Latest MPAA Ratings: BULLETIN NO: 2222

By Brad Brevet

This has to be one of the biggest MPAA rating bulletins I’ve ever had to put together with 11 prominent films getting new ratings or amended ratings.

Included is Julie Delpy’s 2 Days in New York co-starring Chris Rock, Pixar’s Brave, the upcoming dramedy Celeste and Jesse Forever, Marjane Satrapi’s Chicken with Plums, William Friedkin’s Killer Joe which gets an updated NC-17 rating reason, an R-rating for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Witness Protection, the horror collaboration V/H/S, The Words starring Zoe Saldana and Bradley Cooper, the R-rated rom-com Ruby Sparks and Sylvester Stallone’s newly dated Bullet to the Head.

Like I said, it is packed and if you’re wondering what that film called Kiara the Brave is considering its similar rating to Pixar’s Brave, just click here and bask in the glory of some of the best animation you’ve ever seen. EVAR!
