July arrives fully loaded with sexy (Magic Mike XXL), funny (Trainwreck), dramatic (Jimmy’s Hall) and some major action (Terminator: Genisys and Mission Impossible 5) movies. Not to mention that we are entering a time we will come to know as the Gyllenhaal-aissance, it began last year with Night Crawler and continues with Southpaw.  So whether you choose to checkout that indie movie you’ve heard so much about, or the latest big studio release, don’t forget to click on the movie title below to view the trailer. We want to make sure you know what you are getting into before you head to the theater.

July 24 

Pixels

Stars: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Michelle Monaghan, Josj Gad

Directed By: Chris Columbus

Synopsis: When aliens misinterpret video feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war, they attack the Earth in the form of the video games.

Our Two Cents: Pixels looks like it’s going to be fun to watch but not much more.

Southpaw

Stars: Rachel McAdams, Jake Gyllenhaal, Forest Whitaker

Directed By: Antoine Fuqua

Synopsis: A boxer fights his way to the top, only to find his life falling apart around him.

Our Two Cents: Strong emotional storytelling in the middle of summer? It must be the Gyllenhaal-aissance!

American Heist (Limited)

Stars: Hayden Christensen, Adrien Brody, Jordana Brewster, Akon

Directed By: Sarik Andreasyan

Synopsis: James owes his life to his older brother, Frankie after taking the rap for a crime they committed together. While Frankie served time, James worked to turn his life around, got a steady job and began courting his former girlfriend Emily. Now, Frankie is released and back on the streets with no money and no place to go.

Our Two Cents:  It’s yet another bank robbers need to leave their past but get caught up in one more job kind of movie.
