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!
