Coming Soon: 11/18/11

Last Week was a bad week for movies.  There were a lot of contenders for Razzies.  Let's see what we have this week.

1) The Descendants: Deadbeat Dad loses his wife and not has to raise his two girls alone.

The Good: George Cloony knows how to do drama.

The Bad: it's blatent Oscar bait.  You have been warned.

Final Thoughts: My guess is that it'll be a very dramatic movie, but there's nothing new here.  George Cloony will probably carry the movie so, yeah.  Watch it.

2) Tomboy: A little girl with short hair is mistaken for a boy and she goes along with that so she can be one of the boys.

The Good: It's a movie about relationships and how children treat each other.

The Bad: This movie was already made back in the early '80s.  (Just One of the Guys [1985])

Final Thoughts: I liked Just One of the Guys.  This one is slightly different since it's 10 year olds and less of a comedy.  Should be interesting.

3) Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 Bella and Edward get married and have a baby.

The Good: I have no words.  I'm in aw that Twilight has such a rabid following.

The Bad: The romance is a joke, the acting is terrible, and the story is embarrassing.

Final Thoughts: Why should I care when a sociopath marries a monster?  Think God it's almost over.

4) Happy Feet 2: Mumble's son Erik is afraid to dance.  And then Erik comes to aadmire a penguin who can fly.

The Good: It's a cute idea.  I'm glad the series is having some fon with itself.

The Bad: It's for kids.  Adults without kids are not going to enjoy it that much.

Final Thoughts: Please take your kids to see it.  They'll love it.

5) Tyrannosaur: A hopeless drunk meets a good Christian woman who helps him change his ways and he helps her get away from her abusive husband.

The Good: It sounds like a good heart-warming drama.

The Bad: Why is this movie called Tyrannosaur if there arent' any dinosaurs?  Or anything even remotely involving dinosaurs?

Final Thoughts: It's a simple story told well.  Much like Gran Turino, it's a dramatic story of redemption and helping out our fellow human beings.  Just don't expect any dinosaurs.

See you at the movies.
