Opening April 17
Welcome back to another week of movie-opening madness. Heeeeeere we go!
DISNEY & FRIENDS
17 Again
STARS > Zac Efron, Matthew Perry, Leslie Mann
DIRECTOR > Burr Steers
WHY SEE IT > We're much more stoked for Mr. Musical Zac Efron's Disney-breakway role in director Richard Linklater's Me And Orson Welles (which will hopefully come out sometime). Until then, we're curious to see how he does opposite such comedic giants as Chandler Bing. Check the trailer (if you've somehow managed to miss all the commercials). Huzzah!
SUPER CUTE LITTLE KID + SUPER CUTE ELDERY PEOPLE = SUPER, SUPER CUTE TEAR JERKER
Is Anybody There?
STARS > Michael Caine, Bill Milner
DIRECTOR > John Crowley
WHY SEE IT > I'm pretty darn sensitive when it comes to films. I mean, I even get teary during those Folgers' "Home For The Holidays" commercials, and the insurance ones (or is it investment firms?) with that one Five For Fighting song. I mean, it doesn't take much. So the mere premise of this film (a 10-year-old boy bonds with an elderly magician--the always stellar Michael Caine--who just moved into the old folks' home the boy's parents run) already has me reaching for the Kleenex. I haven't seen it, so I can't say for sure, but I'm guessing from the trailer it's gonna be a feel-good cry fest. Pack accordingly.
BIG-TIME NAMES, BIG-TIME ACTION, BIG-TIME GIRL CRUSH
State Of Play
STARS > Russell Crowe, Rachel McAdams, Ben Affleck
DIRECTOR > Kevin Macdonald
WHY SEE IT > Why not see it? It's got politics! Journalists! Intrigue! Murder! Suspense! Rachel McAdams! Forget Russell Crowe and Benny Affleck--I definitely have a bigger girl crush of Miss McAdams, and I'd happily see anything she's in. Decide for yourself.
ANOTHER SEQUEL. YAWN.
Crank: High Voltage
STARS > Jason Statham, Amy Smart, Clifton Collins Jr.
DIRECTORS > Mark Neveldine, Brian Taylor
WHY SEE IT > Uh, I didn't see the first one, so I really can't say. I can only imagine it has something to do with this, though:
FIRE UP THE NETFLIX
