Mark Vader Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 A new year rolls in with a new month of movies. Traditionally the month of January & February were referred to as the "Garbage Season", as studios would release their worst offerings of the year with little recognition. Films receiving Oscar nominations and the NFL playoffs would garner all of the attention for entertainment. However, in recent years things have changed. February has had major releases bringing big box office results, and is now seen as a lucrative month. Now the month of January is starting to get much better fare than before. There are still some films that can be viewed as forgettable, but there will be a few movies that will have audiences more interested in the past. It is only fair to start calling this the "Winter Season" of movies. Leading the way is the continuing story of what has become an unexpected "trilogy". James McAvoy, Bruce Willis, & Samuel L. Jackson star in director M.Night Shyamalan's "Glass". Security guard David Dunn uses his supernatural abilities to track Kevin Wendell Crumb, a disturbed man who has twenty-four personalities. Matthew McConaughey & Anne Hathaway star in "Serenity". The mysterious past of a fishing boat captain comes back to haunt him, when his ex-wife tracks him down with a desperate plea for help, ensnaring his life in a new reality that may not be all that it seems. Also starring Diane Lane, Jason Clarke & Djimon Honsou. Kevin Hart & Bryan Cranston star in "The Upside". A comedic look at the relationship between a wealthy man with quadriplegia and an unemployed man with a criminal record who's hired to help him. Also starring Nicole Kidman. Keanu Reeves stars in "Replicas". A scientist becomes obsessed with bringing back his family members who died in a traffic accident. Also starring Alice Eve, Emily Alyn Lind & Thomas Middleditch. In "The Kid Who Would Be King", A band of kids embark on an epic quest to thwart a medieval menace. Starring Rebecca Ferguson, Tom Taylor, Rhianna Doris, Dean Chaumoo, Louis Ashbourne Serkis & Patrick Stewart. In "A Dog's Way Home", A dog travels 400 miles in search of her owner. Starring Kimi Alexander, Farrah Aviva, Chris Bauer, Rolando Boyce & John Cassini. Finally, in "Escape Room", Six strangers find themselves in circumstances beyond their control, and must use their wits to survive. Starring Taylor Russell, Logan Miller, Jay Ellis & Tyler Labine.

unbillievable Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I'm wondering if I need to watch Split before Glass. I'm thinking of going to see Upside just to ****-off SJW's protesting Cranston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Scarlett Johansson before him, SJW's say Cranston is doing a "black-face" by playing something he is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it must be harder than it sounds, to sit there the whole movie, knowing you can only move your face muscles, or they'd have to do another take.

Some people desperately need a life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being something you're not is pretty much the very definition of acting, isn't it? 10 hours ago, unbillievable said: I'm wondering if I need to watch Split before Glass.

eball Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Saw Glass yesterday. The critics have really hammered it so I went in expecting to be disappointed and was pleasantly surprised. I won't spoil anything but I think it's a fair statement that you'll either love or hate the ending -- either way it was still a good movie and "conclusion" to the trilogy. I'll watch it again when it comes to the small screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked it a lot. I thought James McAvoy was excellent. I also liked the ending. I, too, will watch it again. I think it's one of those movies one can see/notice things a 2nd time through.
