What Happened to What to See?

What Happened to What to See?

Just a quick note: at times I’m still trying to figure out both what this site is, and what you guys like about the site. My what to see articles every Friday have pretty much gotten the worst amount of traffic (although they would occasionally spark some interesting and/or frustrating discussion). They take me quite a bit of time to do, and there are other sites that do it better. Indeed the information I use comes from Fandango anyway. And most people probably use an app on their phone to find out what’s playing and what they want to see about five minutes before they do.

So for at least…

Re-run — What To See This Weekend

Re-run — What To See This Weekend

Can you believe there’s not a single new film I feel like is worth mentioning this week? I guess I chose a good week to take off of podcasting (and don’t worry, we’ll be back next week with some special guests to talk about Noah).

Still In Theaters

Captain America: The Winter Soldier — PG-13

I have a very soft spot in my heart for Captain America: The First Avengers. A lot of people complain that it only existed to set up The Avengers but I find that to be quite disingenuous. Yes, the ending leaves you hanging slightly because, duh, it is certainly a lead in to The Avengers. But it is so…

Transcend the Weekend — What To See

Transcend the Weekend — What To See

There’s not a lot going on this weekend, but there is one that looks mildly entertaining, and one that I’m not even going to give the time of day. I’m not even going to tell you what the name of it is becuase it looks so bad.

Johnny Depp is looking to digitize you in your seat this weekend as he attempts to transcend his humanity.

New This Weekend

Transcendence — PG-13

I thought this looked like a really good sci-fi thriller — not that the premise hasn’t been done before, but I was really looking forward to it with some enthusiasm. That enthusiasm has been somewhat tempered by the…

Fly to The Theater — What to See This Weekend

Fly to The Theater — What to See This Weekend

Not actually a lot of new stuff in the theater this weekend, but there’s one possible new film you might want to check out, and one I’m certainly not interested in. You may or may not be.

New This Weekend

Rio 2 — G

I couldn’t imagine why anyone was interested in this film or why it was even being made. And then I actually took the time to watch the first one and now I get it. I liked Rio quite a lot. It was fun, funny, heartfelt, catchy, and generally just a lot of fun. Eisenberg and Hathaway nailed the vocal performances as well. I was duly impressed.

So I’m quite looking forward to…

There’s Only One God Ma’am — What To See This Weekend

There’s Only One God Ma’am — What To See This Weekend

I’m pretty confident in saying that this is going to be a really good weekend at the cinema. Why? Because Captain America: The Winter Soldier is out this weekend. This is the first of two Marvel films this year and I’ve certainly been looking forward to this one with great anticipation.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier — PG-13

I have a very soft spot in my heart for Captain America: The First Avengers. A lot of people complain that it only existed to set up The Avengers but I find that to be quite disingenous. Yes, the ending leaves you hanging slightly because, duh, it is certainly a…

The Rains Came Down and the Floods Came Up — What To See This Weekend

The Rains Came Down and the Floods Came Up — What To See This Weekend

Things might be getting a little wet this weekend for Noah and his family — and a whole lot of animals (which entered two by two), but there “may” be better things to see. Then again, there may not be. I’m just letting my pessimism come through. But surely it can’t be too bad, right? A whole lot of atheists making a film about a story they do not believe happened and from a sacred text they do not revere. What could possibly go wrong?

New This Weekend

Noah — PG-13

I’ve been hearing a lot of things about this film both good and bad. Darren Aronofsky has apparently talked about the…

Two roads diverged in the forest, but Animal ate one — What To see This Weekend

Two roads diverged in the forest, but Animal ate one — What To see This Weekend

It’s that time of the week again. It’s time to decide what you want to see in the theaters this weekend. I shall talk about two new films, one of which I am quite certain will be good. The other one, well, we’ll have to see. I kind of want it to be good, but I kind of don’t think it will be any good.

New This Weekend

Muppets Most Wanted — PG

I’ve been spending some time getting caught up in Muppet world. I know I’ve seen various Muppet shows and movies throughout my life, but I really only remember The Muppet Babies on Saturday mornings. So I’ve gone back and watched several movies, and…

Alright Marshmallows, It’s Time! — What To See This Weekend

Alright Marshmallows, It’s Time! — What To See This Weekend

You kickstarted it, you wanted it, you deserve it, and now — provided you live in an area where there is an AMC theater, you’ve got it. The Veronica Mars movie is here, and it looks as good as the series was from what I can tell. And it’s about the only thing new this weekend that’s really worth checking out.

New This Weekend

Veronica Mars — PG-13

If this were playing anywhere near me, and if I was finished watching the series, this would be my film of choice this weekend. Unfortunately neither of those things is true. In order to see this fine looking film, you are going to need an AMC…

Mr. Peabody’s Empire Rises From a Hotel — What to see this weekend

Mr. Peabody’s Empire Rises From a Hotel — What to see this weekend

I know which one of the three new film I would like to watch this weekend. Unfortunately I’m trying to be the “good guy” and acquiesce to the needs and desires of my esteemed MovieByte Podcast co-host. Chad has absolutely no desire to see 300: Rise of an Empire. Of the three I think I would enjoy it the most. Mr. Peabody and Sherman would be my second choice I suppose. But this isn’t all about me (sadly enough).

New This Weekend

300: Rise of an Empire — R

Starring Eva Green looking evil, ludicrously tall evil “god” king, water, ships, and slow motion! To be honest I don’t think the first…

Neeson’s Non-Stop Career — What To See This Weekend

Neeson’s Non-Stop Career — What To See This Weekend

This weekend, someone is apparently stupid enough to try to hijack a plane the Liam Neeson is on. We’ve already established the dude is not to be messed with, and certainly don’t take his daughter. But apparently someone is at it again. I feel like Neeson’s movies are just one big franchise.

New This Weekend

Non-Stop — PG-13

You can always count me in for a little Liam Neeson action. Taken was pretty good, and obviously his performance as Henri Ducard in Batman Begins was top notch. And He’s certainly everyone’s favorite Jedi (I hate you for killing him, George Lucas). And did I mention…
