March 5th Film Releases
Three. That's all we get. Three. At least it's a good three. I would be having a fit if it was a bad three.
It's not a great weekend for movies, but it could have been a whole lot worse.
1) The Reckoning
2) Starsky and Hutch
3) Hidalgo
Starsky and Hutch
One of the original ambiguously gay duos has been remade, remastered, and recast using the next generation of possibly not hetero couples - Stiller and Wilson.
Bottom line - it looks funny. Go have a good time. Best of all, Snoop Dog plays Huggy Bear.
Hidalgo
Vigo goes from being king of Middle Earth to being a washed up cowboy who won a lot of endurance races. I don't think I would classify that as a promotion.
Think of it this way - it's like Seabiscuit in the Sahara Desert and much, much longer.
I love horses. Seabiscuit made me cry and I'm not afraid to admit it. But I am not going to see this movie over the weekend. The other options are just too good.
The Reckoning
You're not going to believe it, but I actually saw this movie. It closed the Santa Barbara International Film Festival last month. So I can say with confidence that this is a good movie and a solid $10 candidate.
A priest on the run joins up with a troup of traveling actors during the Middle Ages. At their next gig they go experimental and do a play that isn't from the bible and inadvertently sove a local murder mystery.
