This week’s new releases are between a slacker-turned-super-agent, dizzyingly death defying stunts in the best use of IMAX to date, a brutally good movie about the war on drugs between the US and Mexico, a disappointing retelling/prequel of a classic movie, and four movies on limited release, all wildly different but all highly praised.

Well here’s some fANTastic news! Last night Marvel officially updated their current Phase 3 plans to now include an Ant-Man sequel that will be titled Ant-Man and the Wasp! While Ant-Man may have had a production schedule rockier than Ben Grimm’s butt, I really enjoyed what director Peyton Reed and star/co-writer Paul Rudd eventually delivered. I certainly wasn’t alone in my praise …

I haven’t heard anything about this movie before today but based on this action packed trailer it looks like one that I will not be missing. Directed by John Hillcoat (Lawless), the movie boasts an impressive line up …
It’s been far too long since Sherlock Holmes has been on our TV screens. No, that impostor over on Elementary doesn’t count (even if he does a fine job). We need the real Sherlock Holmes. And by real Sherlock Holmes, I mean Benedict Cumberbatch’s cantankerous contemporary incarnation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famed 19th century literary detective. Yes, that guy! The …
