Win ROE Tickets For THE GUEST   in San Francisco. From the director of YOU’RE NEXT and featuring a standout, badass performance from Dan Stevens (“Downton Abbey”), comes THE GUEST : a tense, action-packed and unpredictable film like everything and nothing you've ever seen before. Empire Magazine called it "a demented action-horror hybrid of sci-fi conspiracy thriller and gore-fest", and Vanity Fair said, “ THE GUEST is big, it’s bold, it’s badass, full of flavor Hollywood wishes it could pour over its vanilla blockbusters.” A soldier ( Dan Stevens ) introduces himself to the Peterson family, claiming to be a friend of their son who died in action. After the young man is welcomed into their home, a series of accidental deaths seem to be connected to his presence.

Comedians looking to stretch themselves as actors are a common phenomenon, but it doesn’t always work out well. Chris Rock is one who has managed some success both in front of and behind the camera, and he’s tackling the subject directly in his new comedy drama, Top Five . The first trailer for the film has landed online. Rock, who writes and directs, also plays Andre Allen, a man once described as among the funniest in America, who swapped stand up for wacky box office hits. Now, though, he’s looking to branch out, and isn’t feeling particularly funny. With an impending wedding to a reality TV starlet ( Gabrielle Union ), his agent ( Kevin Hart ) breathing down his neck and a reporter ( Rosario Dawson ) writing a profile on him and probing his life, he’s trying to figure things out. The main man has assembled a funny cast that also includes Romany Malco, Tracy Morgan, J.B. Smoove, Cedric The Entertainer, Jerry Seinfeld, Sherri Shepherd, Whoopi Goldberg, Ben Vereen, Hayley M

Included as part of Warner Bros.’ big release date announcement for its DC Comics titles , the adaptation of Suicide Squad is already gathering steam, which is handy since it’s currently set as the first film to launch after 2016’s Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice . And apparently the studio is pursuing Ryan Gosling, Tom Hardy, Will Smith and Margot Robbie to star. It is fairly early days for any discussions, though Deadline goes on to mention that they’re all fairly well disposed to signing on, which might seem surprising, but Smith is no stranger to big action fare and Hardy will do blockbuster work if he’s interested in a part. As for Robbie , she’s clearly a Warners favourite after The Wolf Of Wall Street and Focus , in which she appears with Smith. Gosling , meanwhile, is said to be taking meetings on Houdini and Doctor Strange as well as Suicide Squad according to The Hollywood Reporter , so might finally find himself in the blockbuster business. David Ayer is dir

St. Vincent Review By: Brandon Wolfe The film career of Bill Murray has become neatly bifurcated over the last couple of decades. Murray started out as the droll wiseacre in comedy classics like ‘ Caddyshack ,’ ‘ Stripes ’ and ‘ Ghostbusters ,’ a mode he largely remained in until being reinvented as a seriocomic indie darling by Wes Anderson in ‘Rushmore,’ the mode in which he’s operated ever since. Turning in a parade of performances as sad sacks experiencing midlife crises, the contemporary Murray has little in common with the unflappable sly dog we knew and loved in the ‘80s and early ‘90s, and though Murray’s dramatic work has birthed many gems (chief among them, his work with Anderson and his role in Jim Jarmusch’s ‘Broken Flowers’), many fans have longed for the Murray of old to reemerge. In the early going, ‘St. Vincent’ seems like it might meet the two Murrays in the middle, acting as a hybrid of the wily old Murray from comedies of yore and the new, melancholy Mur

Fury is a brutal, even barbaric, take on the last months of WWII. To those of you who have served or continue to do so, I thank you. The task of defending our country is not an easy one, especially when forced to make tough choices that result in the loss of lives when war is unleashed. The David Ayer WWII tank epic Fury sure doesn't pull punches about those choices, delivering the most brutal affair since S aving Private Ryan . In the final months of WWII, the effort to defeat the Germans has been met not with surrender but with desperation. Caught in the madness of war, tank commander Don "Wardaddy" Collier (Brad Pitt) leads a motley crew of psychopaths: the tank driver Gordo (Michael Pena), the vicious backwater "Coon-Ass" (Jon Bernthal), and "Bible" (Shia LaBeouf), an evangelical Christian with the gift of biblical gab. Suffering the loss of one of their own, Wardaddy is forced to take on fresh recruit Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman)

Even with stunning animation, the soulless The Book of Life fails to inspire. The animated film The Book of Life suggests that every problem - no matter if it involves the living representations of Life and Death themselves - can be solved with song and a deep love for lost ones. And while I admire such values, it's clear that this soulless and lifeless doesn't get the mix quite right. Based on the Mexican fable of Day of the Dead, Life tells the story of the hero Joaquin (Channing Tatum), the sensitive singer Manolo (Diego Luna) and their shared love Maria (Zoe Saldana). The three youngsters are inseparable, until Maria's father sends her to a convent. When they reunite years later, Manolo is training to take over the family business of bull riding, Joaquin is a successful warrior for the Mexican army, and Maria is a refined but independent woman. As bandits bring war to their town, our threesome must battle death himself (Ron Pelrman) and Manolo must make
