‘Unbroken’, ‘Poltergeist’, ‘Most Violent Year’ & ‘Scorpion King 4’ in Today’s MPAA Ratings

Pretty good update this week as we kick things off with J.C. Chandor‘s A Most Violent Year and its R rating, the only “R” rating among the notable titles this week as fellow Oscar contender, Angelina Jolie‘s Unbroken comes in with a PG-13 rating, though by the sounds of it it’s a pretty strong one.

Possible foreign language contender, Two Days, One Night from the Dardennes and starring Marion Cotillard scored a PG-13, as did the upcoming Poltergeist remake.

Also in the bulletin today is Bill Pohland‘s Love & Mercy starring Paul Dano as reclusive Beach Boys songwriter Brian Wilson. And, finally Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb takes home a family friendly PG.

Oh, and as for The Scorpion King 4: Quest For Power, it’s coming to Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD on January 20, 2015, and you won’t believe it, but on top of starring Victor Webster (The Scorpion King: The Battle for Redemption) in the title role, this one includes Lou Ferrigno (“The Incredible Hulk”), Barry Bostwick (“Cougar Town”), Michael Biehn (The Terminator) and even Rutger Hauer (“True Blood,” Blade Runner).
