In Theaters: August 10, 2018

There are four wide releases this weekend.

The Meg


Not much to tell here.  It's a really big shark, basically.  A megalodon (Meg) turns up alive and starts attacking people.  Megolodons were real creatures that lived millions of years ago.  Basically 60' sharks.  For comparison, great white sharks get to about 20'.  Oh, and Jason Statham is the hero.

The Meg is rated PG-13 for action/peril, bloody images and some language.

Dog Days (Wednesday release)


This is like every inspirational dog movie rolled into one.  I have no idea what it's about.  One dog gets lost and found, one dog brings a family together, one dog is rescued out of the trash, one character volunteers at a dog shelter and finds fulfillment, the dog shelter has to throw a fundraiser to stay open, one guy has to dogsit a dog that is challenging.  It is seriously all over the place.  It's just throwing inspirational dog-related nonsense at the audience to see what sticks.  Surely one or two of the 20,000 subplots will tug at your heartstrings, right??

Dog Days is rated PG for rude and suggestive content, and for language.

BlacKkKlansman


So this looks kinda funny.  It's a comedy (probably with some serious dramatic elements) about a black officer in the 70's who leads an undercover operation into the KKK.  Apparently it's based on a true story.

BlacKkKlansman is rated R for language throughout, including racial epithets, and for disturbing/violent material and some sexual references.

Slender Man


Just don't.  This is how out of gas the horror genre is.  Slender Man originated as an internet creation in a forum.  Basically a scary story that got shared around and became popular.  So this is literally fan fiction on the big screen, sorta like Fifty Shades.  But if I had to pick one to watch I'd pick Slender Man in a heartbeat, amazingly.

Slender Man is rated PG-13 for disturbing images, sequences of terror, thematic elements and language including some crude sexual references.
