The Players: Directors: Sean Anders (Sex Drive, That's My Boy), Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses, Identity Thief) Writers: Jonathan Goldstein, John Francis Daley (Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2, Horrible Bosses) Starring: Jason Bateman (This Is Where I Leave You, Arrested Development), Jason Sudeikis (We're The Millers, The Campaign), Charlie Day (It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Pacific Rim), Chris Pine (Star Trek, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit), Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained, Inglorious Basterds)
Synopsis: The follow-up to the 2011 hit comedy "Horrible Bosses" reunites Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis as everyone's favorite working stiffs: Nick, Dale and Kurt. Jennifer Aniston and Oscar winners Jamie Foxx and Kevin Spacey also reprise their "Horrible Bosses" starring roles, while Chris Pine and Oscar winner Christoph Waltz star as new adversaries standing between the guys and their dreams of success.
Why you should watch: The original totally makes me LOL. If it wasn't for such a stacked month at the movies this could've easily been a number 1 choice.
4. Interstellar
The Players: Director: Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight, Inception) Writers: Christopher Nolan, Jonathan Nolan (Memento, The Dark Knight) Starring: Matthew McConaughey (Dalls Buyers Club, Mud) Anne Hathaway (Les Miserables, The Dark Knight Rises), Casey Affleck (Gone Baby Gone, Ocean's Eleven), Jessica Chastain (Mama, Zero Dark Thirty), Michael Caine (Inception, Batman Begins)
Synopsis: With our time on Earth coming to an end, a team of explorers undertakes the most important mission in human history; traveling beyond this galaxy to discover whether mankind has a future among the stars.
Why you should watch: Nolan's toughest sell to date, should be visually striking and thoughtful but will it hold up to the movie-going public?
3. Big Hero 6
The Players: Directors: Don Hall (Winnie The Pooh), Chris Williams (Debut) Writers: Robert L. Baird (Monsters University), Don Hall (Meet The Robinsons), Jordan Roberts (You're Not You), Duncan Rouleau (Debut), Paul Briggs (Debut) Starring: TJ Miller (How To Train Your Dragon, She's Out Of My League) Damon Wayans Jr. (Let's Be Cops, New Girl), Ryan Potter (Supah Ninjas), Jamie Chung (The Hangover 2, Premium Rush), Scott Adsit (30 Rock, The Informant!)
Synopsis: With all the heart and humor audiences expect from Walt Disney Animation Studios, "Big Hero 6" is an action-packed comedy-adventure about robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada, who learns to harness his genius-thanks to his brilliant brother Tadashi and their like-minded friends: adrenaline junkie Go Go Tamago, neatnik Wasabi, chemistry whiz Honey Lemon and fanboy Fred. When a devastating turn of events catapults them into the midst of a dangerous plot unfolding in the streets of San Fransokyo, Hiro turns to his closest companion-a robot named Baymax-and transforms the group into a band of high-tech heroes determined to solve the mystery.
Why you should watch: Disney's been on a roll recently and if Big Hero 6 can even touch Wreck-It Ralph it'll be a huge success, early reviews have been great so expect big things from Hiro and crew.
2. The Hunger Games: Mockinjay Part 1
The Players: Director: Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend, Catching Fire) Writer: Danny Strong (The Butler, Recount) Starring: Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook, X-Men: Days Of Future Past), Liam Hemsworth (The Last Song, The Expendables 2), Josh Hutcherson (Red Dawn, The Kids Are Alright), Julianne Moore (Non-Stop, Crazy Stupid Love), Donald Sutherland (Pride & Prejudice, Horrible Bosses)
Synopsis: The worldwide phenomenon of The Hunger Games continues to set the world on fire with The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1, which finds Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) in District 13 after she literally shatters the games forever. Under the leadership of President Coin (Julianne Moore) and the advice of her trusted friends, Katniss spreads her wings as she fights to save Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and a nation moved by her courage. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 is directed by Francis Lawrence from a screenplay by Danny Strong and Peter Craig and produced by Nina Jacobson's Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. The novel on which the film is based is the third in a trilogy written by Suzanne Collins that has over 65 million copies in print in the U.S. alone.
Why you should watch: Very rarely does a movie aimed at teens strike the right chords with critics and fans alike but that's exactly what the first 2 films do. We can expect more of the same in the penultimate chapter as the rebellion starts.
1. Dumb And Dumber To
The Players: Directors: The Farrelly Brothers (Stuck On You, Shallow Hal) Writer: Sean Anders (Hot Tub Time Machine, We're The Millers) Starring: Jim Carrey (Mr. Poppers Penguins, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective), Jeff Daniels (Looper, RV), Kathleen Turner (Monster House, Marley & Me)
Synopsis: Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels reprise their roles as lovable imbeciles Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne in this sequel to Dumb and Dumber from original directing duo Bobby and Peter Farrelly
Why you should watch: All signs point to this being a stinker... The Farrelly's haven't done anything notable in years, the film is yet to be screened to critics (likely because the studio expects bad reviews) and sequels years apart tend to fall flat (Scream 4, Toy Story 4 and Men In Black 3 are the exceptions). But God help me it's Harry and Lloyd! I'll cry if this movie is bad but I liked the trailer so I'm sure I'll like the film!
