Shawn's March Preview and Predictions

Well the unthinkable has definitely happened. I have fallen behind on this blog something fierce. I think right now there are 6 February movies that I still have to see. I did so well in January too. Not to mention the countless other movies I have that are either limited releases or aren't out yet still to watch. So fucking behind...

Hopefully March I manage to stay a lot more on the ball with things. Here's what we have in store for us this month.


March aka This one Could Really Go Either Way


7th

College Road Trip
10,000 BC
The Bank Job


14th

Horton Hears a Who
Doomsday
Funny Games


21st

Shutter
Drillbit Taylor


28th

Stop Loss
Superhero Movie
Run Fatboy Run
21
Possession

Wow aside from that last week there doesn't seem to be a whole lot coming out this month. There are a couple of other movies that I'm choosing not to include at the moment because I'm not sure if they're going to be wide releases or not and therefore I may not even have to see them.

10,000 BC I've seen surprisingly little for to say that it's a giant epic movie from the Independence Day guy. As long as a wooly mammoth fucks at least three things up, I'll be totally satisfied.

I expressed before how unfunny I find Martin Lawrence. Well this year he decided not to let us off easy and has another movie coming out within weeks of his last one. This one looks 100000 times worse even. The trailer for this is so bad I just have to cut people. This one could hit right down at the bottom of the pile for 2008, which isn't easy.

The Bank Job I actually already found a copy of so I hope to watch it soon. As I said in January, Jason Statham is a guy who deserves to be in much better movies than he's in. Hopefully this one sees a turn around for the guy. Otherwise he may be forced to go the recent Rock/Vin Diesel route and do one of those "tough guy has to look after a kid" route. Goody.

Fucking Horton Hears a Who...is it so hard to just take a Dr. Seuss book and simply adapt it? Does it need to be made all hip and cool for the modern day with fucking Myspace references or whatever shit? Also Jim Carrey needs to tone down the...well the Jim Carrey. Just take it back a few notches. This movie looks like it will be very, very irritating on many levels.

Funny Games I know nothing about other than its called Funny Games and it may or may not star Naomi Watts. I hope to shit it does cuz she is hoooooooooot.

Doomsday I saw the trailer for the other day and well, it didn't do much for me. It looks like a whole lot of other movies and I just don't have a whole lot of excitement built up for this one. Maybe it will be a pleasant surprise, which would be great because there has been a huge lack of those this year so far.

I like Owen Wilson. I think he's funny as a person but chooses to be in some really unfunny movies often. I hope this one is one of the good ones. The trailer is fairly average with a couple of smiles but nothing too amazing.

Thank god for Shutter because if one month went by without a japanese horror movie remake I would fucking kill myself. I would FUCKING....KILL MYSELF!

Superhero Movie has a chance of being either the next Meet the Spartans type rant, or a "hey that wasnt too bad kind of a movie".

Stop Loss has a standee in our theatre lobby that I have to look at for like 15 hours out of my week. Ergo, fuck Stop Loss.

I watched the documentary of the story 21 is based on and it was really interesting. I hope the movie does a decent job of telling that story because it's a good story and reading it on an etch a sketch would be entertaining as hell so why wouldn't th emovie be?

Run Fatboy Run I also have available and will probably watch soon. Ergo....what?

Finally Possession has been delayed like 18 times and if history has taught us anything, that's a fantastic sign for the quality of this one.

Wow every month these get shorter...I think. Maybe not even. You can even see the paragraphs get shorter as this thing goes on and I gradually start to lose interest more and more. As for the predictions...well here we go

Best Movie - God I really don't know. I'll say either 10,000 BC...or hell let's get fucking nuts...Funny Games. Funny Games is going to be the best movie of March.

Worst Movie - Again, theres so many good picks for this one, as with every month it seems. I gotta go with College Road Trip for this one, although Horton is a tempting choice. I feel College Road Trip will make me angrier so thats why it's going to be my solid pick.
