Spicer’s Weekly Movie Roundup of the Week: Episode 4

Spicer’s Weekly Movie Roundup of the  Week: Episode 4

DVD Rental of the Week: I Am Number Four- Now I know this movie got mixed reviews but if you enjoy action/ science fiction movies that have a youthful cast then you’ll like this movie. It also appeals to women because of the high school love story that takes place in the background.

Netflix Stream of the Week: Fear- One of Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon’s earlier movies but it definitely is a good time watching these two play teenagers in a tense thriller that still holds up.

Trailer of the week: 50/50-  New Joseph Gordon Levitt and Seth Rogen comedy about cancer. Rogen co-wrote this with the frame of mind that he was going to take something tragic and make it laughable in a way that is heartwarming.  The early buzz on this film is very positive for a movie that doesn’t come out tell September. Check it out on youtube- trailer looks really good.

Movie News:

Orlando Bloom confirmed for The Hobbit films.

New Total Recall movie is set to star: Colin Farrell, Bryan Cranston, Bill Nighy, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, and John Cho.

 Movie of the Week: Water For Elephants- Reese Witherspoon makes this weeks picks again but this is a good movie to watch on a date night. I really don’t like the Twilight movies but this is by far Robert Pattinson’s best movie I have seen him in. Christopher Waltz steals the movie as the bad guy; you really hate his character by the end of the movie. Overall a really solid movie and a fresh tale that keeps you in the story from start to finish.
