An adorable bunny. Some evil spirits. A soldier who wakes up in someone else’s body. That’s what we’ve got in theaters this weekend. Let’s take a closer look…
Source Code. Jake Gyllenhaal stars in this action thriller about a soldier who wakes up in another guy’s body and discovers he’s part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train.
A serious glitch in the process occurs when he falls for a girl on the train, played by Michelle Monaghan. Yes, it’s ‘Strangers on a Train’ all over again. Well, sort of. Rated PG-13 for some violence, including disturbing images, and for language; directed by Duncan Jones; Summit Entertainment; 93 min.; official site; Facebook.
Hop. Russell Brand voices the part of the Easter Bunny … well, that is, the bunny who’s supposed to take over the job, but would rather go to Hollywood and be a drummer in a rock ‘n roll band. I can’t wait to see this movie! Rated PG for some mild rude humor; directed by Tim Hill; Universal Pictures; 95 minutes; official site. More clips and trailers here.
Insidious. Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne star in this thriller about a family looking to prevent evil spirits from trapping their comatose child in a realm called The Further. This movie just makes me wish ‘Damages’ hadn’t been canceled. Rated PG-13 (really?!) for thematic material, violence, terror, frightening images and brief strong language; directed by James Wan; FilmDistrict; 102 min.; official site; Facebook; Twitter.
Okay – HOP looks cute!
I’ll choose Hop. Who can resist that bunny’s face?
I’ll be seeing Hop today and will report back!
Son took his kids to see Hop! and said he enjoyed watching them enjoy it. (Which I take it means it may not be one of those kids movies that automatically appeals to adults.) But I do love that cartoon Bunny.
I can’t wait to read your review of Hop–that looks so cute. Insidious looks like Poltergeist to me–I still have nightmares about that one so it’s definitely a no from me.
