Well The Oscars were announced.  I would tell you more of my thoughts about who is going to win but its going to take a long time before I can get over Jonah Hill being nominated for Best Supporting Actor.  This week Glenn Close in drag, Liam Neeson vs Wolves, and giant fighting robots come home.

These are the movies that will be released on Friday, January 27th, 2011
A Dangerous Method - Rated R

This movie explores the relationship between Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender) and Sigmund Freud (Vigo Mortensen).  Those are pioneer psychologists and Freud blames everything on sex.  I have studied Psychology and it bored me to death.  On the other hand I enjoyed Fraiser.  Perhaps director David Cronenberg (The Fly and A History Of Violence) can make this entertaining.

Verdict – While the actors kind of intrigued me I will wait to see this when I can see it free.

Albert Nobbs – Rated R

Glenn Close plays a woman who has to dress like a man in the early 1900’s for work.  30 years later she finds out that she is trapped.  I enjoyed this the first time I saw it when it was called Tootsie.  Much like A Dangerous Method I am sure this is good but I don’t have much interest in this.  Even though Glenn Close was nominated for an Oscar for this.

Verdict - While the actors kind of intrigued me I will wait to see this when I can see it free. (I think I have said that before)

Man On A Ledge – Rated PG-13

Ed Harris has framed Sam Worthington for a diamond heist he did not commit.  So to prove is innocence Sam threatens to commit suicide as a distraction so his brother Jamie Bell can rob Ed Harris of Diamonds.  Elizabeth Banks and Krya Sedgwick co star.  The plot seems a bit too convoluted.  However I think the cast can be good enough to make Man On A Ledge entertaining.

Verdict – I hope I don’t go crossed eyed.  I hope I do not need any aspirin after viewing.

One For The Money – Rated PG-13

Katherine Heigl needs money so she becomes a bounty hunter but not the cool Boba Fett kind of bounty hunter.  She has to chase her old high school boyfriend whom she is falling back in love with.  Out of all the Katherine Heigl movies this one looks the best, which is like saying out of all the piles of crap this one smells the best.

Verdict – I will take the GF but the she must watch a marathon of Roadhouse, Die Hard, and the next movie.

The Grey – Rated R

Liam Neeson is in a plane crash with some of his buddy’s.  They have to walk through the Alaskan wilderness and fend off wolves.  I can see this being in the vain of Neeson’s other action films Taken and Unknown.   Kicking ass and having flesh out, deep characters.  I expect good things from The Grey.

Verdict ­– Liam Neeson is going to kick the crap out of nature and I want a front row seat.

Box Office Top 5 Movies In The Country
1. Underworld: Awakening – Rated R
2. Red Tails – Rated PG-13
3. Contraband – Rated R
4. Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close – Rated PG-13
5. Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows Rated PG-13

I am not surprised that ass kicking vampires won this week.  I am hopeful for Red Tails.  I have heard good things and George Lucas wants to make more.

50/50 – Rated R

Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as a guy who has to deal with being diagnosed with cancer.  This was one of my top movies of 2011.  While people call it a comedy I do not remember laughing much but this is a very emotional film.

Real Steel – Rated PG-13

Hugh Jackman trains robots to box.  This is supposed to take over MMA?  This movie has tons of heart and should be good for a Saturday night.

Paranormal Activity 3 – Rated R

See how all this Paranormal Activity demon stuff started.  I liked the first 1 but not the 2nd.  Watch this in the dark with the surround sound all the way up and the lights off.

Next week Harry Potter is being haunted by a ghost, some whales are stuck in ice, and shape-shifting aliens in the Arctic.
