January is always kind of a dud month, but February is where things really start to get interesting. There's Galentine's Day, Valentine's Day, hopefully some snow days, spring isn't too far off, and of course new movies and books. I'm having such a hard time trying to pick which books I want since I'm budgeting and can't get all of them. I'm also dying to see The LEGO Batman Movie!
MOVIES
The Space Between Us
An interplanetary adventure about a teenage boy named Gardner Elliot (Asa Butterfield), who was born and grew up on Mars. While searching for clues about his father and Earth, he begins an online friendship with Tulsa (Britt Robertson). Finally, Gardner gets a chance to visit Earth, but scientists discover his organs can't withstand the atmosphere.
I know this movie is probably going to be super cheesy, but it also looks really cute and I think the plot is fascinating. (February 3)
The LEGO Batman Movie
A somewhat sequel to The LEGO Movie, Batman is back for his own adventure. There are big changes brewing in Gotham and he wants to save his city from The Joker's hostile takeover, but he can't do it alone. Starring Will Arnett, Zach Galifianakis, Michael Cera, Rosario Dawson, and Ralph Fiennes.
Fist Fight
On the last day of the year, mild-mannered high school English teacher Andy (Charlie Day) has been trying to keep it together from senior pranks, a dysfunctional administration, and budget cuts, but things get really bad when he accidentally crosses a tough colleague, Ron Strickland (Ice Cube), who challenges him to a throwdown after school.
Who hasn't wanted to see their teachers get into a fist fight at some point? This looks really funny! (February 17)
Bitter Harvest
Bitter Harvest
This is a powerful story of love, honor, rebellion, and survival as seen through the eyes of two lovers caught in Stalin's genocidal policies against Ukraine in the 1930s. As Stalin advances, Yuri (Max Irons) battles to survive famine and imprisonment to save his childhood sweetheart Natalka (Samantha Barks).
I may not read historical fiction all that often, but I love watching it! This film looks emotional and moving and beautiful. (February 24)
