April Movie Preview

April 5th

• Evil Dead: A remake of the horror classic, produced by original director Sam Raimi and original star Bruce Campbell.  A group of kids head out to an old cabin in the woods and uncover a book called the Necromonicon that causes them to be possessed by demons and other horrible things to happen.
• Jurassic Park 3D: The classic blockbuster returns to theaters in 3D.  Some of the scenes seem prime for 3d like the Gallimimus chase and the T-rex chasing the jeep scene and I’m excited just to see the movie on the big screen, as I never have.

April 19th

• Oblivion: Tom Cruise stars as one of the only humans left on Earth, doing some maintenance work before joining the rest of humanity off-planet.  The discovery of a capsule with a mysterious human and a group of underground survivors complicates things.

April 26th

• Pain and Gain: A “smaller” scale movie from Michael Bay stars Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson as a couple of meathead weight lifters who come up with a plan to kidnap and extort money from a rich gym customer.  It’s apparently based on a true story.
