In Theaters: November 13, 2015

There are three wide releases this weekend.

The 33

The 33 is a dramatization of the true story of 33 miners that were trapped in a mine in 2010.  The story made worldwide news and all 33 miners were eventually saved (spoiler alert).

The 33 is rated PG-13 for a disaster sequence and some language.

Love the Coopers

You know those movies that try to glorify dysfunctional family situations?  This could be one of those, I'm not sure.  I've watched the trailers and the target audience is definitely the same people that see those kinds of movies, but nothing really indicated that it was glorifying dysfunction.  But it is definitely a comedy centered around family and the odd situations families can get in.  Approach with caution.

Love the Coopers is rated PG-13 for thematic elements, language and some sexuality.

My All American

And Aaron Eckhart has officially started the rounds in the inspirational independent movie circuit.  For whatever reason that guy has never been able to lead a movie by himself.

Anyway, My All American is about a football player living in what looks like the sixties who gets a scholarship to play for Aaron Eckhart at University of Texas.  Apparently he gets an injury and plays through it.  Honestly the trailer didn't show much anything to suggest any serious conflict.  But every movie has to have conflict and the only one it showed was a leg injury.

The trailer didn't impress me very much.  Just go see The Martian again this weekend if you're going to the theater.  It's still gonna be the best thing playing, I think.
