Movie addicts like us got a vacation last week as no new movies opened in theaters.
It ended up being a rather weak weekend with Breaking Dawn holding the top spot for the third week in a row but with 60.3% loss from the week prior.
This weekend two new movies open and one other gets an expansion to a wide release.
The Sitter
This is your last chance to see Jonah Hill as we all know him, before his dramatic weight loss which will first be seen in 2012’s 21 Jump Street. His character in this movie seems like an older version of his character Seth in Superbad meets Adventures in Babysitting plus lots of R-rated humor.
It’s another David Gordon Green directed comedy, so if you’ve been a fan of his other movies, like Pineapple Express or Your Highness, you should be into this.
The Descendants
This movie has been running the indie circuit for 3 weeks now, but is getting a full expansion this weekend. With a 90% score on Rotten Tomatoes it seems to be like a real winner if you enjoy a comedic drama or George Clooney. Clooney plays a father going through life altering circumstances. We’ve heard that it can be pleasantly humorous at times but with emotional depth that can spring a few tears.
New Year’s Eve
We never caught the predecessor to this movie, Valentine’s Day, but it can be assumed that this will be more of the same (whatever that was). Sorry, we’re not much help here…Still, if you’re into intersecting love stories, we recommend Love Actually (which is holiday themed) or Paris, Je T’aime.
Planning to see any of these? Let us know what you thought or opinions about any other recent movies!
