Upcoming Pic Roundup - February
Wednesday, 1 February 2017
Edit
In Jan I accomplished my oh-so-ambitious invention of seeing 1 painting inwards the theaters! La La Land was fantabulous in addition to worth the wait. Here's my gushy review. Of the TV shows I talked nearly final month, Sherlock was such a sorry failure. (I'm non mad, I'm just... disappointed.) Here are my untempered thoughts on that. Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events was an absolute hitting for me though -- everything that I hoped the novel endeavour at an adaptation would practise was done every chip every bit excellently every bit I dreamed. I haven't reviewed it though, in addition to I'm non certain I will. If you're interested to read a review of it from me, allow me know! But simply know that I highly recommend it! I've also been watching Emerald City on NBC. It's non great, but is expert plenty that nosotros haven't quit yet. The hope of a definite halt is definitely what's keeping me in. Anyone else watching this? I'd dearest to listen your thoughts on it!
Feb is dorsum to normal amongst a prissy broad spread of interesting releases -- most of which I'll endure looking out for reviews on. There's no huge must-see, but I'll endure real surprised if nosotros don't become encounter The Lego Batman Movie!
What looks expert to you lot this month?
The Space Between Us
Feb 3rd; PG-13
This one's based on a book, so of shape instantly I'm to a greater extent than interesting inwards reading it than I am watching it... although I practise similar Asa Butterfield, in addition to Britt Robertson isn't bad. The thing is, the most appealing side of this is the space/Mars stuff, but it looks similar he's gonna pass most of his fourth dimension (and thence most of the movie's time) on Earth. And so it's inwards serious danger of existence simply roughly other fish-out-of-water rom-com, which would endure a waste matter of the premise inwards my opinion.
The Lego Batman Movie
Feb 10th; PG
Will Arnett's Batman gets his real ain real well-deserved movie! There's been so many trailers that we've likely seen most of the painting already, in addition to it's unlikely this 1 volition accept the same real-world connectedness every bit The Lego Movie did. But gosh, so far I've seen naught that is brusk of hilarious amongst this film's advertising, in addition to it seems to gear upwardly for a expert amount of depth too. So fifty-fifty if it's non every bit especial every bit The Lego Movie, I'm excited for a fun fourth dimension at the theatre amongst the best Batman ever!
A United Kingdom
Feb 10th; PG-13
Looks similar a decent romance, in addition to likely a political drama too. Not at all my favorite genres, but I thought it was worth mentioning. There's been a lot of movies lately amongst themes focused on racism, so if this 1 wants to stand upwardly out it would ask to endure a worthwhile story, (and peradventure accept something novel to country on the dependent area too) in addition to of that, it's difficult to tell from the trailer. It is done yesteryear the manager of Belle though, in addition to that's a promising sign.
The Great Wall
Feb 17th; PG-13
Dear Matt Damon -- What are you lot doing, buddy? You were inwards The Martian, in addition to instantly this? Okay, every bit far every bit action-centered low-cal fantasy films go, this 1 looks similar it could endure fun, in addition to volition likely endure at to the lowest degree decently entertaining from the its visual alone. As far every bit all that goes. I don't larn Matt Damon inwards this, though. What's the appeal -- for him in addition to for us? There's so many other actors that could accept played the part, likely practise ameliorate on the activity side, in addition to non waste matter their acting chops... but hey, maybe I'm missing something. Or... maybe not.
A Cure for Wellness
Feb 17th; R
If it weren't for the too-hard-for-me rating this might've been the most interesting painting of the month. Dane DeHaan in addition to Jason Isaacs are typically great, the plot is intriguingly crazy in addition to mysterious, in addition to it is visually both creepy in addition to spectacular. If it turns out every bit expert every bit it looks, I'll expect forwards to an chance to encounter it. However I'm non counting on it -- it could real good endure 1 of those films that edits together a memorable trailer out of a lot of good-looking nonsense.
Collide
Feb 24th; PG-13
Nicholas Hoult. Felicity Jones. Action flick. I mean, fifty-fifty if it is otherwise the worst painting on the confront of the public it's however gotta endure worth watching simply for that, right? Also Ben Kingsley in addition to Anthony Hopkins support. The appeal of the cast makes the whatsoever lawsuit of the movies character pretty much obsolete -- I'm gonna desire to spotter this no affair what. It doesn't expect similar it has the most master plot or ideas, but I seriously incertitude it'll endure the worst painting always either. In fact, it looks quite fun in addition to action-packed!
Legion
FX starting Feb 8th
Some crazy materials is nearly to become down. This novel Marvel TV serial stars Dan Stevens every bit the X-Man Legion, and... the trailers don't brand whatsoever feel in addition to hope all kinds of crazy-cool mind-bending. I only know the basics nearly this character, but it wouldn't brand a departure if I knew naught at all. It's Marvel. It's Dan Stevens. It looks similar this. What else practise you lot ask to know? Oh, Aubrey Plaza is inwards it also -- that's simply icing. Definitely excited for this!
