In Theaters: January 12, 2018

This week there are THREE wide releases.

The Commuter


Liam Neeson is doing an action movie.  How novel.

The Commuter is about a guy just riding the train home when some lady tells him about some plot that involves some danger to some people.  And the guy has to do something about it.  I don't know, man, these Liam Neeson action movies are getting as bland as horror movies.

The Commuter is rated PG-13 for some intense action/violence, and language.

Paddington 2


There's something admirably straightforward and honest about a sequel with a numeral instead of a subtitle.  Too many times it's "The Dark World" this and "Ghost Protocol" that when a simple number will do.

In Paddington 2 our main character gets framed for a robbery he didn't commit.  And of course our band of friends must come together to rescue him!  Hugh Grant plays the villain.

Like the first one, it seems to rely on the charm of the characters rather than two hours of gags like most children's movies.  Of course, the Paddington character is very conducive to good gags.

Paddington 2 is rated PG for some action and mild rude humor.

Proud Mary


I feel obligated to pick up the slack of the marketing people and tell you this film is not set in the 70's.

Turn Atomic Blonde into a blaxploitation film and you're close.  Sigh.  In retrospect, I was too hard on Atomic Blonde.  At least its lead actress didn't have a chip on her shoulder the size of Pluto.

Have you ever heard of little man syndrome?  You know, when a short guy drives a giant lifted truck?  It's a bit of an inferiority complex.  Well a lot of women filmmakers have an inferiority complex about action movies.  That's the best way I can say it.  And until they drop their insecurities, we're gonna get a steady stream of garbage like this.

Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot are two women that obviously don't have this inferiority complex.  Guess what movie they made.



By the way, Proud Mary is about a hitman for the Boston underworld who meets a kid and changes her ways or something.

Proud Mary is rated R for violence.
