I'm so excited for this week. And here's why.
1) Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. A murder mystery that could be wrapped in a bigger mystery perpetrated by Holmes' greatest rival, Professor Moriarty.
The Good: Did you see the first movie? It was awesome. Now we throw in the greatest criminal mastermind? This is just too much awesome.
The Bad: It hasn't come out sooner.
Final Thoughts: I want to see this movie so bad. The wait is killing me.
2) Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol: Ethan Hunt and IMF are implicated in a terrorist attack. Hunt must clear his name while bing completely off the grid.
The Good: It looks like the best Mission Impossible movie yet.
The Bad: Being the best Mission Impossible movie is a very low bar.
Final Thoughts: My personal feelings about Tom Cruise aside, this looks like a great movie. But it is going to be stupid and cheesy. Watch at your own risk.
3) Alvin and the Chipmonks Chipwrecked: The chipmonks and chimpettes are stranded on a deserted island. Or are they?
The Good: Fans of the Chipmonks are going to like it.
The Bad: Only fans of the Chipmonks are going to like it.
Final Thoughts: I know it's a kids movie. I know it's big business and makes a lot of money. But haven't we had enough of this series? The Chipmonks were old when I was a kid. Isn't it time to exploit some other old cartoon series? How about a Snagglepuss or Wally Gator movie?
4) Carnage: Two kids have a fight at school. The parents agree to have dinner together and all hell breaks loose.
The Good: It's funny and has a message behind it.
The Bad: It could get a little preachy.
Final Thoughts: It's an amazing cast with a really good idea. Give it a shot.
See you at the movies!
