The unconventional but flawed comedy Going in Style mostly keeps our attention. Mostly. Review by Matt Cummings There's a trap in this business that many reviewers seem unable to avoid: they expect too much from movies, either in terms of story, characters, or other unrealistic forces. Not every movie needs to be an Oscar winner, nor does it have to be the best movie you've ever seen. Sometimes movies can merely entertain, like a light dessert that's instantly forgettable but still satisfying at the time. Such is the case with Going in Style , an unconventional comedy that spends way too much time building up its story, only to see it end exactly the way we predicted. Three lifelong friends - Willie (Morgan Freeman), Joe (Michael Caine), and Albert (Alan Arkin) - learn that their steel mill pensions are being ended after the company's sale, putting all three out on the street within 30 days. For Joe it's the most recent slap in the face, after hi

Sometimes things are not always what they seem, especially in the small suburban town where the Carpenter family lives. Single suburban mother Susan Carpenter ( Naomi Watts ) works as a waitress at a diner, alongside feisty family friend Sheila ( Sarah Silverman ). Her younger son Peter ( Jacob Tremblay ) is a playful 8-year-old. Taking care of everyone and everything in his own unique way is Susan’s older son Henry ( Jaeden Lieberher ), age 11. Protector to his adoring younger brother and tireless supporter of his often self-doubting mother – and, through investments, of the family as a whole – Henry blazes through the days like a comet. Susan discovers that the family next door, which includes Henry’s kind classmate Christina ( Maddie Ziegler ), has a dangerous secret – and that Henry has devised a surprising plan to help. As his brainstormed rescue plan for Christina takes shape in thrilling ways, Susan finds herself at the center of it. THE BOOK OF HENRY TRAILER- Please Leave

THR is reporting  Rogen and Goldberg will write, direct and produce a movie adaptation, with the ' Walking Dead ' creator also producing. Invincible is Kirkman’s second-longest running title after The Walking Dead and follows Mark Grayson, a normal high school student with just one difference between him and his peers — his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet, and he, too, will inherit his own set of superpowers. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are teaming up with Robert Kirkman to bring the Walking Dead creator’s comic book Invincible to the big screen for Universal. Rogen and Goldberg will write, direct and produce the adaptation of the comic, which has been continually published since 2003. Kirkman will also produce, via his shingle Skybound Entertainment and his Skybound cohorts David Alpert, Bryan Furst and Sean Furst. The project falls under Skybound’s first-look deal with Universal. James Weaver, a principal with Rogen and Goldberg at their bann

“ Man Down ,” a war thriller with Shia LaBeouf , grossed just £7 ($8.70) when it premiered in a single U.K. theater over the weekend, according to ComScore. That’s the equivalent of selling a single ticket, given that the U.K. Cinema Association puts the average movie admission cost in the country at £7.21. “Poor Shia,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at ComScore. “That opening could be in the Guinness World Records or something.” The film played in one location, Reel Cinema in Burnley. It was simultaneously released digitally on demand, making the theatrical release something of an afterthought. It launches on DVD and Blu-ray next month, according to the Guardian. After scoring in big studio blockbusters such as “Transformers” and “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” LaBeouf has focused on more indie projects with mixed success. He earned strong reviews for last year’s “American Honey,” but other work, such as “The Company You Keep” and “Charl

Freeform, Marvel Television and ABC Signature today announced their second project together, “ Marvel’s New Warriors ,” a new comedic live-action adaptation of the popular Marvel comic featuring young adult heroes. This marks Marvel’s first foray into comedy for a television series. The network has ordered ten 30-minute episodes slated to debut 2018. “ Marvel’s New Warriors ” is about six young people with powers living and working together.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan has more recently been known for swaggering, slaughtering and, er, scarf-wearing? as the violent leader Negan on The Walking Dead . But he'll be leaving the barbed wire baseball bat at home when he joins Dwayne Johnson in Rampage . While New Line has yet to release an official synopsis, the movie's video game origins point to what we can expect: Johnson's animal-loving hero must help save cities from rampaging giant creatures (a lizard, a gorilla and wolf) that have been cooked up in a less-than ethical laboratory. Morgan has nabbed a supporting role as Agent Russell, who works for covert government outfit OGA and apparently has some attitude. Will he be a help or a hindrance? That's for the film to decide. He joins a cast that already includes Naomie Harris, Malin Akerman, Joe Manganiello, Jake Lacy, Marley Shelton, PJ Byrne, Jack Quaid and Matt Gerald . Please Leave A Comment- Source- Empire

An uplifting and inspirational look at life through the eyes of man’s best friend warms hearts this spring when A Dog’s Purpose arrives on Digital HD on April 18, 2017 and on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, DVD and On Demand on May 2, 2017, from Amblin Entertainment and Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.

Based on the beloved bestselling novel by W. Bruce Cameron, A Dog’s Purpose, from director Lasse Hallström (The Cider House Rules, Dear John, The 100-Foot Journey), shares the soulful and surprising story of one devoted dog (voiced by Josh Gad – Frozen, Angry Birds) who finds the meaning of his own existence through the lives of the humans he teaches to laugh and love. A narrative with “genuine heart, humor and a real message of love” (Michael Heaton, The Plain Dealer), the

The year is 1940, London. With the nation bowed down by war, the British ministry turns to propaganda films to boost morale at home. Realizing their films could use “a woman’s touch,” the ministry hires Catrin Cole ( Gemma Arterton ) as a scriptwriter in charge of writing the female dialogue. Although her artist husband looks down on her job, Catrin’s natural flair quickly gets her noticed by cynical, witty lead scriptwriter Buckley ( Sam Claflin ). Catrin and Buckley set out to make an epic feature film based on the Dunkirk rescue starring the gloriously vain, former matinee idol Ambrose Hilliard ( Bill Nighy ). As bombs are dropping all around them, Catrin, Buckley and their colorful cast and crew work furiously to make a film that will warm the hearts of the nation. Please Leave A Comment-

The Avatar sequel is set to begin in the fall, according to Sigourney Weaver . “We’re starting!” the actress excitedly told The Hollywood Reporter at a screening of The Assignment , held Monday night at New York City’s Whitby Hotel. “We’re starting training, and we’re starting — hmm, I probably can’t say anything. We will be actually shooting it by the fall.” James Cameron has previously noted that the scripts of all four Avatar films are completed, and stars Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana are also set to return alongside Weaver. But fans were disappointed to hear that the second film would not be ready for a 2018 release date. Though the sequel to the 2009 sci-fi blockbuster, which grossed $2.7 billion at the global box office, had not officially been dated, it was expected for Christmas 2018. Yet Weaver reassures that audiences’ patience will be rewarded in time. “I’m telling you, these scripts are so amazing, I’m not worried about [disappointing fans] at all,” she to

The anonymously named " Midland Circle Security Elevator B " is, of course, a nod to the dodgy corporation we first met in Daredevil's second season, and the people on the footage are Matt Murdock ( Charlie Cox ), Jessica Jones ( Krysten Ritter ), Luke Cage ( Mike Colter ) and Danny "Iron Fist" Rand ( Finn Jones ), all looking like they've just been in a brawl. There are some interesting touches here – why is Danny seemingly more exhausted than the others, for example, and we guess Matt didn't have his costume along with him – and little clues leading to viral info. The address in the top left corner leads to a site for the New York Bulletin (where Deborah Ann Woll's Karen Page works), itself a treasure trove of other sites based around the shared superhero universe. Oh, and when Jessica smashes the camera, the footage halts at 8:18:20:17, or to translate from American dating protocols, 18 August 2017, suggesting we have a release date for the
