Midnight Sun
Teen romance movies are rarely recommended on this blog, but this one looks all right.
Surprisingly, it is not based on a romance novel. It is based on a 2006 Japanese film of the same name.
Midnight Sun is about a girl named Katie Price who suffers from xeroderma pigmentosum, a rare genetic condition that causes sunlight to be life-threatening to the sufferer. She stays inside and sleeps during the day, and goes out and sometimes performs music with her guitar at night. One night her street performance gains the attention of Charlie, a boy she has happened to lovingly gaze upon just about every day of her life for the last ten years as he walked home from school. They start going out. Will their romance last through the unique challenges they must face? Tune in to find out!
I think it looks kind of charming.
Midnight Sun is rated PG-13 for some teen partying and sensuality.
Pacific Rim Uprising
This is what the Transformers franchise would look like if it gave up on quality. Take a moment and think about what I just said, because I mean it.
This film's only chance is deep within the guilty pleasure zone. And, to be fair, it has a real chance there.
Pacific Rim Uprising is rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and some language.
Paul, Apostle of Christ
I suppose they have to specify "apostle of Christ" so as to distinguish from the 2011 comedy, "Paul", about an alien.
This movie is about a turbulent era of Christianity not long after Jesus was crucified. Jim Caviezel plays Luke (yes, that Luke) who is looking for the apostle Paul (Faulkner) so he can write about his teachings and ministry in order to better preserve Christianity itself. The Roman Empire makes life difficult for him in this effort.
Paul, Apostle of Christ is rated PG-13 for some violent content and disturbing images.
Sherlock Gnomes
If ever an entire feature film was (literally?) phoned-in, it's Sherlock Gnomes.
Don't go see it.
Sherlock Gnomes is rated PG for some rude and suggestive humor.
Seriously, I don't care if your children are screaming for you to take them to this movie - I don't even care if you promised to take them. Don't do it. Please don't do it.
Unsane
For some reason this Steven Soderbergh movie was shot on iPhones. Or maybe just one iPhone. No idea why, but it adds a bit of novelty.
Unsane is about a woman who thinks someone is stalking her, but it turns out she may be crazy. Or is she?
Unsane is rated R for disturbing behavior, violence, language, and sex references.
Isle Of Dogs (limited release)
The Wes Anderson fanboys would be up in arms if I didn't at least mention this one. So there. I mentioned it.
Isle Of Dogs is rated PG-13 for thematic elements and some violent images.
