RECOMMENDED: Indeed, you have done your part lately: You got your brainy on and went to see Moonrise Kingdom; your bore down and got bored by Radiohead and the specter of Thom Yorke’s utterly offensive (on several levels) ponytail; even your current beach reading is ponderous. You deserve a break. You deserve Rock of Ages. Rock of Ages, which might be the most accidentally-on-purpose in-theater laff-fest since Showgirls; Rock of Ages, which features Alec Baldwin in the role of Every Club Owner Ever; Rock of Ages, which sees Tom Cruise once again channelling the great Frank “T.J.” Mackey. Rock of Ages, because sadly, for some reason, nobody thought to bring back Point Break to theaters this summer.

ALSO NEW IN THEATERS THIS WEEK: That’s My Boy, which presents a conundrum to us, as people who like Adam Sandler movies, in that Andy Samberg, well, Andy Samberg should not be in movies; Safety Not Guaranteed, starring Aubrey Plaza in a romcom about time travel that might not actually be a piece of shit!; and Lola Versus, which unjustly and unfairly places Greta Gerwig in some kind of half-baked hackneyed chick flick shit that is just depressing. Lena Dunham, beware: The raod to hell is paved with good intentions.
