Every now and again, it seems like every other movie trailer that pops on the screen features the same actor.

I’ve been feeling like this is the winter of Kevin Hart.

The latest for the funny man is ‘Ride Along,’ in which he plays security guard who tries to prove he’s worthy of taking the hand of a terrific woman by joining her brother — a policeman played by rapper/actor Ice Cube — on a night of action in Atlanta.

That’s one of four coming to a big screen near you this weekend.

Also on the newbie schedule are the CIA thriller “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit,” animated squirrel caper “The Nut Job,” and scary piece “Devil’s Due.”

And come back after the weekend to find my review of one of these four.
