In Theaters: April 6, 2018

There are four wide releases this weekend.

Blockers


Just so we're clear, a cock blocker is someone who disrupts or interrupts someone's romantic efforts with another person.  This disruption can be intentional or not.

Blockers is about three separate parents who find out their high school age children are intent on being poorly behaved on Prom night.  They band together to be "Blockers".

Blockers is rated R for crude and sexual content, and language throughout, drug content, teen partying, and some graphic nudity.

Chappaquiddick


Chappaquiddick is the name of a small island in Massachusetts.  There was an incident there in 1969 involving Senator Ted Kennedy and criminal negligence resulting in the death of a twenty eight year old woman.  This was obviously a giant political mess for the Kennedy family.

This could make for a very interesting movie.  Jason Clarke has the skills (he plays Ted Kennedy).  Or it could be dreadfully boring, hard to tell.

Chappaquiddick is rated PG-13 for thematic material, disturbing images, some strong language, and historical smoking.

The Miracle Season


A women's high school volleyball team wins state titles two years in a row and then their star player dies in a car wreck.  Can they come together, find inspiration, find the drive, and win again?

P.S. It's a true story.

I'll be honest, I think this one looks kinda half-baked.

The Miracle Season is rated PG for some thematic elements.

A Quiet Place


I think this horror movie could be the best in decades.  No, you don't need to adjust your television, America.  Big Shot Critic did just endorse a horror movie.

A Quiet Place caught everybody's attention with an irresistible premise: silence is survival.  There are monsters that hunt by sound.  As long as you're quiet you're safe.  Needless to say, this has A TON of potential for some real high tension.  I'm excited.

It looks solid, and the early reviews are saying it's really something special.  One for the ages, even.  It's also John Krasinski's directorial debut, as he stars alongside his real life wife, Emily Blunt.

A Quiet Place is rated PG-13 for terror and some bloody images.
