Paranorman
– Norman is a outcast young man who can see ghosts who then has to take on a zombie invasion. This will be in 3D and is probably one of the only ones that’s actually worth it. It’s also the first stop-motion movie to use 3D color printing for the faces.
– Stars Kodi Smit-McPhee, Tucker Albrizzi, Anna Kendrick, Casey Affleck, John Goodman, Leslie Mann, Jeff Garlin, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Elaine Stritch. Directed by Sam Fell and Chris Butler. Rated PG.
Odd Life of Timothy Green
– A childless couple is unable to conceive (and don’t/can’t adopt?) so they write all their wishes for what they wish for in a child and then bury them in the backyard. Lo and behold a 10-year-old child (with vines around his ankles) show up at their door claiming to be there son.
– Stars Jennifer Garner, Joel Edgerton, CJ Adams, Ron Livingston, Dianne Wiest, Odeya Rush, Rosemarie DeWitt, Lin-Manuel Miranda, M.Emmet Walsh, Lois Smith, and Common. Directed by Peter Hedges. Rated PG.
The Expendable 2
If you thought the last movie was a whose who of action movie stars, then this one is even more action-y-ier then the first. Not sure if because of the success of the first one that more stars where interested in participating in this one since they were able to add EVEN MORE big name action stars to this one. Apparently Van Damme is the bad guy and kills one of the team. They get more guys.
– Stars Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Chuck Norris, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Liam Hemsworth, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Directed by Simon West. Rated R.
Sparkle
– This is the last movie with Whitney Houston before she died. I don’t know if that’s why I’ve never even heard of this movie before now. This is a remake of a film from 1976. But I had to double check to see if this was even a wide release or not and to my shock it is. It could just be that I’m outside the main demographic but I’ve seen NO marketing or anything to do with this movie until now. I’m curious to see how it does in the Box Office. A family struggles as they try to make it in the Motown era.
– Stars Jordin Sparks, Whitney Houston, Derek Luke, Mike Epps, Carmen Ejogo, Tika Sumpter, Omari Hardwick, Tamela Mann, Brely Evans, and Cee Lo Green. Directed by Salim Akil. Rated PG-13.
