March Movie Preview

The first few actual blockbusters are going to be coming out this month including the, already selling out theaters, The Hunger Games.  Disney also hopes that John Carter is a massive hit considering the ridiculous amount of money they’ve spent on it and Wrath of the Titans will hopefully improve on it’s horrible predecessor.  Check out everything that’s coming out this month below.

• Silent House: Elizabeth Olsen, the other Olsen sister, stars in this home invasion/horror movie that is one, 88 minute long take.
• A Thousand Words: The latest in Eddie Murphy’s assault on good taste finds him as a fast talking, lying agent who pisses off his spiritual guru client and is cursed to be linked to tree with a thousand leaves on it, each leaf representing a word he can speak and if all the leaves fall off, he could die.

• Mirror, Mirror: The first, and awful looking, Snow White movie coming out this year, Mirror, Mirror is from Tarsem Singh, coming off Immortals and seems to be taking a more “comedic” take on the Snow White story than it’s competitor, Snow White and the Huntsman.  Julia Roberts, Armie Hammer and Lily Collins star.
• Wrath of the Titans: The sequel to the critically panned but financially successful Clash of the Titans remake, Wrath of the Titans picks up with Perseus (Sam Worthington) on a quest to rescue Zeus, who has been banished to the underworld by Ares and Hades.  To make matters worse, Hades unleashes the Titans from their prison in Mt. Tartarus to wreak havoc on Earth.
