The Hitman&#8217;s Bodyguard (Lionsgate\/Summit, 3,377 Theaters, 118 Minutes,\u00a0Rated R for strong violence and language throughout, Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer at press time: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/the_hitmans_bodyguard\/\">35% Fresh <\/a>[80 Reviews]): <\/strong>Hey, look! It&#8217;s the Nick Fury\/Deadpool team up that will never happen!<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Reynolds plays a bodyguard whose latest client (Samuel L. Jackson) is a hit man who tried to kill him 28 times in the past. His job is to keep the hitman safe until he could testify in international court. That&#8217;s hard because nobody wants to kill the hitman as badly as himself.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson and Reynolds are two actors who excel at playing characters with attitudes. However, they have made a lot of bad films in the past. Looks like they might have just made another one.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IpKmt4MpctM?ecver=2\" width=\"675\" height=\"380\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-41022\" src=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/New-releases-logan-lucky-poster-229x339.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/New-releases-logan-lucky-poster-229x339.jpg 229w, https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/New-releases-logan-lucky-poster-678x1005.jpg 678w, https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/New-releases-logan-lucky-poster.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 229px) 100vw, 229px\" \/>2. Logan Lucky (Bleeker Street, 3,031 Theaters, 119 Minutes,\u00a0Rated PG-13 for language and some crude comments,\u00a0Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer at press time: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/logan_lucky\/\">93% Fresh <\/a>[107 Reviews]): <\/strong>Steven Soderbergh has been known to direct a great caper film or two. But it seems like he is channeling the Coen Brothers with this one, his fifth pairing with Channing Tatum.<\/p>\n<p>Tatum and Adam Driver play brothers who are down on their luck. They decide that a change is in order, and, as such, resolve to make that change by robbing the Coca Cola 600 NASCAR race.<\/p>\n<p>The trailer looks good and the cast is superb. So what if the characters are a bit more quirky than Soderbergh usually presents. This film is the week&#8217;s best bet.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aPzvKH8AVf0?ecver=2\" width=\"675\" height=\"380\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Next week&#8217;s new releases include an animated tale of a girl ballerina and another biopic for the legendary Bruce Lee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">New releases this week include THE HITMAN&#8217;S BODYGUARD and LOGAN LUCKY.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2017\/08\/18\/new-releases-august-18-2017\/\" title=\"New Releases: August 18, 2017\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":41023,"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":[9130,641,441,587,1439,9164,7880,1623,249,3285,6787,9163],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-41021","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-bleeker-street","9":"tag-bruce-lee","10":"tag-channing-tatum","11":"tag-coen-brothers","12":"tag-lionsgate","13":"tag-logan-lucky","14":"tag-new-releases","15":"tag-ryan-reynolds","16":"tag-samuel-l-jackson","17":"tag-steven-soderbergh","18":"tag-summit","19":"tag-the-hitmans-bodyguard"},"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\/41021","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=41021"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41021\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41021"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41021"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41021"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=41021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
