Beer For My Horses
Rated PG-13, 93 minutes
Two buddies, Rack and Lonnie, have quietly been pursuing justice as deputies in a small Southern town. But when Rack's irresistible girlfriend is kidnapped by a particularly nasty drug lord as revenge for the arrest of his brother Tito, the duo decide to defy their boss, Sheriff Landry, and chase them down... by any means necessary. Rounding up the town's most off-beat lawman--Skunk Tarver, a defiantly silent man who chooses to use a bow n' arrow instead of a gun--they take off on a rip-roaring road trip with all the makings of a rollicking comic joyride that's not afraid to go over the top. Starring: Toby Keith, Ted Nugent, Kris Kristofferson, Barry Corbin, Greg Serano. Rated PG-13 for some violence, sexual humor and dialogue, language, drug content and brief nudity.
House Bunny
Rated PG-13, 98 minutes
Shelley Darlington has lived at the Playboy mansion for the last nine years. She is Hef's favorite and acts like a den mother to the other girls. On her birthday, she is unceremoniously evicted from Hef's pad for 'being too old.' Homeless and without essential skills, Shelley wanders around L.A. until she finds a new job--the housemother at the most unpopular sorority on campus. Starring: Anna Faris, Emma Stone, Rumer Willis, Kat Dennings, Katherine McPhee. Rated PG-13 for sex-related humor, partial nudity and brief strong language.
Eagle Eye
Rated PG-13
Two strangers become the pawns of a mysterious woman they have never met, but who seems to know their every move. Realizing they are being used to further her diabolical plot, they must work together to outwit the woman before she has them killed. Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence, and for language.
Righteous Kill
Rated R, 101 minutes
A pair of veteran New York City police detectives are on the trail of a vigilante serial killer. After 30 years as partners in the pressure cooker environment of the NYPD, highly decorated Detectives David Fisk and Thomas Cowan should be ready for retirement, but aren't. Before they can hang up their badges, they are called in to investigate the murder of a notorious pimp, which appears to have ties to a case they solved years before. Like the original murder, the victim is a suspected criminal whose body is found accompanied by a four line poem justifying the killing. When additional crimes take place, it becomes clear the detectives are looking for a serial killer, one who targets criminals that have fallen through the cracks of the judicial system. His mission is to do what the cops can't do on their own--take the culprits off the streets for good. The similarities between the recent killings and their earlier case raise a nagging question: Did they put the wrong man behind bars? Starring: Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, 50 Cent, Donnie Wahlberg, Carla Gugino. Rated R for violence, pervasive language, some sexuality and brief drug use.
My Best Friend’s Girl
Rated R, 103 minutes
Smart, beautiful and headstrong, Alexis is the girl of Dustin's dreams. But after only five weeks of dating, the love-struck Dustin is coming on so strong that Alexis is forced to slow things down--permanently. Devastated and desperate to get her back, Dustin turns to his best friend, Tank, the rebound specialist. A master at seducing--and offending--women, Tank gets hired by freshly dumped guys to take their ex-girlfriends out on the worst date of their lives--an experience so horrible it sends them running gratefully back to their beaus. But when Tank works his magic on Alexis, he ends up meeting the challenge of a lifetime. Alexis is the first girl who knows how to call his bluff, and Tank soon finds himself torn between his loyalty to Dustin and a strange new attraction to his best friend's girl. Starring: Dane Cook, Kate Hudson, Alec Baldwin, Jason Biggs, Lizzy Caplan. Rated R for strong language and sexual content throughout, including graphic dialogue and some nudity.
Tyler Perry’s the Family That Preys
Rated PG-13, 111 minutes
Wealthy socialite Charlotte Cartwright and her dear friend Alice Pratt, a working class woman of high ideals, have enjoyed a lasting friendship throughout many years. Suddenly, their lives become mired in turmoil as their adult children’s extramarital affairs, unethical business practices and a dark paternity secret threaten to derail family fortunes and unravel the lives of all involved. Alice’s self- centered newlywed daughter Andrea is betraying her trusting husband Chris by engaging in a torrid affair with her boss and mother’s best friend’s son William. While cheating on his wife Jillian with a string of ongoing dalliances with his mistress Andrea, William’s true focus is to replace the COO of his mother’s lucrative construction corporation. Meanwhile, Alice’s other daughter Pam, a kind but no nonsense woman married to a hard working construction worker, tries to steer the family in a more positive direction. While paternity secrets, marital infidelity, greed and unsavory business dealings threaten to derail both families, Charlotte and Alice decide to take a breather from it all by making a cross-country road trip in which they rediscover themselves and possibly find a way to save their families from ruin. Starring: Tyler Perry, Kathy Bates, Alfre Woodard, Tyler Perry, Cole Hauser. Rated PG-13 for thematic material, sexual references and brief violence.
