In Theaters: February 5, 2016

There are three wide releases this weekend.

The Choice

Another dumb romance movie from that same dumb author who wrote all those other dumb romance movies.  But I like the lead actor.

Oh, and Superman is in it.  He got fat.

Superman got fat.

The Choice is rated PG-13 for sexual content and some thematic issues.

Hail, Caesar!

Hail, Caesar! could easily be the best movie of 2016, and will almost certainly be the best comedy of 2016.  This has LOADS of potential.

Hail, Caesar! is written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen.  Other movies they have written and directed include, but are not limited to:

Raising Arizona

Fargo

The Big Lebowski

O Brother, Where Art Thou?

No Country for Old Men

Burn After Reading

True Grit

and Inside Llewyn Davis

Basically they're a big deal.  And we can all agree that O Brother, Where Art Thou? is one of a kind.  Expect Hail, Caesar to be much along the same lines and flavor.

Hail, Caesar! is about the movie business in the 1950's.  George Clooney plays a movie star that gets kidnapped.  It's basically a screwball comedy.

Hail, Caesar is rated PG-13 for some suggestive content and smoking.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Yes, you read that right.  Do not adjust your television sets, America.  That's the real title.

Just take the original Pride and Prejudice and stuff in some zombies.  Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.  It's that simple.  It's that stupid.  In my opinion, anyway.

As a novel this idea works fine (the movie is based on a novel of the same name).  But as a movie?  I don't think it's going to work.  I really don't.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is rated PG-13 for zombie violence and action, and brief suggestive material.

I will go see Hail, Caesar! this weekend.  What'll it be for you?
