Addicted
You may have noticed that this poster is in Spanish. This is because the poster released here in the states is inappropriate.
It's a movie about an affair. Normally I would dismiss this as stupid, but this movie takes the (true) angle that affairs DESTROY marriages, families, and careers. For some reason I appreciate that in a movie today.
The main character is a woman who works with artists. She begins an affair with one of them and her life begins to fall apart. The question is will she give up her addiction in time to heal the life she let go?
Addicted is rated R for strong sexual content, nudity, language and brief drug use.
I don't recommend seeing this movie, but I'm glad they are showing infidelity for what it is.
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
I don't understand the point of this movie but I will try my best to explain what I know.
Alexander is seen at the bottom left of the poster. He is a middle child in a normal family. He has bad days all the time. The rest of his family has a bad day and I guess he somehow helps them through it while they get a glimpse into his life.
Why not?
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is rated PG for rude humor including some reckless behavior and language.
Dracula Untold
I'm already sold on this one. It looks awesome. I like the name. I like Luke Evans. It looks sweet.
Word on the street is that between this and the wolfman and mummy reboots Universal might be putting together a franchise of sorts. They own the rights to pretty much every classic monster movie. So this could be like the first Iron Man. The first in a MAJOR franchise and no one really knows it when it comes out. Now that I think about it the PG-13 rating for a movie about Dracula is consistent with this theory. It looks like it could have easily been R. But if you want a big franchise it's gotta be PG-13.
MONSTERS ASSEMBLE!
Dracula Untold is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of warfare, vampire attacks, disturbing images, and some sensuality
NOTE: This is the first time I've noticed the MPAA using an oxford comma. Fascinating.
The Judge
This might be this year's first major offering of "oscar bait."
Robert Downey Jr. is a big time criminal defense lawyer. His mother dies so he returns to his hometown and his estranged father, who is played by Robert Duvall. It turns out his father is accused of murder (not sure if he's accused of killing his wife or not). So Robert Downey Jr. steps in to defend his father. Oh, and his father is the title character. His father is a judge in the small hometown.
We have been hearing about this one for a long time now. Interestingly, director David Dobkin is known for raunchy comedy movies; mostly R-rated raunchy comedies. He directed Wedding Crashers. That is so strange to me.
The Judge is rated R for language including some sexual references.
Meet the Mormons (limited release)
I'm Mormon. But I'm not in this documentary.
This movie was commissioned by the leadership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It was originally intended to only be viewed in certain theaters located in Visitor's Centers of Mormon Temples and other such places, but it is now going into a limited release for one week or more, depending on performance.
Also, all profits from the box office go to charity. And I can assure you that when the Mormon church says all profits go to charity they mean ALL profits go to charity. None of this Ice Bucket Challenge crap.

I'm kidding, I'm kidding!
