Queen City screens are graced with four new films this weekend - including Kings of Summer which has its Buffalo debut in the cheap seats (over at MovieLand 8). Rather fitting for the race debate currently happening in the country, Fruitvale Station opens wide (although not at Market Arcade?!?) - and of course the two big national releases (Wolverine and The To Do List).
The Conjuring (7/10)
@ The Multiplex
Fruitvale Station - From first time director Ryan Coogler, Michael B. Jordan stars in the true story of Oscar Grant, who was killed in 2008 by a BART police officer who allegedy was reaching for his taser (he had the dude pinned, why did he need a taser?). Despite cell phone video that widely circulated of the incident the officer, Johannes Mehserle was given a lenient two year sentence. Fruitvale Station looks like an electric day in the life drama....
Screening: Dipson Amherst, Regal Elmwood, Regal Quaker Crossing, Regal Galleria, Regal Hollywood 12, Regal Transit Center
The To Do List - An all alt-comic cast star in a comedy about Brandy (played by Aubrey Plaza) an over achiever who make it a goal to lose her virginity to a lifeguard - this one looks hilarious. Co-staring Bill Hader, Alia Shawkat, Rachel Bilson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Andy Samberg and Clark Gregg and written & directed by Funny or Die director Maggie Carey.
Screening: Regal Elmwood, Regal Quaker Crossing, Regal Transit, Regal Walden Galleria
