Here is the official trailer for War Dogs ,  directed by Todd Phillips and starring Jonah Hill, Miles Teller, Ana de Armas and Bradley Cooper . Based on a true story, “ War Dogs ” follows two friends in their early 20s ( Hill and Teller ) living in Miami during the first Iraq War who exploit a little-known government initiative that allows small businesses to bid on U.S. Military contracts. Starting small, they begin raking in big money and are living the high life. But the pair gets in over their heads when they land a 300 million dollar deal to arm the Afghan Military—a deal that puts them in business with some very shady people, not the least of which turns out to be the U.S. Government.

Netflix scores high marks for their sophomore superhero series. Review by Matt Cummings Ask anyone these days if we're suffering from too much superhero stuff (television, movies, t-shirts, images on soup), and you're likely to get a wide variety of answers. The truth is, Hollywood is still trying to figure this thing out itself, falling loudly in some cases (see Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ). Even Netlfix has failed (see the boring Jessica Jones ). But if there's one thing being done right, it's Daredevil, as season 2's entry has proven with its terrific storytelling, stellar performances, and visceral action. Set a few months after the events of last season, Lawyer Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and his partner Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) have been growing their law firm with an eclectic mix of clients. But that's all about to change when a shadowy figure begins to murder rival gangs, leaving destruction in his wake. Determined to protect Hel...

RAMA is Back A weak sequel From comedic standpoint, MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING 2 is not as strong and definitely as effective as the first film which gave Nia Vardalos her Oscar nomination for best original screenplay category. But this sequel does have enough family antics and lovey-dovey romance to keep the fans from wondering why they’re not enjoying this as much as they had hoped. It’s been 14 years since the first film and not much has changed in the Portokalos family except for the fact that Toula ( Nia Vardalos ) and Ian ( John Corbett ) now have a teenage daughter named Paris ( Elena Kampouris ) who’s considering going to a college located far far away from her Greek family, and I don’t blame her, I too came from a culture that’s family-oriented, not that there’s anything wrong with that, but it can get overwhelming for a young person who feels that the world is much bigger than just the neighborhood she grew up in. Meanwhile, Toula’s parents find out that their marriage...

With Emma Stone and Steve Carell already at the top of the cast, tennis drama Battle Of The Sexes is now filling in its key supporting players. Andrea Riseborough and Elisabeth Shue signed up recently, and the latest addition is Sarah Silverman. The film, which boasts a script by Simon Beaufoy, will chronicle the rivalry between former tennis pro Bobby Riggs ( Carell ) and his 29-year-old opponent Billie Jean King ( Stone ), who hit the court for a legendary match in 1973 that (it was claimed) would establish if a female pro could ever beat a male in the sport. The event drew a huge audience of more than 50 million Americans, eager to see who would triumph. Silverman will play Gladys Heldman, the founder of the magazine World Tennis, and a staunch supporter of King and other female players in the early 1970s. Stone and Carell previously shared the screen in Crazy, Stupid Love, and Battle Of The Sexes also represents another reunion: Little Miss Sunshine’s Jonathan Dayton a...

EW scored the first image from the upcoming Wonder Woman movie. Themyscira is a hidden island where Amazon women of Greek myth have thrived for centuries, living in harmony and free to self-govern away from the gaze of man. It’s also, of course, the birthplace of Wonder Woman, who after years of false starts, is finally a movie star. With a much heralded introduction in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice , Wonder Woman ( Gal Gadot ) is now a cornerstone in Warner Bros.’ DC Comics multiverse, with a crucial role in the first Justice League movie (out November 2017), and the center of her own long-awaited film, which will hit screens next June.

She will need some help getting there, though. Preparing her for a world of men are three regal women: Diana’s mother, Queen Hippolyta (Gladiator’s Connie Nielsen )...

It may have happened all the way back in the 1990s (kids, ask your parents), but the saga of competitive ice skaters Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan still stands as one of the most memorable sporting scandals in modern history. Now Margot Robbie wants to bring Harding's side of the story to the screen in I, Tonya . Harding was originally seen as a plucky underdog who rose from a rough, poverty-stricken childhood in Portland to become one of the top figure skaters in the United states. She became the first woman to complete the triple axel jump in big competitions and emerged victorious at the 1991 US Figure Skating Championships, going on to place second at the World Championships. Then came the run up to the 1994 Olympics, where Harding conspired with her then-husband Jeff Gillooly to attack rival Nancy Kerrigan during qualifying rounds at the US Figure Skating Championships in Detroit, part of the selection process for the American Olympic team. Gillooly and co-conspira...

MADAMA BUTTERFLY (Puccini) The title character of Madama Butterfly—a young Japanese geisha who clings to the belief that her arrangement with a visiting American naval officer is a loving and permanent marriage—is one of the defining roles in opera. The story triggers ideas about cultural and sexual imperialism for people far removed from the opera house, and film, Broadway, and popular culture in general have riffed endlessly on it. The lyric beauty of Puccini’s score, especially the music for the thoroughly believable lead role, has made Butterfly timeless. See how to win tickets after the Jump...

After a rough start, BVSDOJ serves up a powerful emotional punch. Review by Matt Cummings For a film that has gained so much attention since its year-long delay, expectations for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice couldn't be greater and perhaps more unrealistic. That's perhaps Warner Bros' fault for concocting a tale near the end - rather than at the beginning - of a universe with so much promise. And while the emotional punch of Act 3 is profound, some of the build up is clunky and its mythology doesn't have time to properly develop. It's been nearly two years since Superman (Henry Cavill) and General Zod (Michael Shannon) destroyed much of Metropolis, leaving many to ponder their role in a world where gods do exist. To some like Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) and even Batman (Ben Affleck), such forces represent a true evil that must be wiped out. But others aren't so sure, including a mysterious woman (Gal Gadot) and the reporter Lois Lane (Am...

The foodie doc City of Gold resonates with the flair of a great underground LA restaurant. Review by Matt Cummings No matter where you live - outskirts of town, Downtown Wherever, or in the barrio - there are bound to be special places where you eat. For LA food critic Jonathan Gold, it's much more than reporting on the quality of the meal but plugging into the culture of his hometown. This is where the IFC documentary City of Gold finds itself, existing as far more than food criticism or consumption, but on popular criticism itself. Pulitzer Prize winner and LA Weekly critic Jonathan Gold is as much the subject here as the food he remarks on, gaining adoration from both fans and restaurant owners for his fairness and amiable personality. He samples the most diverse lineup of food you've ever seen (or eaten), most of which is inaccessible to a majority of people living in our country. Beginning as a copy reader for the paper, Gold is the perfect encapsulatio...
