REPUBLIBOT WEEKEND MOVIE PREVIEW: Movies Opening 4-16-10
Submitted by Republibot 1.0 on Fri, 04/16/2010 - 02:36Alright!! I am done apologizing. So I missed last week. Sue me. You aren’t my boss. You don't tell me what to do. You don't own me. I am Republibot 1.0. I am unique. And intermittently humorous. And occasionally charming. And stuff. So get off my back. But first, be sure to understand this one simple thing: I’ve not seen these movies, nor have I researched any of them. I am putting my trust in my former geek pop culture osmosis powers to help support my very transparently uninformed opionions. All of the film information presented here, including the plot summary, have been pulled from the Opening This Week page of IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/nowplaying/). This week we are previewing Kick-Ass, Death At A Funeral, and Exit Through the Gift Shop, amongst others.
Now, if it is perfectly okay with you, let’s continue this discussion after the jump.

REPUBLIBOT WEEKEND MOVIE PREVIEW: Movies Opening 4-2-10
Submitted by Republibot 1.0 on Fri, 04/02/2010 - 02:33Just to start off, I would like to apologize for missing last week. I had client in town on Thursday for my regular job and the day went long as well as Friday and by Saturday, I figured it was too late. But we are back this week, and what a week it is!! Well, not really, it is actually kinda mediocre, but it is thought that counts right?
First off, let’s get the small print out of the way: I’ve not seen these movies, nor have I researched any of them. I am putting my trust in my former geek pop culture osmosis powers to help support my very transparently uninformed opionions. All of the film information presented here, including the plot summary, have been pulled from the Opening This Week page of IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/nowplaying/). This week we are previewing Clash of the Titans, The Last Song, and Why Did I Get Married Too, amongst others.
Join us after the jump for more.

REPUBLIBOT WEEKEND MOVIE PREVIEW: Movies Opening 3-19-10
Submitted by Republibot 1.0 on Fri, 03/19/2010 - 01:18So, why is it that Day Light Savings time is in place for more of the year than Standard time? Wouldn’t it make sense at some point to just call Savings time Standard time since it is now the defacto Standard time anyway?
Now the boiler plate: I’ve not seen these movies, nor have I done any research. I trust in the ever faithful power of pop culture osmosis to inform these increasingly insightful opinions about films opening this weekend. All of the film information presented here, including the plot summary, have been pulled from the Opening This Week page of IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/nowplaying/). This week we are previewing The Bounty Hunter, Diary of A Wimpy Kid, and Repo Men, amongst others.
Let’s get this thing over with – after the jump...

REPUBLIBOT WEEKEND MOVIE PREVIEW: Movies Opening 3-05-10
Submitted by Republibot 1.0 on Fri, 03/05/2010 - 01:42Blergh… Kind of a mixed week this week. On one hand, genre-wise, a good 66% of the releases are near our sweet spot, on the other hand, only 3 movies are opening. But, such is life – you take a little of the good with a bit of the bad and get a tuna casserole. (I have no idea what that means, but it made sense when I wrote it 30 seconds ago.)
Anyway, let’s quickly get our disclaimer out of the way and dig in: I’ve very obviously not seen any of these movies, nor have I invested any effort into researching them. I am trusting in the universal power of pop culture osmosis to inform my admittedly clueless opinions. All of the film information presented here, including the plot summary, has been pulled from the Opening This Week page of IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/nowplaying/). This week we are previewing Alice In Wonderland, Brooklyn’s Finest, and the Secret of Kells.
So, without further ado, grab hold of my hand, close your eyes, take a deep breath and let’s make the jump…

REPUBLIBOT WEEKEND MOVIE PREVIEW: Movies Opening 2-26-10
Submitted by Republibot 1.0 on Fri, 02/26/2010 - 00:53Finally! A half-way decent week for new movies. It isn’t huge, but it is definitely a step in the right direction. I was starting to feel like I was stuck in a Russian love story – one in which passion is demonstrated by not speaking to each other in order to avoid finding out damning information that you could trade to the government in return for the basic necessities of life. Ahhhhh, romance.
Boilerplate disclaimer: I have not seen any of these movies, nor have I gone out of my way to research any of them. I am just passing mindless judgment on them. All of the film information presented here, including the plot summary, has been pulled from the Opening This Week page of IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/nowplaying/). This week we are previewing The Crazies, Cop Out, and Defendor, amongst others.
Very well then – let’s get started right after the jump.

