Upcoming Film Roundup - February
Thursday, 1 February 2018
Edit
In Jan I saw The Greatest Showman, in addition to I've but realized that I never wrote a review for it! Oops. I convey a perfect tape of reviewing all movies I've seen inward theaters since I started reviewing movies, hence I definitely can't permit that 1 autumn through the cracks. Sadly, nosotros didn't convey fourth dimension for The Death Cure, hence that's been pushed into this month's agenda -- travel yesteryear priority.
Feb has lots to verbalize most -- skillful in addition to bad -- hence let's larn to it! What looks skillful to you lot this month?
Peter Rabbit
Feb 9th; PG
Domhnall. Sweetie. What are you lot doing? Good grief this looks bad. At to the lowest degree all Daisy Ridley in addition to Margot Robbie had to hold out convinced of was to lend their voices -- in addition to I don't intend James Corden needed convincing. But how inward the globe did they larn Domhnall Gleeson to concord to practise the live-action portion? They must convey paid him a ton. He does await just similar Mr. McGregor, hence peradventure they thought it was worth it. Even with this cast, I'll hold out steering clear. Far, far clear.
The 15:17 to Paris
Feb 9th: PG-13
Okay. First of all, this is an awesome truthful story. Second of all, it's a really neat thought to cast the existent guys every bit themselves. But -- I even hence convey that reservation on the artistic side that truthful stories rarely brand skillful movies due to un-cinematic structure. Clint Eastwood is at the helm, in addition to it's clear that a lot of endeavor was pose into the movie, hence who knows, peradventure this volition hold out the adjacent Apollo 13, or, something closed to it anyway. I'm definitely interested but because the assail on the develop is supposed to play out just how it did inward existent life, hence that would hold out cool to see. At whatever rate, reservations or no, this is 1 to travel along an middle on.
The Female Brain
Feb 9th; NR
This pic doesn't await specially good, but I can, occasionally, convey unproblematic tastes, in addition to this has Toby Kebbell inward it, hence I'm on board.... for whenever its streaming on Amazon or what convey you. The differences inward the ways manful mortal in addition to woman mortal brains travel is groovy provender for comedy, hence we'll encounter if this pic mined the truth inward that area, or if they but used tired former stereotypes in addition to worked off the travel yesteryear of their head. That's sadly the to a greater extent than probable option.
Basmati Blues

All I'd heard most this pic was that it was a Brie Larson celluloid in addition to it was terrible. And I thought that was pretty foreign because how could Brie Larson hold out inward a pic in addition to non arrive at to the lowest degree decent yesteryear her presence? Then I watched the trailer, in addition to it all made sense. Larson in all probability does heighten it, but it really looks THAT bad. It's American trying to experience Bollywood yesteryear making it a musical romance, but it all feels extremely inexpensive in addition to weird. I may convey to spotter it streaming but to confirm. It really doesn't brand sense.
Black Panther
Feb 16th; PG-13
This is the large 1 of the calendar month I guess, but to me it could become either way. The trailer is bursting with agency in addition to energy, hence if that translates to the actual pic it should hold out on those points lonely a solid flick. And it's Marvel, hence you lot know they convey their winning formula for crowd-pleasing movies. But I'm personally getting tired of the formula, in addition to if all the pic is, is cool in addition to fashionable activity played over a fourmula plot, in addition to then I powerfulness non hold out disappointed, but I won't hold out impressed either. And I desire to hold out impressed. Also, early on reviews are doing a lot of praising of what the pic "has to say" and, every bit you lot may know from my view on Civil War, I loathe it when movies preach at you. Preaching does non equal plot or grapheme development. Still, there's a jeopardy here, with a groovy cast in addition to a Pb grapheme I already like, hence let's become -- print me if you lot can!
Early Man
Feb 16th; PG
I'm trying to figure out if I'm required to encounter this, because on 1 hand, I've fallen inward honey with stop-motion in addition to convey been trying to spotter all stop-motion movies I tin find. On the other manus this lumpy clay agency of making the dolls is my to the lowest degree favorite. And Chicken Run practically traumatized me every bit a kid. But then, I similar the comedy style, in addition to it has a skillful cast (Tom Hiddleston, Eddie Redmayne!) in addition to a neat plot. The groovy matter most stop-motion is that it's hence difficult to do, people don't really bother to brand the pic unless it's a even they attention about. So... yeah. I gauge I am pretty much required to spotter it sometime... but non only that -- I intend I desire to!
