Spring Breakers

In Movie Theaters March 15, 2013

From the director of one of the worst movies ever made, Gummo.
Four college girls who land in jail after robbing a restaurant in order to fund their spring break vacation find themselves bailed out by a drug and arms dealer who wants them to do some dirty work.
Destined to become another box office bomb for horrible filmmaker Harmony Korine, and the fledgling movie studio A24, featuring a wiggered out James Franco (gross).
A24 decided to release Spring Breakers on March 15, 2013, because James Franco's Oz, The Great And Powerful will be the #1 movie in theaters.
STARRING: James Franco, Selena Gomez
DIRECTED BY: Harmony Korine
STUDIO: A24
RATING: R (For violence, nudity, drug use, language, sexual situations)

Oz, The Great And Powerful (2013)

In Movie Theaters March 8, 2013

Sam Raimi, director of the three Spiderman movies from the early 2000s, starring Tobey Maguire, returns to the big screen with a fantastical movie depicting the origin of The Wizard of Oz.
Walt Disney's fantastical adventure Oz The Great and Powerful, directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved character, the Wizard of Oz.
When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot -- fame and fortune are his for the taking -- that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity -- and even a bit of wizardry -- Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.
STARRING: James Franco, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams, Abigail Spencer
DIRECTED BY: Sam Raimi
STUDIO: Walt Disney Pictures
RATING: PG (For adult themes, violence)

 

Emperor (2013)

In Movie Theaters March 8, 2013

Tommy Lee Jones's follow up to his potential Oscar winning Lincoln.
A gripping tale of love and honor forged between fierce enemies of war, the movie Emperor tells the story, inspired by true events, of the bold and secret moves that won the peace in the shadows of post-war Japan. Starring Academy Award-winner Tommy Lee Jones, Matthew Fox, and newcomer Eriko Hatsune, Emperor brings to life the American occupation of Japan in the perilous and unpredictable days just after Emperor Hirohito's World War II surrender. As General Douglas MacArthur (Tommy Lee Jones) suddenly finds himself the de facto ruler of a foreign nation, he assigns an expert in Japanese culture - General Bonner Fellers (Matthew Fox), to covertly investigate the looming question hanging over the country: should the Japanese Emperor, worshiped by his people but accused of war crimes, be punished or saved?
Poor Matthew Fox. He keeps plugging along. And studios keep hiring him even though he is untalented and has about as much charisma as a dead tadpole. This, Emperor, should be the final nail in his acting coffin, as it is going to be a huge box office bomb.
Tommy Lee Jones couldn't care less that Emperor will bomb. He continues to collect Oscar nominations, stars in AIG television commercials and can brag that he was the college roommate of Al Gore, all while in the throes of old age.
STARRING: Tommy Lee Jones, Matthew Fox

RATING: PG-13 (For violence, language, adult themes)

In Movie Theaters February 22, 2013

A movie based on the biggest selling Chicano novel of all time, which means that if anyone goes to this movie it will be primarily Latinos.
