Movie previews 1/25

Untraceable:
It’s the second film of the year to have one of the best premise’s of all time: A serial killer who kills people depending on how many people go to his Web site to watch him do it.

And while the film has a pretty good team behind it, including mystery/thriller director Greg Hoblit and Diane Lane leading the cast, it has even more potential to fall flat on its face.

Whether it’s the film’s poor attempt at criticizing online culture or the “been there done that” thrills, critics aren’t liking it.

Rambo:
If you’re already a “Rambo” fan, you don’t need me to tell you to go see this.

As previews have shown and critics have confirmed, it’s classic “Rambo” all over again, except now with better special effects and an older Sylvester Stallone (who this time wrote and directed the film).

If you’re yet to see a “Rambo” film, be prepared for hilarious unintentional comedy (mostly from the violence) and a story as ridiculous as it comes. It’s always somehow entertaining.

Youth Without Youth:
From legendary director Francis Ford Coppola film comes his first film in almost a decade about a Romanian professor who is struck by lightning and gains super powers.

Slightly different than his past films such as “The Godfather,” Copolla looks to stun audiences with his visual brilliance and beautiful story of love and memory.

The critics, however, find the film too strange to find meaning in and only came away enjoying Coppola’s skill with a camera.
