Fly Me to the Moon. This feature was released to theaters to take advantage of the latest 3D craze. I never did make it down to see it, but it looks like a cute kid-centric film. Whether or not it will pay off in the home setting is yet to be seen. It follows the adventures of a couple of flies as they hop a space shuttle ride to space.
The Longshots. No, not a great movie, but a good example of the inspirational sports drama. With everyone's overwhelming familiarity with the genre, it all comes down to execution, and this one is executed with a sure hand, resulting in a film that is easy to watch and is better than I had expected. It also has the unlikeliest of directors — Fred Durst (yes, that Fred Durst).
Grave Mistake. Sounds like any number of zombie films, but it is a zombie film, and being such, I need to see it. It follows a group of friends who realize what is happening around them and head out on a mission of survival and find one of their own's missing mother.
Gunhed. I do not know much of this, but it looks like goofy fun. It centers on a group of scavengers who arrive on an old military island where war machines were made looking for treasure. Instead they find the island still active and ready to defend itself.
Battleship Potemkin. This 1925 Russian film is a landmark in cinematic history, particularly for its advances in editing. At least that is what I have read. I have not seen the film, but almost feel that it is a requirement. Now, this new release appears to be the perfect excuse to check it out.
