the glass castle

This column will introduce you to the most popular movies that are coming out in theaters this weekend.

What movie will you see?

Annabelle: Creation

This is the prequel to 2014’s Annabelle and the fourth film in The Conjuring franchise.  A doll makers daughter passes on, but her ghost asks for permission to enter a doll.  Dun Dun Dun.  Starring in the August horror movie are Miranda Otto (Lord of the Rings), Lulu Wilson (Ouija: Origin of Evil), Anthony LaPaglia (damn, I haven’t seen this guy in a while), and more.  David F. Sandberg directs the doll this time around.  Sandberg has directed 2016’s Lights Out.  Gary Dauberman, who wrote the screenplay for this, has also written 2017’s It.  Dauberman is also signed on to write The Nun, which would then be the fifth Conjuring flick.  Want some August horror?  Then hit the theater to see this.

The Glass Castle

The Glass Castle is based on a true story and the book, which lasted 261 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list.  This film tells the story of Jeannette Walls’ family and her poverty-stricken upbringing.  Brie Larson, Woody Harrelson, and Naomi Watts are the leads of this film.  I wonder if Brie and Naomi talked about King Kong.  Destin Daniel Cretton directs this biographical drama.  Cretton directed Short Term 12 in 2013, which also starred Brie Larson.  The vibe I am getting from this trailer is a kinda sequel to Captain Fantastic.  Anyway, go check this out.

The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature

These fury, friendly animals must stop the mayor from destroying their home only to build an amusement park.  Lending their voices for this animated sequel are Will Arnett, Katherine Heigl, Jackie Chan, Peter Stormare, Bobby Cannavale, Sebastian Maniscalco, and more.  Co-writing and directing these crazy animals or animators is Cal Brunker.  Brunker directed Escape from Planet Earth, as well as directing The Nut Job 3.  Don’t be nut job this weekend, go see The Nut Job.
