Check out the best in premium entertainment with Dish Network satellite TV. Dish has a huge variety of intriguing movie channels of every genre and is a reasonable way to spend less money for better entertainment! Here’s the lowdown on the movies scheduled for release today 1/29/10!
1. Edge of Darkness
This film looks like a wild adventurous ride. What’s going on with children being placed in harm’s way in so many of recent movies? First you had Orphan, then The Lovely Bones, now this film where Mel Gibson plays a father whose daughter is murdered and he takes revenge. These stories are heart-wrenching for any parent to watch but somehow the plot surrounding the circumstance is always interesting enough to get us to theaters to watch it. You feel guilty for having been interested in it at all but then again, you know you were at the very least entertained and spent your whole experience at the edge of your seat. This is how I think this movie will be. Most people would watch a decent Mel Gibson flick. Add suspense, danger, revenge and decent directing and you have yourself a winner. I can’t see this movie being bad.
2. When In Rome
This romantic comedy stars Josh Duhamel and Kristen Bell. This movie looks a little cheesy but you can’t go wrong with Hollywood heartthrob Josh Duhamel. Pictures do not do this man justice, in fact, he looks awkward in the pictures I’ve seen of him online but if you see him in on film, you just might just fall in love. Josh was also in the movie A Perfect Getaway along with Milla Jovovich. This was the first movie I’ve seen him in and he gave a great performance. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed with his acting though the movie looks a little simple. The story is about a woman looking for love who travels to Rome to find romance and is courted by a group of unlikely men, a reporter in particular. This one would probably make a decent rental.
3. Saint John of Las Vegas
I was wondering what in the world this movie was about because I haven’t heard anything about it until now. I assumed it would be some type of boring and overlooked budget film until I checked it out online and realized that it stars Steve Buscemi. I became more curious. I discovered that the story focuses on a gambling addict who feels the need to cure himself of his addiction and get out of Sin City. He packs up and heads to Alberquerque, New Mexico, starts a new life with a new job but gets sent on assignment to Vegas. Can he keep himself under control, or will he fall back into the game? This drama might be quite interesting and Steve Buscemi rocks. Check it out at the movies or wait for DVD or Dish Net PPV.
4. 44 Inch Chest
Did you say Seven Pounds? Ten-Gallon Head? Love and a .45? Haven’t heard about this film? There might be a reason for that. It’s about a man who gets together with his friends and plans to kidnap his wife’s lover and ultimately carry out his revenge. Starring in the film are John Hurt, Ray Winstone and Tom Wilkinson. I enjoyed Tom Wilkinson’s performance in The Full Monty and many other films but I don’t think I’ll be running to theaters to check out this one. 44 Inch Chest is certainly number 4 on my list.
