Oh the big one is here! There are of course some other movies coming out that are not The Hobbit and I suppose I should take a look at them. Come on people! Are you really interested in anything other than The Hobbit this week? Okay, here we go.
1) THE HOBBIT: The strange encounter of a wizard and a hobbit that led to a grand adventure.
The Good: It's The Hobbit. It's Peter Jackson. Andy Serkis is back as Gollum. What's not to like?
The Bad: It's a 3 hour movie and covers roughly the first 100 pages of the book.
Final Thoughts: I'm REALLY excited to see this movie. But I totally understand when people say it is boring as hell. It's a really long movie and it's going to be lacking in action compared to the next two Hobbit movies.
2) ANY DAY NOW: The true story of how in the 1970s a gay couple try to adopt an orphaned child with down syndrome.
The Good: It's heartfelt, it has a message that pertains to today, and I'm sure incredibly well done.
The Bad: It's coming out the same day as The Hobbit.
Final Thoughts: It's an Oscar grabber. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but just the fact that it's coming out the same day as The Hobbit will hurt it's box office sales. But give this one a watch. It might surprise you.
3) SAVE THE DATE: A woman about to get married breaks up with her boyfriend and finds herself in a hot rebound romance. She must decide if it's better to be single or take a chance at love.
The Good: It's probably not going to be in most theaters.
The Bad: I hate what this movie represents.
Final Thoughts: This is a movie that wants to be a modern romance but doesn't understand what that means. It assumes women stay single because it's fun and "safe"; whatever that means. And you know how this ends. She "takes a chance at love." Whatever that means. So if being single is fun and safe, doesn't that mean marriage is boring and 'unsafe'? Ask anyone who is married if their life is boring and 'unsafe'. I plan to stay away from this one.
See you at the movies
