Aside from the typical teams (Brave, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World<\/em>) showing up to play this weekend, a couple foreign products in Livid<\/em> and Extraterrestrial<\/em> also display their skills, or lack thereof. But the true standout performance came from the mind of an unorthodox coach by the name of Wes Anderson. <\/p>\n

The new releases for the respective week will have a capsule review at the end of the column. An updated list comes out every Monday. Here’s how things are shaking up so far in 2012:<\/p>\n

Not Screened:<\/strong> One for the Money, Casa De Mi Padre, Chimpanzee, High School<\/em><\/p>\n

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter<\/a><\/p>\n

The first 50 minutes is by far some of the worst filmmaking these green eyes have witnessed, considering this had a production budget of $70 million. Conducting this first-half train wreck is Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Night Watch<\/em>). Armed with blurry 3D, poor cinematography and deadly editing; professionalism was the only attribute keeping yours truly from sprinting out (yes, sprints). This section is comprised of rapidly showing a young Abraham Lincoln having his first encounter with a vampire; then fast-forward about a decade, and he meets a mentor of sorts in Henry Sturgess (Dominic Cooper showing the only signs of life in his performance); and then he\u2019s sent off by the mysterious Sturgess to slay vampires in Springfield, Mass. You can easily fill in the rest my friends.<\/p>\n

Brave<\/a><\/p>\n

The latest animation from the award winning combo of Disney and Pixar is a splash of Little Mermaid<\/em> with an added dose of How to Train Your Dragon<\/em>. Yet the fairy tale that is, Brave<\/em>, is inferior to both those splendid stories. With the story lacking any real firepower, the animation on the other hand is one of the most immersing on-screen visual displays seen the last few years in the genre.<\/p>\n

Bottom line: the latest batch of Pixar products need a boost of energy regarding all elements that a computer cannot create.<\/p>\n

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World<\/a><\/p>\n

The desert dry comedy only shows signs of life thanks to a hilarious cameo by Rob Corddry \u2013 who ends up stealing the show despite only being around for roughly 5 minutes, and the co-starring work of Keira Knightley. Without her enacting an outgoing alternative chick approaching 30, this ponderous two week journey about how one would act if they knew the world was going to end (in this case via asteroid), would have crushed your will to ever step into a Steve Carell flick that isn\u2019t a true comedy.<\/p>\n

Moonrise Kingdom<\/strong><\/p>\n

The deadpan comedy, which resembles a live-action fairy-tale, is sturdy traditional movie-making magic. As it follows two grade-schoolers, who are trying to venture off together in a small coastal town, it transcends into a wholesome adventure with some eye-winking adult edge. Directed by Wes Anderson (Fantastic Mr. Fox, Rushmore<\/em>), his old-school mechanical approach and clever dialogue – being projected out by witty youngsters (think The Sandlot<\/em> cast) and complimented with authentic performances from accomplished stars such as Bruce Willis, Bill Murray, Edward Norton and Frances McDormand, provides a light and hilarious journey; which exudes a sense of wonderment for all to revel in.<\/p>\n

Livid<\/strong><\/p>\n

A creepy haunted house product from France, this gory and simplistic tale is a throwback and\/or homage to classic spook shows that, well, actually “spook.” Yeah, it’s not the most engrossing, or well-told story, but at least it’s a bit more suspenseful than The Woman in Black<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Extraterrestrial<\/strong> <\/p>\n

It’s one of those low-budget screenplays that shows there’s a legit alien invasion going (doesn’t show the aliens), yet that’s not the main plot. The camera ends up following a quirky group of survivors, who are embattled in a strange love-triangle all while news reports suggest the world is coming to an end. This wants to be funny and clever; and while it has a decent concept, the execution lacks the charisma to really have on buy into the tone it wants to portray.<\/p>\n
