I have not been to the movies in a while
but I see that there are some good ones on the horizon.
For instance
I AM SAM with Michelle Pfeiffer and Sean Penn will be coming out next Friday.
SUMMARY: Sam Dawson (Sean Penn) is a mentally-challenged father raising his daughter Lucy (Dakota Fanning) with the help of an extraordinary group of friends. As Lucy turns seven and begins to intellectually surpass her father, their close bond is threatened when their situation comes to the attention of a social worker who wants Lucy placed in foster care. Faced with a seemingly unwinnable case, Sam vows to fight the legal system and forms an unlikely alliance with Rita Harrison (Michelle Pfeiffer), a high-powered, self-absorbed attorney who takes his case pro bona as a challenge from her colleagues. Together they struggle to convince the system that Sam deserves to get his daughter back and, in the process, fuse a bond that results in a unique testament to the power of unconditional love.
Tonight I saw the preview for a new L L Cool J
film,
Rollerball opening February 8.
Summary Action/Adventure and Science Fiction/Fantasy
A deadly sport that combines roller derby and basketball thrives in the year 2005 and packs arenas around the world. A global viewership bets and roots for the star players Jonathan Cross, Marcus Ridley and their beautiful teammate Aurora who skate and motorcycle past opponents to score. Despite the danger of the game, the real threat lies in the team owner Petrovich who sacrifices anything and anyone to maximize ratings, which are worth more to him than the final score. In a heroic move, Jonathan and his teammates attempt to expose the corruption and treachery. It is a risky play and the penalty is lethal.
Finally today on the Weekend Edition of USA Today, Halle Berry was the cover story for her new movie, Monster's Ball, where Sean Combs plays her husband.
I just saw that it was released in December but only in LA and NY.
SUMMARY: Thriller, Drama and Romance
1 hr. 51 min. Confronting difficult issues of racial prejudice in the southern United States, MONSTER'S BALL focuses on a prison where a white father and son (Billy Bob Thornton and Heath Ledger) are both employed. A black death row inmate (Sean Combs) receives frequent visits from his wife (Halle Berry), and eventually, the white father begins to fall in love with the black wife, bringing both confusion and new ideas to the fore.
As new movies are made known, share please. One day I might make it back to a theater.
