Red 2 (2013)
Retired black-ops CIA agent Frank Moses reunites his unlikely team of elite operatives for a global quest to track down a missing portable nuclear device.
Director:Dean Parisot |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: With Byung-hun Lee joining Bruce Willis for the sequel to the unexpected blockbuster, Red 2 feels a bit like a more-fun version of the upcoming G.I. Joe movie. We will miss Morgan Freeman (whose characters normally never die), but welcome Anthony Hopkins to what could be the truest definition of a popcorn movie.

R.I.P.D. (2013)
A recently slain cop joins a team of undead police officers working for the Rest in Peace Department and tries to find the man who murdered him.
Director:Robert Schwentke |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Let's see if Red director Robert Schwentke can turn another offbeat graphic novel into a box-office hit. Love the notion of Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges starring together; though they're decades apart, both actors buffer wisecracking dialogue with undeniable charm. However, the yellow flag here is the presence of screenwriting team Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi, responsible for Æon Flux and -- more recently and even worse -- Clash of the Titans. Our main fear is the story's inherent weirdness won't translate for mainstream audiences.

Turbo (2013) - [Opens 7/17]
A freak accident might just help an everyday garden snail achieve his biggest dream: winning the Indy 500.
Director:David Soren |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: While there's plenty going on behind the scenes at DreamWorks Animation, creatively they've been running smoothly for the better part of the last decade and they're cranking out at least two worldwide hits per year. So it's easy for the studio to attract top-tier voice talent as they promote from within; in this case, storyboard vet David Soren ascends to the director's chair, and he's had a hand in the screenplay as well. Until we hear more, all we can picture is Cars with snails.

The Conjuring (2013)
Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren work to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in their farmhouse. Forced to confront a powerful entity, the Warrens find themselves caught in the most terrifying case of their lives.
Director:James Wan |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Patrick Wilson has two movies coming out this year, and in both of them he'll play the patriarch of a haunted family. To make the projects seem even more inseparable, Saw's James Wan directs them both. Sure, Insidious: Chapter 2 has a hit first movie to build from, but The Conjuring features Mackenzie Foy, aka Renesmee - Bella and Edward Cullen's offspring who we think might be 2x scarier than the kind of evil presence that would set its sights on a farmhouse.

Girl Most Likely (2012) - [Limited]
A failed New York playwright awkwardly navigates the transition from Next Big Thing to Last Year's News.
|
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: A lot has been said about Kristen Wiig's cautious (?) and/or strategic (?) post-Bridesmaids choices, and her partnership here with American Splendor co-directors Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini definitely has indie-film tongues flapping about. The story seems a bit like Young Adult without the obsessive-love component -- a mid-life crisis in a vacuum, perhaps. Kristen Wiig can turn a single word into a laugh, so her mother-daughter banter with Annette Bening ought to be hysterical.

Only God Forgives (2013) - [Limited]
Julian, a drug-smuggler thriving in Bangkok's criminal underworld, sees his life get even more complicated when his mother compels him to find and kill whoever is responsible for his brother's recent death.
Director:Nicolas Winding Refn |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: The reception for Ryan Gosling's reunion with his Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn hasn't been as rapturous this time around, though most everyone can agree that Refn is one of the most visually aware filmmakers working today. Chances are if Refn's fewer-words/more-tones approach has worked for you in the past -- like the audience who turned Valhalla Rising into a VOD phenomenon -- then OGF's saturated ultraviolence will appease your thirst for a battered and vengeful Gosling.
