This week tons of comic book movies, a lesson in trying to kill yourself, and for some reason Dracula is a resort owner.

These are the movies released in theaters Friday September 28th, 2012.
Hotel Transylvania – Rated PG

Dracula (Voiced by Adam Sandler) owns a 5 star hotel for monsters and is trying to keep his daughter from marrying a human.  The jokes look bad.  The idea makes me cringe. It seems like another kids movie doing too many pop culture references and lazy toilet humor.

Verdict - If I was selecting a “scary” movie for kids I would rather show ParaNorman or wait for Frankenwennie next week

Looper – Rated R

A time traveling hit man get sent a future version of himself to kill and things go wrong.  A nice time traveling story made better by the two leads Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis basically playing the villain.  I am very interested any time Bruce Willis plays the villain.

Verdict – Should be a good Sci-FI film but not great.

Robot and Frank – Rated PG-13

A old man with dementia is given a robot to help him cope.  Someone grab me a tissue.  The quality of this movie so solely based on the performance of Frank Langella who won an Oscar for Frost/Nixon.

Verdict – It’s fair to say this will be good

Won’t Back Down – Rated PG

Maggie Gyllenhall and Viola Davis fight the system to make their kids schools a better place.  I have a bad feeling about this movie.  This is about a corrupt school system that may make every district seem terrible.  If its political message is downplayed this should be a interesting look at how to make a difference.

Verdict – I won’t be rushing out to see this.

The Avengers – Rated PG-13

This is the biggest movie of the year.  Made more money than I could in 100 life times. While the Dark Knight Rises is better, there is no denying that The Avengers is fun.

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 – Rated PG-13

This is based on the groundbreaking graphic novel.  How ground breaking?  Well Batman would never be as popular as he is now without Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns.  It was influential in Tim Burton’s 1988 Batman, Batman: The Animated Series, and Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy.  It gave Batman a hard edge.  The creators have taken to recreating the graphic novel panel by panel plus the guy who played Robocop is voicing Batman.

Next week Johnny Depp is a weird vampire, love story between a boy and his dead dog, and people need to learn one lesson: DO NOT PISS OF LIAM NEESON.  HE HAS A CERTAIN SET OF SKILLS AND WILL WHIP YOUR ASS.
