Sin City 2: A Dame To Kill For
Hartigan, Nancy, Dwight, Gail, Marv (and his mitts) are back for more sexually charged, bare-knuckle noir adventures. After a nine-year absence, the film’s ripped-from-comic-pages style of Frank Miller returns with many of the same faces, adding Joseph-Gordon Levitt as “Johnny.” “Sin” City never really rose to fame for its plot, which featured hard-as-nails men and badass broads clawing to survive in a morally-bankrupt world. Instead, watch it to appreciate the chiaroscuro, black-and-white film and hard-boiled sexiness.
Ninja Turtles
The mutated ninja turtle warriors are back from the late 1980s and off to a good start as they embrace in a brotherly hug, boldly exclaiming, “Like shadows in the night, [we are] completely unseen!” That is until Megan Fox oh-so-subtly snaps a picture of them with her camera flash going off. A rodent-looking creature plays “sensei” to the weapon-wielding turtles, who go up against a metal-plated robot samurai built to take over New York. Enjoy.
Deepsea
In what is acclaimed director James Cameron’s most ambitious production yet, “Deepsea,” a 3D documentary, documents his diving expedition down into the Mariana Trench with his Deepsea Challenger submarine. Cameron is the man behind “Titanic,” “The Terminator,” “Avatar” and “The Abyss” among other big-screen hits. But he’s always been drawn to the ocean’s depths.
The filmmaker’s 2012 expedition was the first solo one of its kind, and he is only the third person ever to have taken the plunge down the trench – the deepest place on earth.
It is said to be 36,000 feet deep, where even “Mt. Everest could fit … with 7,000 feet to spare.”
Kristy
Justine Wills is a hot college student with a body that looks naturally good in underwear. This wouldn’t seem important to the plot were it not a recurring element of the film. She stays back on campus alone as everyone else returns home for the Thanksgiving weekend. After running into a deranged-looking girl at a store (played by Ashley Greene), Wills finds herself becoming the target of violent outcasts, one of whom is Violet – the very girl she bumped into at the store. Watch it for the college campus-based plot, or for Greene – but cue screaming.
Third Person
This is a story of three relationships across the globe:
In Paris, writer Michael (Liam Neeson) recently separated from his wife and is having an on-and-off affair with a young journalist, Anna (Olivia Wilde).
In New York: Julia (Mila Kunis), an ex-soap opera actress, firmly denies attempting to kill her son but still loses custody of her child to her ex-husband, Rick (James Franco). After financial ruin from the legal costs and cut-off support, she is forced to become a hotel maid.
And lastly in Rome, an unscrupulous American businessman, Scott (Adrien Brody) is in Italy trying to steal designs from fashion houses. He meets a Romanian woman and becomes entangled in a shady kidnapping of the woman’s daughter.
A star-studded ensemble cast usually signals a lackluster plot, and “Third Person” doesn’t sound like an exception.
