New Releases and Top 5 Flicks on Redbox

It's going to be cold this weekend, Waukee. Like really cold. And since I'm really good at staying warm, I'd like to suggest you stay at home, bundle up and watch a movie.

But what should you see? Well, I'm really good at suggesting that too.

Here are some of Redbox's newest releases this week:

Peace, Love and Misunderstanding - For uptight Manhattan lawyer Diane, crazy means driving her teenage son Jake and daughter Zoe to Woodstock to visit their "hippie" grandmother Grace (Jane Fonda). The crazy part is that the kids have never met Grace and Diane hasn't spoken to her mother in twenty years. But what's meant to be a weekend getaway turns into a summer adventure of romance, music, family secrets, and self-discovery.

Redbox Review: 3.5 Stars  Rating: R Stars: Jane Fonda, Catherine Keener, Chace Crawford, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Nat Wolff

Five - Five brilliant artists join forces against breast cancer as each directs a short segment of this groundbreaking movie. "Charlotte" depicts a woman struggling to say goodbye to her young daughter. The story of "Mia" is conveyed through a series of flashbacks. "Cheyanne" is a gorgeous stripper whose new marriage is shaken by her disease. "Lili" follows an overachiever who turns to her sister for help telling their mother of her diagnosis. And, finally, in "Pearl," an oncologist suddenly finds herself in the patient’s seat.

Swinging With the Finkels - Alvin and Ellie met as students at university and fell in love. Ten years later, they are married with successful careers and very little time for each other and are dangerously close to falling out of love. As the marriage of their closest friends, Peter and Janet, hits the rocks after Peter embarks on a steamy affair, the Finkels begin to analyze their relationship and wonder if they have a marriage worth saving. Do they stay together and continue with their increasingly stale relationship, or should they attempt to relight the flame that they are both missing? Alvin and Ellie are about to discover whether swinging is the answer to their marital problems.

Life Happens - Kim, Deena and Laura all live under the same roof in Los Angeles. When one of Kim's one-night-stands results in an unexpected pregnancy, things take a sudden turn for the trio. With the help of her girlfriends, Kim must cope with single motherhood as she jumps back into the dating scene, afraid that toting around a tot can be a dating 'buzz-kill.'
