In Theaters: July 4th, 2014

There are three wide releases this week and ALL are opening on Wednesday, July 2nd.

Deliver Us From Evil (Wednesday)


From veteran horror director Scott Derrickson comes my pick for the best horror movie of the year.  But it's rated R and I don't go for that sort of thing so I will not be seeing it.  But I'll still tell you a little bit about it.

By the looks of it this one doesn't go for outrageous gore or stupid stuff like that.  It goes for good ol' psychological horror - the best kind.  That's my kind of horror movie.

Deliver Us From Evil is rated R for bloody violence, grisly images, terror throughout, and language.

Maybe I spoke too soon about this one not including outrageous gore.  I only read the rating information as I was typing it.

Earth to Echo (Wednesday)


Found footage has finally found its way into kids' movies (I had to do it, I'm sorry).  It is my personal opinion that found footage worked once.  Ever.  And that was in 1999.  I don't like it, but it's cheap so it's gonna stick around.

This is about some kids who make contact with an alien robot.  The robot is friendly and it wants to go home.  They try to help while the big bad adults try to capture the robot.  Will Lil' John Boyega and his friends be able to save their new friend?  I don't know.  And, tragically, I don't care.

Earth to Echo is rated PG for some action and peril, and mild language.  It is also Dave Green's feature film directorial debut.

Tammy (Wednesday)


I don't like Melissa McCarthy.  I find her annoying.  I haven't even watched a single trailer for this movie.  I'll attempt that now.

Well I made it through.  That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!  Okay so the main character (Tammy) is down on her luck and just needs to get away for a while (or something).  Her and her grandmother (portrayed by Susan Sarandon) take a drive to Niagara Falls.  I guess somewhere in there they do funny things.

Tammy is the directorial debut of Ben Falcone who is best known for voicing Henery Hawk on the The Looney Tunes Show or for playing a character called Howard on the short-lived Friends spinoff, Joey.  Take your pick.

Tammy is rated R for language including sexual references.
