Upcoming Releases, February 2025

 


With February, we get some of our first blockbusters of the year in addition to a variety of offerings that provide something for all audiences. Let's dive in.

Wednesday, February 5:
Kinda Pregnant (Netflix): This new comedy features Amy Schumer as a woman in the midst of faking a pregnancy when she meets the potential man of her dreams. Here's the start of Valentine's rom-com season!

Friday, February 7:
Heart Eyes (Theaters): This is a horror movie about a terrifying and brutal killer to attacks couples on Valentine's Day. He also had a mask that has glowing red hearts as eyes. It looks unsettling but it's one kind of date movie.

Love Hurts (Theaters): Ke Huy Quan stars as a former hit man who has started a new, quiet life. When his old life catches up with him, he's forced back into action. This one features Marshawn Lynch and Ariana DeBose. This looks like a lot of fun.

Armand (Theaters, Limited): This foreign language feature is about parents brought into a school to discuss a sensitive incident with their children. What follows is troubling and intense at times. Renate Reinsve is quite good here.

Thursday, February 13:
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (Peacock): This is a follow up to the familiar franchise. This one finds Bridget (Renee Zellweger) widowed and raising a nine-year-old son. No Colin Firth here, as his Mark is the one who died, but Hugh Grant is back and the film adds Leo Woodall, among others. This should be a good Valentine's Day streamer.

Friday, February 14:
Captain America: Brave New World (Theaters): After a quiet 2024, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is back in full force in 2025. That begins with this new Captain America tale that finds Sam (Anthony Mackie) donning the mantle and battling the Red Hulk (Harrison Ford), among others. I'm pumped. This is the first real blockbuster of 2025.

Paddington in Peru (Theaters): This is the third theatrical outing for Paddington. The first two were a complete delight and this should be more of the same. This is a great option for families.

Friday, February 21:
The Monkey (Theaters): Following up on his great work with Longlegs in 2024, Osgood Perkins is back with a horror film based on a Stephen King story. The trailer is great and moody, and the film looks like it will be fun for horror fans.

The Unbreakable Boy (Theaters): Zachary Levi stars in this Kingdom Story Company release as a father to a autistic son with a rare disease who remains unafraid to get out there and try new things. This looks like some family-friendly entertainment that will tug at the heart-strings.

Friday, February 28:
Last Breath (Theaters): Based on the 2019 documentary, this film focuses on a daring deep sea rescue operation. Woody Harrelson leads the cast and this looks like an engaging, tense adventure. I'm all in.

The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (Theaters): The Looney Tunes are back on the big screen with a new, screwball adventure. If you're a fan of this kind of entertainment, this will be a welcome addition and should be some classic, family-friendly entertainment.

The Legend of Ochi (Theaters): This is another family-friendly offering dealing with a young girl and some magical creatures. It has a good voice cast, including Willem Dafoe and Emily Watson. This could be worth checking out.

The Gorge (Apple TV+): This is about two young people falling in love on a dangerous assignment. The cast features Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy in a film directed by Scott Derrickson. Color me intrigued.

Broncos Draft Targets

Image
  The NFL Draft is just a few days away. On April 25, the Denver Broncos will head into the draft in the midst of something of a rebuild. In the draft, the Broncos have the No. 12 pick in Round 1, then have a Third Round Pick, Fourth Round Pick, three Fifth Round Picks, a Sixth Round Pick, and a Seventh Round Pick. So, what might they be targeting? Let's dive in and look at possible positions. Quarterback : The team clearly needs a long-term quarterback. Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci are there but the team could certainly use someone else. Could they move up for Drake Maye or J.J. McCarthy? Yes, they could. Will the take Bo Nix at 12? It's possible. Or will the Broncos wait until next off-season to make a move? Anything is in play for the Broncos in 2024, but quarterback is surely a need. Tight End: The team brought back Adam Trautman and still has Greg Dulcich, but it's still a need. Dulcich hasn't been able to get on the field and Trautman hasn't been great. Co...

Favorite Westerns, No. 43

Image
  Do you like a good Western? It's a classic genre in film and this year I've decided to look at some of my favorite Westerns. So, join me each Friday as I count down my favorite Westerns from No. 50 to No. 1. Rooster Cogburn : [ watching Mattie ford the river hanging on the back of her horse] By God. She reminds me of me. True Grit (1969) Starring : John Wayne, Kim Darby, Glen Campbell, Robert Duvall, and Dennis Hopper Director : Henry Hathaway About: This is the third straight week with a film from Wayne. As you might guess, we're not done. As I've mentioned, he sets a standard for the genre. Here, we seen him bring to life an iconic character. This one is based on a novel, and it has endured. He's great as Rooster Cogburn, so good that he got a sequel in the same character. But this is a later film in his career. This is a different, more grizzled Wayne. He's still quite good and this is a film that really has stood the test of time. It's not the only ve...

Favorite Westerns, No. 37

  Do you like a good Western? It's a classic genre in film and this year I've decided to look at some of my favorite Westerns. So, join me each Friday as I count down my favorite Westerns from No. 50 to No. 1.  Peter Gordon: When my father passed, I wanted nothing more than my mother's happiness. For what kind of man would I be if I did not help my mother? If I did not save her? The Power of the Dog (2021) Starring : Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Jesse Plemons Director: Jane Campion About : Another modern entry, and another unconventional choice for this list, perhaps. This is a quiet and pensive story, but it certainly captures the brutality and struggle of the western genre. Campion does a beautiful job of laying out this story and world. The cinematography here works well to build the story and the vibe of the production. That's one of the things that stuck out to me. In addition, the film features some great performances from all four ...
