Safety Not Guaranteed-What is someone placed an article in the newspaper saying they had a time machine and was looking for someone to go back in time with them. Well that’s the premise of Safety Not Guaranteed. Three magazine reporters head out to find the guy who claims he can time travel. This is a fun little comedy with Aubrey Plaze, Jake Johnson (New Girl), and Mark Duplass (The League). Got good reviews at Sundance and I enjoyed it when I saw it over the summer. Directed by Colin Trevorrow
Ruby Sparks- An romantic comedy with a fantasy twist. Ruby Sparks is about a writer played by Paul Dano (There Will be Blood) who after getting writers block writes about the girl of his dreams. And one day he wakes up the girl Ruby Sparks (Zoe Kazan) really exists. Directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (Little Miss Sunshine)
A Christmas Story 2-Why make a sequel to a classic that is 30 years old? The only reason is to make money. This story takes place 5 years after the first movie and instead of Ralphie wanting a BB gun he now wants a car. There are no reviews of the movie since the studio did not send out any screeners so take a chance on it if you want.
Directed by Brian Levant (Beethoven, The Flintstones)
