Elysium

In the year 2154, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined planet. The people of Earth are desperate to escape the crime and poverty that is now rampant throughout the land. The only man with the chance to bring equality to these worlds is Max (Matt Damon), an ordinary guy in desperate need to get to Elysium. With his life hanging in the balance, he reluctantly takes on a dangerous mission—one that pits him against Elysium’s Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) and her hard-line forces—but if he succeeds, he could save not only his own life, but millions of people on Earth as well.

Box Office Winners August 23-25, 2013

‘Lee Daniels’ The Butler’ won a weaker than expected box office weekend with $17 Million, ‘We’re the Millers’ surprised by moving up in its third weekend in theatres. Newbies ‘The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones’ and ‘The World’s End’ both disappointed by raking in $9.3 and $8.9 Million respectively. Disney’s ‘Planes’ rounded out the top 5 with $8.5 Million. Last week’s number 2 film ‘Kick Ass 2’ was anything but with an almost 70% nosedive in box office returns to end up at the very bottom of the top 10 box office for the weekend.

New Music Tuesday – August 20 2013

The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones

Original soundtrack to the 2013 motion picture. Among the high-profile track list are new songs from multi-platinum selling pop artist Demi Lovato, multi-platinum Alt-Rock band AFI, Grammy Awards-winning multi-platinum singer songwriter Colbie Caillat, and many others. These songs are not only showcased on the soundtrack but during key moments of one of the most highly anticipated films of the summer. AFI’s remix of their new track, “17 Crimes”, channels a kinetic crash apropos of the action on-screen, EDM titan Zedd scored for a key scene in the film, while Colbie Caillat delivers a haunting ballad, “When the Darkness Comes”, which she wrote with producer David Hodges. The soundtrack covers the entire spectrum of sounds and emotions with everything from Jessie J’s swaggering sultry pop to Bassnectar’s Dubstep thump.

Kick-Ass 2

Presenting the original motion picture score to the all-new feature film Kick-Ass 2, starring Chlo? Grace Moretz, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Jim Carrey, directed by Jeff Wadlow. Acclaimed composers Henry Jackman (This Is The End, Wreck It Ralph, X-Men: First Class, Kick-Ass) and Matthew Margeson (Transformers Prime, Skyline, Burning Palms) back the highly-anticipated return of the unconventional heroic duo Kick-Ass and Hit Girl with a full-throttle, super-charged action score as they face-off once more against the vengeful-minded Red Mist. This score is a sonic blast – and the perfect compliment to this rip-roaring, big-screen sequel to the original cult smash Kick-Ass. Kick-Ass 2 opens in theaters nationwide August 13, 2013.

Box Office Winners August 16-18, 2013

Proving Oprah Winfrey is still the Queen of (almost) all media, ‘The Butler’ took in an impressive $25 Million dollars this weekend. The feat is particularly impressive when ‘Kick-Ass 2’ was the odds on winner to take the weekend, at least until the weak Friday numbers came in. The gross-out comedy ‘We’re the Millers’ took in $17.7 Million to hold on to second place for a second weekend in a row. Last week’s winner ‘Elysium’ is in a tight race with newbie ‘Kick-Ass 2’ for 3rd place, until the numbers are examined in more details this week we won’t know who won. Disney’s disappointing ‘Planes’ rounds out the top 5. Take a look at the top 10 movies below.

Kick-Ass 2

Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010’s irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2. After Kick-Ass’ (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)—reborn as The Mother F%&*^r—only the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) can prevent their annihilation. With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world’s first superhero team with Mindy. Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she’s forced to retire. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes.

Director: Jeff Wadlow
Cast: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Morris Chestnut, John Leguizamo, Donald Faison, and Jim Carrey
