situations.
The Bad: I'm not sure it offers much more than crude humor.
Final Thoughts: I can see this being a very uneven comedy. Some parts are going to be good, but overall I think it'll be disappointing.
2) Act of Valor: A fictional account of real life Navy SEAL operations.
The Good: An interesting experiment of incorporating real life military with movie cinematics.
The Bad: It advertises that it is starring real life Navy SEALs but I'm looking at the movie's cast and I'm seeing only veteran actors. And not very good ones either.
Final Thoughts: I want to see this movie really badly, but if the action isn't very good, this movie is going to suck.
3) Gone: A woman's sister goes missing. Fearing that a serial killer abducted her, she races against the clock to save her sister.
The Good: I really like the subplot of how everyone thinks she's crazy.
The Bad: It feels really contrived. Be careful. This has bad movie written all over it.
Final Thoughts: I won't see it. I have no faith in Amanda Seyfried as a leading actress. Especially in an action/thriller.
4) Tyler Perry's Good Deeds: A guy stuck in his own bubble meets someone that challenges his world view.
The Good: I don't know. Maybe it won't suck as much as I think it does?
The Bad: This is an egotistical piece of garbage written, directed, and starring Tyler Perry.
Final Thoughts: Did you get the joke? The title? It's a Tyler Perry movie featuring Tyler Perry where Tyler Perry does a "good deed"? Yeah. Not funny. I know. Tyler Perry sucks. Keep walking.
See you at the movies
