Movies to See, Rent, Skip?: ‘No Escape,’ ‘We Are Your Friends,’ ‘Jimmy’s Hall’

Friend of the Rocker Morning Show, man-about town, movie critic, and raconteur, Ryan Jay stopped by The Rocker Morning Show to talk movies opening this weekend.

Here's what he had to say about the three movies below — he tells us whether to "see it," "rent it" or "skip it":

• No Escape:
  • Owen Wilson works well in a drama and even keeps a bit of comedy that works well in the film.
  • So intense, so suspenseful – “I felt jolts of adrenaline throughout.”
  • When it gets going, it doesn’t let up.
  • See it!
• We Are Your Friends:
  • Mildly better than the trailer.
  • For the college-loving crowd.
  • The movie is average, loses focus.
  • Rent it.
• Jimmy’s Hall:
  • Based on the real life of Jimmy Gralton.
  • A real-life “Footloose.”
  • Not great casting, not a great script.
  • Don’t waste your time.
  • Skip it.
