Alpha and Omega:
It’s a movie about a couple of lost wolves trying to get back to their families. Â It’s a kid’s movie. Â The trailer makes it look… typical. Â I’m sure kids will enjoy it.
Devil:
To understand where M. Night’s career might be headed, go here and watch the video. Â He’s on a downward trend. Â But I like monster movies. Â So from the trailer we see people trapped in an elevator and some sort of thing is stalking them, which sounds really ridiculous when I say it. Â Stalked? Â In an elevator? Â Then again, maybe this will work, maybe it will be good. Â I think I’m going to wait for Netflix unless it gets some seriously awesome reviews.
Easy A:
This movie looks to be hilarious and possibly still have a heart as well. Â The story is about a girl who helps out her gay friend by pretending they have sex so that other guys at school will stop picking on him. Â This turns into her helping a number of other outcast guys with similar problems, earning her a reputation as a slut even though she’s not actually having sex with anyone. Â I’m sure it will all turn out okay, but it’s the ride (pardon the pun) that will make this worth watching. Â If I can find time and a few extra dollars, I’ll be off to see this at the theater.
The Town:
The only movie opening this week that I’ve already seen, The Town is the latest effort from Ben Affleck. Â I’ve always thought he was a decent actor (especially when given good material), and as director of Gone Baby Gone he did admirably. Â So I was pretty excited to see The Town, and it didn’t disappoint. Â It was well directed, well acted, and well written. Â The heist scenes were exciting, and the whole thing worked. Â The only drawback to the film at all is the similarity it holds to the 1995 movie Heat. Â But it has been 15 years since the release of Heat, so I don’t mind so much that The Town plays out almost like a remake. Â Anyway, this movie is totally worth seeing. Â Your $10 won’t be wasted here.
