The BFG (2016) Full Movie

Watch the Captain America: Civil War trailer right here. The Angry Birds Movie.

Release Date: May 2. Even though a movie based on the Rovio mobile game that feature birds being slingshotted into structures in order to smash the green pigs who stole their eggs doesn’t sound like it has the makings of a decent movie, the trailers have done a decent job of convincing us otherwise. The Angry Birds Movie actually looks like a solid comedy, and it’s hard to go wrong with a voice cast that includes talent like Jason Sudeikis, Danny Mc. Bride, Josh Gad, Maya Rudolph, Bill Hader, Peter Dinklage, Keegan- Michael Key, Kate Mc. Kinnon, Tony Hale, Ike Barinholtz, Hannibal Buress and many more.

Release Date: May 2. Comedy sequels are hard to pull off without losing the special something that made the first film worth watching. However, if the trailers for Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising are any indicator, we just might have a worthy follow- up in store.

Sure, the concept is essentially a rehash of the first movie with a sorority instead of a fraternity, but with Chloe Grace Moretz stretching her comedic chops as an adult actress now, we’re excited to see how she holds her own against the likes of Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne and Zac Efron. Watch the Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising trailer right here. The Nice Guys. Release Date: May 2. If there’s one thing Shane Black knows how to do better than anything else, it’s write dark comedies featuring odd pairs. From Lethal Weapon to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, the screenwriter and director has delivered some great duos who get caught up in some seriously dangerous situations.

The Nice Guys looks like Black will be back doing what he does best, and the pairing of Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling feels surprisingly perfect. Both have impeccable comedic timing, and the ’7. This one could be the sleeper hit of the summer. Watch The Nice Guys trailer right here. X- Men: Apocalypse. Release Date: May 2. The X- Men franchise continues on the modified timeline that was altered in X- Men: Days of Future Past.

This time we get to meet the younger versions of familiar X- Men like Cyclops, Jean Grey and Nightcrawler while meeting new mutants like Psylocke. But the real draw of this one is seeing the iconic Marvel Comics villain Apocalypse on the big screen for the first time. Even though the early trailers left me concerned about the film’s quality, the most recent trailer seems to be on the right track.

It’ll be tough to top just how good Days of Future Past was, but it should be exciting to see how this takes the franchise in a new direction. Watch the X- Men: Apocalypse trailer right here. Pages: 1 2. 34. Next page. Cool Posts From Around the Web.
