'SICARIO: DAY OF THE SOLDADO'
Rated R for strong violence, bloody images and language.
What it's about: A sequel to "Sicario," this exploration of shady government operations at the southern border is just as bleak and hopeless as the first.
The kid attractor factor: Kids will not be attracted to this political noir, but teens may be interested thanks to stars Benicio del Toro and Josh Brolin.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Not a lot of good lessons in this violent and morally absurd film, other than be careful in what you get caught up in.
Violence: A lot of gory violence and attacks from suicide bombing to shootings to fist-fighting.
Language: Strong language and swearing throughout.
Sexuality: None
Drugs: Mention of drug cartels.
Parents advisory: Far too violent and bleak for young audiences _ mature teens only.
'UNCLE DREW'
Rated PG-13 for suggestive material, language and brief nudity.
What it's about: A down-on-his-luck coach links up with a crew of aging ballers to compete in a street ball tournament.
The kid attractor factor: The broad humor and sports stars will draw younger audiences.
Good lessons/bad lessons: You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take. Choose your family and take your shot.
Violence: None.
Language: Some strong language.
Sexuality: A kiss, some discussion of sex, a flash of Shaq's bare butt.
Drugs: None.
Parents advisory: A fun sports comedy that would be a blast for families.
