Sorry, not much in the way of wit coming. These introductions can be difficult at times and I have a bunch on my mind lately. But here's what is coming out this week:
1) John Carter: A man is caught up in a Martian war.
The Good: It looks like a good story about the reluctant hero from another planet.
The Bad: The CG effects look really bad and full of action scenes I generally don't like.
Final Thoughts: I'm willing to give this one a shot. I don't have a whole lot of hope for it, but I'm willing to be proven wrong. I might go see it.
2) A Thousand Words: A loudmouth is cursed. He can only speak another 1000 words and then he'll die.
The Good: It's Eddie Murphy doing wacky movies again. He was great in the Nutty Professor.
The Bad: If you don't know how this movie is going to play out, you've clearly not watched many of these. Just watch Liar, Liar, The Nutty Professor, Yes Man, etc.
Final Thoughts: It's a waste of time. It might be funny but I'm guessing a lot of the jokes are just the same tired material used in countless other unsuccessful movies.
3) Silent House: A woman is stuck in a lake house and things get scary.
The Good: It's an experiment in cinematography. A truely scary movie where who knows what will happen.
The Bad: When experimenting with cinematography things could go really wrong, really quickly.
Final Thoughts: If you like stories about creepy houses, I think this one is going to be up there among the best.
4) Friends With Kids: Two friends decide to have a child together but date other people.
The Good: Unlike other comedies coming out this week (Thousand words *cough*) this is a comedy with something to say. It's not just crazy stuff happening for the sake of crazy stuff happening.
The Bad: It's a message that might not hit home with the 18-35 crowd.
Final Thoughts: This is the comedy coming out this week you should be watching.
See you at the movies
