FILM RATINGS
BATMAN SUPERMAN GREEN LANTERN AQUAMAN
NOW SHOWING AFTER EARTH *G@@ Rated PG-13 • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency, Carmike Amelia Island, Carmike Fleming Island, Cinemark Tinseltown, Clay Theatre, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd., Regal River City Marketplace After the Earth has been nearly destroyed yet again by pollution, mankind has settled on a distant world named Nova Prime and is forced to battle the Ursa, giant alien bugs. Cypher Raige (Will Smith) has the ability to suppress all fear, which the Ursa can sniff out. Cypher’s efforts to bond with his son, Kitai (Jaden Smith), involve a space journey that lands them crashed on Earth. Kitai must help save himself and his dad. THE CROODS **G@ Rated PG • Regal Avenues A family of missing links is forced from their cave and into a whole new way of life – with fire, tools and shoes. The animated comedy’s cast voices include Nicolas Cage, Catherine Keener, Emma Stone and Ryan Reynolds. EPIC **@@ Rated PG • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency, Carmike Amelia Island, Carmike Fleming Island, Cinemark Tinseltown, Clay Theatre, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd., Regal River City Marketplace The story, what there is of it, follows troubled teen Mary Katherine (voiced by Amanda Seyfried), or M.K. to her friends, as she visits her science-geek father Bomba (Jason Sudeikis). Her mother died years before, and Bomba’s convinced that tiny warrior people live in a forest near his home. M.K. chases her father’s three-legged dog into the woods, where she sees falling leaves that glow – when she touches them, she shrinks to a miniscule size. Co-starring Beyoncé Knowles, Colin Farrell, Josh Hutcherson and Christoph Waltz. FAST & FURIOUS 6 ***@ Rated PG-13 • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency, Carmike Amelia Island, Carmike Fleming Island, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd., Regal River City Marketplace The “Fast” franchise is all about custom cars, action sequences and now-familiar characters, including antihero Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and ex-cop Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker). In “Fast & Furious 6”, there are dozens of cars, constant action, an over-the-top villain and nearly every character who wasn’t killed in a previous movie. Much of the plot centers around a character who’s back from the dead. Luke Hobbs (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson), the supercop introduced in “Fast Five” to be the foil for the popular gang of street racers, now wants to team up with Dominic, Brian and the rest of the gang to catch megacriminal Owen Shaw (Luke Evans). THE GREAT GATSBY **@@ Rated PG-13 • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency, Carmike Fleming Island, Cinemark Tinseltown, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd., Regal River City Marketplace It’s 1922, and humble, naïve Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire), a bond salesman in New York City, lives on Long Island next door to the sprawling mansion of Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio). Jay’s using Nick, whose cousin Daisy (Carey Mulligan) was once Jay’s love – he hasn’t seen her in five years. Daisy’s married to Tom (Joel Edgerton), a philandering millionaire whose affair with crazy golddigger Myrtle (Isla Fisher) is well known. At 143 minutes, it’s 20 minutes too long, and it’s a drag to have boring Nick narrate. He’s not compelling, his innocence has little perspective of value, and Maguire is forced to play down Nick’s charisma. It’s a shame, too – lost in the ennui are fine performances from Edgerton, Mulligan and DiCaprio. THE HANGOVER PART III *G@@ Rated R • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency, Carmike Amelia Island, Carmike Fleming Island, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd., Regal River City Marketplace What a stale, sad way to end a trilogy. In “The Hangover Part III,” the follow-up to the hilarious 2009 original and the

Alan (Zach Galifianakis, left), Phil (Bradley Cooper, center) and Stu (Ed Helms) unite in “The Hangover Part III,” directed by Todd Phillips. Photo: Warner Bros. Pictures hit-and-miss 2011 sequel, an exotic animal is again featured (remember the tiger?). This time, Alan (Zach Galifianakis), an immature goon whose charms were exhausted at the end of the first film, has bought a giraffe. If you’ve seen the trailers, you know what happens. Unfortunately, the rest of “Part III” doesn’t get much better. After Alan’s father (Jeffrey Tambor) dies from a heart attack brought on by the giraffe incident, it’s decided he should spend time in a mental hospital. But he’ll go only if fellow Wolfpackers Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Doug (Justin Bartha) tag along. THE INTERNSHIP Rated PG-13 • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency, Carmike Amelia Island, Carmike Fleming Island, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd., Regal River City Marketplace, Sun-Ray Cinema The dynamic duo of Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson is back, this time looking for a new career instead of crashing weddings. After being let go from their jobs – apparently some digital device can replace them – Billy (Vaughn) and Nick (Wilson) gain an internship at Google. Other new interns, however, are whipsmart technophiles who can outclick them at every turn. The ex-salesmen make us laugh while they make fools of themselves. IDDARAMMAYILATHO *G@@ Not Rated • AMC Regency It’s an action-comedy-romance starring Allu Arjun, Brahmanandam and Steven Dasz. In Telugu. IRON MAN 3 ***@ Rated PG-13 • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency, Carmike Fleming Island, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd., Regal River City Marketplace After saving the world in “The Avengers,” Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) suffers from anxiety. More villains are lining up to challenge him, including The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley), who seems to enjoy killing innocent people, and scientist Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce). Downey keeps the story grounded and the action soaring as Stark/Iron Man, a genius casting decision that’s carried four films. MAN OF STEEL **@@ Rated PG-13 • Opens June 14 Reviewed in this issue. NOW YOU SEE ME ***@ Rated PG-13 • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency, Carmike Amelia Island, Carmike Fleming Island, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd., Regal River City Marketplace, San Marco Theatre Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher and Dave Franco star as four street magicians recruited by a mysterious hooded figure. In return for the fame and notoriety, the Four Horsemen must perform public magic acts in which they pull off three spectacular heists, each involving millions of dollars. They also face the FBI – led by Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) and Interpol agent Alma Dray (Melanie Laurent) – and are being pursued by opportunist Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman), who makes a nice living debunking magicians. THE PURGE **G@ Rated R • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency, Carmike Fleming
Island, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd., Regal River City Marketplace Set in the near future, America has sanctioned a 12-hour period during which all crime is legal. On that night, James Sandin (Ethan Hawke), his wife Mary (Lena Headey) and their kids are held hostage. STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS ***G Rated PG-13 • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency, Carmike Amelia Island, Carmike Fleming Island, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd., Regal River City Marketplace, World Golf Village IMAX Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) and his crew are “propelled into an epic chess game of life and death.” Joining Spock (Zachary Quinto), Bones (Karl Urban), Scotty (Simon Pegg), Chekov (Anton Yelchin), Sulu (John Cho) and Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood) are Dr. Carol Marcus (Alice Eve) and an elusive villain, played by Benedict Cumberbatch.
