Suicide Squad

March 28, 2016

Director David Ayer

Genre Action | Adventure | Fantasy

Cast Margot Robbie, Scott Eastwood, Will Smith, Jared Leto

Rating PG-13

Release Date August 5th, 2016

“A secret government agency recruits imprisoned supervillains to execute dangerous black ops missions in exchange for clemency.”

So let me think about this for a second, a take on the dark side of the world of superheroes, the supervillains as they are known, with the scantily clad Harley Quinn played by the beautiful and tantalizing Margot Robbie? Sure she might be as crazy as they come, but I am all in on this one. Ohh yeah Will Smith, Jared Leto, Joel Kinnaman, Jai Courtney, Scott Eastwood, and Ben Affleck also star Suicide Squad. To say I can't wait would be an understatement. Check out the latest trailers below.

Captain Fantastic

March 26, 2016

Director Matt Ross

Genre Drama

Cast Viggo Mortensen, George MacKay, Samantha Isler, Annalise Basso

Rating R

Release Date July 8th, 2016

“In the forests of the Pacific Northwest, a father devoted to raising his six kids with a rigorous physical and intellectual education is forced to leave his paradise and enter the world, challenging his idea of what it means to be a parent.”

Captain Fantastic is written and directed by Matt Ross, an accomplished actor most recently known for his role as Gavin Belsen on the HBO's series Silicon Valley. Classified as a drama, the film looks to share certain Wes Anderson qualities but does focus on some serious and very real source material. Starring Viggo Mortensen, George MacKay, Samantha Isler, and Annalise Basso, Captain Fantastic looks to be another big film for the indie film audience in 2016. Check out the trailer below.

The Lobster

March 16, 2016

Director Yorgos Lanthimos

Genre Comedy | Drama | Romance

Cast Colin Farrell, Rachel Weisz, John C. Reilly, Ariane Labed

Rating R

Release Date May 13th, 2016

“In a dystopian near future, single people, according to the laws of The City, are taken to The Hotel, where they are obliged to find a romantic partner in forty-five days or are transformed into beasts and sent off into The Woods.”

Colin Farrell is a fantastic actor who has built himself quite the resume. Like many of Hollywood's leading men, every now and again they star in something a bit unique and very much under-the-radar. The Lobster has a very interesting premise and looks like a film that is much deeper than it may seem to be at first glimpse. The film will undoubtedly receive a limited release but I think it looks good. Check out the trailer below.

The Jungle Book is directed by actor/director Jon Favreau who previously directed Iron Man 1 & 2.

Zootopia

January 9, 2016

Director Byron Howard, Rich Moore, Jared Bush

Genre Animation | Action | Adventure

Cast Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Idris Elba, Shakira

Rating PG

Release Date March 4th, 2016

“In a city of anthropomorphic animals, a fugitive con artist fox and a rookie bunny cop must work together to uncover a conspiracy.”

From the creators of Frozen, which was an absolute hit, and Big Hero 6, is Disney's newest animated feature Zootopia. With a fantastic cast of voice actors and a creative and genuinely fun premise, Zootopia looks like it could end up being yet another feather in the family friendly studio's cap. I expect this to be a new favorite with the kids so be sure to check out the trailer below and prepare to get the family together on March 4th! Zootopia will also be shown in 3D.
