In Theaters: September 1, 2017

There are TWO wide releases this weekend.

Close Encounters Of The Third Kind
(2017 Re-Release)

I'm not sure whose cash grab this is.  I don't think it's Spielberg's.  Maybe Sony's?

Honestly, this is a pretty smart cash grab, as cash grabs go.  I don't know if you've heard, but the box office has been in a real slump lately, so it's the perfect time for moves like this.  They literally couldn't have picked a better weekend.  Because it's gonna be SLOW.

I admit here and now that I have never seen Close Encounters.  I never really wanted to see it.  I'm more a fan of that other science fiction movie that came out in 1977.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind is rated PG.  They didn't offer ratings information back then, but when it went back to theaters for its twentieth anniversary it was rated PG for intense sci-fi action, and thematic elements.

Tulip Fever

Alicia Vikander turns one too many heads in seventeenth century Amsterdam.

The premise is really simple.  A beautiful orphan marries a wealthy aristocrat.  It's a loveless marriage, and when the man commissions a painter to do a portrait of himself and his wife, the painter and the wife become romantically involved.

Tulip Fever is rated R for sexual content and nudity.
