Coming Soon 4/20/12

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
