Coming Soon To Theaters: New Movies To See This September

By Elana Goodwin on August 25, 2014

September is typically the month you’re settling back into the school routine which means you’re definitely going to need a break from the homework, classes and daily grind.

Luckily, there’s some awesome-looking movies being released in September that would be the perfect reward for yourself after a hard and stressful week of class.

Here are the movies coming out in September that you need to see.

“Search Party.” This rated-R comedy is slated to come out on September 12 and stars Alison Brie (“Community,” “Mad Men”), Krysten Ritter (“Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23,” “Veronica Mars”), T.J. Miller (“Silicon Valley,” “The Goodwin Games”), and Adam Pally (“The Mindy Project,” “Happy Endings”).

No trailer for the movie has been released yet but the basic plot of the film is a couple of friends set out on a journey to reunite their friend with the woman he was going to marry.

While there’s not too much known about this project yet, it does have an awesome cast made up of funny people, so here’s hoping the plot follows through and makes for a good time.

“The Maze Runner.” Based on the bestselling young adult novel by James Dashner, this PG-13 sci-fi action/mystery movie follows Thomas (Dylan O’Brien, “Teen Wolf”) who, after his memory is erased, finds himself in a group of boys trapped in a maze.

Thomas soon realizes the only hope of them getting out of the maze is if all the “runners” work together. The film is to be released on September 19 and also stars Kaya Scodelario (“Skins”), Thomas Brodie-Sangster (“Game of Thrones”), and Will Poulter (“We’re the Millers”).

The movie looks action-packed and hopefully it will stay true to the book so both fans of the novel and non-readers can enjoy the adaptation.

“This Is Where I Leave You.” This emotional comedy is based on the bestselling novel by Jonathan Tropper and follows four siblings who come home after their father passes away.

For a week, they live under the same roof, along with their mother, history, problems, various significant others, exes, and more, and reconnect as a family and as people.

The film, which is rated R, stars Jason Bateman (“Arrested Development”), Tina Fey (“30 Rock”), Jane Fonda (“The Newsroom”) and Adam Driver (“Girls”).

The movie has an amazing cast and looks like it’ll be a great movie with lots of laughs but with serious parts too that will make you think of your own dysfunctional family. “This Is Where I Leave You” opens in theaters September 19.

“A Walk Among the Tombstones.” This rated-R crime/action/mystery movie stars Liam Neeson (of the “Taken” movies) as a private investigator hired by a drug lord to track down the people who kidnapped and murdered his wife.

Based on the novel by Lawrence Block, the dark thriller looks like “Taken” on steroids and is sure to please fans of high-octane action. The movie, which comes out September 19, also stars Dan Stevens (“Downtown Abbey”), Boyd Holbrook (“Little Accidents”), and Sebastian Roche (“The Originals”).

“The Skeleton Twins.” Slated for release on September 12, this R-rated drama has an all-star funny cast of Kristen Wiig (“Bridesmaids”), Bill Hader (“Saturday Night Live”), Ty Burrell (“Modern Family”) and Luke Wilson (“Enlightened”).

The movie follows twin siblings, Wiig and Hader, who after being estranged for 10 years, cheat death on the same day, which ends up pushing them to reunite. As they reconnect, they soon realize that in order to fix their lives, they just may first have to fix their relationship with each other.

The film won Best Screenplay at the Sundance Film Festival and has been called “really funny and surprisingly emotional” by Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment and “hilarious and heart-crushingly real” by Peter Travers of Rolling Stone.

“The Skeleton Twins” comes out September 12, and it’s one movie I will most definitely be seeing this September in theaters.

“The Equalizer.” This crime action/thriller stars Denzel Washington (“Flight”) as McCall, an ex black ops soldier who, after faking his own death, lives a quiet life in Boston.

McCall flies under the radar in his new life until he meets a young girl (Chloe Grace Moretz, “If I Stay”) under the control of brutal Russian gangsters and feels compelled to rescue her.

His intervention on her behalf draws the attention of the higher-ups in the Russian mob and soon they are after him and those he loves. The movie, which comes out September 26, has not yet been rated, and also stars Marton Csokas (“Rogue”) and David Harbour (“Manhattan”).

In the 1980s, “The Equalizer” was a TV show on CBS that starred Edward Woodward as a retired intelligence officer who helped those in trouble; the 2014 movie is a film adaptation based on the TV series.

So this September, take a relaxation break from studying and homework and reward yourself by going to see a movie! Whether you’re in the mood for a comedy, drama, or action/thriller, the new movies coming out in September are sure to have something for everyone.
