Summer is almost over. One month separate us from the Summer season and the filler seasons of September and October. With very little summer left what films are worth seeing and what films are worth skipping? Luckily for you I’ve posted a list of the films coming next month and whether it’s worth seeing or not. If you are uncertain about what to see or just don’t know what’s coming next month, then this is the article for you.
Story: I’ve never watched the show so I don’t know the whole story. From what I read and saw I have to say that a terrorist group named Cobra is trying to take over the world, so America brings in an elite group of soldiers to stop them.
Worth Seeing?: As I said before I’m not a GI Joe fan and this doesn’t look like it's going to be a great movie, but it could still be decent. It is directed by the director of the Mummy but the guy also directed the Mummy Returns, so it could go either way
Story: It’s about a band trying to win a battle of the bands type competition called Bandslam (thus the title). There also seems to be a plot about a romance between the band’s teenage manager and one of the band members named Sa5m (Why she has a 5 in her name I do not know, probably just an attempt to make the character memorable).
Worth Seeing?: I’m not a fan of teen movies, but I do have to say that it looks better then most teen movies. I probably won’t see it though because it’s just not my type of movie.
Story: Based on a best selling novel “The Time Traveler’s Wife” is about a girl who meets a guy who travels through time when she was a child. Years later she meets the guy again and marries him (he hasn’t aged because he can travel through time), yet traveling through time without control puts is bad for their relationship and the drama begins.
Worth Seeing?: It probably is if you are a woman. If you are a man (like me) then you probably wouldn’t invite your buddies to go see this. I do have to say that the idea of a man who meets a little girl and then a little bit later makes love to her as an adult is a little creepy.
Story: This film is about an arrogant car salesman. That’s pretty much it, but boy does it look funny.
Worth Seeing?: This looks like the next Talladega Nights, and for good reason seeing that it’s made by the director of Talladega Nights. Talladega Nights was hilarious and hopefully this will be hilarious.
Story: An alien race has invaded our planet, but now for conquest. Their landing on our planet was a complete accident. Humans don’t believe that so they oppress them and give them a crappy area called District 9.
Worth Seeing?: The main draw to this movie is the fact that it’s produced by Peter Jackson (best known for the Lord of the Rings trilogy). Producer means he just finances the film, but from what I heard he is a very involved producer. This film is based on a short film called “Alive in Joberg” which is actually a well done short film. The director of the short film Neil Blomkamp is also directing this, so the movie will be like the short but with more budget, running time, and story. If nothing else this movie is worth seeing because if this is a box office success then Peter Jackson and Neil Blomkamp will be allowed to make the Halo Movie.
Story: A suburb of black falls is now turned upside down when a kid discovers a rock where it can grant any of your wishes.
Worth Seeing?: It probably is if you’re a child. Otherwise I don’t know. It is directed by the director of Spy Kids which was a good film whether you were a kid or an adult, but the same director also directed the crappy sequels. Just check the reviews from the paid critics.
Story: During World War 2 times a US general is organizing a group of Jewish soldiers to do one thing and one thing only; Killing Nazis. There also seems to be a plot about a young woman who’s family is killed by Nazis so she flees to Paris, change her identity, and runs a cinema. These two stories will probably end up connecting in this film.
Worth Seeing?: It’s directed by Quentin Tarantino which I haven’t seen any of his films but I heard that they were all great. Quentin Tarantino himself said that he thinks this is his best film. Even without the director’s credentials this film looks good.
Story: A town is banning the famous concert Woodstock from playing on their grounds, so a kid with his parents is now being paid to hold Woodstock in their own backyard.
Worth Seeing?: It looks pretty good, but I do have to say that it’s the type of film that won’t be playing at any theater. If that’s the case then you might have to go out of your way to see this film, but I have a feeling that it would be worth it.
Story: Pretty much the same as the other Final Destination films. Some teens escape death and now death is out to get them.
Worth Seeing?: I can’t really comment on this film because it’s a horror film and I’m not a horror film fan. I do have to say that the title is retarded seeing that it’s pretty much the same as the title as the first film. All they did is added a “The” in the title.
Story: Michael Meyers is killing people… Again.
Worth Seeing?: Once again, not a horror fan so I can’t really judge it.
Trend: Alien and Human Role Reversal
There always seems to be trends in Hollywood that lasts for a short time. The trend that seems to be going on right now is that Aliens and Humans are now switching roles. Like in Battle for Terra where instead of Aliens invading our planet for conquest we are invading theirs for conquest. Or what about District 9 where instead of Aliens oppressing us we are oppressing the Aliens. Then there’s Planet 51 (Coming Soon) where a human astronaut is now on an alien planet being hidden by a little alien boy. It’s just like ET except the roles are reversed. Last but not least there’s the new James Cameron movie Avatar which I just learned was about humans invading an Alien planet. It seems that Hollywood has just realized that if we do find Aliens the chances are that they would be nicer then us.
