One weekend before Valentine’s Day, and the box office is rolling out movies both guys and gals will want to share with their sweethearts. Before you make weekend plans, check out what’s playing this week at a theatre near you.
Those looking for a good cry will want to check out “Dear John” (PG-13). In classic Nicholas Sparks fashion, a couple held apart by war maintains a rocky, seven year relationship through the letters they send to one another. On dangerous missions in the Middle-East after the attacks on 9/11, the distance and longing drives a wedge between their relationship and she eventually settles down to marry someone else.
An adventure seeking aide to the U.S. ambassador in France gets his thrills doing part-time work for the CIA, but what he really wants is become a full-time agent in “From Paris with Love” (R). When he gets pulled into a senior-level operation with a professional agent, he finds himself on the outside looking in an action-packed adventure that could cost him his life. Even if action-adventure flicks aren’t your thing, but you’re compromising with your beau, Jonathan Rhys Meyers is always a good reason to go to the movies!
Three snowboarders wind up trapped in the lift chair at the ski resort in suspense-thriller, “Frozen” (R). With the resort closed until the following weekend, and no way for the trio to get down, they put their courage to the test and search for a way to survive. Escaping a cruel fate at the hands of nature becomes their only objective, but when they start to make their way to freedom, unexpected obstacles crop up, and they begin to doubt they’ll ever get off the mountain alive.
Valentine’s Day is coming next weekend, so tune in again next week if you and your sweetie are planning a romantic night out at the movies.
