In Theaters: June 5, 2015

There are THREE wide releases this weekend.

Entourage



I have heard of a TV show called Entourage for eleven years now, and I didn't even know what channel it aired on until today.

Entourage was a show on HBO that ran from 2004 to 2011.  It was about a successful actor from Queens, New York, and his group of friends as they adjust to life in Los Angeles.  I've only ever heard of it because they've been trying to get a movie off the ground for probably five years now.  Here it is!

Early reviews are pretty bad.  It has a 29% on Rotten Tomatoes as of this post.

Entourage is rated R for pervasive language, strong sexual content, nudity and some drug use.

Insidious Chapter 3


So it turns out there was an Insidious 2.  Who knew?  The Insidious movies are the heavy hitters of horror these days.  The first one came out in 2011 and led the whole horror genre away from the "torture porn" era marked by Saw movies.  This is a very good thing, as horror had become little more than extreme violence with a paper thin script.  So bring on more Insidious!  What's this one about?  Let's see.

I'm pretty sure this one is about, um, evil spirits?  Or, like, haunted stuff maybe?  Anyway, one thing is for sure.  There are only three I's in the word "insidious" so they're gonna have to really step up their number incorporation game if they make a fourth one.

Insidious Chapter 3 is rated PG-13 for violence, frightening images, some language and thematic elements.

Spy


Let's review.  Sure, Paul Feig directed Bridesmaids and The Heat.  He has made a name for himself in R-rated comedies.  So if you like those, you'll probably like this.  But be warned: Paul Feig is also the one who started this strange all female Ghostbusters reboot idea.  Very strange.

Also, I find Melissa McCarthy mostly annoying.  I'm warming up to her though.

As for the premise, the poster kinda says it all.  Melissa McCarthy works for the CIA as a pencil pusher but she is needed in the field.

Spy is rated R for language throughout, violence, and some sexual content including brief graphic nudity.
