On Christmas Day instead of seeing War Horse, as I thought I would, I ended up seeing the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.  This movie is long but it’s worth it.  The movie takes it’s time setting up characters so that when the mystery gets thicker you are more emotionally invested.  I am going to echo the worlds of one Jake Dunn when I say that The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is a very hard R.  You have been warned.

These are the movies that will be released on Friday, December, 30th 2011

With 6 movies being released last week I didn’t have much hope that anything will come out.  And I don’t have much hope for next week either.


Box Office Top 5 Movies In The Country
1. Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol Rated PG-13
2. Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows Rated PG-13
3. Alvin and The Chipmunks: Chipwrecked - Rated G
4. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo – Rated R
5. The Adventures of Tintin – Rated PG

Mission Impossible 4 reaches the top spot which was predictable.  I see more of Ethan Hunt and friends in our future.  I am disappointed that Tintin or The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo did not do better.  I really want them to make the next movie in the Millennium series and I just loose hope in the general public because Chipmunks 3 is still making money.

Apollo 18 – Rated PG-13

This is a “documentary” about the last Apollo mission to the moon and the not so friendly aliens they meet.  I have heard mixed things about this but the premise of The Blair Witch Project in space more then makes up for any hesitation in my part.

Final Destination 5 – Rated R

Some kids cheat death, death gets pissed and then kills all those teens in the most horrific and entertaining way possible.  The deaths should be good but I will probably loose several brain cells by paying completed and utter attention to this movie.

Next Week Matt Damon gets us all sick and demon’s possessions.  Stop back because in the next couple of days I will be unveiling Mac D’s top 10 movies of 2011 and my most anticipated movies of 2012.  Bet you cant guess what’s #1.
