Need a Redbox? Check out "The Impossible".
The Impossible
Director: Juan Antonio Bayona
Cast: Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor
Rated PG-13 for intense realistic disaster sequences, including disturbing injury images, and brief nudity.
Warning: If you rent this film then prepare to have a box of tissues nearby. This is a movie that went under the radar with all the big holiday releases, but it is one that everyone should see! The Impossible is an emotional powerhouse of a movie that really proves how strong family ties are. It is both terrifying and beautiful. It is easy to go into most films and look to find faults, but this is a story so moving that you find yourself completely riveted.

Movie Review: "Olympus Has Fallen" Copies the "Die Hard" Formula
Olympus Has Fallen
Director: Antoine Fuqua
Cast: Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Dylan McDermott, Rick Yune, and Morgan Freeman.
Rated R for strong violence and language throughout.
There's nothing new or original that Olympus Has Fallen has to offer. For some reason, every now and then Hollywood likes to produce two of the same movie within the same year. For example, Armageddon and Deep Impact. Last year there were two Snow White movies, Mirror Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman (though at least those two were vastly different from one another). This year we get two movies dealing with terrorist attacks on the White House. I will say that this film has the better title as opposed to White House Down with Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx coming out later this summer, but that won't necessarily mean better movie.
