Some upcoming movies and my initial impressions...
1. Valentine`s Day
This thing looks like a train wreck waiting to happen. I have not seen every film ever made, but I`ve seen a lot. And I have never experienced a movie that has this many stars that actually lives up to the talent of its cast. How can this film have any character development whatsoever with a cast of a thousand A and B list actors? I think that this is a not-so-thinly veiled attempt by Hollywood to cash in on the holiday weekend and the swarm of couples out on date night. I won`t be seeing it in the theater, and unless I hear some rave reviews, I won`t go for it on video either.
2. Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
I`m very excited about this movie. It looks like a great blend of adventure, fun, and fantasy. My daughter (11) has read the first two books and absolutely loved them. I will without a doubt be seeing this film over the weekend.
3. The Wolfman
The preview looks great. I love a great horror/monster flick, and the throwback style of this film looks really interesting. I`m also excited to see Anthony Hopkins play crazy again (judging from the preview). I hope to see this over the weekend, but I`m worried that Percy Jackson will be the only film I`ll have a chance to see.
What movie are you most excited about this weekend? Let me know...
