Last week was a bit disappointing. I haven't seen Wreck-it Ralph just yet, but I did see Flight and The Man With the Iron Fists and they just weren't very good. This week sure looks to be different. Let's take a look.
1) SKYFALL: James Bond is back and his loyalty to M and MI6 is threatened as MI6 comes under attack.
The Good: I LOVE James Bond movies!
The Bad: The Daniel Craig Bond feels too much like Jason Bourne rather than James Bond.
Final Thoughts: The story looks awesome, the action looks intense. I will see it. At least once.
2) LINCOLN: The story of the 16th president of the United States and his struggles with trying to end the Civil War and end slavery in the USA. All while keeping the nation together.
The Good: It's an amazing story with an amazing cast. It's hard to imagine this being bad.
The Bad: Daniel Day-Lewis' makeup job looks really distracting.
Final Thoughts: Must see. Period.
3) THE COMEDY: A wealthy, sheltered man who inherits a lot of money finds ways to push the boundaries of good behavior.
The Good: It's a strangely funny but also thought provoking look at human nature.
The Bad: It's a movie meant to provoke certain responses. Usually negative responses.
Final Thoughts: If you can understand why this guy does such things, you might find it very enjoyable.
4) A ROYAL AFFAIR: It's a period drama piece involving a love triangle between a German doctor, The Queen of Denmark, and the King.
The Good: If you like history and seeing people in Elizabethan garb, you'll enjoy it.
The Bad: It's like an episode of Jerry Springer mixed with the politics of the day.
Final Thoughts: Again looks like a great movie if this is your thing.
See you at the movies
