Three Movies Launch Today!

Don't Breathe  (Lionsgate) is one of the movies hitting the screens today!

Besides beer, food, cars and sports, I'm a movie buff too! Here are three joints worth checking out this weekend!

Hands of Stone

Running Time: 105 minutes

Rated: R (for language throughout and some sexuality/nudity)

Either you are a fight fan, De Niro fan or Usher fan, this should be a good one! The name “Hands of Stone” originally comes from the controversial boxing great Roberto Duran. This new film revisits his rivalry with one of the best to do it, Sugar Ray Leonard and all the drama behind it.

Official Synopsis: At age 72, legendary trainer Ray Arcel (Robert De Niro) comes out of retirement to coach world-class Panamanian boxer Roberto Durán (Edgar Ramirez). Arcel becomes a mentor to the ferocious fighter, convincing him that winning ultimately comes down to strategy. After scoring knockout after knockout, Duran prepares for a bout against Sugar Ray Leonard, the undefeated lightweight champion. Five months later, on Nov. 25, 1980, the two titans meet for an infamous rematch that makes boxing history.

Mechanic: Resurrection

Running Time: 99 minutes

Rated: R (for violence throughout and language)

Jason Statham is a beast and nasty with the martial arts. Here is the sequel of the action-packed Mechanic series!

Official Synopsis: When the deceitful actions of a cunning but beautiful woman force him to return to the life he left behind, Arthur Bishop's life is in danger as he has to complete an impossible list of assassinations of the most dangerous men in the world.

Don’t Breathe

Running Time: 88 minutes

Rated: R (for terror, violence, disturbing content and language including sexual references)
I went to the media viewing of this joint because I dig scary movies. This one is a fusion of SAW, Cujo, and Blair Witch (stylistically that is). I saw it and it was definitely a breath of fresh air from other "horror" movies of late. See what I did there?

Official Synopsis:

Rocky (Jane Levy), Alex and Money are three Detroit thieves who get their kicks by breaking into the houses of wealthy people. Money gets word about a blind veteran who won a major cash settlement following the death of his only child. Figuring he's an easy target, the trio invades the man's secluded home in an abandoned neighborhood. Finding themselves trapped inside, the young intruders must fight for their lives after making a shocking discovery about their supposedly helpless victim.

Happy watching!