REPUBLIBOT WEEKEND MOVIE PREVIEW: Movies Opening 2-19-10
Submitted by Republibot 1.0 on Fri, 02/19/2010 - 02:13Is February over yet? Honestly, will this winter ever end? Anyway, it looks like a pretty sparse movie going week on the Republibot Weekend Movie Preview. We only have one even remotely interesting movie opening. But first, a quick reminder: I have not seen any of these movies, nor have I researched any of them. The whole point of this weekly feature is for to pass judgment on films I have not yet seen. All of the film information presented here, including the plot summary, has been pulled from the Opening This Week page of IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/nowplaying/). This week we are previewing Shutter Island, The Ghost Writer and a couple of others that I don’t want to scroll down and copy and paste back up here…
So, if you are ready, let’s begin – right after the jump.

REPUBLIBOT WEEKEND MOVIE PREVIEW: Movies Opening 2-12-10
Submitted by Republibot 1.0 on Fri, 02/12/2010 - 01:17Hola!! This week on the Republibot Weekend Movie Preview we have some possibly interesting genre offerings at the old movie house. But before we jump in, let’s just get our standard reminder out of the way as quickly as possible so that we are all on the same page: I have not seen any of these movies, nor have I gone out of my way to do any research on any of them. The interesting part for me (and really, it is all about me…) is passing judgment on these films, sight unseen and completely by osmosis. All of the film information in these previews, including the plot summary, has been pulled from the Opening This Week page of IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/nowplaying/). This week we are previewing The Wolfman, Valentine’s Day, Percy Jackson, and My Name Is Khan…
And there we go, and here we go…

REPUBLIBOT WEEKEND MOVIE PREVIEW: Movies Opening 2-05-10
Submitted by Republibot 1.0 on Fri, 02/05/2010 - 00:36So here we are. There is you and here are me.
This week on the Republibot Weekend Movie Preview we have a relatively slow week, still, that doesn’t mean we won’t have fun together. All it takes is two – or at least one really dedicated individual…
As always though, before we get started, it is important to note that I don’t view these movies in advance, nor do I any research on any of them (what would be the fun in that, right?). I am just passing judgment sight unseen. All of the film information in these previews, including the plot summary, has been pulled from the Opening This Week page of IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/nowplaying/). This week we are previewing Dear John, and From Paris With Love – amongst others… So, jump on through and let’s get on with the fun…

We got a jim-dandy of an installment for you this week – we get to preview 2 big studio releases and two movies you have never heard of. It is going to be a blast. Honestly. I wouldn’t lie to you. Much.

I am basically just passing judgment on these films sight unseen. All of the film information in these previews, including the plot summary, has been pulled from the Opening This Week page of IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/nowplaying/).

REPUBLIBOT WEEKEND MOVIE PREVIEW: Movies Opening 1-22-10
Submitted by Republibot 1.0 on Fri, 01/22/2010 - 01:43And we’re back. Sorry, my holiday leave kept extending itself unitl R2 sat me down and said I had to get back to work or they would start to withhold my precious supply of spice from Arrakis ... Dune ... wasteland of the Empire, and the most valuable planet in the universe. It is important to note also that I‘m not really reviewing anything here. Unless stated otherwise I’ve not seen any of the movies in this ‘Preview’. I am really just thoughtlessly passing judgment on films that are scheduled to open this week and that I haven’t researched at all (well nothing purposefully, just what I come by in my normal weekly reading and that I retain). All of the film information in these previews, including the plot summary, has been pulled from the Opening This Week page of IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/nowplaying/). In this week’s installment we are taking quick looks at: Legion, Tooth Fairy, and Extraordinary Measures – amongst others…
Very well, let’s not wait another second then. Follow me to after the jump...
