New Release
‘Extraction 2’From top action producers Joe and Anthony Russo comes a powerful film that follows black ops warrior Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth) as he takes on yet another dangerous mission. This time, Rake and his team of mercenaries are tasked with saving a family from nefarious forces.
Although this star-studded thriller features plenty of exciting action sequences, it also gives audiences a better look at the person behind the tough-as-nails figure we know only as Tyler Rake. This gripping sequel is sure to shatter all expectations.
Indie Pick
After an attempted heist in New York goes wrong, five disparate would-be thieves are rounded up and interrogated. It becomes apparent that each, at some point in their lives, ran afoul of a vicious underworld figure known only as Keyser Söze.
This excellent mystery features a storyline that seems convoluted at first, but its fascinating plot is deftly unveiled through the clever use of flashbacks. Powered by a strong ensemble cast, this is one of those indie gems that will keep you guessing until its mind-boggling climax.
A Gripping, True-to-Life Military Story
‘The Outpost’Deep in an Afghan mountain valley sits the isolated Combat Outpost Keating, where a small unit of U.S. Army soldiers is stationed. One fateful morning, hundreds of Taliban fighters assault the base, and the soldiers must rely on each other and their training if they are to survive against overwhelming odds.
The film is one of the most accurate depictions of modern soldier life I’ve seen in a Hollywood production. From the gritty banter to the day-to-day minutiae, this is an excellent wartime drama.
A Classic Dickens Tale
‘Oliver Twist’This Charles Dickens adaptation follows young Oliver Twist (John Howard Davies) as he escapes a dismal life at an orphanage but ends up working for evil money-dealer Fagin (Alec Guinness) and his band of young thieves.
With an incredible cast, excellent pacing, immersive sets, and authentic 19th-century costumes, this drama captures the spirit of the classic novel perfectly.
