If you are too lazy and too cozy in your sofa at home in order to actually go to the movie theatre for a change, here is an idea that could help get up faster and even rush to the local movie theatre: you are missing a lot of great movies! What kind of movies? Well, blockbusters, Box Office movies, what else? But what does this movie guru, the Box Office say? Well, here are some ideas regarding the movies that are doing quite well these weeks, movies that you shouldn’t miss:
Last weeks, the Box Office seemed to be dominated by light comedies, the kind of comedies that make fun of silly, goofy characters found in silly, goofy situations.
And the perfect examples are: Are We Done Yet? and Blades of Glory. The first one, well, it is a comedy remake; and how are comedy remakes? They are usually worse than the originals. But hey, if you want to see a family moving to the countryside and trying (and mostly failing) to renovate their home, then this is the movie for you.
As for Blades of Glory, all we can say that it is the story of two male skaters that participate (together, as a couple) at pairs figure skating competition. That basically says it all about the awkwardness and embarrassing situations, plus the silly humor.
OK, now up to more serious movies. Let’s move on with the horror and thriller ones, the ones that bring chills up our spines: Disturbia (which is now conveniently placed on the very top of the Box Office), Fracture (this week’s runner up) and Vacancy. What can we say about these movies is the fact that they are actually worth seeing, without exception. Why? Well, Disturbia for the intriguing plot, Fracture for Anthony Hopkins and Vacancy, well, Vacancy is pretty scary. And even more, each of them seems to follow quite an unpredictable story, the kind of stories that manage to keep the audience in suspense from the beginning till the end.
What else can we see in the Box Office these weeks? Well, we can observe that In the Land of Women is doing pretty well; one of those romantic wannabe movies that present us a young, sensitive and kind guy, his tumultuous inner life and relationships with women. You could say pass to this one. We can also observe the highly expected 300, one of those war movies that are highly recommended for their special effects and impressive action scenes. If you are a fan of war movies, this one is definitely worth watching.
So now you know what you can find in the Box Office. You have plenty of movies to choose from, from cheesy romantic ones to goofy comedies and from war movies to a great deal of high class thrillers. Enjoy!
