Must Watch:
Prometheus: This is the only movie that is guaranteed to be good. Ridley Scott is a great director and his talent is evident in the movies in American Gangster and Black Hawk Down. The list of talented actors and actresses like Guy Pierce, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace, and Idris Elba is promising as well. Add 130 million dollar budget and a proven, yet interesting premise, and we have a great movie.
Maybe:
Magic Mike: Must watch for couples ONLY. Channing Tatum is slowly
becoming the king of chick flicks, whether he knows it or not: The Vow, Dear John, and Step Up. Add
the talented director, Steven Soderbergh, and we have a good insurance.
The script looks very witty and funny. However, the presence of unproven actors and Matthew McConaughey worries me. The five million dollar budget also scares me too. I truly hope this film succeeds.
That's My Boy: I really want this movie to succeed, but the premise looks B-movie-ish and over exaggerated. I love both the main characters Andy Samberg and Adam Sandler, but there are problems. Andy Samberg is unproven in carrying a movie and Adam Sandler has a streak of bad movies now: Jack and Jill, Grown Ups, and Just Go With It. Add a pair of terrible directors guiding this movie, and this movie is almost destined for failure.
G.I. Joe: Looking for just action and no substance: This is your movie. The action sequences rivals that of established action films like Avatar. However, the quality of the actors besides Bruce Willis still scare me to a degree, but it's an action film-so it doesn't matter.
Avoid Like It The Plague:
Snow White and the Huntsman: The main two actors of the film : Chris Hemsworth and Kristen Stewart make me want to cringe. Chris Hemsworth has not proven to anyone he can act well. By the way, swinging a hammer around is not acting. Also, Kristen Stewart's role in Twilight has convinced me she cannot act. What troubles me the most is that this movie is the director's, Rupert Sanders, first big movie. These three big reasons are enough to make me look elsewhere for a movie. By the way, do NOT get sucked in by Charlize Theron. Her career may be back, but this film will not get her awards.
Madagascar 3: I did not even know there was a second movie let alone a third. The first movie was atrocious and terrible. Please do not watch this movie, and don't be fooled by the advertising: it is not Toy Story 3.
Proceed at your own risk (These are movies that cannot be rated without prior watching)
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer: This can be really good or really bad.
Brave: The premise looks uninteresting and cheesy, but it's Pixar. Their track record is nearly flawless (Cars 1 and 2 made me cringe).
Battlefield America: Another dance movie.....great.
Rock of Ages: Another Broadway hit turned movie.... I really do not know want to think of this.
