Movies Coming Out This Weekend
Ted 2 – Rated R
Seth MacFarlane returns as Mark Wahlberg’s foul-mouthed talking teddy bear Ted. He also wrote and directed both movies. This one’s about his struggle to prove he’s a person.
He gets married, but then the government reacts by declaring he’s just property. In addition to revoking Ted’s marriage license, that ruling shuts down his plans to adopt. So he hires Amanda Seyfried to fight for his rights in court.
“Mad Men’s” John Slattery is the prosecutor, Morgan Freeman plays a legendary civil rights lawyer, and Tom Brady has a memorable cameo as himself when the guys try to harvest his man-seed so Ted’s wife can have a baby.

Max – Rated PG
Max is a military service dog working the frontlines in Afghanistan until an accident kills his Marine handler. The traumatized dog refuses to work with anyone else and gets shipped stateside, where it slowly bonds with the guy’s younger brother.
Robbie Amell from “The DUFF” plays the dead Marine, Thomas Haden Church and Lauren Graham play his parents, and his brother is a kid named Josh Wiggins.

The Wolfpack
This documentary follows the Angulo brothers who were locked away from society in an apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and discovered about the outside world through the films that they watch.
Nicknamed the Wolfpack, the brothers spend their childhood re-enacting their favorite films using elaborate homemade props and costumes. With no friends and living on welfare, they feed their curiosity, creativity, and imagination with film, which allows them to escape from their feelings of isolation and loneliness. Everything changes when one of the brothers escapes, and the power dynamics in the house are transformed. The Wolfpack must learn how to integrate into society without disbanding the brotherhood.
