With a blockbuster foursome descending upon the box-office this weekend, striking across multiple genres–horror, children’s, thriller, detective–and bringing us some familiar faces (and voices) like Harrison Ford, Steve Martin, Will Ferrell and Beyonce Knowles, who knows what magic numbers will churn out this week? That combined with the heatin’-up Oscar race should lead to some very interesting results at the movie theaters this Valentine’s Week.
So we took to the streets to ask some folk what they were planning to see this weekend–and even later this week. Our first interviewee, Ydania, had already seen the movie of her choice, the Piper Perabo romantic comedy.
Let’s catch-up with the rest of our movie-goers and get a glimpse of what’s on their MUST SEE list and why!
Critic: Ydania Diaz
Movie: Imagine You & Me
Your Take: “It was a good movie to watch with friends… It was funny. Her real feelings came out… She was married but she loved a girl, though she was following her heart. I’ve known people with the same situation. It’s a good movie to watch.”
Critic: J.J. Franco
You’ll Next See: Freedomland with Samuel L. Jackson!
Because…: “Cause I think he always plays just about the same character, but it’s cool anyway, so…”
Critic: Wei Lin
You’re Seeing: Pink Panther
Because…: “I’ve always been a fan of the cartoon, The Pink Panther, and the main actor—he’s always hilarious, so I gotta see it.”
Critic: Gregory Audi
You’ll Next See: Freedomland
Because…: “Samuel L. Jackson is the S#!+!”

Critic: Kevin Manganaro
You’re Seeing: Capote
Because…: “I am seeing it because Philip Seymour Hoffman is supposed to be awesome! And it was nominated for all those Academy Awards, so I thought I should see it so I could be well-informed.”
Critics: Mia & Emme Andre
You’re Seeing: Curious George
Because…: Mia — “Because I read the book of it and I think it’s very good, so I want to go see the movie.”
Emme — “’Cause I think it’s SO good!”
Critic: Nick Molyviatis
You’re Seeing: Pink Panther, or Final Destination 3, or Firewall
Because… “Well, Pink Panther is the movie I’ve wanted to see, like, for months now… Firewall, because of Harrison Ford… And, Final Destination 3 because it’s the only teen horror movie I enjoyed in the past.
Who knows what will top the box office charts. We’ll see what’s going on next week when we hit the streets again—so LOOK OUT for us!
