Pitch Perfect

☆☆☆☆

+
Rebel Wilson (Fat Amy) delivers the laughs in this laugh-out-loud comedy about an a cappella college group that gets a past-due makeover when Beca (Anna Kendrick) joins the team.

The perfect mix of fun, music, competition, and a little drama.
_
Some crude college humor...potty humor

Rated PG-13
1 hr. 52 min.

Trouble with the Curve

☆☆☆☆1/2

+
“Trouble…Curve” tells the heart-tugging story a father (Gus – Clint Eastwood) and his daughter (Mickey – extra star for Amy Adams' performance) trying to mend their broken relationship while on the road scouting baseball players.

Solid supporting performance by Justin Timberlake
_
Clint Eastwood plays the same character he has played in his last three movies (cranky old man).

Predictable


Rated PG-13
1 hr. 50 min.

Arbitrage

☆☆☆☆

+
“Arbitrage” is the smart and engaging suspense thriller starring Richard Gere as Robert Miller, a New York businessman trying to complete the sale of his company before his fraud is revealed.

Excellent Performance by Richard Gere
_
You may find yourself rooting for Gere’s character as he digs himself deeper and deeper into trouble.

Rated R
1 hr. 40 min.

The Bachelorette

☆☆☆1/2

+
“Bachelorette” may have touches of “Bridesmaids” and even “The Hangover,” but it stands alone as a solid comedy about three high school friends (Regan: Kirsten Dunst, Katie: Isla Fisher, and Jenna: Lizzy Caplan)…fraught with personal issues and character flaws… getting back together to attend Becky’s wedding (another high school friend played by Rebel Wilson).
_
Yes…the girls are mean to Becky, but deep down they do care about her.

Rated R
1 hr. 31 min.

Hope Springs

☆☆☆

+
Once again Meryl Streep lights-up the screen…and is the best reason to see “Hope Springs,” the story of Kay, a woman determined to get her marriage to Arnold (Tommy Lee Jones) back on track by travelling to a small town in Maine for a week of intense marriage counseling with Dr. Bernie Feld (Steve Carell).
_
We have two characters that are clearly stuck in a routine (we get it) and always grumpy (Arnold) or always unhappy (Kay).

Elisabeth Shue and Jean Smart are wasted in this film.


Rated PG-13
1 hr. 40 min.
