28 days later and February is gone. Good movie reference? It'll do.
Nothing too eventful came out of February, some good movies came along but with not too much lasting impact. March seeks to change that, and I think it has a good chance of doing so. Let's jump right in:

So this month is looking extra packed, and that excites me. First week includes lots of great movies that we've seen that are just fantastic. This coming Friday, be sure to check out The Adjustment Bureau and Rango. Definitely two strong movies. Beastly looks to be pleading for more of an audience but may not get one. And Take Me Home Tonight is an OK movie that could be skipped, and patiently waited for on DVD.
2nd week brings one hell of an action film, what i'm predicting to be the best action of the year. Premature? Of course, but it looks damn good. Red Riding Hood is shaping up to be a serviceable telling of the classic story, though questions remain. Mars Needs Moms looks like a fan animated movie with a good story to tell, just will it appeal to more than just kids?
The 3rd week features a couple of "dump" movies but it also features a movie with a good potential, and a phenomenal limited release film. Paul has good potential. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are two hilarious men, especially when paired together. But Seth Rogen throws me off a bit. I believe famous actors with voices that people can recognize should not be featured in any animation role. I personally can't picture the character anymore, all I see is the actor. That takes a lot away from the movie for me. Win Win on the other hand is a movie that has to be seen. Great dramatic, story telling that people can relate to.
Finally, the last week of March brings us Sucker Punch. Lots of insanely hot chicks kicking ass. Got my male point of view out. Now as for the movie, it looks like it could bring a lot of over the top action, not sure how it will fare in other categories such as story, special effects and etc.

February departs as fast as it arrived. March is upon us and with it’s arrival brings a rather good selection of movies.
March 4th sees the release of Beastly, Rango, The Adjustment Bureau, and the crappy looking Take Me Home Tonight. The first three being the hits of this week. Rango, which we have already seen, is going to be a hit with kids as much as adults. It is crazy and fun. Beastly being a retelling of Beauty and The Beast but in modern “teen”-age. Looks like it will be a cute little romantic movie. Expect reviews fro Rango and The Adjustment Bureau this week.
March 11th has the great action alien movie Battle: Los Angeles and another retelling of a classic fairy tale Red Riding Hood. Red Riding Hood also is aiming for the teen demographic with a pretty cast. Looks interesting to say the least. We also see the odd movie Mars Needs Moms and Source Code.
March 18th we get a comedy starring an alien with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost who find an alien. Paul looks to give us a decent comedy this month. Lincoln Lawyer and Limitless are coming out this week as well.
March 25th finally sees three good selections that cater to different demographics. Win Win, Diary of a Wimpy Kid part 2, and the awesome looking Sucker Punch.
