The Purge

• Run Time: 85 mins.
• Starring: Lena Headey , Ethan Hawke , Max Burkholder , Adelaide Kane
• Director: James DeMonaco
• Trailer

"There are flaws, but also some fun surprises. Much closer to Hitchcock than "Hostel," this is what can happen when a pile of trash falls into the hands of a talented and resourceful director (James DeMonaco)." Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle.

"Mostly, it’s just a clumsy lecture about who we’re becoming, haves vs have-nots, with the haves armed to the teeth." Roger Moore, Movie Nation.

The Internship

• Run Time: 119 mins.
• Starring: Vince Vaughn , Owen Wilson , Josh Gad , Joanna Garcia , Aasif Mandvi
• Director: Shawn Levy
• Trailer

"The humor is an underdog's fantasy, tapping the same vein Murray bled dry with self-important camp counselors and military officers; the less cool they are, the harder they'll fall." Steve Persall, Tampa Bay Times.

"In fact, The Internship rivals the aggressively bland “Larry Crowne” for sheer tepidness, if not worse due to the exhaustive product placement for a company whose real-life presence is unlikely to soon wane." William Goss, Film.com

After Earth

• Run Time: 89 mins.
• Starring: Will Smith , Jaden Smith , Zoe Kravitz , Sophie Okonedo , Isabelle Fuhrman
• Director: M. Night Shyamalan
• Trailer

"After Earth is ultimately too thin of a story to support all of its grandiose embellishments, but so what? It's better to try to pack every moment with beauty and feeling than to shrug and smirk. The film takes the characters and their feelings seriously, and lets its actors give strong, simple performances." Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com

"The movie takes off from a concept as basic as a videogame, and it sticks to that concept, without surprise." Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly.

Now You See Me

• Run Time: N/A
• Starring: Jesse Eisenberg , Jake Gyllenhaal , Mark Ruffalo , Woody Harrelson , Amanda Seyfried
• Director: Louis Leterrier
• Trailer

"Now You See Me can’t quite claim to be the ideal crime drama – that would be “The Usual Suspects,” which justly won an Oscar for its script – but it’s only one level down." Lawrence Toppman, Charlotte Observer.

"I left this movie feeling I’d been had. And not in a good way." Peter Travers, Rolling Stone.
