Here are some of the previews from tonight:
- Mr. Peabody and Sherman – An iconic American cartoon character from the Bullwinkle and Rocky menagerie is brought to life in a feature length film. Yeah, nothing can go wrong here. This may be one I take Boo to see, but I think I can get better entertainment from the DVD box set of the television show. Note – This wasn’t a preview. It was a crummy commercial they made me sit through to get to the previews. Nothing like paying $30 in tickets and drinks to see commercials, huh?
- Million Dollar Arm – A washed up sports agent goes to India to get cricket pitchers (Is that the correct term?) to try out for Major League Baseball. Jerry Maguire meets Bollywood. Pass. I don’t do feel good sports dramas.
- The Wolf of Wall Street – A charismatic stock broker sleezes his way to the top. Looks interesting, and I like Scorsese movies. Probably watch this one as a rental.
- Lone Survivor – True story of a SEAL team that gets decimated in Afghanistan. Definitely going to see this one.
- Her – Joaquin Phoenix plays a schlub who falls in love with his smartphone in a “year after next” timeframe. I hate to break this to the writer and director of this film, but that situation happens every day in the halls of geekdom all over the world. Pass. I don’t do romances, much less human-machine romances.
- The Other Woman – A guuuurrrrlll buddy movie starring Cameron Diaz and Kate Upton’s breasts. Sleezeball businessman cheats on his wife, his mistress, and his other mistress. Together, they conspire to ruin his life, which he so richly deserves, and bond as friends. If I do a review of this one, rest assured that Irish Woman had to call in a huge number of favors to get my carcass into the theater.
- RoboCop – A reboot of the 1980’s action movie. I was going to pass on this one, but after seeing the cast of supporting actors, it might actually be worth a matinee. I may buy that for a dollar, or rather 8 dollars for a ticket.
