TWIM 1/14/14

Typical January week in Media, but good to see the Boss is still at it.

New This Week

In Theatres

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

This has the makings of a fun movie but not one you should spend money on or one that you should carve time out of your schedule on. If you do have plans to go to the theatres this weekend, without a couple of kids in tow, then this is your pick because it’s about to get much worse.

Ride Along

Kevin Hart continues his invasion of our televisions this time with Ice Cube as an angry guy. This movie does one of the most annoying things with their dvd cover…

Now I know who these two men of color are, but if my mother picked this up she might think oh so that’s what Ice Cube looks like on the left. You are using a picture of the two main stars of the film, why not put their names over their respective pictured faces? If it’s that important to Ice Cube to be top billed, then sit on the fucking left.

Devil’s Due

Oh wonderful another found footage horror film, this one coming out in January, thanks.

The Nut Job

The good news about this film is the top 3 actors could make this worthwhile. The bad news is that I haven’t heard about this until now and 4th billed is Katherine Heigl. Proceed at your own kids mental health’s risk.

Tunes

Bruce Springsteen - High Hopes

This guy is still cranking out albums? At his age you’d think he’d play one of his marathon shows then sleep the entire day until his next marathon show. Where does he have the time to make a new album?

Jennifer Nettles - That Girl

The debut solo album from the lead singer of Sugarland. I have heard the title song from this album and I must say I’m not nearly excited about the rest of the album as the radio is.

Video Games

Assassins Creed: Liberation

Why are people still playing this game? I got sick of it after about 50% of the first one. It’s the same four missions forever. Buy the new GTA at least the missions are fun as all hell while they last.
