Pete's Dragon

Cast Bryce Dallas Howard, Karl Urban, Robert Redford, Wes Bentley

Rating PG

Release Date August 12th, 2016

“The adventures of an orphaned boy named Pete and his best friend Elliott, who just so happens to be a dragon.”

I thought this was the sequel to Jurassic World at first, I mean a dragon is sort of a dinosaur right? Between that and Bryce Dallas Howard I had to do a double take. It turns out Pete's Dragon is based on a 1977 musical but thankfully this 2016 remake is not a musical (seriously, not a fan of musicals). Pete's Dragon stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Karl Urban, Robert Redford, and Wes Bentley. Check out the latest trailers below.

Rating PG-13

Release Date July 29th, 2016

“Jason Bourne, now remembering who he truly is, tries to uncover hidden truths about his past.”
jason bourne 1.JPG

Matt Damon is back as Jason Bourne and honestly that has me pretty excited. I was a bit embarrassed when he did an interview at the Golden Globes explaining that he was jumping on a flight immediately following the event to work on shooting the film. I had no idea a new Jason Bourne film was in the works although I had heard rumors. The Film is directed by Paul Greengrass who is quite familiar with Matt Damon having directed The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, and The Green Zone, all starring Damon. Even though the plot is currently unknown (we all know what is going to happen), Jason Bourne is the ultimate badass and I look forward to seeing him crack some skulls. Check out the teaser trailer below.

JASON BOURNE In Theaters July 29 www.jasonbournemovie.com Matt Damon returns to his most iconic role in Jason Bourne. Paul Greengrass, the director of The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, once again joins Damon for the next chapter of Universal Pictures' Bournefranchise, which finds the CIA's most lethal former operative drawn out of the shadows.

The full official trailer for Jason Bourne is below.
