What They're Saying:

RED
Short Story:
Based on the classic DC Comics series by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner, RED follows retired CIA agents Frank (Bruce Willis), Joe (Morgan Freeman), Marvin (John Malkovich) and Victoria (Helen Mirren) as they fight to clear their names and expose one of the biggest cover-ups in CIA history.
What They're Saying:
"RED stands for 'Retired, Extremely Dangerous,' though 'Reasonably Entertaining Diversion' works too." - Chicago Tribune
"Classiest. Comic. Book. Movie. Ever." - Village Voice
Good For Kids?
While it's not the perfect children's movie, the kids will surely get a kick out of this action-packed comedy.
Jackass 3-D
Short Story:
The crazy antics continue as Johnny Knoxville and crew take on more outrageous stunts in this 3-D adaptation of their MTV show and movies.
What They're Saying:
"While Jackass 3D can never be accused of stinting on its spring-loaded arsenal of projectile bodily fluids, neither does it approach that sublime, laugh-until-it-hurts level of gross-out nirvana that made the first two installments so darned irresistible." - The Hollywood Reporter
"Johnny Knoxville and Co., who are constantly outdoing themselves with crazy and creative pranks and stunts, would seem to be just the right guys to do that sort of thing. But very little occurs in their latest movie, Jackass 3-D, that wouldn't have sufficed in 2-D." - Associated Press
Good For Kids?
Jackass 3D will definitley make an impression on the kids -- and it won't be a good one.
Secretariat
Short Story:
Based on a true story (and the novel by William Nack), Secretariat follows Penny Chenery (Diane Lane), a Virginia housewife who inherits her father's famed Meadow Stables. Despite being a novice, the modest housewife commandeers the male-dominated horse-racing business, producing the 1973 Triple Crown winner and, perhaps, the greatest racehorse of all time.
What They're Saying:
"Secretariat, a benignly inspirational Disney sports drama about the legendary racehorse who won the Triple Crown in 1973, offers a fascinating test case for how much spoilers sometimes don't matter." - Entertainment Weekly
"It is a great film about greatness, the story of the horse and the no less brave woman who had faith in him." - Chicago Sun-Times
Good For Kids?
What kid wouldn't want to watch a pony strut around a race track?
