Home Screening Room – Lincoln Doesn’t Need Parental Guidance

The big historical drama from 2012 comes home and he doesn't even need Parental Guidance. 

Big Releases from the last two weeks

The Collection – Rated R (Emma Fitzpatrick, Josh Stewart)

Killing Them Softly – Rated R (Brad Pitt, James Gandolfini)

Lincoln – Rated PG-13 (Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, Tommy Lee Jones)

Parental Guidance – Rated PG (Billy Crystal, Bette Midler)

Let’s face it; this week is all about Lincoln. The Steven Spielberg film that was nominated for a slew of awards and took home the top slot in the Best Actor category is finally available to bring home and you should pick it up. Anyone going into acting should study the Daniel Day-Lewis performance to see what actors can do. And the historical epic will be one to watch for years to come. While Lincoln is the class pick of the week, Parental Guidance is a great afternoon family movie. Sure there were some things I nitpicked on the film, but all in all it’s a fun family title that will give you a couple of laughs.

Also New This Week

The Borgias: The Second Season

Cheerful Weather for the Wedding – Rated PG (Felicity Jones, Luke Treadaway)

Lego Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out

A Royal Affair – Rated R (Mads Mikkelsen)

Veep: The Complete First Season

I’m excited for the release of the first season of Veep – the HBO series starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus is a lot of fun and will have you laughing at some of the more offbeat things that pop up throughout. If that’s not enough, what about Lego Star Wars….really? Whoa. And I’m curious about Cheerful Weather for the Wedding.

Check out the trailer below…

Final Score

Put Lincoln in your library and make time to check out Veep and maybe Parental Guidance.
