The Wolfman, Valentine's Day, Percy Jackson, Creation, The Messenger




Film Geek Central show

Summary: Love is in the air. Well, at least a little. Actually, this week at Film Geek Central we have love, rampaging werewolves, Greek gods and the evolution of life as we know it. Things get hairy as the long-awaited remake THE WOLFMAN finally arrives. It's not been an easy road for the screen's most iconic werewolf, but he's here bringing Benecio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins and Emily Blunt with him. We're really looking forward to this one. The only romantic comedy coming out this Valentine's Day is the appropriately-named VALENTINE'S DAY. This ensemble film is from director Garry Marshall of PRETTY WOMAN and PRINCESS DIARIES fame and features a cast full of young stars and established talents. PERCY JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF is an attempt to get another HARRY POTTER-like franchise off the ground and they aren't taking any chances. The books are extremely popular, they got the director of the first two POTTER films and the ads have subtle nods to the world's most famous wizard. This film features a kid who discovers he's the son of the Greek god Poseidon. I guess you could call CREATION a romance as well, but it's one that focuses on more spiritual questions. It follows Charles Darwin as he publishes his revolutionary theories and the rift it creates between him and his devoutly religious wife. THE MESSENGER is a critically-acclaimed film from last year. It follows the war at home as one soldier becomes involved with the wife of another soldier who was killed in action. Ben Foster, Woody Harrelson and Jena Malone are among the stars. All this plus film news and our DVD Picks of the Week! Hope you see you there, Film Geeks!
