Meat at the Movies: A Plethora of Movies

Come young come old, come boy come girl. There are more than enough new movies to satisfy everyone this week. Paddington, American Sniper, Blackhat and The Wedding Ringer are the movies to pick from.

Starting with the kids book tuned top rated movie this week, Paddington follows a young bear called Paddington who leaved his homeland of Peru because of an earthquake. He finds himself living in London with a family as he adjusts to the city life. All is going well until a taxidermist shows some interest in him. With a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, critics are calling this great for kids and adults. It'll keep you laughing while still following a meaningful story about belonging.

Bradley Cooper stars in the number two rated based-on-a-true-story-movie American Sniper. Directed by Clint Eastwood, Cooper plays a real hero who had earned the nickname "Legend" because of his great accuracy U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle. While the stories of his greatness grew back at home, they also grew in Iraq making him a prime target during his four tours. With a rating of 73% on Rotten Tomatoes, critics are not surprised Cooper has gotten some attention during this awards season and are calling this one of Eastwood's best.

Next on the list is Blackhat. The man we know as Thor, Chris Hemsworth takes a step out of the super hero world and into the world of cyber crime. The movie follows a convict played by Hemsworth as he and his partners track down a cyber-crime network. With only a 48% on Rotten Tomatoes this film doesn't look like it will be going too far. Critics are saying that there is too much going on throughout the movie and there is not much keeping the audience's attention even if you have the hots for Hemsworth or are a fan of Michal Manns movies.

Lastly, the lowest rated movie of the week, The Wedding Ringer starring Kevin Hart and Josh Gad sits at 29% on Rotten Tomatoes. Gad plays a socially awkward man who is about to get married but has no best man. He is referred to the owner of a company, played by Hart, that deals with providing best men for situations like this. Now, to me this looks like the movie Hitch with Will Smith, just the next step, not getting the girl but completing the whole thing.

As always, check out the trailers below and until next week, we'll MEAT at the movies!
