It's the second week of March so what do we have coming to our theatres Thursday the 14th?
A very well rounded batch of releases this week! We have an action, a horror, a sci-fi thriller, a comedy, a rom-com, and a drama to carry us through to next week, the pick of the litter for us obviously being The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. Jim Carey, Olivia Wilde, Alan Arkin, Steve Buscemi and Steve Carell, just wow, what a cast. The movie has already got great scores internationally, and from looking at the trailer it looks like a winner for sure.
A Late Quartet
Also known as Performance, the movie shows the story of a renown string Quartet as it struggles with it's oldest member retiring due to Parkinson disease. The group finds a growing resentment rising to the surface, as the group is almost torn apart despite their 25 years of success. The movie is said to be slow at times, but hey what do you expect with content like this. Nonetheless the performance are fantastic and the film itself is great for anyone with an appreciation for Classical Music.
Director: Yaron Zilberman
Cast: Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Christopher Walken, Catherine Keener
Dark Skies
"From the makers of Paranormal Activity and Insidious"
If you liked either of those films go check it out, if not then read up on this one first as it still may work for you...
A small suburban family is rocked by a series of increasingly disturbing supernatural events, and learns that a dark and terrible force is after them.
The reviews are average, but it's an old school slow building horror movie, that delivers on the frights after making you care for the characters. Our hopes aren't too high but we will definitely be taking a look at this one.
Director: Scott Stewart
Cast: Keri Russell, Jake Brennan, Josh Hamilton
Goddess
"Elspeth Dickens dreams of finding her "voice" despite being stuck in an isolated farmhouse with her two toddlers. A web-cam becomes her pathway to fame and fortune, but at a price."
Are you a mum? Are you Australian? Do you read Womans Day? You'll love this movie. B-grade celebs acting in a small budget, Australian produced story of a house mum finding fame.... No offence meant to anyone of course, but we're not lining up to see this one.
Director: Mark Lamprell
Cast: Laura Michelle Kelly, Ronan Keating, Magda Szubanski
Mama
A couple are tasked with caring for their two nieces, after they were left alone in the forest for 5 years, but just how alone were they?
Mama has already been released internationally and while it's received a moderate critical success, the viewer reports are much higher. The film is said to have a very original vision and a fantastic performing cast. The build up and hype online for this movie has been staggering, and Done Did It will have our own review up for this shortly.
Director: Andres Muschietti
Cast: Jessica Chastain, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Megan Charpentier
Parker
Frenzied editing, Brutal fight scenes, Crazy Shoot-outs, cheap action. Sound familiar? Of course it does it sounds just like every other Jason Statham action movie, but that's not necessarily a bad thing... as all of us here absolutely love those movies, Transporter, Crank, you name it!
Jason Statham plays a veteran thief with a personal code to not steal from the poor, who is double crossed on a job. Forming an unlikely alliance with a woman on the inside, Parker plans to steal the score of the crews last job for revenge. It's probably worth watching this at the movies for the huge action scenes, so typical of a Statham movie.
Director: Taylor Hackford
Cast: Jason Statham, Jennifer Lopez, Michael Chiklis
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone
BOOYAH! We've been looking forward to this one for such a long time now, and we will be getting in to see this as soon as possible! Veteran Stage Magicians Burt Wonderstone and his stage partner Anton Marvelton are at risk of losing their spotlight when an up and coming street magician Steve Gray makes their show stale. Burt and Anton must save their show, save their friendship, and remember what made them love magic in the first place.
Director: Don Scardino
Cast: Steve Buscemi, Steve Carell, Jim Carey
