New Movie Fridays! 1-10-14

January 9, 2014


Hello fellow movie lovers, If you are like me, you look forward to Fridays, because every Friday new movies come to theaters near you. This post will take a look at a few notable ones I'm thinking about seeing. Usually when its a major release like a Man of Steel, or A Dark Knight. I will be one of those people in line at 11:30pm on a Thursday. Sorry to say, well at least not for me anyway, there is nothing of that magnitude to go see this week, but still there are a couple worth seeing.

First up, "The Legend of Hercules" This is the origin story of the son of Zeus, before he became a legend.  Now despite all the bad reviews, and these horrible trailers. I think this might be worth seeing because this is a reboot of the Hercules films. As of late I have become a huge fan of reboots, Batman, spider man, and superman reboots have been awesome. Not to say that this film will be on that level but, worth seeing none the less.

Our next film is "Lone Survivor" starring Mark Wahlberg. This is the story of a Navy Seal Team who are ordered to bring down a Taliban leader, based on the true story of "Operation Red Wings" in 2005. Things get crazy and these seals can only count on each other to survive when they are ambushed by Afghan forces.  There are guns and explosions, and Marky Mark probably takes off his shirt a few times, so both sexes will be pleased. 

The Tony award and Pulitzer Prize winning Broadway play "August: Osage County" comes to the big screen with a touch of Hollywood. Starring Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, the dark comedy is about a dysfunctional family that is forced back to their Oklahoma home due to a family crisis. Secrets are revealed as tensions grow, and for the record anything with Meryl Streep in it is worth seeing. 

There are plenty of great films in theaters right now, but these are my top three to be released this weekend. Check them out, I will and I might even post an update on all three. If you get a chance to see any of these films, please post a comment and let us know how you liked it, or if you hated it, either way, we look forward to your comments. Till next weekend, happy movie going! Trailers to all three films are at the bottom.
