Movie Previews

During the last week or so, I've been scavanging around for something worth watching. There is nothing worth watching on TV right now. And the movies in both the theaters and at the video store have not been worth leaving the house for. But there is promise in some movies to be released in the next week or so. Take a look.

"Four Brothers"
This movie could be good but it also could be incredibly bad. Actor Mark Wahlberg leads a band of four brothers who return to the old neighborhood to avenge the murder of their mother. Previously, Wahlberg starred in the movies "The Italian Job" and "The Perfect Storm." Release date is 8-12-05.

"The Great Raid"
A squad of Rangers is given the mission of rescuing hundreds of Americans from a Japanese POW camp in the Philipines during World War II. The squad is led by actor Benjamin Bratt, formerly of the TV show "Law and Order." Release date is 8-12-05.

I'm hoping that this is as good as the movie "Saving Private Ryan."

"Red Eye"
A woman who's afraid of flying finds herself both on an airplane and in the middle of a terrorist plot. Lisa Reisart stars. I don't remember seeing her in any other movies and an internet search didn't turn up any other movie credits. So, she is not a big star, which is fine. This may be a good popcorn movie to see if there's nothing else worth watching. Release date is 8-19-05.
