War Dogs

March 31, 2016

Director Todd Phillips

Genre Comedy | Drama

Cast Jonah Hill, Miles Teller, Ana de Armas, Jeff Pierre

Rating R

Release Date August 19th, 2016

“The true story of two young men, David Packouz and Efraim Diveroli, who won a $300 million contract from the Pentagon to arm America’s allies in Afghanistan”

War Dogs is directed by Todd Phillips who has a number of successful comedy directing credits under his belt including Old School, the Hangover, Due Date etc. Bottom line he knows his way around a comedy and is no stranger to throwing in a little action while hes at it. The film is based on a true story (believe it or not) and stars top-tier actors Jonah Hill and Miles Teller. Teller doesn't have quite the notoriety that Hill has but he is a great actor. War Dogs looks like it is going to be amazing and I already have high expectations for this summer. Check out the extremely entertaining trailer below.

You never quite now what to expect with the horror genre these days but Before I Wake is certainly an intriguing entry. From director Mike Flanagan who also directed the highly rated horror film Oculus, it stars Kate Bosworth and Jacom Tremblay from the Oscar-winning film Room. Before I Wake looks like it could provide plenty of scares and I am looking forward to it. Check out the trailer below.
