The bad news about the month of February is that we are still in Movie Siberia; where unwanted films are sent to die. The good news we’re in the final four weeks of dead chill before things start to heat up again. Here now is a preview for the ultra-thin month of February.
JACKASS FOREVER – Johnny Knoxville (what’s left of him), returns for yet another installment in the JACKASS series, along with cast-members from the series now in its fifth film.
MOONFALL – Master of Disaster director Roland Emmerich (INDEPENDENCE DAY, THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, 2012), directs this sci-fi noisemaker which sees our Moon knocked out of orbit and set on a collision-course with Earth. The cast includes Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson, John Bradley, Michael Pena, and Donald Sutherland.
BLACKLIGHT – Liam Neeson stars in another shoot-em-up, this time playing a secret government agent tasked with extracting agents from hostile territories.
DEATH ON THE NILE – Kenneth Branagh directs and reprises his role as master detective Hercule Poirot in this sequel to MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS from 2017. The cast includes Annette Benning, Russell Brand, Gal Gadot, and Armie Hammer.
MARRY ME – A Latin pop star (Jennifer Lopez), chooses to marry a stranger (Owen Wilson) at one of her concerts. Sarah Silverman co-stars.
THE CURSED – In this horror film, a 19th century village is terrorized by a curse that lurks in the surrounding woods. Boyd Holbrook stars.
DOG – Channing Tatum plays a U.S. Army Ranger tasked with delivering a military working dog home to his master.
UNCHARTED – The long-awaited adaptation of the popular video game series. Tom Holland (Marvel’s SPIDER-MAN), and Mark Wahlberg star as a duo of treasure hunters looking for a lost fortune. It is directed by Ruben Fleischer; helmer of the excellent ZOMBIELAND (2009), and the not-so-excellent VENOM from 2018.

1. Personal attacks not tolerated.
2. Haters welcome, if you can justify it.
3. Swearing is goddamn OK.
