January and February haven't been very good for movies. And looking at what is scheduled for March, I really don't know what to tell you. It's another bad month of movies. Not that they all will be bad, but it's clear to me the first quarter of the year is not that impressive. But let's look at some of the gems in the proverbial wasteland.
1) Silent House: This movie looks really scary. It's an old fashioned haunted house story but what makes this movie unique is that it's filmed completely in a single take. That means it's a real experience. One you'd feel if this were happening to you. That's an ingenious way to suck an audience into a movie. I'm interested to see how well it works. It could start a trend.
2) Friends With Kids: Instead of movies like "Friends With Benefits" asking the question if friends can become casual lovers, this movie asks the question what effect having children has on friendships with others. It's a smart comedy and it might be worth watching.
3) The FP: I admit. This is only for me. This is a movie with such a goofy premise that it just has to be fun. It's a movie about a distopian future where rival gangs throw down in "dance-dance revolution". Yes. They fight in video game dancing competitions. Oh sorry. "beat-beat revelations" I guess they were too cheap to get the rights to DDR. And it's the directors who did Paranormal Activity. This has fun written all over it.
See you at the movies
