New Releases for the week of 8/19/2008

According to the MPAA, there will be six new releases for the week of August 19, 2008.

Death Race. Rated R for strong violence and language.


Hamlet 2. Rated R for language including sexual references, brief nudity and some drug content.


The House Bunny. Rated PG-13 for sex-related humor, partial nudity and brief strong language.


I.O.U.S.A.. Rated PG for some thematic elements.



The Longshots. Rated PG for some thematic elements, mild language and brief rude humor.


The Rocker. Rated PG-13 for drug and sexual references, nudity and language.
The Rocker


This week will probably go to either The Rocker or Death Race. If I had to choose, I would go with The Rocker simply because they are marketing to little kids and a lot of parents will just trust that Nickelodeon wouldn't steer them wrong. The Longshots might also make a strong showing, but part of me doubts it. DoughBoy has turned into Morris Buttermaker, weird. I look forward to watching that movie when it comes to cable. The movie that should be at the top of the list (of the entire week not just from the new releases) is I.O.U.S.A., but I would be surprised if it came anywhere near the Top 25 much less the Top 10.

New Movie Releases for 8/12/2008

According to the MPAA, there will be six new releases for week of August 5, 2008

Fly Me to the Moon 3-D. Rated G because all ages admitted.


Henry Poole Is Here. Rated PG for thematic elements and some language.


Mirrors. Rated R for strong violence, disturbing images, language and brief nudity.


Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Rated PG for sci-fi action violence throughout, brief language and momentary smoking.


Tropic Thunder. Rated R for pervasive language including sexual references, violent content and drug material.


Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Rated PG-13 for mature thematic material involving sexuality, and smoking.


I'm pretty sure that the massive marketing campaign (and the controversy of the Robert Downey Jr. blackface) will make Tropic Thunder the top movie out of this batch. However, don't underestimate the Star Wars geeks. Mirrors is a long shot, but I would keep an eye out for that one.

New movie releases for 8/5/2008

According to the MPAA, there will be six new releases for week of August 5, 2008

Beer for My Horses. Rated PG-13 for some violence, sexual humor and dialogue, language, drug content and brief nudity.



Bottle Shock. Rated PG-13 for brief strong language, some sexual content and a scene of drug use.



Elegy. Rated R for sexuality, nudity and language.



Hell Ride. Rated R for strong violence, sexual content including graphic nudity and dialogue, language and drug use.



Pineapple Express. Rated R for pervasive language, drug use, sexual references and violence.



The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. Rated PG-13 for mature material and sensuality.



I think that Pineapple Express will be the number one out of these movies. However, I will say this: Do Not Underestimate The Sisterhood. They just might surprise everybody. Another dark horse is the Toby Keith movie. He has a huge following and a lot of them just might step out to see him.

Like I said, I think that Pineapple Express will be the top movie, but I have heard some early mixed reviews of it, so it wouldn't be a complete surprise if one of the others take the weekly crown.

Cine-Rama Episode 11: Movie Playground

Hold onto your hats, kids! The Smash Factor on this episode is through the roof!

While Christian is away on assignment (ahem, being lazy) Keith is joined by Ryan King and Eric Martin of The Comics Playground podcast. Will the universe survive this shocking crossover? No . . . No, it won’t.

Anyway, they talk about The Incredible Hulk. This segues into discussion about the Hulk in comics and the new string of Marvel Studios movies. Plus, a special announcement!

New movie releases for 7/29/2008

According to the MPAA, there will be five new movies released for the week beginning 7/29/2008:

FROZEN RIVER. Rated R for some language.

MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN. Rated R for sequences of strong bloody gruesome violence, grisly images involving nudity, sexual content and language.

THE MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR. Rated PG-13 for adventure action and violence.

SIXTY SIX. Rated PG-13 for language, some sexual content and brief nudity.

SWING VOTE. Rated PG-13 for language.

I would be surprised if anything other than The Mummy is the big hit this week. By the way, when I say the number one movie when I make my predictions, I only mean out of the new releases. Last week some people thought I was wrong when The Dark Knight was the overall number one. I thought it would be X-Files, but I also wasn't surprised when Step Brothers took the weekly crown. I think that Swing Vote and possibly Midnight Meat Train will do respectable, neither of them had the marketing push behind them like The Mummy, so neither of them will pull a Step Brothers.

This week's new movie releases for 7/22/2008

According to the MPAA, there will be five new movies released for the week beginning July 22, 2008:

AMERICAN TEEN.  Rated PG-13 for some strong language, sexual material, some drinking and brief smoking--all involving teens.

 
BRIDESHEAD REVISITED.  Rated PG-13 for some sexual content.

BOY A.  Rated R for language, sexuality, some disturbing content and brief drug use.

STEP BROTHERS.  Rated R for crude and sexual content, and pervasive language.

THE X-FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE.  Rated PG-13 for violent and disturbing content and thematic material.

Unlike most weeks, I don't think there is a clear cut winner.  While my head is telling me that The X-Files will take the week, a part of me thinks that Step Brothers will make a very strong showing.  After all of the mega block buster action films that have come out this summer (a new one every week), people might be ready for a stupid brainless Will Ferrell movie.
