Directed by John Carroll Lynch; starring Harry Dean Stanton, David Lynch and Ron Livingston, Lucky is a drama about the spiritual journey of a ninety-year-old atheist.
The subject matter and the characters in this trailer are simply too intriguing to ignore.

It is time for the movie adaptation of the story of McDonald’s, a.k.a, ‘the golden arches’, a.k.a, ‘Macca’s’, a.k.a, ‘Macci D’s’ a.k.a, fill in the gap.
I’ll be watching especially for all the business stuff, for there is an entrepreneurial spirit deep within yours truly.

Directed by Karyn Kusama; Michiel Huisman and Logan Marshall-Green are the stars of The Invitation, a tense new thriller/horror movie set at a dinner party where things aren’t quite what they seem.
Teaser Trailer
Trailer 1
In addition to the unsettling tensions, it looks like The Invitation will be one of those stories that reminds us all to always trust our instincts and get the hell out if the situation doesn’t feel right. Though, I guess if everyone did that, where would scary movies be – dare we ponder?
John Carroll Lynch, Emayatzy Corinealdi and Mike Doyle also star.
Release Date(s): March 25th, 2016 (US)…

Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone and Julianne Moore are the stars of drama/romance/comedy Crazy Stupid Love. A story about a man whose world is altered after what should have been a romantic dinner date with his wife becomes something else entirely.
Directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, I tuned in because of Carell and Moore’s reputations; luckily, I found myself pleasantly surprised.
A big highlight for me is the scene with the valedictorian speech. That, and Gosling’s character, Jacob’s fashion sense.
I say watch Crazy Stupid Love for a reminder that humour is tragedy plus time. You’ll go through some emotions, but you will certainly laugh as well.
Along with The Notebook (2004), Crazy, Stupid, Love is without a doubt responsible for a good number of Ryan Gosling crushes.

An unexpected friendship, post 9/11 and between a young female soldier (Kristen Stewart) and a Guantanamo Bay detainee (Peyman Moaardi) is the premise of director Peter Sattler’s Camp X-Ray.
Both leads, Stewart and Moaardi deliver good performances. But there were definitely times when I had to check the time because things just weren’t moving fast enough.
Perhaps the pace was deliberately slow to give the viewer a better idea of what life at Guantanamo Bay was actually like. Either way, I’m glad I made it to the end because the last thirty minutes is when the most engaging events take place.
All my questions about how this most unlikely of friendships came to be are fully answered in a way I found satisfying and well-executed.
I say, watch Camp X-Ray if you have similar curiosities. You’ll certainly get more than a little glimpse of what life can be like as a female soldier in the U.S. Army, among other things,
