Here are the movies that were previewed before the feature tonight:
- The Wedding Ringer – A cool dude makes his living standing in as best man for guys who don’t have a friend to do it for them. He keeps it professional, that is until he meets the loser who touches his heart. Failure to Launch meets The Wedding Singer. Pass.
- Furious 7 – Vin Diesel tries to beat this particular dead horse just one more time, complete with Jason Statham playing Jason Statham. Pass.
- Insurgent – A sequel to a movie that I didn’t see, but if a plucky teenage insurgency can work for Jennifer Lawrence, why not try it again? Girlie Bear might like this one.
- Danny Collins – A washed-up rocker, who is now on his (n+1)th retirement tour, gets a letter that John Lennon wrote to him 30+ years ago, and decides to write another song or three. While he’s at it, he tries to reconnect with his long-lost son and try to
seducewin the heart of the manager of his hotel. I’m sure there’s a final act of forgiveness brought on by the heart-felt music that gushes out of his newly found connection to the real world. Pass. - Focus – Will Smith plays a con-man who takes on an apprentice, who happens to be a curvaceous woman. Together, they seem to get themselves into a bit of a pickle by messing with those with whom one should not mess, but I’m sure everything works itself out in the end, and they ride off into the sunset together. Pass.
- Jupiter Ascending – The Wachowski Brothers make their homage to 1980’s Flash Gordon, in that a heretofore unknown universal empire is going to destroy the world, but a plucky Earthling and her allies do their best to thwart it. I didn’t hear any Freddie Mercury vocals in the preview, but this might be watchable. The effects and cinematography look beautiful. I might give this one a matinee. One word to the Wachowski’s, though: I know at least 75% of your plot from the trailer. That other 25% better be awesome, or I’m going to be disappointed.
