The bad news about the next month of movie releases is that we’re still stuck in Movie Siberia, where the unwanted are dumped to die. The good news is, February is a short month…and we have a few hidden gems scattered about here and there. Here now is a preview for the month of February.
Siberia continues with…
ARCTIC – Mads Mikkelsen (ROGUE ONE), plays a man stranded in the Arctic who misses his chance at rescue.
THE LEGO MOVIE 2: THE SECOND PART – The sequel to the 2014 smash hit. It features the voices of Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Tiffany Haddish, Will Arnett, Charlie Day, and Maya Rudolph.
EVERYBODY KNOWS – Javier Bardem (NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN), and Penelope Cruz (TO ROME WITH LOVE), star in this Spanish psychological thriller.
THE MAN WHO KILLED HITLER AND THEN THE BIGFOOT – In a film that is probably as ridiculous as the title sounds, Sam Elliot (A STAR IS BORN), stars as a man who killed Hitler and then asked to hunt down Bigfoot.
FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY – This comedy/drama is based on the 2012 documentary which depicted the life of professional wrestler Paige. It follows her journey from an upbringing in a family of wrestlers to her rise as one of the WWE’s biggest female stars.
THE PRODIGY – Beware of horror films not good enough for the Fall. Taylor Schilling (TV’s ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK), plays the mother of a child who may be possessed.
THE AMITYVILLE MURDERS – This latest installment in the never-ending AMITYVILLE franchise which is partly based on the Amityville documentaries that aired on the History Channel.

WHAT MEN WANT – In this remake of the 2000 film, Taraji P. Henson (HIDDEN FIGURES), gains the ability to hear men’s thoughts.
HAPPY DEATH DAY 2U – The sequel to the 2017 slasher film, in which a girl finds herself trapped in a time loop facing a new killer.
ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL – The long-awaited big screen adaptation of the massively popular manga comic, in which Alita (Rosa Salazar), a cyborg, discovers her hidden past and abilities. It stars Christoph Waltz (INGLORIOUS BASTERDS), Jennifer Connelly, and Mahershala Ali (GREEN BOOK). It is directed by Robert Rodriguez (SIN CITY), and produced by James Cameron (TITANIC, AVATAR).
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON: THE HIDDEN WORLD – The third and final installment of the animated fantasy franchise that started in 2010. This time, Hiccup deals with an overpopulation of dragons. It features the voice talents of Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Cate Blanchett, Craig Ferguson, Jonah Hill, Kit Harrington, Kristen Wig, F. Murray Abraham, and Gerard Butler.
