It's a new week of movies. Are there any really good ones coming out? Let's see.
THE LUCKY ONE: A soldier serving in Iraq comes home to find a woman in a picture he never met.
The Good: It's a cutsy romance movie oozing with sap.
The Bad: It's starring that one guy from High School Musical and the mom from Little Fockers.
Final Thoughts: Romance movies are generally not my thing and with this weak cast I don't see this being all that great.
THINK LIKE A MAN: Steve Harvey writes a book on advising women on how men play them. So, men read the book and use that information against women.
The Good: The best thing is that I won't ever see it.
The Bad: Where do I begin? The open misogyny? Women treated once again as sexual playthings to be minipulated? The way women flock to cheap guru knockoffs? How a man has to spell out to sheeplike women how men play them? I could go on but this is supposed to be brief.
Final Thoughts: Yes, I am a man but somehow I still have morality and respect for women. So, there's nothing for me here. Just a lot of annoying guys looking for sex and women who don't notice. Game over man. Game over.
CHIMPANZEE: The story of a young chimp who loses his mom and is adopted by another chimp.
The Good: It's a heartwrenching tearjerker of a movie with a cute as all hell baby chimp.
The Bad: Nothing. It's a harmless documentary. Don't expect much dialogue.
Final Thoughts: I'd go see it. Expect to cry.
MARLEY: A documentary about the life and music of Bob Marley
The Good: Bob Marley was a very influential musician and the biggest name in Jamaican and raggae music. Who doesn't want to know more about him?
The Bad: Can't imagine much wrong with it. If you're a fan, it gives you want you want.
Final Thoughts: Check it out if you love Bob Marley. Or even if you don't know who he was.
THE MOTH DIARIES: A woman haunted by her father's suicide enrolls in a boarding school and she suspects one of the new girls might be a vampire once other students start dieing.
The Good: It's a story about obsession, death, and insanity.
The Bad: If we are meant to take any of this seriously, then God help us all.
Final Thoughts: I just feel this movie takes itself too seriously. It wants to make this whole story about lesbian sex and obsession. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out there aren't any vampires.
See you at the movies
