Can’t really complain about my April movie month. I enjoyed the Evil Dead remake, had great post-movie discussions with Lindsay about Trance, thought 42 was quite respectable, and was wowed by my IMAX visual experience with Oblivion. Not to mention I got to live out one of my childhood dreams by seeing Jurassic Park in theaters. I still really need to see The Place Beyond the Pines, Mud, and Pain & Gain so there’s still more April enjoyment to be had. May looks like it might be a decent follow up to all the recent success I’ve had at the theaters.
I actually had a decent month at the movies in March, enjoying Stoker and Spring Breakers while not completely regretting watching Oz the Great and Powerful. Other FTSer’s enjoyed The Incredible Burt Wonderstone and The Call so that’s not a terrible showing. Going into this month there’s not many options in general, but hopefully there’s a few good ones in there.
September actually kinda sucked. I did see one of my favorite movies so far this year, Looper (obviously) but I also saw and downright hated, Trouble With The Curve. I did miss a few films that I still want to see like The Master and Dredd so maybe I should reserve my judgement though. Here’s hoping October brings a few more promising films.
The summer movie season is over and honestly it wasn’t that great. There were a few great films like The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises, and I really liked some underrated and underperformed movies like Premium Rush and Hit & Run, but for the most part it was a pretty weak season. The summer comedy offerings were especially weak. I’m excited to get into the fall movie season though which has a bunch of highly anticipated films.
