MoviefiedNYC’s Opening this Weekend

Ving Rhames. Steven Seagal and Danny Trejo – Force of Execution

There is a chill in the air and holiday lights are twinkling everywhere. No one can believe it’s December already, especially the movie studios with all their award contenders lining up one after the other for us to see this season, it’s now or never! We know that somewhere between shopping and holiday fun, you’re going to sneak in a movie or two—you can’t let Meryl, Scorsese, or Spike Jonze down, can you? So, whether you choose to check out that great indie you heard so much about or the latest big studio release, don’t forget to click on the movie title to view the trailer. We want to make sure you know what you are getting into before you head to the theater.

Happy Holidaze!

Lone Survivor (Limited)

Taylor Kstch, Mark Wahlberg, Ben Foster and Emile Hirsch – Lone Survivor

Peter Berg’s (Battleship, Hancock)Navy SEAL drama is based on Marcus Luttrell’s book Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of Seal Team 10, on the brotherhood of a group of soldiers played by Mark Wahlberg, Emile Hirsch, Ben Foster and Taylor Kistch, and the danger these guys encountered in Afghanistan, and some intense military action (which Luttrell himself consulted on).

One Chance (Limited)

James Corden – One Chance

Since the beginning of reality TV competitions, there have been plenty of stories of average people rising to fame overnight. One Chance is the story of Paul Potts, a shop singer turned world famous opera singer who made waves after Simon Cowell picked him for Britain’s Got Talent. Directed by David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada) with James Corden (Gavin & Stacey) taking the lead role with Julie Walters (Mrs. Weasley from Harry Potter) and Colm Meaney (Con-Air, Get Him to the Greek) looks like it could be a cute little story, especially for those who don’t know Potts’ story.

Breakout

Brendan Fraser – Breakout

A convict (Brenden Fraser) breaks out of prison to protect his son and daughter from a pair of ruthless killers (Dominic Purcell and Ethan Suplee) who are hunting them through the forest…I wonder how it turns out?

Force of Execution

Ving Rhames – Force of Execution

A crime lord who sits atop a powerful underworld empire longs to go straight, putting his faith in his conflicted hit-man protégé as an ambitious young player plots his rise to power. Steven Seagal, Ving Rhames and Danny Trejo sounds like some old school action fun.

Clear History

Danny McBride, Bill Hader, Michael Keaton and Larry David – Clear History

Clear History directed by Greg Mottolla and written by Larry David is a witty and wry story about a marketing executive at an electric-car start-up quits after an argument with his boss, but is crushed when the company hits the big time, so he tries to reinvent his life under a different name in the peace and quiet of Martha’s Vineyard.
