A plethora of movies are soon to be coming out throughout the rest of the month of March. These movies will set the bar for the rest of the year. The bar has not been set particularly high, but some movies will be coming out that may spark some interest. The Raider Revue would like to present what may be the movies for you.
On March 19th several major films will be released: Repo Men, The Runaways, The Bounty Hunter, City Island, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Reporter’s choice: Repo Men and The Bounty Hunter.
Repo Men has quite a duo for the main cast, Jude Law and Forest Whitaker, who always give a good performance. This film tells the morality tale set in the near future where artificial organs can be bought with credit, but if the customer fails to make their payments the organ is taken back in potentially fatal “surgeries”. The film has a lot of potential for both a thrilling and intense movie.
The Bounty Hunter (starring Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston) is a film where bounty hunter, Milo Boyd (Gerard Butler), gets his ideal job when he gets to track down his ex-wife, Nicole Hurly (Jennifer Aniston). The exes continually one-up each other until the story that Nicole was working on, a murder cover up, puts them both on the run. Then dealing with each other becomes the least of their worries as they become number one targets on the murderers list.
On March 26th numerous more movies will be released that may interest movie goers: How To Train Your Dragon, Hot Tub Time Machine, Leaves of Grass, Chloe, Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, and Greenberg. Of this week two movies give some interest towards an entertaining time, How To Train Your Dragon and Hot Tub Time Machine.
How To Train Your Dragon is an animated film by Dreamworks which brought us films such as: Kung Fu Panda and Shrek one through three, so it has potential to be a fine movie. It is a movie about a Viking boy raised in a village that believes they were born to fight dragons. Things turn upside down in his life when he ends up befriending a dragon, follow his story and see how he changes the views of his village. This is a typical childhood type tale, but it should be enjoyable.
Hot Tub Time Machine. What else is there to say about this movie? A bunch of friends get in a hot tub machine and it ends up throwing them into the past where they meet their past selves and get into hilarious situations. This is a movie similar to The Hangover where hilarious things happen in an unlikely situation. So if you like to laugh this should be the movie for you.
The month of March doesn’t hold much promise for blockbuster movies, but it should tied the masses over till some larger things come out like Clash of the Titans in April.
