March 11th Film Releases

Pacifier?! Pacifier is number one at the box office? I guess that doesn't count all the people who ran out midway through the film because it was lowering the audience's collective IQ.
See good movies people. Don't make careless movie going decisions, it only leads to sequels.

1) Millions
2) Upside to Anger
3) In My Country

The Passion of the Christ (The Passion Recut)
Now with less gore!!! What is this? If you can't get to church, see the movie? Why read the New Testament when you can see the movie?

In My Country
Two journalists covering the Reconciliation Hearings in South Africa, go into the cities and town to hear stories of oppression from the very people who experienced it. Self Discovery and Catharsis served with the usual fare of abhorred human rights violations.

Hostage
A couple rookies take the mafia’s accountant hostage, so the mafia takes Bruce Willis' family hostage to make sure the rescue job gets done right. Die Hard: The Reincarnation.

Robots
This little contraption has a dream of repairing other gizmos so they don't get taken to the trash heep. I only care if he fixes cars. I am going to need a new transmission in the near future.
Great if you have kids, too much other stuff worth seeing if you don't.

Millions
A little guy with a powerful imagination and a recently deceased Mum finds a bag of money and believes it's a gift from God and wants to do good things with it. His older brother isn't so sure about the Holy Ghost and wants to get cool clothes and a Game Boy. The thief who stole the money is willing to kill them to get it back.

The Upside to Anger
I love Joan Allen. Don't you? She plays the (drunk) matriarch of a family of four daughters whose father ran off. Kevin Costner plays a retired (drunk) baseball player (with an actual personality) who wants to get into Mom's pants and ingratiate himself into the family.
I am curious to see what a male comedian can do with a female dominated story. That, and you know my favorite premise - f*ed up people doing f*ed up things! Keep to that and you'll never go wrong.

The Boys from County Clare
I have actually seen this. It played at the Santa Barbara film Festival last year and I thought it was good. Two estranged brothers, who are not above resorting to sabotage, compete against each other in a music competition. If you like Irish music and dysfunctional family comedies, then see this. Otherwise, order it on Netflix.

Dot the i
I saw the trailer. I read the synopsis. I still don't get it. An engaged woman has doubts when she meets another man, then all hell breaks loose. And I don't mean the kind of hell you expect. This looks like really strange hell.
If you're in the mood for a romantic thriller with a really hot cast, then this could be fun.
