This Friday, January 18th, the new movies that are out in theaters include stars such as Jessica Chastain, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mark Wahlberg, Meagan Good, and Common.Here's a quick rundown on the titles:
Mama
Starring Jessica Chastain and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau:
Annabel (Chastain) and Lucas (Coster-Waldau) are faced with the challenge of raising his young nieces that were left alone in the forest for 5 years.... but how alone were they?

The Last Stand
The cast includes Arron Shiver, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Forest Whitaker and Peter Stormare.
It's directed by Jee-woon Kim (Doomsday Book, I Saw the Devil).
"The leader of a drug cartel busts out of a courthouse and speeds to the Mexican border, where the only thing in his path is a sheriff and his inexperienced staff."
Something to consider: Over on IMDb, with just under 800 votes, the movie is rated at a 7.7/10! I wasn't even considering this movie, but now I have to wonder.
Usually, I wait until more votes are in, but I'm surprised how high the user-score already is.

Broken City
This is the movie I was thinking about going to see this Friday.
Starring Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe, Catherine Zeta-Jones and somewhere in the mix, Kyle Chandler is also resident!
It's directed by Allen Hughes, who has also helmed The Book of Eli.
"In a city rife with injustice, ex-cop Billy Taggart (Wahlberg) seeks redemption and revenge after being double-crossed and then framed by its most powerful figure: Mayor Nicholas Hostetler (Crowe). "

LUV
The cast includes Common, Dennis Haysbert, Danny Glover, Meagan Good and Michael K. Williams.
"An 11-year-old boy gets a crash course in what it means to be a man when he spends a day with the ex-convict uncle he idolizes."
It only has a few votes, but the score on this movie is languishing under 5.

I hope this movie was smartly made. Arnold is too old to rely on his presence anymore. I am glad to read the review which reflects movie’s correct way to use Arnold and made it entertaining. I can’t wait to see it now.
