Holy crap it has been almost two
months since my last post, so lets bust one out now. If any of you know me, you
know that I am a movie buff. I quote movies, enjoy watching all types and love
to watch some over and over. Typically, I enjoy scary or thriller movies but I
do enjoy comedies, some dramas but most of all the animated movies!
Here is a preview and a list of
movies that are coming out in March that I hope to get a seat in the theater
for – some to drag my babe Angel Hesseltine to as well:
Dead Man Down
Coming out March 8, Dead Man Down
stars Colin Farrell and Noomi Rapace – this is going to be an action packed
movie. Based in New York City,
a crime lord’s best man gets seduced by one of the boss’ victims seeking
vengeance.
Rated ‘R’ for violence, excessive
foul language and a scene of sexuality, I bet it was from more of the violence
and guns that actually gave this film an ‘R’ rating, I’m sure it will be
another faced paced gun shootout movie.
Oz
the Great and Powerful
Also coming out March 8, Oz the Great and Powerful is a PG movie that
should be child friendly. Though I am sure there will be a few scenes that will
be ‘a bit off’ as far as reality goes, I’m sure it will be okay for the little
ones to understand.
Starring Mila Kunis and James Franco as Oz, this movie is about a small-time
magician with more undesired personal ethics who arrives in a magical land and
must decide if he will be a good man or a great one.
The
ABC’s of Death
This is definitely one that Angel
will not see with me, not in theaters, not from Blockbuster, not from Redbox,
and probably never. If I am ever going to get her to watch a scary movie with
me, it wont be about children – which is completely understandable because we
have two children and another on the way. Having her see a movie with a cover
that looks like this one, when she is 7 months prego, probably isn’t the best
thing for her (or me).
Only getting a 5.3 out of a
possible 10 stars in IMDB.com, I cant say this is going to be a great movie –
but it is a scary movie and I will enjoy it none-the-less. Showcasing death in
all of its vicious wonder and brutal beauty; inspired by children's educational
ABC books, the motion picture is comprised of 26 individual chapters, each by a
different director assigned a letter of the alphabet. I cant imagine watching
26 short films with 26 different plots about death would be worthy of my $9.50
movie ticket so I will probably be waiting until this hits Redbox.
The
Croods
This is the movie I have been
waiting for since January after we first saw previews on tv. This movie looks
great, not to mention that I truly enjoy the animated movies (speaking of, we
went to see Rise of the Guardians yesterday with Janet Amado and Xochitl Amado). With big personalities like
Nicolas Cage, Ryan Reynolds and Emma Stone playing some of the character
voices, I’m sure the narrative will be great.
Not the first stab at a
prehistoric comedy flick but it just may be one of the first animated versions,
this comedy adventure that follows the world's first family as they embark on a
journey of a lifetime when the cave that has always shielded them from danger
is destroyed. Traveling across a spectacular landscape, the Croods discover an
incredible new world filled with fantastic creatures -- and their outlook is
changed forever.
Spring
Breakers
This is probably not going to be
the best film ever made but it definitely appeals to a the young adolescent
style of audience. Based around four girls (Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson,
Vanessa Hudgens and Rachel Korine) who want to go on spring break and don’t
have the cash, they develop a plan to rob a store to gain the funds they need
to go on vacation. Little do they know they await a not so pleasant surprise of
the cops pulling them into jail, even worse, a local drug dealer bails them out
and puts them to work with some of his dirty work.
Rated R for strong sexual content,
language, nudity, drug use and violence throughout the film, this one is sure
to bring high school boys to the theater to see these four beauties partying in
their two piece bikinis. I just wonder how dirty they get with James Franco as
the main male character with support of Gucci Mane.
G.I.
Joe: Retaliation
I don’t know about you but I
thought G.I. Joe 1 & 2 were pretty damn good – and I know the ladies liked
them because of the whole fact of Channing Tatum is the star. Females just love
that guy, I think he has a chocolate covered strawberry penis that makes the
women all go crazy over him.
With mentions of the G.I. Joe’s
being framed for crimes against the country, the team is terminated by the
President's order, and the surviving team members face off against Zartan, his
accomplices, and the world leaders he has under his influence. This Joe flick
stars yes, Channing Tatum but also Bruce Willis and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson
should be another box office hit!
The
Place Beyond the Pines
Getting 8 out of 10 stars on
IMDB.com, this film based around a motorcycle stunt rider who turns to robbing
banks as a way to provide for his lover and their newborn child, a decision
that puts him on a collision course with an ambitious rookie cop navigating a
department ruled by a corrupt detective.
Bradley Cooper (who is slowly
becoming one of my favorite actors) stars along side Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendez
and Ray Liotta in this feature film which caught my eye because of motorcycle
stunts and bank robberies. This film wont be my first choice to see in the
theaters but is definitely one I cannot wait for Redbox to release.
