New Movie Releases: ‘Mama,’ ‘Broken City,’ ‘The Last Stand’

The Takeaway

Friday is movie day on the Takeaway. And this week, the studios offer three very different movies, all star-packed. For horror fans, there’s “Mama,” starring Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain. For fans of suspense, there’s “Broken City,” starring Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe, and Catherine Zeta Jones. Finally, for action lovers, there’s “The Last Stand,” starring the former governor of California, and that one dude from “Jackass.” What’s his name?
The Takeaway’s Movie Date team, Rafer Guzman and Kristen Meinzer, weigh in as usual. In addition to hosting the podcast, Rafer is film critic for Newsday and Kristen is culture producer for the Takeaway.
