April Preview

Here comes April. Just one more month until the Summer Movie Season begins. LET'S GO!

April 1st
Insidious - The producer of Paranormal Activity and the director of Saw make a Poltergeist-like horror movie. Don't let the PG-13 rating dissuade you, this could be good.

The Source Code - I liked Duncan Jones' first movie, Moon. This looks kinda like a Philip K Dick type of story, but I have my doubts. Hope it turns out good, but not expecting it to.

Super - Rainn Wilson plays a super hero with no super powers. Sounds like I've seen this one before. It is directed by James Gunn, so I'm interested. Check out his PG Porn shorts. http://www.spike.com/shows/james-gunns-pg-porn

Cat Run - Don't know too much about this one, but the trailer looks okay. Seems similar to Lucky Number Slevin.

Trust - I like Clive Owen and Catherine Keener, but this looks like a movie I'll see once and never think about it again. Directed by Friends alum, David Schwimmer.

Rubber - Can't see this in the theater, but thought I'd mention it. Here's the trailer. http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/rubber/


April 8th
Your Highness - I like the cast and director, but this seems like a movie that sounds better being pitched than it what it turns out to be.

Hanna - The movie I've been looking forward to more than any this month. One of my favorite movies of all time is The Professional, and this looks like a sequel to that.

Soul Surfer - The movie I've been looking forward to less than any this month. One of my most hated movies of all time is The Blind Side, and this looks like a sequel to that.

Arthur - I couldn't make it through the original, so I'm not too pumped about seeing the remake.

April 15th
Scream 4 - I like the first one, thought the second was okay, and didn't see the third. I'll try to watch that before going to number four.

Rio - Another 3D animated movie. Yawn.

April 22nd
Water For Elephants - Robert Pattinson is so dreamy. I think I'll catch an early matinee with all the stay at home moms.

April 29th
Fast Five - Like Scream 4 I haven't seen all the movies in this series, so I'll have to play catch up again.

Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil - Haven't seen the original.


There's no chance in hell I'm going to see Disney's Prom or Madea's Big Happy Family. I'd rather lose a testicle.

I'm going to try to do something different this month and review each movie shortly after I see it. I figure the movies at the beginning of the month won't be in theaters by the time I do my monthly wrapup. And I know that you all base your movie watching habits by reading this blog.

May the Force be with you,
CHUD
