Ah, this week... it's time to use Bad Words in this column...I'm normally a very laid back individual and bad words are not part of my vocabulary. But this week I can use Bad Words. Okay, so I've taken all the life out of that joke by now. But make no mistake, I really enjoyed the film and think it "could" become a cult classic. Throw in the action sequel The Raid 2 and you've got a couple sneaky interesting movies being released. And a hidden gem featuring a film for the Christian music fans out there. What a cross-section of films!And before I get into the rest of this week...make sure you watch the trailers below...that Stage Fright film is kinda a horror movie with Minnie Driver and Meat Loaf -- I would see it if I had it...but alas they didn't send me that one....but check out the trailer below in the trailers this week.
Pick Of The Week
If you pick one movie this week … this is it.
Bad Words / Rated R / Jason Bateman, Kathryn Hahn
Spelling bees are for kids, right? Not to 40-year-old Guy Trilby. In an attempt to take the national spelling bee title, Guy exploits a rule that the contestant must not have passed the eighth grade. Along the way he meets a competitor and decides to impart his knowledge of life to the boy. Jason Bateman’s directorial debut is raw, raunchy and in no way politically correct. The humor will make some cringe and others double over in laughter, maybe even at the same time. I spell it F-U-N-N-Y. I really bellieve that Bad Words "could" become a cult classic and be watched as a late night comedy for years to come. Get in on it N-O-W! (Grade: B+)

Jodorowsky’s Dune / Rated PG-13 / Alejandro Jodorowsky
Cult film director Alejandro Jodorowsky discusses the film that he never made. Many of the stories that surrounded the film were larger that life much like his series of graphical storyboards that he had created to pitch this film.
The Raid 2 / Rated PG-13 / Iko Uwais, Arifin Putra

Hidden Gem
Ragamuffin / Rated PG-13 / Michael Koch, David Schultz
A movie about Rich Mullins. To some readers, this may mean nothing special, but to Christian music fans, Mullins became one of the biggest names in the industry. The story covers his growth from a child to become one of the biggest names in Christian music. His childhood was by no means a perfect upbringing. But he loved to sing, and felt that was his way to express himself. When the call came in from superstar Amy Grant that she wanted to record one of his songs, he knew things were about to change. But would this help him with the inner demons he was fighting as many artists do. This may have a limited appeal in the marketplace, but for those in that limited group this is a solid story of the rise of a true original in the Christian music market. Although it is a bit too long and drawn out in trying to get it's message across, for those fans I think it is a worthy tribute to the career of a unique man.