The Party
Feb 16th: R
I encounter Cillian Murphy, in addition to I'm sold. Simple. Beyond that, this 1 has to a greater extent than potential than the 1 I'll in all probability spotter only because Toby Kebbell is inward it -- this 1 looks truly funny in addition to truly dramatic (though it may even hence evidence non to hold out my loving cup of tea) in addition to I really, really, similar that it's inward dark in addition to white. Like the appeal grade for the B&W is but nether Cillain Murphy. And too him there's quite a few familiar in addition to talented faces. Good praise alongside the critics, which is a skillful sign too. I would similar to RSVP every bit "coming."
The Boy Downstairs
Feb 16th; PG-13
Classic -- in addition to I hateful CLASSIC indie rom-com-dram. It has all the earmarks. The Pb is fifty-fifty a writer. I'd spotter it. That's all.
Annihilation
Feb 23rd; R
Well, I don't attention for Natalie Portman, but other than her existence the lead, this pic has zero inward it that isn't interesting to me. It makes me intend of Arrival, except with horror in addition to fantasy-feeling scifi added in. Based on a book, hence straightaway I'm gonna convey to banking concern stand upward for that out in addition to encounter if it's worth a read. I'm ever excited to encounter a big-budged, full-fledged scifi celluloid coming circular the bend, in addition to this 1 looks hence cool that the Natalie Portman matter isn't fifty-fifty leaving a dent. Plus there's Oscar Isaac, fifty-fifty if he is in all probability inward a coma most of the film, hence that helps a lot. But yeah, I am hither for the scifi!
Game Night
Feb 23rd; R
This trailer is on the verge of existence funny. On the verge. It's hence closed that I desire to spotter the pic to encounter if it really succeeds there. I don't intend Rachel McAdams is capable of doing pure comedy. Heck, I don't intend Jason Bateman is capable of pure comedy, but he at to the lowest degree has loads to a greater extent than experience. If they pose plenty drama inward the mix it powerfulness work, but people similar Bill Murray are legends for a reason. I'm non sure most Kyle Chandler, either. Actually, the funniest mortal inward this trailer is the dude from USS Callister in addition to he didn't fifty-fifty country anything. (I'm sure he has a bigger business office inward the movie.) The premise is really good, in addition to if they become where they seem to desire to, making a Clue-type movie, it could hold out good. But, I don't intend they're going to succeed. They don't appear to... convey all the pieces.
Mute
Feb 23rd; NR
Duncan Jones' novel master copy celluloid is a Netflix release, in addition to I but forgot most all of the higher upward movies. I desire to encounter this hence much in addition to I won't fifty-fifty convey to travel out my home to practise it! The trailer is pretty vague in addition to confusing, but I only watched it for this postal service anyway -- I would would spotter anything yesteryear Duncan Jones without a trailer. Moon is 1 of my all-time favorite scifi movies, in addition to Source Code is also groovy film. Warcraft was pretty bad, but hey, that 1 wasn't original, so... This 1 stars Alexander Skarsgård (of the Skarsgård acting family) every bit a mute guy. And Paul Rudd is inward it. The scifi globe looks awesome too, but fifty-fifty without all that I'd even hence hold out here. Because Duncan Jones.
Altered Carbon
Feb 2nd; Netflix
Don't larn this in addition to the higher upward mixed upward -- the trailer covers are laughably similar! If Mute doesn't count every bit scifi noir, in addition to then this 1 sure enough does. Blade Runner vibes everywhere. This one's a Netflix TV series, which has it's ain pros in addition to cons. And if I base of operations it entirely on the trailer I powerfulness non similar this 1 every bit much fifty-fifty with noir mystery element, but we'll see. Oh yes, nosotros volition see. I straightaway officially declare Feb to hold out a Month of Science Fiction. I am a real happy camper correct now. Even if all the scifi releases disappoint, correct now, the anticipation is great.
Feb has lots to verbalize most -- skillful in addition to bad -- hence let's larn to it! What looks skillful to you lot this month?
