Coming Soon: 6/1/12

Hey everyone.  I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend.  I know I did.  I got to see some old college buddies of mine.  They had a new baby girl and she's cute as a button.  And as a bonus, I got to introduce them that is the cheesy greatness of Commando starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.  If you haven't seen it yet, go find it.  You'll laugh most of the way through.  Anyway, this is an article about what is coming out on Friday, so let's see.

1) SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN: The story of Snow White only told from a much darker tone.

The Good: It's an interesting take on a classic fairy tale we've all heard since we were kids and reminds me more of the Grimm Fairy Tales.

The Bad: This is the 4th Snow White movie in the last two years and I really have soured on Kristen Stewart as an actress.

Final Thoughts: I'm just not interested.  It might be a good movie but it's not enough to peek my interest.

2) FOR GREATER GLORY: A melodrama set to the background of the Cristero War.

The Good: It's a tear jerker type movie teaching about life, liberty, humanity, and a part of history often ignored.

The Bad: If you're not in to melodramas, this 2 and 1/2 hour movie is going to be torture.

Final Thoughts: Too long, too sappy, and just not worth the theater price.

3) BATTLEFIELD AMERICA: All about the grimey underbelly of the world of competitive street dancing.

The Good: It's You Got Served mixed with the Bad News Bears.

The Bad: It's You Got Served mixed with the Bad News Bears!!!

Final Thoughts: It's a niche market movie.  If you don't like this kind of stuff, it won't win converts.  But I don't see this being as fun or goofy as You Got Served.

4) PIRANHA 3DD: The prehistoric killer fish are back and this time they are going to a water park.

The Good: The first one wasn't so great and seemed to relish in ripping off Jaws in the first 4 minutes.

The Bad: The premise of this movie is ripping off Jaws 3D.  God help us all a bad movie is ripping off ideas from a bad movie.

Final Thoughts: This one might rival Battleship as one of the worst movies this year.  All the best actors are just cameos.  It's going to be painful.

5) HIGH SCHOOL: The class valedictorian smokes marijuana for the first time and it puts his college hopes in jeopardy.

The Good: A movie in the same vein as Half Baked. 

The Bad: It really doesn't offer much other than drug humor.

Final Thoughts: Surprisingly might be the best movie out this week.

See you at the movies
