Clint Eastwood plays Gus Lobel in “Trouble With The Curve”, a grumpy baseball scout with whom age is starting to catch up. While he is still in denial about the whole thing, the suits of the Atlanta Braves are starting to question his judgment. The only one who can help him is his daughter Mickey (Amy Adams), a lawyer at a big firm who’s well on her way to becoming a partner. But in order to help out her dad, she has to put her own career on the line.
Inspired by a true story, “Salon Kitty” is Tinto Brass’ movie about the Third Reich’s decadence. Brass once said that this film was about denuding power and you can take that quite literally because most of the time this movie is about Nazis taking off their clothes.
Seeking a fresh start, recently divorced Sarah (Elisabeth Shue) and her daughter Elissa (Jennifer Lawrence) move into a new home in a small town. That new home however happens to be right next to a house where years ago a girl went psycho on her parents, leaving her brother Ryan (Max Thieriot) as the sole survivor.
After having spent seven years in prison, Rudy Vandekerckhove is released and moves into a small place that a buddy of his lets him have. Other than that he doesn’t have a lot going for him… he can’t find a job, gets in a bar fight and his ex-wife won’t talk to him. So what does a man do? Well, he visits a porn site on his buddy’s computer and starts talking to a webcam girl… no seriously, they’re just talking! Of course it’s not just any girl as it turns out later but let’s not give away too much.
Here’s the story… a football hooligan can’t find a job, gets reacquainted with an old friend and ends up in some shady business involving cloned credit cards. He soon finds himself with a wad of cash that he blows on coke, champagne and cheap blondes. Meanwhile his girlfriend is at home alone waiting for her boyfriend to come home. It doesn’t take long for him to realize that things are just a bit more dangerous and violent than he expected them to be.
Normally the third time is supposed to be a charm but in Crocodile Dundee’s case, it’s a turd. At the beginning of the movie Crocodile Dundee (Paul Hogan) is still doing his thing in Walkabout Creek until his significant other Sue (Linda Kozlowski) gets a job offer in LA. And so the two of them move to LA along with their son Mick. This of course leads to a lot of cultural misunderstandings which aren’t very funny.
“Nothing But The Truth” tells the story of Washington DC reporter Rachel Armstrong (Kate Beckinsale) who gets in trouble with the government after refusing to reveal the source for a story that exposed CIA agent Erica Van Doren (Vera Farmiga). Both women have kids that attend the same school and the scene where Rachel confronts Erica as one soccer mom to another is pretty intense. Equally intense is special prosecutor Patton Dubois (Matt Dillon), who is determined to find out who her source is and puts Rachel behind bars.
“Training Day” writer David Ayer takes us once again deep in the underbelly of South Central LA with “End Of Watch”, a movie that blows some much-needed fresh air in the buddy cop genre. Join Officer Taylor (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Officer Zavala (Michael Peña) in their police cruiser as they roam the streets looking for baddies while insulting one another. The interaction between the two is amazing and you really feel for them as they get in way over their heads after having come across a Mexican drug cartel.
