Romance, comedy and action infiltrate theaters this weekend and its going to be busy to say the least with How To Train Your Dragon still selling out show times. (Seriously, see the movie, its fantastic!)
Recommended: I'm very tempted to put Clash of the Titans up here, but going on what I've heard and what I've seen, I'll support Date Night. Starring Steve Carell and Tina Fey, Date Night follows a couple trying to enjoy a much-needed quiet night out on the town, away from their busy lives. However, when they aren't able to keep up, they try some crazy which ends up leading to crazier consequences.
I think the ads have been pretty funny so far, and it is very high concept for a comedy with car chases and the like. It is sort of a comical version of True Lies.
Reviews are strong for this type of film. Also starring James Franco, Mila Kunis and Mark Wahlberg, Date Night is out now and rated 14+.
Clash of the Titans is no doubt a very anticipated movie here, and people are turning out in droves because all shows were sold out all day yesterday. Starring Sam Worthington fresh off his Avatar success, Clash brings the Greek myth of Perseus to life, as he takes on the challenge of defeating Hades and obtaining ultimate power from Zeus, despite being a raised a man, but born a God. The remake removes many aspects of the original in favour of action, which has its advantages and disadvantages.
As someone who enjoys the greater elements of film such as direction and production, I'm not impressed, but it will satisfy the action junkie in me.
Reviews are average but you can decide for yourself. It is rated PG.
Lastly, Diary of a Wimpy Kid follows an ordinary kid surviving middle school during the academic year and giving commentary on the many wonders or lack thereof in school life.
It is based on a book which I have never read, but like many adaptations, it is said to be not as good as the literature. I don't see it having a lot of success here due to the difference in education systems plus the direct demo competition with Dragons & Alice still playing strongly.
Reviews are moderate, but criticize the titular character which is a big miss. It is rated All Ages.
Did anyone actually get a ticket to see Clash yet? If you have, how was it?
