In Theaters: January 22, 2016

There are three wide releases this weekend!

The 5th Wave


These are teen movies now.  For the last eight years teen movies have been taken over and are now synonymous with YA novel adaptations.

The 5th Wave stars Chloe Moretz, who is easily the most interesting young actress right now.  She can act.  She's good.  We aren't worried about her.  She will have a bright career whether or not this film succeeds.

As I understand it this movie is about the end of a long term alien invasion of Earth.  There are waves, and each is designed to kill more of the native population (humans).

The 5th Wave is rated PG-13 for violence and destruction, some sci-fi thematic elements, language and brief teen partying.

Who doesn't like a good brief teen party every now and again?

The Boy


It's a horror movie and if you've read anything on this blog you know I think horror movies are 99% stupid.  This is not the 1%.

The boy is a doll and the doll is haunted and it torments/haunts/spooks/creeps out some people.  It's the same old stuff.

The Boy is rated PG-13 for violence and terror, and for some thematic material.

Dirty Grandpa


I really don't know what to say about this one.  It's a raunch comedy through and through, and I'm not into those either.  I don't find them funny.  Some of them look funny.  This one doesn't.  And I say that in spite of the fact that I actually approve of Zac Efron and I like Robert De Niro.

Dirty Grandpa is rated R for crude sexual content throughout, graphic nudity, and for language and drug use.
