What to see: Weekend of March 1, 2013

Hey, there’s actually something I want to see this weekend! Jack the Giant Slayer and I’m going to be really disappointed if it’s not any good! Don’t disappoint me Singer! Because really, there’s not much else in the box office at the moment.

New This Weekend

21 and Over - R
So, I’ve been seeing the preview for this around — and I would love to have those few minutes of my life back. Seriously, this looks so bad I don’t know how anyone could want to see this. Please don’t go see it.

Straight-A college student Jeff Chang has always done what he was supposed to do. But when his two…

What to see: Weekend of Feb 22, 2013

Let’s see if we can find something — anything for you guys to watch. Quite frankly, there are no new releases I’m interested in this week. This is just not a good week for movie releases.

New This Weekend

Dark Skies - PG-13
Meh.

From the producers of Paranormal Activity, Insidious, and Sinister comes Dark Skies: a supernatural thriller that follows a young family living in the suburbs. As husband and wife Daniel and Lacey Barret witness an escalating series of disturbing events involving their family, their safe and peaceful home quickly unravels. When it becomes clear that the…

This is the Box Office Doldrums people. There’s not a lot to see, and the one film I thought might be worth seeing is total garbage. Let’s see if we can figure out something for you to see this weekend.

New in Theaters

Beautiful Creatures - PG-13
I could see this one going either way. I don’t know when I will get a chance to watch it, but I will try to do so before next weekend so I can give a report.

A supernatural love story set in the South which tells the tale of two star-crossed lovers: Ethan, a young man longing to escape his small town, and Lena, a mysterious new girl.…

The offerings at the box office this time of year may be a bit tepid, but we’re still here to tell you what might possibly be interesting to you. So here’s your guide to the box office this weekend. Buckle up though, with all the (lack of) excitement here at this weekend’s box office, your (not) going to need to hang on to your socks!!!!!1!!!!!

New This Weekend

Identity Thief - R
This actually looks like it might be fun. I don’t know for sure, it could be so over the top as to cross the line from fun to tedious. Still, I don’t expect it to be any more than a three star film at…

The weekend is here again, there’s new films in theater, there’s old films in theater, there’s bad films in the theater, there’s decent films in the theater. Let’s explore shall we?

New This Weekend

Bullet to the Head - R
I can’t find a synopsis longer than a slightly longer than short sentence. That should tell you something:

After watching their respective partners die, a New Orleans hitman and a Washington D.C. detective form an alliance in order to bring down their common enemy.

That’s it. I’m not a fan of Stallone films so I am probably the wrong guy to ask, but this film…

We’re back at it again. The weekend is here and it’s a great time to get out and see a film or two before the real world set in again on Monday. So what’s out there for you to see? Let’s find out shall we?

New Films

Hansel and Gretel (R)
I’ll be seeing this film this weekend, but you should definitely be warned that it will be bloody and violent. To demonstrate such, I posted the red band trailer not too long ago so you could be aware. But in many ways it looks like it might be fun. But I also think there’s an equal chance it will be awful. I’m leaning toward fun, Joe is leaning toward…

Whatever shall we see this weekend? Is there anything playing in those crazy theaters? Let’s find out shall we?

Remember that this is not an exhaustive list, I list new films, then only films I feel are worthy of mentioning, or if it’s exceptionally bad, warning you about.

New Films

Broken City (R)
I’m going to be seeing this film this weekend so that we can talk about it on the upcoming Episode 28 of The MovieByte Podcast. It’s R rated so you certainly won’t want to take the kiddos.

Over on Rotten Tomatoes, the Tomatometer shows shows that the critics are really hating on the…

Here we are. Another week has come and gone and you may want to head to the cinema this weekend to see something. But you might be wondering what that something might be. That’s why we’re here to help.

New Films

Gangster Squad (R)
This film looks pretty good and I will be seeing it tomorrow. On Monday I posted six teaser clips from this upcoming film which you can find here. And here are the trailers on Apple Trailers site.

Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns,…

Please do not see this film. DO NOT!

A Dark Truth
At this time, I know pretty much nothing about this film.

Still In Theaters

The Impossible
We’ll be talking about this film in two weeks on the upcoming Episode 27 of The MovieByte Podcast. I am at least somewhat interested in this film. You should see it before we talk about it on the podcast to avoid spoilers.

Promised Land
We will also be talking about this one on an upcoming episode of the Podcast, but I have not…

Here’s your weekly guide to what’s in theaters that you may want to see. There’s a lot of good stuff to choose from, you may need to hit the theater more than once this weekend. And what better time than the Christmas/New Year holiday? Get ready, here we go.

New Films

Promised Land
There is something interesting about this film. I love a good drama, although I am concerned about what propaganda may be in this film. But I will certainly give it a chance. I’m not sure when I personally will get to see it, but you can be sure I will.

Les Misérables
Get yourself to the theater and see…
