There is only one non-R wide release this weekend.
The House With A Clock In Its Walls
When I first heard the title I totally thought it was another lame horror movie.
This actually looks pretty good. Like, if I had kids and I could afford it I would take them to see it. That's how good it looks. Jack Black is as charismatic as ever, and who can argue with Cate Blanchett?
The House With A Clock In Its Walls is about a boy taken in by his uncle (Black (I mean, his uncle is played by Jack Black, not his uncle is black)), and it turns out his uncle is a warlock, and their neighbor (Blanchett) knows magic too. The previous owner of the house put a clock in its walls, and nobody knows what it does, but the previous owner was notoriously evil.
The House With A Clock In Its Walls is rated PG for thematic elements including sorcery, some action, scary images, rude humor and language.
P.S. I just noted this was directed by Eli Roth. He has more horror street cred than James Wan. This guy is legit. Him directing this is very reminiscent of when Martin Scorsece directed Hugo in 2011, which was another noted genre departure of a director to do a children's movie.
