The Boxtrolls
I really don't know what to say about this movie. I think it's worth a look if only because of its traditional claymation! At least we know a lot of care went into this movie. Early reviews are mostly positive.
The Boxtrolls is about an orphan raised by the title characters who sets out to save his surrogate family from an evil exterminator.
The Boxtrolls is rated PG for action, some peril and mild rude humor.
The Equalizer
We have been hearing about this one for a while now. We think it's a shame it's rated R.
Denzel Washington plays some former military type guy who really knows how to kick butt. He uses these skills like a one man A-Team. He helps people who can't help themselves.
Director Antoine Fuqua has had "from the director of Training Day" billed on the posters of his releases since 2003. That's rough. Hopefully he can escape his own shadow eventually.
The Equalizer is rated R for strong bloody violence and language throughout, including some sexual references.
The Song (Limited Release)
I wouldn't normally be mentioning this except that I watched the trailer today and it looks really good. Call me crazy.
The Song is about an aspiring country singer who meets, falls in love with, and marries a girl from a small town. After the wedding he writes "The Song" for her and it becomes a smash hit around the country, propelling him to fame and fortune. A good man is put to the test when the temptations of fame and fortune begin to circle around him, most notably the female country artist who opens for him on tour (the woman on right in the poster).
The Song is based on Songs of Solomon.
The Song is rated PG-13 for thematic elements including some substance abuse, smoking and rude references. I don't know what the heck a "rude reference" is.
