Produced by Guillermo del Toro and directed by Chris Miller, the magical story of Puss in Boots continues with the feline crusader, played by Antonio Banderas, trying to restore his nine lives after using up eight.
According to the DreamWorks fandom page, the original title was Puss in Boots: Nine Lives and Forty Thieves, and it’s now Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. The change most likely occurred because the story focuses on Puss getting his last wish to regain the eight lives he spent swashbuckling through fairytale land.
Directed by Patrick Hughes, The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard follows the world’s most lethal odd couple — bodyguard Michael Bryce, played by Ryan Reynolds, and hitman Darius Kincaid, played by Samuel L. Jackson. They return for another life-threatening mission. Still unlicensed and under scrutiny, Darius’s even more volatile wife, the infamous international con artist Sonia Kincaid, played by Salma Hayek, forces Bryce into action.
He’s driven over the edge by his two most dangerous protectees. The trio gets in over their heads in a global plot and soon finds that they all stand between Europe and a vengeful and powerful madman, played by Antonio Banderas. Joining in the fun and deadly mayhem is Morgan Freeman as a mystery man.
The cast is huge and includes Richard E. Grant, rank Grillo, Caroline Goodall, Rebecca Front, Gabriella Wright, Alice McMillan, Kristofer Kamiyasu, Tom Hopper and Blake Ritson.
Co-written and directed by Josh Boone, The New Mutants follow five young mutants who are just discovering their abilities. Yet, held in a secret facility against their will. They do everything in their power fight to escape their past sins and save themselves.
Knate Lee co-wrote the screenplay with Boone. Boone is best known for directing The Fault in Our Stars. The cast includes Anya Taylor-Joy, Maisie Williams, Antonio Banderas, and Charlie Heaton.
The Laundromat follows Ellen Martin, played by Meryl Streep, as her idyllic vacation necessitates an unbelievable twist when she investigates a fake insurance policy, only to find herself down a rabbit hole of questionable dealings linked to a Panama City law firm, and its vested interest in helping the world’s wealthiest citizens amass even larger fortunes.
The charming, and very well-dressed, founding partners Jürgen Mossack, played by Gary Oldman, and Ramón Fonseca, played by Antonio Banderas, are experts in the seductive ways of shell companies and offshore accounts help the rich and powerful prosper.
They are about to show us that Ellen’s expose only hints at the tax evasion, bribery, and other illicit absurdities that the super-wealthy indulge in to support the world’s corrupt financial system.
The movie clip shows the theme of the movie, and it is a comedy with a sense of hilarity in the two men talking to the camera while Streep talks about corruption.
The next movie clip explains Martin’s goal and purpose for exposing these to con artists.
Written and directed by Stephen Gaghan, based on the story by Thomas Shepherd, Dolittle excites one of literature’s most enduring characters and stories in an expressive remake of the classic tale of the man who talks to animals, Dr. John Dolittle, played by Robert Downey Jr.
The movie is available on Prime and wherever DVDs and Blu-rays are sold.
After losing his wife seven years earlier, Dolittle becomes eccentric but a famed doctor and veterinarian of Queen Victoria’s England. He hermits himself away behind the high walls of Dolittle Manor with only his menagerie of exotic animals for company.
But when the young queen, played by Jessie Buckley, falls gravely ill, a reluctant Dolittle set sails on a grand adventure to a mythical island in search of a cure, recovering his wit and courage as he crosses old adversaries and discovers fascinating creatures.
The doctor is accompanied on his journey by a young, self-appointed apprentice, played by Harry Collett. Joining the doctor are a loud circle of animal friends, including an anxious gorilla, voiced by Rami Malek, an enthusiastic but bird-brained duck, spoken by Octavia Spencer, a bickering duo of a cynical ostrich, voiced by Kumail Nanjiani, and an upbeat polar bear, voiced by John Cena, and a headstrong parrot, voiced by Emma Thompson, who serves as Dolittle’s most esteemed advisor and confidante.
The movie also stars Antonio Banderas, Michael Sheen, Jim Broadbent. It features additional voice performances from Marion Cotillard, Frances de la Tour, Carmen Ejogo, Ralph Fiennes, Selena Gomez, Tom Holland, and Craig Robinson.
The next trailer offers more information about the movie, and it seems more entertaining.

Cruz looks good in this clip. I suspect the scene is a flashback when the brothers are with their mother.
