King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (Warners, 3,702 Theaters, 126 Minutes, Rated PG-13 for sequences of violence and action, some suggestive content and brief strong language, Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer at press time: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/king_arthur_legend_of_the_sword\/\">26% Fresh <\/a>[117 Reviews]): <\/strong>The legend of King Arthur is such a malleable story that it can be adapted into many different genres. It fits in action, romance, musicals and comedy. There is very little that can&#8217;t be done with the concept.<\/p>\n<p>This one is helmed by Guy Ritchie, a director who has experience breathing life into legendary British characters with his work with Sherlock Holmes. He presents a grim and gritty take on the legend, where Arthur is a street rat before coming into his true destiny as king.<\/p>\n<p>But grim and gritty does not mean that it needs to be drab and dull. The muted color scheme makes everything watch out, and gives the promise of a film you&#8217;d have to slog through instead of a rousing adventure that you would enjoy.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gikh5o9fc8g?ecver=2\" width=\"675\" height=\"380\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-40456\" src=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/New-Releases-Snatched-poster-229x339.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/New-Releases-Snatched-poster-229x339.jpg 229w, https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/New-Releases-Snatched-poster-678x1005.jpg 678w, https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/New-Releases-Snatched-poster.jpg 1012w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 229px) 100vw, 229px\" \/>2. Snatched (Fox, 3,501 Theaters, 90 Minutes, Rated R for crude sexual content, brief nudity, and language throughout, <b>Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer at press time: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/snatched_2017\/\">37% Fresh <\/a>[103 Reviews]): <\/b><\/strong>Amy Schumer is an unmitigated genius and one of the funniest people on the planet. <strong>Inside Amy Schumer <\/strong>is one of the best shows on TV, especially when it delves into social and political commentary.<\/p>\n<p>She made a big splash in films with <strong>Trainwreck<\/strong>, which she also wrote and played up to her strengths. But if she wants to have a movie career, she is going to have to put herself in the hands of other people and do films she has no control over the content.<\/p>\n<p>On paper, this seemed like a good project. It&#8217;s written by Kate Dippold, who wrote <strong>The Heat<\/strong>, and directed by Jonathan Levine, who wrote and directed the excellent <strong>Warm Bodies<\/strong>. So it is surprising that even the trailer make the film seem like a hackneyed premise stretch to its breaking point. A film so unfunny that not even the legendary Goldie Hawn could save it.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QcyeYFXdHNQ?ecver=2\" width=\"675\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Thing might get better next week as the new releases promise something for everyone, assuming you like vicious aliens, sick teens and family road trips.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">New Releases this week include KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD and SNATCHED.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2017\/05\/12\/new-releases-may-12-2017\/\" title=\"New Releases: May 12, 2017\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":40454,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[6691,2228,2646,9049,4225,9046,8379,9048,9047,6112,9045],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-40452","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-amy-schumer","9":"tag-fox","10":"tag-goldie-hawn","11":"tag-inside-amy-schumer","12":"tag-jonathan-levine","13":"tag-kate-dippold","14":"tag-king-arthur-legend-of-the-sword","15":"tag-snatched","16":"tag-the-heat","17":"tag-warm-bodies","18":"tag-warners"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2,4],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40452"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40452\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40452"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=40452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
