DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: RODRICK RULES
Starring: Zachary Gordon, Robert Capron, Rachael Harris,
Devon Bostick & Steve Zahn
Directed by David Bowers for distribution by 20th
Century Fox
The Plot: The parents of
two feuding brothers try to keep the peace by having them try and spend quality
time bonding.
The Final Word: Jeff Kinney’s
“Diary Of A Wimpy Kid” book series have sold over 40 million copies, which in
today’s Hollywood almost guarantees a movie adaptation. The first film, which
was released around this time last year, had an impressive opening weekend and
made back all of its money in just three days. Now comes the next installment
in the series and I honestly really curious if they can repeat the success of
the original.
SUCKER PUNCH
Starring: Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie
Cornish, Jamie Chung,
Jena Malone, Carla Gugino, Jon Hamm, Oscar Isaac
& Scott Glenn
Directed by Zach Synder for distribution by Warner
Brothers
The Plot: Locked away in
an asylum against her will, a young girl (Browning) enlists the help of four of
her fellow captives to escape from their prison and enter a fantasy world of
warfare.
The Final Word: Let’s be honest,
you can’t really summarize this movie’s plot. I’m not even sure I did it
anywhere near justice, but the basic idea is hot girls kicking the ever loving
hell out everything and everyone in their way; in IMAX. Directed by Zach
Snyder, the man working with Christopher Nolan’s on the next “Superman”
re-boot, this fantasy action flick is the type of movie fanboys go crazy over
and with good reason. It has a smoking hot cast and basically a release date
almost entirely to itself.
