The Indy Film Fest runs July 17-25 at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. If you've never been, go this year. If you have, go again!
If you're looking to hit the regular cinemas this weekend, you have a couple of options. "
The Purge: Anarchy" is another serviceable thriller about an American society where all crimes, specifically murder, are legal for one night a year. Frank Grillo, who played the villainous Crossbones in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" earlier this year, plays a superhero-ish role and evokes memories of another superhero, The Punisher. Maybe a third reboot is in order.
Also starting is the comedy "
Sex Tape," starring Cameron Diaz and her "Bad Teacher" co-star Jason Segel. The duo plays a couple looking to spice up their relationship by, as Keanu Reeves once famously said, "record their love." When their tape is distributed to friends and family by accident, their lives are turned upside down.
Did you miss the free advance screening of "
A Brony Tale"? That one is the most recent documentary chronicling men who have a potentially disturbing fixation with "My Little Pony." Film Yap writer Ben Johnson caught the screening and
has a review of it up at The Film Yap.
Also, if you haven't yet seen "
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," go out of your way to see it. The "Apes" reboot is turning into a fantastic(ally overlooked) franchise, and it's more than worth your time. It made $70 mil this weekend, and if you want quality flicks like this one to continue being made, speak with your wallet!
The Film Yap also has a new movie pass giveaway up!
Head over here if you're interested in free passes to see an advance screening of "
And So It Goes," starring Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton and directed by
Friend of The Film Yap Rob Reiner!
That's it for this week.
