new movie releases

The summer movie season keeps chugging right along. (Yes, we realize it isn't technically summer yet, but as far as movies are concerned, it is.) This weekend we get a dose of comedy and a dash of the spooks, so take your pick, moviegoers.

This weekend, a classic fairy tale gets a modern twist, one of the biggest casts we've ever heard of assembles, and Jason Statham does his Jason Statham thing. Fantasy-action, comedy and Jason Statham (who is his own genre) provide a nice range of choices at theaters...

It's Thanksgiving week, and we're thankful for all the new movies hitting theaters in the next few days. There's plenty of family adventure, action and drama coming to the big screen, with new releases hitting on Wednesday and Friday.

Male strippers, heartwarming family fare, talking teddy bears and men in drag. No, that’s not the set-up for a joke — those are what you’ll see in the four new movies that hit theaters this weekend.

Only one movie is opening in wide release this weekend, but it looks like it has enough fright-factor to jolt you into the New Year without any outside help.

Movie studios inundated us with releases last week, which meant some were bound to get lost in the shuffle — especially the two that bowed on Christmas Day. Let’s take another look at them, shall we?

Whether your thing is singing rodents or sleuthing Englishmen, you’ll want to start heading to the theater. In ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked,’ the squeaky trio of Alvin, Simon and Theodore find themselves marooned on a tropical island after they go overboard from their cruise ship.

Only two new movies open in wide release this weekend, but never fear — a whole slew of new flicks are slated for theaters the week of December 19th, including ‘The Adventures of Tintin,’ ‘Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol,’ and the highly-anticipated ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.’ But if you need to get your popcorn freak on now, here’s what’s premiering this week.

New movies usually open on Fridays, but since the Thanksgiving holiday means many people will have had enough of socializing with their relatives long before then, you’ll be able to sneak out as early as Wednesday to check out this week’s new offerings.

This weekend’s new films include a timely tale of revenge against a greedy rich guy, and the latest in a movie franchise beloved by users of, shall we say, “recreational herbs.”

With two sequels and a remake, this weekend’s movie premieres may not appeal to fans of completely new material, but they should make those who enjoyed the originals very happy.

The four movies opening this weekend in wide release have a little something for everyone. ‘Abduction‘ finds ‘Twilight’ hottie Taylor Lautner in mortal danger after realizing that his entire childhood has been built on a vast conspiracy of lies.
