On Friday, August 1, 2014,Imagination Entertainment and Walt Disney Studios are Taking over the box office. Sorry kids, Friday is strictly PG-13. If you’re lucky, you might be able to talk your parents, siblings, or guardian into taking you to see Guardians of the Galaxy or Get on Up. Honestly, you will probably have an easier time with Guardians of the Galaxy. It is only rated PG-13 for Sci-Fi violence sequences and offensive language. I can’t say the same for Get on Up.
Ladies, Walt Disney Studios and Marvel Studios have a treat for you. Guardians of the Galaxy is full of eye candy. Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Lee Pace, and Djimon Hounsou are all in one movie! The candy dish is smaller than Takers, but Guardians of the Galaxy has quantity over quality. Plus, there is something for everyone. If you don’t need man candy to see this film, you will be pleased to know which team the movie is about.
Like all Marvel Movies, Guardians of the Galaxy is based on the comic book. However, there are two teams. In 1969, The original team made its debut into the Marvel Universe Earth 691. They were created by Arnold Drake and Gene Conan. This film is based on the second team that debuted in 2008. This time, the team appeared in its own self-titled comic book. The original team was sub characters in other Marvel Comics.
In the Marvel Universe, the 2008 team is created by Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), a half martin half American pilot. After stealing an orb, Peter Quill becomes Ronan the Accusers target. To stay alive, he has to bring an unlikely crew together. Who knew stealing an orb could cause so much strife the universe?

[ New Page = Get on Up ]
Get on Up is a biopic about the late James Brown, who passed away December 6, 2006. If you liked Ray, you need to see this film Friday, August 1, 2014. Get on Up is directed by Tate Taylor. Though Tate Taylor is an actor, he is best known for directing The Help. Plus, Chadwick Boseman is playing James Brown. This is not his first Biopic. Last year, Chadwick Boseman hit the big screen as Jackie Robinson in ’42. His emotional range was impressive. You could feel his anger, sorrow, and joy. However, acting and singing are two different things. I’ll admit, I am apprehensive about this. So was Chadwick Boseman. He revealed his concern about playing James Brown in an interview with Russ Par. You can listen to the interview here.

I’m surprised this film is only rated PG-13. It has sexual content, drug use, strong language, and violence. James Brown has a very colorful past. Yes, he is one of the world’s most influential black musicians, but that is only a quarter of his life. You will be shocked to see some of the things that he went through. Though this is a drama and biopic, there are comedic moments. There should be. In spite of everything life is full of laughs.
