Will this be the Shyamalan of The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable and Signs?

The film premiered to rave reviews at the Toronto International Film Festival, and this final trailer gives us one more reason to look forward to the film’s release.
The First Logan Trailer Claws at Your Heart
There has been perhaps no finer job of casting for any superhero film that Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. While you could argue that Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen are perfect as Professor X and Magneto, respectively (they are), and that Jack Nicholson (and then Heath Ledger) owned the Joker (they did), the sunny, super talented Australian Jackman somehow feels like he really is the tormented Canadian mutant. And now, after 16 years of embodying Logan/Wolverine,

Alec Baldwin is a Baby, and a Boss, in The Boss Baby
We'll take Alec Baldwin where we can get him. We got so used to having him on the small screen during his incredible run on 30 Rock that we didn't realize how good of a thing we had until the show was over and Baldwin was gone. Now he's back, currently crushing it playing Donald J. Trump on SNL, and, on the book screen, he's playing another kind of tyrant, a baby one,

John Wick: Chapter 2 Teaser Arrives Before NY Comic-Con
New York Comic-Con arrives this weekend, the only time that the city that never sleeps acts as a little brother to San Diego, whose Comic-Con is larger and more influential by every conceivable metric.

For example, Lionsgate is unveiling a sneak peek of John Wick: Chapter 2, the sequel to the 2014 action thriller starring Keanu Reeves that caught audiences off guard.
Watch a new Keeping up With the Joneses Clip
Super spies, meet super schmoes. Okay, maybe that's not entirely fair to the Gaffneys, an ordinary suburban couple played by Zach Galifianakis and Isla Fisher, but it's not too far off. In director Greg Mottola's comedy caper, the Gaffney's find that their new neighbors, the Joneses, played by Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot, are pretty tough competition. Especially when they find out these offensively attractive people are actually covert operatives.
Of course this means the Gaffneys need to be plunged into the dangerous (but sexy!) world of the Joneses.
