Three movies are opening in theaters this weekend–a political drama, a super stylized action, and a sorry excuse for a comedy!

Immortals

This movie is a combination of the look of 300 with 3D depicting a huge mythological battle. The director Tarsem Singh had this to say about the film: “It’s turning into, basically, Caravaggio meets Fight Club. It’s a really hardcore action film done in Renaissance painting style.” Pretty nuts, huh? I guess it’s still up in the air whether this will be a fun, action flick about the gods (Thor) or just another  effects-ed up, stylized, 3D wannabe blockbusters (The Three Musketeers).

Jack & Jill

Can we all agree this looks terrible? This movie must be proof that Adam Sandler is taking bets from his friends about whether he can make money off of the worst ideas they can think of after a few beers.

J. Edgar

This biopic follows J. Edgar Hoover, the first Director of the FBI, in both the political and personal world where he was rumored to be a closeted homosexual. The reviews for this seem to be mixed, with performances being mostly praised while the script seeming lackluster. This surprised me, since the screenwriter, Dustin Lance Diamond, also wrote Milk, winning his the Oscar for original screenplay. With a running time that goes way overboard, this may be one to skip.

Opening at The Charles

Like Crazy

We caught a screener of this last week. If you’re into slowburning romance stories with a bit of cutesy and handheld camera work, you’re in luck! Anton Yelchin and a brilliant Felicity Jones star as two college students who fall for each other until Jones overstays her student visa and is stuck in Britain. All of the difficulties that come with a long-distance relationship are explored, but if you’ve ever been in any sort of serious relationship you’ll most likely connect with this story. It doesn’t necessarily conquer any new ground, but it is a romantic dramedy that’s far removed from Katherine Heigl.
