That remarkable staying power …
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. The Walk The Walk is the …
We’ve still got quite a few big movies to look forward to for the rest of 2015. If you caught James’ article last week predicting the rest of the 2015 blockbusters, there are some seriously big movies coming soon.
