That's right. There were four new movies out today, and those were Dredd, End of Watch, Trouble With The Curve, and House at the End of the Street. The only movie I didn't see, was of course the last film mentioned.
Dredd is of course the rebooting of the Sylvester Stallone Judge Dredd franchise, and it is one of the rare (at least I think it's rare) where the reboot is better than the original. With this reboot, it's not close, this movie is better. There is certainly more action in the film, and more violence in this film, compared to the original. In the film, Dredd trains a rookie named Anderson, whom is played by Olivia Thrilby, whom shines in this film, especially as it progresses, and their is good chemistry between Karl Urban, and Oliva Thrilby.
I won't go into plot of End of Watch. If you haven't seen the trailer yet, you should, and that's basically the plot of the film. The movie was better than I thought it'd be, and I felt the ending didn't do the film any justice, primarily the film was mostly realistic throughout, but unrealistic in the end.
Lastly, the baseball film Trouble with the Curve. This film could be a possible award nominee come Oscar time, but that could easily change as other movies come out between now and the end of December. If your thinking this film is another Moneyball, don't, as you'd be disappointed. This film is completely different and centers around a scout for the Atlanta Braves, whom is old and has eye problems (played by Clint Eastwood), and his daughter (played by Amy Adams, whom has inherited her father's baseball instincts) in the Carolina's as they scout the top prospect going into the draft. They have their issues, as they don't exactly get along, and that plays itself out throughout the film.
If I were to recommend any of the movies, in order: Trouble with the Curve, Dredd, and End of Watch. All three were good (in my opinion), but those were how the movies ranked with me.
