Mark Vader Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Winter is in full blast, the holidays are over, school is back in session and the year end awards are being handed out. Yet, the movie studios keep churning out new products each week hoping to grab more money from people who need some new entertainment away from the hyped holiday blockbusters and the snooty independent Oscar films. Traditionally, this month and February are referred to as the "Garbage Season" of movies, because this is when lesser films and films that were thought to have been big at one time, but actually aren't, get dumped at this time of year. Lately, this has changed. Especially in February. There are one or two quality movies that do get released at this time of year, so moviegoers may not want to be dismissive. So without further ado, here is what's on our plate this month. Chris Hemsworth stars in "12 Strong", which tells the story of the first Special Forces team deployed to Afghanistan after 9/11; under the leadership of a new captain, the team must work with an Afghan warlord to take down the Taliban. Also starring Michael Shannon, Elsa Pataky, Taylor Sheridan, Michael Pena & William Fichtner. In "Maze Runner: The Death Cure", Young hero Thomas embarks on a mission to find a cure for a deadly disease known as the "Flare". Starring Rosa Salazar, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Dylan O'Brien & Kaya Scodelario. Liam Neeson is, "The Commuter". A businessman is caught up in a criminal conspiracy during his daily commute home. Also starring Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson & Jonathan Banks. Gerard Butler stars in "Den of Thieves". A gritty crime saga which follows the lives of an elite unit of the LA County Sheriff's Dept. and the state's most successful bank robbery crew as the outlaws plan a seemingly impossible heist on the Federal Reserve Bank. Also starring Jordan Bridges, Pablo Schreiber & Evan Jones. In "Insidous: The Last Key", Parapsychologist Dr. Elise Rainier faces her most fearsome and personal haunting yet - in her own family home. Starring Lin Shaye, Leigh Whannell, Angus Sampson & Kirk Acevedo. In "Paddington 2", Paddington, now happily settled with the Brown family and a popular member of the local community, picks up a series of odd jobs to buy the perfect present for his Aunt Lucy's 100th birthday, only for the gift to be stolen. Starring Ben Whishaw, Hugh Grant, Hugh Bonneville & Sally Hawkins. In "Forever My Girl", After being gone for a decade a country star returns home to the love he left behind. Starring Alex Roe, Jessica Rothe, John Benjamin Hickey & Abby Ryder Fortson. Finally, in "Proud Mary", Mary is a hitwoman working for an organized crime family in Boston. Mary's life is completely turned around when she meets a young boy whose path she crosses when a professional hit goes awry. Starring Taraji P. Henson, Neal McDonaugh, Danny Glover & Xander Berkeley.
