2014 12 19 – Annie, Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

This weekend we have three openings.

-----------------------------------------------

A TRULY CHRISTMAS MIRACLE -- JAMIE FOXX TURNED INTO A HOTTIE BY A BLACK SUIT

This movie, Annie, is a musical PG movie, from Sony.

This is a truly holiday-spirited movie, but its demographic is messy. Kids will probably rather watch bone dinosaurs (it's not a pun about viagra-fueled Hugh Hefner) and pissing monkeys. Grown-ups may be attracted to Jamie Foxx' sleak persona, but campy songs and big hair of the lead Annie may be too much to cope with.

ROBIN WILLIAMS AND A BUNCH OF MISCAST PEOPLE

This movie, Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, is an adventure PG movie, from Fox.

I didn't see any of this movie. I didn't dig Ben Stiller. But it looks like a fun holiday movie, there are fart/pissing jokes that amuse all 7-year-youngs, and it's the final movie of Robin Williams. That should drive people, in spite of eve of holiday preparations.

THIS MOVIE SHOULD BE MOVED OUT OF THEATERS, AS ORCS ARE PRIMITIVES THAT COME FROM THE NORTH

This movie, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, is an adventure PG-13 movie, from Warner Bros.

To be completely honest, I think this will make an amount of money close to what An Unexpected Journey brought. People want to see it, check their movie to-do lists, then forget about it. Or back into LOTR. I know I do. Minus the seeing the movie in a theater part. I don't. I've not seen any of The Hobbit on a big screen. Plus, I'm scared of pissed Orcs' hack attack.
