IN THEATER THIS WEEK DECEMBER 23

Merry Christmas folks. 2013 is almost over but it is still around for one last collection of great movies scheduled for theatrical release this week; 7 more movies to be precise.

It’s Christmas day on Wednesday and Hollywood celebrates this festive day with us with 5 awesome movies: 47 Ronin, August Osage County, Grudge Match, The secret Life of Walter Mitty and The Wolf of Wall street.

 

47 Ronin is an action-adventure-fantasy movie that follows the story of a group of samurai on a revenge journey to avenge the death of their master at the hands of Lord Kira who also banished the group. The movie is directed by Carl Erik Rinsch and it stars Keanu Reeves, Rinko Kikuchi, Tadanobu Asano and Hiroyuki Sanada.

2013 AWESOME AND LAME MOVIES

Like every other year, a lot of movies were premiered this year and it’s been a pretty interesting adventure in the movie world. A lot of great and frigging awesome movies you might never get tired of watching because it’s just that great and the list of those movies is almost endless.

Personally, the list for awesome movies this year is quite long and it will be really tasking trying to place a rank on each of these movies. Like trying to decide which is the best between Fast and Furious 6, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Man of Steel, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, Thor: The dark world, Insidious 2, White House down, Hunger games: Catching Fire, Ironman 3, Oblivion, Red 2, Evil dead, The Croods, The Conjuring… See? The list keeps going and a lot of brain search will be needed to be able to successfully put a number to this movie on a list.

THINKING… WHILE I WAIT FOR JANUARY 6

If you are really in the Teen Wolf fandom like I am, then you probably are already starting to lose your mind in a good way. You must agree that it’s been a pretty long hiatus since August 19 (close to 4 months now) and now that the wait is almost over, I am more thrilled  about January 6 than ever. Especially after watching the trailer for 3B released this past week, I had to say “Well done, Jeff. My mind is lost.” That trailer was AWESOME! Teen Wolf is about to go dark; really dark. The consequence of the surrogate sacrifice Scott, Allison and Stiles went through in the 11/12th episodes of the first half of this season is coming to hit them in the face and I see it’s coming in a big way. As Deaton forewarned Scott that it will draw the supernatural like a beacon and there’s going to be like a permanent darkness around their hearts.

HER WALKING ANCHORMAN

On the list for this week is Her, Walking with Dinosaurs, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. (See here for movie plots). 3 great movies to look forward to this week.

Her is scheduled for theatrical release on Wednesday and you should want to see it. It should be good. This movie will answer the question ‘what happens when a lonely writer develops an unlikely relationship with his newly purchased operating system that's designed to meet his every need?’ This movie was chosen as the best film of 2013 at the National Board of Review Awards (more).
