September has never truly been a great month for movies. Lots of movies get dumped in here and most of them end up bombing at the box office and getting mostly negative reviews. While a lot of the movies seem to fit that mold, there are some movies to have some hope for.

The first week of September features two action packed movies in The American and Machete, both of which look like a good time at the movies. I've never been too much of a fan of George Clooney but he kind of looks like a bad-ass in The American. On the other hand, what is not to like about Machete. You got two amazingly beautiful girls to look forward to in Michelle Rodriguez and Jessica Alba, along with some good old fashioned action created by Danny Trejo and seemingly Cheech Marin. 

It seems like the Resident Evil series may be taking a turn for the best with Afterlife. But is it too late? After 3 sub-par movies could a good or great 4th movie help the series at all? Hell I could be counting my chickens before they hatch by saying this movie will be good, cause it very well be the like the other 3.

September 17th features a couple of movies that look interesting. You got Devil which just looks flat out creepy and a fun time for people who are into horror/ mystery type movies. Then you got Easy A with the knock out Emma Stone in it which looks like a funny movie about the twist of kind of being  whore. Weird but she makes being a whore look good. 

The last week of September also features interesting movies but they seem like movies that could be a bust. I'm a big Shia LeBeouf fan, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps looks interesting but I feel a bust coming on. I can't quite put my finger on it, i'm just hoping i'm wrong.

You Again casts two beautiful girls in Kristen Bell and Odette Yustman clashing against each other in what probably won't do well in the box office.

Finally, The Legends of the Guardian: Owls of Ga'hoole looks beautiful. Something that is in 3D and rightfully deserves to be in 3D. But every time I see the trailer, I leave with the same feeling. What is this movie about?

Kids heading for or back to college. Last minute back to school sales. Yup Summer is over and with it the Summer movie season. Which felt rather like a let down this year. Thankfully we had Scott Pilgrim VS the World and The Expendables to help console us at the end. So September. What will you offer us?

September is overall not a great month for movies due to summer ending and everyone back to school and work. With that said, there are a few offerings that seem to be good viewings. Plus a rather large amount of limited releases. Which is odd. 

So the first two weeks we have The American starring George Clooney as a James Bond type character like movie thingy. See what I did there? Not interest in it at all yet with George it will make money. Machete looks great and seems to follow the Expendables formula of action movies done right. 

We are also getting another Resident Evil movie. Which looks like it might try to be good by incorporating some aspects of the last two games. Plus it was filmed in 3D not converted. We’ll see what happens with this one. Then you have the obligatory romantic comedy of the month in Going The Distance with Drew Barrymore and Justin Long. Drew Barrymore seemed to stop aging and still good looking. Ben Affleck tries to make a comeback from whatever vacation he was in with The Town. 

Later in the month of September movies seem to pick up a bit of steam. Easy A looks to be funny with a good young star cast and a take on the Scarlet Letter. Devil looks to be a rather fun horror movie about being stuck in an elevator with what possibly could be the devil himself.

At the end we get a cool looking CG movie about owls in The Legends of The Guardians. Another comedy about relationships and old grudges in You Again which looks fun. And finally a sequel to a great movie, that I think should not have been made, in Wall Street Money Never Sleeps or some shit like that. Then you have the eleven, yes eleven, limited release movies that includes Buried with Ryan Reynolds which looks great and want to catch when and if it comes out at my theater.
