February is here and a new list of movies to look forward to as well.
Dear John on February 5th: This romantic movie starring Channing Tatum (G.I. Joe) and Amanda Seyfried (Mama Mia) looks sweet and endearing. I have been a fan of Mr. Tatum since I saw Step Up. He has a talent for putting on a tough guy facade over a soft sweet interior. I, along with a lot of others, am looking forward to seeing how this love story plays out on screen.
Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief on February 12th: This trailer had me wondering where my son hid his copy of the book so I could get it out and read it. This is mythology and adventure rolled into one. It appeals to the geek and to the kids and many in between.
Valentine’s Day on February 12th: This movie has so many stars I like that for that alone I am interested in it. Then throw in the romantic comedy elements and I am hooked. The only thing making me a little wary is the many different storylines. Traditionally, I don’t identify well with those kinds of stories. I can’t connect with the story because of all the jumps. However, I still am very keen to see this one.
Shutter Island on February 19th: I’ve enjoyed watching Leonardo DiCaprio on the screen since he first walked onto Growing Pains. This movie looks like it is a paranormal suspense/mystery and as such fun. I want to see the eerie interesting parts of this movie and hope that it doesn’t tip over the edge into horror. If I haven’t mentioned it before, I don’t do horror. Nightmares, screams, shakes…it isn’t pretty. This movie may require having my husband’s shoulder close to hand but I want to see it and find out what is happening on that island.
What movies are you looking forward to this month?
