By now you’re surely sick of high-quality films. You’re fed up with James Cameron and Squeakquels and year-end Oscar push movies. By this point you’re itching for January, a movie month that only a true genre geek could enjoy. Or someone who loves the geeky risk of maybe seeing a really rotten flick. Yes, January offers that much and more!
Week 1
Daybreakers](Daybreakers (2010) - Movie | Moviefone) (Lionsgate) – A nifty horror sci-fi mash-up that played Toronto and Fantastic Fest and played 'em well.
Leap Year](Leap Year (2010) - Movie | Moviefone) (Universal) – Amy Adams and Matthew Goode in a romantic comedy about romance. I’ll rent it one day because Amy Adams is cute ‘n’ sexy.
Youth in Revolt](Youth in Revolt (2009) - Movie | Moviefone) (Weinstein) – The Weinsteins still release films? Yes, but only ones that have been sitting on their shelf for over a year. In this one, an uncomfortable Michael Cera tries to woo a girl. (Oh, you’ve seen it already?)
Week 2
The Book of Eli](The Book of Eli (2010) - Movie | Moviefone) (WB) – Denzel Washington in an R-rated futuristic action flick. Yes, please.
The Spy Next Door](The Spy Next Door (2010) - Movie | Moviefone) (Lionsgate) – Jackie Chan. Bily Ray Cyrus. George Lopez. Enough said.
Week 3
Extraordinary Measures (CBS Films) – Anyone order the medical drama with Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser? Well, here it is.
Legion](Legion (2010) - Movie | Moviefone) (Sony) – Dennis Quaid in a post-apocalyptic action/horror about … a baby in a diner? Yeah, I’m down.
The Tooth Fairy](Tooth Fairy (2010) - Movie | Moviefone) (Fox) – Dwayne Johnson in a tutu. You’ve been warned. By the trailer.
Week 4
Edge of Darkness](Edge of Darkness (2010) - Movie | Moviefone) (WB) – A veteran cop wants answers (and revenge!) when his daughter is murdered. This time starring Mel Gibson.
When in Rome](When in Rome (2010) - Movie | Moviefone) (Disney) – Another romantic comedy. This one with Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel … two actors I kinda like. Uh-oh.
And that’s it! That’s January! I do hope you’ve saved some of those “Oscar push” movies. (And February isn’t much better!)
