in-theaters-burnt-our-brand-is-crisis-scouts-guide-to-the-zombie-apocalypse-bare

This week in theaters there's not really a lot of Halloween action in terms of new releases, although most of them are somewhat dark in tone. In wide release we have the chef drama "Burnt" starring Bradley Cooper, the political satire "Our Brand is Crisis" starring Sandra Bullock and the horror comedy "Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse". In limited release the drama "Bare" starring Dianna Agron and Paz de la Huerta might be worth checking out.

Synopses, details, critical reception, trailers, clips and more after the jump.


BURNT


Burnt Movie Image

Official Synopsis

Chef Adam Jones (Bradley Cooper) had it all - and lost it. The former enfant terrible of the Paris restaurant scene had earned two Michelin stars and only ever cared about the thrill of creating explosions of taste. To land his own kitchen and that third elusive star though, Jones will need to leave his bad habits behind and get the best of the best on his side, including the beautiful Helene (Sienna Miller). BURNT is a remarkably funny and emotional story about the love of food, the love between two people, and the power of second chances.

OUR BRAND IS CRISIS


Our Brand is Crisis

Official Synopsis

A Bolivian presidential candidate failing badly in the polls enlists the firepower of an elite American management team, led by the deeply damaged but still brilliant strategist “Calamity” Jane Bodine (Bullock). In self-imposed retirement following a scandal that earned her nickname and rocked her to her core, Jane is coaxed back into the game for the chance to beat her professional nemesis, the loathsome Pat Candy (Thornton), now coaching the opposition.

But as Candy zeroes in on every vulnerability – both on and off the campaign trail – Jane is plunged into a personal crisis as intense as the one her team exploits nationally to boost their numbers. Dramatic, rapid-fire and laced with satire, “Our Brand is Crisis” reveals the cynical machinations and private battles of world-class political consultants for whom nothing is sacred and winning is all that matters.
