Coming Soon: 9/30/11

New week, new set of movies.  Let's take a look!

1) 50/50: Story of friendship and survival when a kid is diagnosed with cancer.

The Good: A very emotional and powerful story.

The Bad: Might be too impactful.

Final Thoughts: Everyone has been effected by cancer in some way or another.  It's a terrible disease and sometimes the treatment is almost as bad as the disease.  These stories are going to make you cry.  Be prepared.

2) What's Your Number?:  Woman reads a magazine article and believes she is going to be alone forever.

The Good: I got nothing

The Bad: This is offensive to women and to intellectual people everywhere. 

Final Thoughts:  Because she read somewhere that if she dated more than 20 guys she won't get married, she goes on a road trip to get back together with an ex-boyfriend?  Not one in perticular.  Just one of them.  Any one of them... Yep. I don't need to check.  The world has officially run out of stupid.  This movie sucked up all the stupid.

3) Dream House: Family moves into a new house but find out that it was the scene of a murder that was never solved.

The Good: Daniel Craig is in it.  Also, it sounds like a good, old time, who done it?  kind of movie.

The Bad: The trailer looks pretty good up until they give away the twist and bring in the ghosts.

Final Thoughts: I might go see it but I am not all that enthused.  Still might be good.

4) Courageous: The story of the lives of four police officers and their struggles to be good Dads and good cops.

The Good: It looks awesome.  It highlights the importance of being a good parent and actually taking the time and making sacrifices.

The Bad: I see nothing wrong with it.

Final Thoughts: Anyone with kids or anyone thinking of having kids should see this movie.  You might learn something about being a parent and about being a good human being.

5) Tucker & Dale vs Evil: A horror comedy about two guys who are mistaken for killer rednecks by camping preppies.

The Good:  Looks hilarious.  I love it when movies play around with expectations.

The Bad: Might be a bit too slap stick for some taste.  And the blood might turn others off.

Final Thoughts: I so want to see this movie!  To hell with Harold and Kumar.  I want more Tucker and Dale!

See you at the movies!
