‘Star Trek 2’, ‘Kick-Ass 2’, ‘Grown Ups 2’, ‘After Earth’ and ‘World War Z’ in Today’s MPAA Ratings

By Brad Brevet

A massive update from the MPAA has come in this afternoon beginning with a boatload of sequels such as Star Trek Into Darkness, Kick-Ass 2 and Grown Ups 2, the latter of which has one hell of a comical reason that includes a PG-13 for “some male rear nudity”. Thanks for being so specific MPAA.

We also have ratings for M. Night Shyamalan‘s After Earth, the zombie epic World War Z starring Brad Pitt, Neil Jordan‘s vampire effort Byzantium with Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan.

Rounding out the well knowns is Fox’s animated feature Epic and the star-studded comedy This is the End.

Also included in this release is the Wesley Snipes zombie-hunting western Gallowalkers, which I out of jail I guess he can do some promotional tours.
