The Buzz:
This just in: After a successful first weekend overseas -- Mowgli and co. brought in just under $30 million -- Disney has greenlighted a sequel with Jon Favreau in place to develop and direct.
Bring on the bare necessities! The Jungle Book has always been one of my favorite childhood films, and I can't wait to see Jon Favreau's interpretation of the Disney classic come to life on the big screen. From all of the trailers I've seen so far, this film looks great! - Akimi
Barbershop: The Next Cut (2016)- Comedy
As their surrounding community has taken a turn for the worse, the crew at Calvin's Barbershop come together to bring some much needed change to their neighborhood.
Director:Malcolm D. Lee |
|
Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Calvin made a wise decision some time ago to bring some female staff members into the barbershop, which could help lure a wider than expected crowd for this threequel, which arrives 12 years after the last chapter. We're not knocking the appeal of these movies -- it's more about how we've seen movies such as Zoolander 2 and My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 perform lately. Out of all of these long delayed sequels, we think The Next Cut might perform the best. Also, it was great timing on the part of New Line/Warner Bros. to schedule the release soon after N.W.A.s induction on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Criminal (2016)- Action | Crime | Drama | Mystery | Sci-Fi | Thriller
In a last-ditch effort to stop a diabolical plot, a dead CIA operative's memories, secrets, and skills are implanted into a death-row inmate in hopes the he will complete the operative's mission.
Director:Ariel Vromen |
|
Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Lionsgate specializes in direct-to-VOD thrillers, but when you make one starring Deadpool and Wonder Woman in the cast, you sorta have to release it in theaters, right? The gist here is that CIA agent Reynolds is a goner, but his consciousness was implanted into criminal Kevin Costner in order to bring down a terrorist plot. When he's not killing or close to being killed, Costner gets to be Gal Gadot's lover by proxy. The release comes at a tough time for the studio, which has been hammered by industry-watchers for the collapse of the Divergent franchise and other box-office disappointments.
Green Room (2015)- Crime | Horror | Thriller
After witnessing a murder, a punk rock band is forced into a vicious fight for survival against a group of maniacal skinheads.
Director:Jeremy Saulnier |
|
Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Jeremy Saulnier's Blue Ruin truly was a revelation, the kind of movie that will continue to accrue devotees over time. Saulnier was offered Hollywood work after Blue Ruin proved to be more than a festival darling. So, I love him even more for choosing to direct another one of his scripts as his next project. Also, I've been hoping for a director to cast Anton Yelchin in something that coaxes out more of the young actor's talent. Casting Patrick Stewart as a neo-Nazi is a guaranteed way to grab headlines, but I sense that just as much attention is being paid to Saulnier as one of the most promising writer/directors around. - Arno
Fan (2016)- Drama | Thriller
Gaurav, a huge fan of movie star Aryan Khanna, heads to Mumbai in order to wish his God a happy birthday. When things don't go according to plan, Gaurav's obsession with Aryan crosses the line.
Director:Maneesh Sharma |
|
Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Shuddh Desi Romance director Maneesh Sharma will see his worldwide profile rise with this innovative movie, which cast Shah Rukh Khan in a dual role and became the first Bollywood production to shoot in a different country (Croatia, in this case).
Sing Street (2016) - [Limited]- Drama | Musical
A boy growing up in Dublin during the 1980s escapes his strained family life by starting a band and moving to London.
Director:John Carney |
|
Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: A movie about a band of young talented Irishmen coming together to make some tuneful music? No, it's not The Commitments but looks to be just as charming. It's Once director John Carney's latest offering, which follows the story of a young band of pop-singing Dubliners. If the trailer is any indication, expect some winsome characters and earworms aplenty. - Bret
Vierge sous serment (2015) - [Limited]- Drama
Years after declaring her eternal virginity and opting to live life as a man in the mountains of Albania, Hana looks to return to living as a woman as she settles into a new existence in modern-day Milan.

|
Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Laura Bispuri raked in serious awards and accolades on the festival circuit for her feature debut as director and co-writer of this adaptation of Elvira Dones's 2006 documentary and 2007 novel. Star Alba Rohrwacher makes an appearance in Tale of Tales, which is also being released this week.
Rio, Eu Te Amo (2014) - [Limited]- Comedy | Drama | Fantasy | Romance

Ultime tango (2015) - [Limited]- Documentary | Musical
The life and love story of Argentina's famous tango dancers Maria Nieves Rego and Juan Carlos Copes, who met as teenagers and danced together for nearly fifty years until a painful separation tore them apart.

|
Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: The cool-sounding aspect of this documentary finds María Nieves Rego and Juan Carlos Copes telling their story to a group of young dancers and choreographers, who in turn interpret their entwined history via performance.
Colonia (2015) - [Limited]- Drama | History | Romance | Thriller
A young woman's desperate search for her abducted boyfriend that draws her into the infamous Colonia Dignidad, a sect nobody ever escaped from.
Director:Florian Gallenberger |
|
Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: The Colonia Dignidad was already about a decade old when the Chilean military coup of 1973 occurred, and hopefully the best thing this movie, which is based on actual events, will do is bring more attention to the utopian experiment which until recently functioned completely outside of Chilean law.
