March gets us closer to summer blockbusters, and further away from Awards season, so we find ourselves in the midst of an awkward movie phase. But, and this is a big but, March offers some subtle delights you couldn’t find anywhere else. So whether you choose to checkout that indie movie you’ve heard so much about, or the latest big studio release, don’t forget to click on the movie title below to view the trailer. We want to make sure you know what you are getting into before you head to the theater.
Get Hard

Directed by: Ethan Cohen

Our Two Cents: Is this racist? Is is though?
Home (in 3D)
Stars: Rihanna, Jim Parsons, Jennifer Lopez, Steve Martin
Directed by: Tim Johnson
Synopsis: A cheery alien race lands on Earth, hoping to save them from the pursuing enemy by relocating them to a Desert Planet. However, one girl avoids capture, and in befriending a simple alien, she hopes to defeat the enemy and save the world.
Our Two Cents: No harm no foul – everyone needs an animated film every once in a while.
Serena
Stars: Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper
Directed by: Susanne Bier
Synopsis: Just before the Depression, timbre magnate George Pemberton struggles to sustain his empire. The arrival of his wife appears to be his saving, but her irrational behaviour and growing disdain for his lovechild makes her a dangerous adversary.
Our Two Cents: This film is already out in England, and it’s terrifyingly bad – you may lose faith in Lawrence altogether.

Stars: Ben Stiller, Naomi Watts, Adam Driver, Amanda Seyfried.
Directed by: Noah Baumbach
Synopsis: A middle-aged couple who maintain a seemingly lovely if not simple life are forced to question everything they have but together with the arrival of a younger couple.
Our Two Cents: Charming and funny.
