“The Baytown Outlaws”
Release Date: Jan. 11
Release Date: Jan. 11
Do not go into “The Baytown Outlaws” with the hope of Oscar-winning performances from Eva Longoria and Billy Bob Thornton. Do go into this movie with hopes of an extremely fun ride filled with lots of surprise actors and actresses along the way. This film about a few country brothers who are off to rescue a woman’s stolen son is far more entertaining than is seems. Just disregard the obvious stereotypical jokes that are bound to pop up more than once in this movie. But for the first feature-length film by director and writer Barry Battles, it does look quite impressive.
“The Impossible”
Release Date: Jan. 4
Release Date: Jan. 4
Having already won four awards and seven nominations for acting, this film is sure to get far more nominations and wins once more award shows such as, The Academy Awards and The British Academy of Film and Television Arts roll around. “The Impossible” is based on the true story of a family left scattered and hopeless after the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. The heartbreaking realism that pours out of this movie is bound to leave wet eyes throughout the theatres. Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor give out-of –this-world performances, as do their co-stars. In an interview with The Daily Beast, it was revealed that Watts studied the documentary “Tsunami: Caught on Camera,” as well as befriended the woman she was playing in order to set up her role. “It’s probably the most physically demanding thing I’ve ever done,” says Watts.

“John Dies at the End”
Release Date: Jan. 25
Release Date: Jan. 25
Don Coscarelli, director of cult classics such as “Bubba Ho-Tep” and “Phantasm,” might finally get his chance at the Hollywood spotlight with a film adaptation of “John Dies at the End”. Never losing his wacky premises, this film is centered around two college dropouts , John and Dave, trying to stop a bizarre new street drug from destroying mankind. Paul Giamatti joins the ranks of newcoming film actors, Chase Williamson (Dave) and Rob Mayes (John). The film definitely has an off and comic-like vibe from the constant interesting dilemmas these two young adults are facing. Since it caught the eyes of Sundance, South by Southwest and the Toronto International Film Festival then it definitely is worth a shot. If waiting until January 25th is out of the question, Amazon has it streaming for a limited time only before it hits theatres.
