Escape From L.A.
If you have never seen this sequel, I suggest you don’t compare it to Escape from New York, because they are as different as the two movies could be.
The King's Man
As a stand-alone film, The King’s Man is decent but doesn’t stray far from other war/spy films. However, as part of the Kingsman franchise...
American Underdog
Casting this film is one of the keys to its success. Levy not only has a similar physical appearance to Warner, but he comes across onscreen as a genuinely nice guy.
Dog
Dog is very much a Tatum production with the story having been written by his friend Brett Rodriguez, screenplay by his other friend, Reid Carolin (Magic Mike) and co-directed by Carolin and Tatum.
Uncharted
While based on the beloved video game, the movie also borrows heavily from some other well-known films.
I Want You Back
I Want You Back is most definitely a rom-com but perhaps a slightly elevated version of one.
Marry Me
Marry Me checks off all the boxes of a traditional romcom, which if you like the genre, you will probably enjoy this movie.
Clifford the Big Red Dog
Watching as an adult, Clifford the Big, Red Dog is sweet, cute, mildly humorous and a bit of innocent fun.
