In Theaters: February 14th, 2014

Four wide releases this week!

About Last Night

Let me give it to you straight.  This has "forgettable" written all over it.  And I have no idea why Michael Ealy is doing a Richard Pryor impression at the bottom of the poster.

This director has done nothing of note, and the writer is one of those new age types that is completely out of touch with everyone in the world except for people who hang out at Coffee shops.  Not Starbucks though - too mainstream.  Don't believe me?  Look at her picture.

this is not a joke

It gets worse.  Her script is based off another script written thirty years ago.  And that script was based on a play written before that!

And then Kevin Hart is involved somehow.  Wasn't he just in a movie like two months ago?  Does anybody remember that movie?  No?  Exactly.  (in reality I do remember Ride Along, and it looked way funnier than this)

In summary this is a movie for black people, directed by a white guy, written by an uber yuppie hipster lady, based on a thirty-year-old movie, that was based on a play written by the same guy who wrote The Untouchables, a famous action/crime drama from the 80's.  Should be a hit!  (lolwut?)

Endless Love

"Say goodbye to Innocence."  A tagline parents can have confidence in when they research the movie their teenagers want to go see.  Except that nobody will want to go see this movie.

Quick side note: when I say a movie looks stupid and it won't make any money (like Vampire Academy last week) I'm not just blowing hot air.  That movie bombed hard.  It made less than five million dollars and opened in seventh place.

In a movie about a young sheltered girl falling in love with a parking valet/car thief with a criminal record the responsible father becomes the bad guy.  How do you like that?  A nice message for our kids.  I think I've said enough about this one.

RoboCop (Wednesday Release)

This one is a bit of a mystery.  Wildcard is the word I've used before.  This writer/director duo is known in Brazil for making solid action movies.  Early reviews are cut right down the middle.  You might like it, you might not.

Something about this movie makes me think I'll like it.  I just don't know.  Read the reviews and decide which ones you think you'll agree with.  Or just go see it.

Winter's Tale

This movie's trailer doesn't do anything but confuse people.  A few things are clear.  Time travel of some sort is involved, Colin Farrell is in it, and some people fall in love.  Other than that it doesn't make sense.  Nobody knows why there is time traveling or what makes it so touching.  However, the idea of time travel in love stories is inspiring to all science fiction nerds who want girlfriends.

One thing has been bugging me.  Not even the poster has chemistry!!  Take a look!  Does she look in love to you?

This movie won't make very much movie because nobody knows what it's about.

      The one.  The only.  Big Shot Critic
