New in theaters this weekend
New in theaters:
"Dirty Grandpa"
The crude comedy starring Robert DeNiro as a horny grandpa who travels to spring break with his grandson (Zac Efron). With reviews strictly embargoed and a late-January release date, looks like a potential dud.
"The 5th Wave"
Chloe Grace Moretz stars in yet another apocalyptic movie based on a young adult novel, this one featuring waves of alien attacks on Earth. Trust me: There's always a reason movies like this come out in January, and it's usually that they suck.
Alive recommends:"Amy"
The Gateway Film Center is opening/reopening a trio of Oscar nominated docs, including "Cartel Land" and "The Look of Silence," but I most recommend my favorite doc of the year, this searing look at the life and talent of Amy Winehouse.
