Coming Soon: 2/17/12

Happy Valentines Day and also Happy President's Day!  Are you going to take that special someone to a romantic movie this week?  How about a fun three day weekend?  Well, here's what's playing this weekend.

1) Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengance: Johnny Blaze is back as the Ghost Rider to save a boy from the Devil.

The Good: First comic book movie of the year.

The Bad: It's a sequel to a bad movie, directed by the guy who did Gamer and Jonah Hex, and if that wasn't bad enough, Ghost Rider pees fire.

Final Thoughts: bad actors, bad directing, and bad story.  The movie trifecta from hell.

2) The Secret World of Arrietty: little people live in secret with humans.  And one day a human befriends one of them and could put the little people in danger.

The Good: The animation looks wonderful and a very charming story.

The Bad: It's The Borrowers.  I hope you liked the 1998 movie.

Final Thoughts: This is going to be the best movie out this week.  It's about as good as japanese animation can get these days.  Must.  Watch!

3) Thin Ice: A con man gets himself in trouble when he tries to con an old farmer and a local blacksmith tries to catch the con man.

The Good: a well written story with a great emphasis on character.

The Bad: Ever watch Fargo?  Yeah, that's this movie.

Final Thoughts: Should be good.  Might be a bit on the artistic side and distasteful to some.  Give it a shot.

4) Bullhead: A drugged up cattle farmer makes a deal with a shady meat trader.  Then an investigator is killed and he must face his demons.

The Good: A powerful story full of brutality and violence.

The Bad: It's not a movie for casual movie goers.  You have to be in to it from beginning to end.

Final Thoughts: Don't think this will be in theaters but man it should be.

See you at the movies!
