THE WEEKEND EXPERIENCE - MOVIES OPENING 8/22

THE MOVIE THAT WILL BE ACTION-PACKED BUT MAY NOT BE WORTH YOUR TIME

Death Race
Terminal Island, New York: 2020. Jason Statham (The Transporter) leads the cast of an action-thriller set in the post-industrial wasteland of tomorrow. Adrenalized inmates, a global audience hungry for televised violence, and a spectacular arena come together to form the Death Race. Driving a monster car outfitted with machine guns, flamethrowers and grenade launchers, one desperate man will destroy anything in his path to win the most twisted spectator sport on Earth. --© Universal Pictures


THE MOVIE THAT LOOKS INTRIGUING

I.O.U.S.A.
Wake up, America! We’re on the brink of a financial meltdown. I.O.U.S.A. boldly examines the rapidly growing national debt and its consequences for the United States and its citizens. As the Baby Boomer generation prepares to retire, will there even be any Social Security benefits left to collect? Burdened with an ever-expanding government and military, increased international competition, overextended entitlement programs, and debts to foreign countries that are becoming impossible to honor, America must mend its spendthrift ways or face an economic disaster of epic proportions. Wielding candid interviews with both average American taxpayers and government officials, Sundance veteran Patrick Creadon (Wordplay) helps demystify the nation’s financial practices and policies. The ultimate power of I.O.U.S.A. is that the film moves beyond doomsday rhetoric to proffer potential financial scenarios and propose solutions about how we can recreate a fiscally sound nation for future generations. -© Sundance Film Festival


THE COMEDY WORTH A PEEK

Hamlet 2
A failed actor-turned-worse-high-school- drama teacher rallies his Tucson, AZ students as he conceives and stages a politically incorrect musical sequel to Shakespeare's Hamlet. -© Focus Features
