This Week's Big Releases

Beasts of the Southern Wild - Rated PG-13 (Quvenzhane Wallis, Dwight Henry)

Life in the bayou is rough but rewarding for the inhabitants. But after a hundred year storm life will be even tougher especially for a 6 year old. This is a touching and inspiring film that yearns to be seen for its beauty.

The Dark Knight Rises- Rated PG-13 (Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt)
The final film in the Christopher Nolan treatment of the Caped Crusader. Bale is stoic and solid, Hathaway add a touch of spunky fun and Tom Hardy as Bane delivers a competent villain and foil for Bale. Get the Blu-ray and crank the surround system with this visual spectacle.

Hope Springs- Rated PG-13 (Meryl Streep, Tommy Lee Jones, Steve Carell)
A couple that has had a long marriage needs to rekindle the fire that once burned. When they see a therapist (Carell) they find that connecting is more than a routine. Funny and poignant, this is one for the mature folks in the audience.

The Odd Life of Timothy Green- Rated PG (Jennifer Garner, Joel Edgerton)
When a young couple seems to put their desire to have kids behind them a miracle from the garden changes everything. A cute film, with cute characters that gets a bit weird from time to time, yet I think most who see it, will like it.
