Another interesting week of new releases, the biggest of which features our generation’s comedy king, Seth Rogen, in perhaps his strangest role yet. Don’t let the middling “average tier” for Observe and Report discourage you, this film has a lot of strongly vocal supporters. At the bottom of the list, Lymelife, a well-received little comic drama starring Kieran Culkin, warrants a look.

Observe and Report – Average Tier 5.16
Mall security guard Ronnie Barnhardt is called into action to stop a flasher from turning shopper’s paradise into his personal peep show. Observe and Report @ Amazon

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past – Average Tier 3.30

O’ Horten – Average Tier 5.91
The moment the train leaves the station without train driver Odd Horten aboard, he realizes that the path ahead is a journey without printed timetables and well-known stations. Horten has retired, and the platform does not feel like a safe place anymore. With death as a metphor, the film draws a melancholy and humorous portrait of an aging man in situations most people probably will not get into, but hopefully will recognize.

Battle for Terra – Average Tier 4.36

Lymelife – Average Tier 6.95
Set in the late 70′s, seen through the innocent eyes of a fifteen year old boy, SCOTT, “Lymelife” is a unique take on the dangers of the American Dream.
