The Other Woman

After discovering the man she’s been falling in love with, Mark (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), is married, Carly (Cameron Diaz) tries to get her ruined life back on track. But when she accidentally meets the wife he’s been cheating on, Kate (Leslie Mann), she realizes they have much in common, and her sworn enemy becomes her greatest friend. When yet another affair, Amber (Kate Upton), is discovered, all three women team up to plot mutual revenge on the cheating, lying, three-timing Mark.

Louise Keller of Cinefile calls The Other Woman, “Disarmingly funny in a raucous, slapstick kind of way, this Blonde Power revenge comedy is a laugh a minute, thanks to a bitingly funny script and knock out performances by Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann. First time screenwriter Melissa Stack has constructed a delicious over-the-top scenario in which sex, lies and infidelity are the name of the game. And the game is great fun. Diaz and Mann complement each other beautifully: Diaz is elegantly sexy, countered by superb comic timing, whereas Mann uses her wide-eyed girlie innocence through an onslaught of slapstick.”

Transcendence

Researcher Will Caster (Johnny Depp) is one of the world’s most visible proponents of artificial intelligence (AI) along with close friend Max (Paul Bettany). When a group of Luddite, anti-technology terrorists, successfully coordinate strikes against researchers in the AI community, Will is shot with a bullet  primed with radioactive matter – giving him just weeks to live.

Initially devastated, Will and his loving wife and fellow researcher Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) realize that one of their slain peers successfully uploaded the consciousness of a rhesus monkey to a computer, so Evelyn and Max attempt to do the same with Will transferring his thoughts, memories and personality onto a super-computer PINN (Physically Integrated Neural Network). But once the upload is complete, Max immediately begins to worry that the computer has discovered awareness — what Will called “transcendence” — and is using a Will’s likeness to get Evelyn to go along with what might be more sinister plans.

Alonso Duralde of The Wrap writes, “One solid take-away from Transcendence is Rebecca Hall’s performance as a computer genius (she’s not just Will’s wife, she’s his collaborator) so blinded by grief and by the possibilities of pushing science to the next level, that she aids and abets Will’s ambitious, terrifying agenda.” Boxoffice.com predicts that Transcendence will open at $18.5M in its debut weekend.

Rating: PG-13 // Genre: Drama | Mystery | Sci-Fi // Runtime: 1 hr. and 59 min. // Starring: Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Morgan Freeman // Directed by: Wally Pfister // Written by: Jack Paglen // Produced by: Alcon Entertainment, DMG Entertainment, Straight Up Films, Syncopy // Distributed by: Warner Bros.

Rio 2


Rio 2 finds our hero Blue (Jesse Eisenberg) living happily in Rio de Janeiro with his wife, Jewel (Anne Hathaway), and their three young chicks. But when an entire flock of their species, the endangered blue macaw, is discovered 2,000 miles away deep in the Amazon rainforest, Blue and company take off to investigate. What they find is that the rainforest macaws’ patriarch is actually Jewel’s long lost father, who’s leading the defense against encroaching loggers. Whether Blue can prove his worth to his disdainful new father-in-law and help offer an effective defense against the mounting threat may prove to be a staggering challenge for the formerly domesticated macaw.

Tom Huddleston of TimeOut writes, “Director Carlos Saldanha is all heart. Every movie he makes is stuffed with warmth, charm and simple but effective lessons about family, responsibility and friendship.”
