The Boy Next Door
Basically a movie about the living hell that comes as a direct result of a moment of promiscuity.
Jennifer Lopez is a married woman with a family and she experiences a lapse in good judgment and a tryst with the boy next door. She regrets it and tries to move past it while he becomes obsessed with her. You see the problem.
The Boy Next Door is rated R for starring John Corbett.
Okay it's actually rated R for violence, sexual content/nudity and language.
Mortdecai
David Koepp has been writing blockbusters for decades now, but every now and then he sneaks his way into the director's chair and has a go at it.
I don't know if audiences will really turn up for this one.
Johnny Depp plays Mortdecai, an international art dealer. He is asked by the British government to track down a stolen painting and recover it for them. It's an action comedy.
It seems idiotic to not shoot for a PG-13 rating on a movie like this, but in any case Mortdecai is rated R for some language and sexual material.
Strange Magic
George Lucas had an idea for a story. A movie was made from that story, and it is being released on Friday under the title Strange Magic.
I guess it's about a bunch of different mythical creatures who all get wrapped up in a conflict over a magic potion. At least the animation looks really good. And it's the only new release this weekend that isn't rated R.
Strange Magic is rated PG for some action and scary images.
Big Shot Critic
Red Army (Honorable Mention)
This is a limited release documentary. It's a look at the Cold War through the lens of ice hockey, and the "Red Army" hockey team that dominated it for decades.
Honorable mention because Werner Herzog is an executive producer, and it looks downright fascinating besides.
It will be in two theaters in New York and one in Los Angeles on Friday. It will play somewhere in the Phoenix area starting February 13th.
Red Army is rated PG for thematic material and language.
