Clint Eastwood’s big screen version of the Tony Award-winning musical tells the story of the four young men from the wrong side of the tracks in New Jersey who came together to form the iconic ’60s rock group The Four Seasons. Their trials and triumphs are accompanied by the hit songs that influenced a generation, and are now being embraced by a new generation of fans through the stage musical. The story follows Frank Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi. Clint Eastwood ( Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, Gran Torino, Invictus, Hereafter, J. Edgar) is directing with a screenplay by John Logan (Skyfall, Hugo) and Rick Elice & Marshall Brickman.

In the sequel, which was inspired by Steve Harvey’s best-selling book Act Like a Lady, all the couples are back for a wedding in Las Vegas. But plans for a romantic weekend go awry when their various misadventures get them into some compromising situations that threaten to derail the big event. How many more wacky weekends, full of high jinx in Las Vegas movies do we need?
Venus in Fur Moviefied Most Anticipated
Venus in Fur is the latest film from master filmmaker Roman Polanski. Alone in a Paris theater after a long day of auditioning actresses for his new play, writer-director Thomas (MathieuAmalric) complains that no actress he’s seen has what it takes to play the lead female character: a woman who enters into an agreement with her male counterpart to dominate him as her slave. Thomas is about to leave the theater when actress Vanda (EmmanuelleSeigner) bursts in, a whirlwind of erratic – and, it turns out, erotic – energy. At first she seems to embody everything Thomas has been lamenting. She is pushy, foul-mouthed, desperate and ill-prepared – or so it seems. Run to your nearest theater to see this!
