Matthew Vaughn directed Argylle follows Elly Conway, played by Bryce Dallas Howard, who is writing a yet-to-be-released novel about a spy, Argylle.
The story resembles a true espionage situation, which spins Conway into deception, intrigue and danger with the insistence of Sam Rockwell’s character.
Scripted for the screen by Jason Fuchs, Conway’s story follows Argylle, played by Henry Cavill, to exotic locations around the world.
Argylle goes on a treasure hunt, but his secret and troubled past may jeopardize the espionage mission.
The cast includes Bryan Cranston, Samuel L. Jackson, John Cena, Dua Lipa, Catherine O’Hara, and Sofia Boutella.
Directed by Neil Burger, The Upside is a “heartfelt comedy” about a convict, played by Kevin Hart, is recently paroled. He begins a friendship with a paralyzed billionaire, played by Bryan Cranston. Clearly, the friendship is unusual and unlikely.
Still, the relationship builds and the two men form a union and help each other. The film also stars Nicole Kidman, Aja Naomi King, and Julianna Margulies.
Burger credits include The Illusionist, Divergent, and Limitless.
Inspired by a true story, The Upside is written by Jon Hartmere, based on the hit 2011 French film The Intouchables. All I can imagine is Hart is a not so serious man playing a serious role.
With his recent roles in Night School and The Secret Life of Pets 2, Hart is taking a chance at drama. That is a good thing because he is talented. We just need to see him stretch a bit with Cranston and Kidman.
Here are three movies clips that show the banter between Hart’s character and Cranston’s character. The whole time I am watching these trailers and movie clips I am thinking how tough it must have been for this man to live like this. It is based on a true story. It’s tough to watch. In the “Identity Theft” movie clip, Aretha Franklin, the queen of soul, is mentioned in their banter. You click on her name to find out why she is so special and talented as a singer.
Directed by Richard Linklater, Last Flag Flying follows three Vietnam vets, after thirty years after serving together in the Vietnam War, Larry “Doc” Shepherd, Sal Nealon and the Rev. Richard Mueller.
The slow-paced trailer indicates the undercurrents of them reuniting for a different type of mission. They will bury Doc’s son, a young Marine killed in Iraq. Forgoing burial at Arlington National Cemetery, Doc and his old buddies take the casket on a bittersweet trip up the coast to New Hampshire. Along the way, the three men find themselves reminiscing and coming to terms with the shared memories of a war that continues to shape their lives.
Directed by John Hamburg, Why Him? happens over the holidays. The story follows Ned, played by Bryan Cranston, an overprotective but loving dad, and his family visit his daughter at Stanford.
He comes to terms with his biggest nightmare. He meets his daughter’s well-meaning but socially awkward Silicon Valley billionaire boyfriend, Laird, played by James Franco. A rivalry develops, and Ned’s panic level goes through the roof when he finds himself lost in this glamorous high-tech world and learns that Laird is about to pop the question.
Here is the official trailer.

James Franco is really having a lot of fun with this role.
