Mission Impossible Rogue Nation
Unless you have been living under a rock, you have heard that 53-year-old Tom Cruise did almost all of his own stunts for the fifth installment of “Mission Impossible.”
Action
Self/Less
Ryan Reynolds annoys me, there, I said it. Self/Less biggest problem is the baggage that Reynolds brings with him.
Terminator Genisys
It’s really difficult to keep track of all the “Terminator” revamps since its 1984 debut, launching the career or Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Jurassic World
22 years after the groundbreaking original, “Jurassic World” aims to recapture the imagination we felt when Steven Spielberg put life-like dinosaurs on screen for the first time. Director Colin Trevorrow (“Safety Not Guaranteed”) worked very close with Spielberg to get this one right, as “The Lost World” (1997) and “Jurassic Park III” (2001) are regarded
San Adreas

Adding a host of new characters including Oscar winner Octavia Spencer (Snowpiercer, The Help) and Oscar nominee Naomi Watts (Birdman, The Impossible), the
Spy
Director Paul Feig (The Heat, Bridesmaids) said he would never be allowed to directed a James Bond film (thank goodness!), so this was as closest he would ever get. Action comedies have never been able to blend both genres successfully (and I am talking about art, not getting some tub of popcorn to laugh at
