He is very skeptical of her abilities, but he starts to fall for her and her for him. Yet, his dead wife to be has not left completely, as her ghost is haunting the psychic with the goal of keeping the two apart.
First Thoughts: Super Bowl weekend must be the week when the really crappy stuff is released, as this looks and sounds terrible. When there isn’t even a laugh to be found in the trailer that is not a good sign. It does have a great looking cast.
Movie: Strange Wilderness (R) (Read Review)
Starring: Steve Zahn, Allen Covert, Jonah Hill, Kevin Heffernan & Ashley Scott
Genre: Comedy
Synopsis: The popular host of a top wildlife TV show dies and his son takes over the show. Unfortunately, he is a bumbling, blathering, imbecile that thinks he is as talented as his father. He throws in useless bits of knowledge that don’t make sense or are completely made up and the show starts sinking in the ratings. His filming partner happens upon a map to what is supposed to be the cave of Bigfoot. He decides to take his crew on the hunt of the elusive beast in Central America and disaster after disaster befalls them.
First Thoughts: Well, Meet the Spartans did well last week, maybe this will too. This doesn’t look that good either, but at least I laughed a couple of times during the trailer. Hopefully, those aren’t the only ones to be found in the movie.
Movies in Limited Release:
- Caramel – A foreign ensemble drama about a group of five women that regularly meet at a beauty salon in Beirut. While there, their conversations are intimate and open, as they discuss men, sex and motherhood.
