The Magnificent Seven

Basically, this is a remake of a re-imagining. First there was Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 classic Seven Samurai, then there was John Sturges re-imagining in 1960 and now there is Antoine Fuqua’s remake of that western.

Sausage Party

From the stoned minds of Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and Jonah Hill comes Sausage Party, an incredibly foul-mouthed, R-rated take on a Pixar movie.

 

A Hologram For The King

Based on the 2012 novel by Dave Eggers, A Hologram For The King is about Alan Clay, an American businessman played by Tom Hanks, who is sent to Saudi Arabia to close what he hopes will be the deal of a lifetime. While he waits for an appointment that keeps getting postponed, he befriends a local cab driver (Alexander Black), worries about a lump the size of a golf ball on his back and flirts with a Danish contractor (Sidse Babett Knudsen) before falling for a local doctor (Sarita Choudhury).

 

Morgan

Following an ‘incident’ at an isolated lab, a risk management consultant (played by Kate Mara) working for a shady corporation is being sent in to evaluate the situation. The incident involves a humanoid being called Morgan (Anya Taylor-Joy), stabbing one of her creators in the eye. All this is explained in the first couple of minutes through surveillance footage and a handy, information-packed voice-over.

Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children

Based on the first book of Ransom Riggs’ young adult novel, Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children is director Tim Burton’s latest Gothic-tinged movie. This one follows Jake Portman (an uninspired, wide-eyed Asa Butterfield), a kid living in Southern Florida who grew up with his grandfather’s fantastic tales about living in a home on a Welsh island during WWII with Miss Peregrine (Eva Green) and some… well, peculiar children.
