Upcoming Movies

A quick look at upcoming movies. Note: It's January; studios dump movies in January, but also open wide the Oscar-caliber movies (a la Gran Torino)

releasing Jan 16:

• My Bloody Valentine 3-D I think I'll pass on this. most others will do so in droves.
  
  
• Notorious A bio-pic of Notorious B.I.G. Do you honestly think this will be worthwhile? Any movie that gets touted as "best movie of the year" in January is virtually doomed to failure.
  
  
• Defiance This movie looks quite interesting. It stars Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber, and Jamie Bell, all three decent actors. Basic plot: a group of Jews during WWII (the second war to end all wars) hide from the Germans in a heavily-wooded area (aka forest).
  
  
• Hotel for Dogs Take the kiddies; at least someone will enjoy it.
  
  
• Paul Blart: Mall Cop I hold no thought this will be good. But it sure looks real entertaining if the funny parts aren't all shown in the trailer.
  

Too tired to continue in this post. Will work on later weeks some other time.
