Takers - Yes, I know. This movie looks horrible. However, for reasons I am unable to explain, this is one I really want to see, even though I know I'm not going to like it.

Avatar (3D re-release) - Apparently the studio felt as if the highest grossing film of all time needed to make more money, so they decided to release it again in 3D. While I was not a fan of this film, I heard the 3D was incredible, and I do regret not taking that opportunity originally. Now I get a second chance.

Mesrine: Killer Instinct (limited) - This is the first I've heard of this French crime film. That said, the trailer was quite impressive, and it seems to feature a fantastic performance by Vincent Cassel, someone I'm expecting to hear quite a bit from come awards season for his role in Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan.

Centurion - This action film about Roman soldiers is getting rather negative reviews so far, and I was not too impressed by the trailer. It does, however, feature Michael Fassbender, who is probably a few years away from being an A-list action star if his career keeps going the way it has been of late. That's not enough to get me to see this one, though.

So, what do you want to see this week?
Nothing really sparks my interest this week. I've already seen Avatar in 3D and everything else seems pretty "meh" overall.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in The Last Exorcism, but I'm definitely excited about Get Low coming to Lubbock.
ReplyDeleteSo you rate them before watching them? I made the mistake of watching the last Exorcism and it definitely goes into the "terrible, but the studio thinks they can make a quick buck off of it" category. Not 4/5 material IMO.
ReplyDeleteThis works the same as my DVD release section, where I rate them based on my anticipation rather than a viewing of the film. I started the "What I've Been Watching" segment in order to give my readers a taste of how I feel about movies I've been watching, and I have a more detailed explanation of those films in that column.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've heard, the material (for The Last Exorcism) isn't very original, it's just well executed. Plus, I like horror films, so that's the reasoning behind the high anticipation rating. That could obviously change once I get a chance to see it myself, of course.
