2 Guns

Ever wonder what it would be like if multiple Academy Award winning superstar Denzel Washington teamed with Mark Wahlberg in an action-packed buddy film a' la Lethal Weapon together?

Here's the result in this summer's newest action comedy aptly named 2 Guns, which ironically, happens to be the title of a popular graphic novel series. Anyway, here's the plot: It tells the double careers of undercover Naval agent Bobby Stig (Denzel, same charm, same charisma, new sense of humor) and DEA agent Marcus Stigman (Wahlberg) have been performing some high-profile jobs for a ruthless Mob organization. However, all heck breaks loose when Bobby and Marcus' covers are blown

It is apparent, that someone has set our two heroes up. Now with their identities- AND their lives at risk, Bobby and Marcus begin a jam-packed, rough-riding, and laugh-filled blitzkreig in order to find who betrayed them and get even with the Mob with their own taste of medicine.

Featuring Paula Patton from Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol as Denzel's love interest, Bill Paxton as a psychotic gangster, veteran actor Edward James Olmos of Battlestar Galactica and Blade Runner fame, and Fred Ward from Naked Gun 3 The Final Insult. 2 Guns blasts into theaters nationwide August 2nd. Trust me, it's an invitation you simply CAN't refuse

RIPD

In the tradition of Men in Black and Ghostbusters, a new supernatural action-comedy is about to be added to that tradition. You may ask, what would the film title be? Well, here's the answer: RIPD or Rest in Peace Department, for short.

Based on a bestselling comic series from Dark Horse Publishing, this new fantasy laugh-fest tells the tale of everyday police officer Nick Walker (Ryan Reynolds) whom is killed in an ordinary police bust, only to be instantly transported to RIPD department, which would be, natch, up in the skies.

Now recruited by dry-humuored RIPD boss Proctor (the ever-sexy Mary Louise-Parker), Walker is tasked with one-executing ghoulish thugs that terrorize the living and most importantly, find and kill the guy who shot him. Fortunately, he's not the ONLY RIPD officer, as who better to have the top billing in this film but Jeff Bridges! Not to mention, he reprises his Rooster Cogburn version again, minus the eyepatch

Of course, since being a typical sci-fi film, it just wouldnt be complete without a little apocalyptic situation, as in when the entire legion of monsters start taking over the human world, it's up to Nick and Roy (Bridges) to start some literal EPIC ass-kicking moves... and not to mention mopping up the mess afterwards with using the goons' body parts as a mop. (Just kidding. It's PG-13) Also appearing is Kevin Bacon as possibly the man who's responsible for Nick's situation, Marisa Miller (Yep, the sexy blonde model) as get this, Roy's avatar!? Don't believe me? Take a gander:

Believe it or not, having Marisa Miller perform an 'undercover' version of Bridges is guaranteed for some rather loud laughs. RIPD bursts into your local theatre next Friday, July 19th. If you see it, be warned: You just might laugh yourself silly!

Star Trek into Darkness

After the events of the epic 2009 reboot, the Star Trek crew warp-speeds into theatres yet again with the most intense storyline yet, and featuring a familiar character from the original film Star Trek: Wrath of Khan 1982, Khan himself

Now played by distinguished British actor Benedict Cumberbatch from BBC's Sherlock, Khan is more dangerous than ever. And he's not the only Star Trek character to return, as the lovely Alice Eve co-stars as the gorgeous Carol Marcus

And, as Starfleet's newest admiral, it's none other than Peter Weller, who you may recognize as the popular robot superhero named (what else) RoboCop

The Great Gatsby

For as long as the world can remember, F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic story The Great Gatsby has won over millions of readers and has been made into two successful films. But now, it's back and more stronger than ever, thanks to master storyteller Baz Luhrmann

Set in New York City in 1922, the story starts with a traveler named Nick Carraway (played by Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire) who is en route to visit old family pals, hot-headed, arrogant Tom Buchanan (played, respectively by Joel Edgerton) and his sultry, flirtatious wife Daisy (Carey Mulligan) who seems to have once been romantically intimate with Gatsby himself

And who better to play Gatsby than Hollywood megastar Leo DiCaprio, who had indeed worked with Luhrmann in Romeo + Juliet. 
In the plot, Daisy remains completely out of touch with remembering or seeing any of Gatsby, until when out of nowhere, the two star-gazed lovers finally come face to face

Unfortunately, bad boy Tom discovers Daisy's relationship with Gatsby, and our hero Nick isn't the only one with problems as he finds himself being haggled by a shrewd, manipulative housewife (played electrifyingly by Isla Fisher)

In such a story of love, compromise, deception, betrayal, sex, greed and that the past has a very beautiful but nevertheless unspeakable way of repeating itself. As Gatsby quoted from this film "Change the past?" Well? Does he think anyone can rewrite history? Can he ever rekindle his relationship with Daisy? And more importantly: Why does Nick think Gatsby maybe might have something *else* he'd like to keep secret. All these questions, and never-before-seen facts will soon be unveiled May 10, this Friday at your local theatre. If you're looking for a good flick on Mother's Day, then this is an invitation you simply cant refuse
