The upcoming ‘The Invisible Man’ film is a re-imagining of the original novel and film adaptation of the same name. For those unaware, this movie is in the science fiction horror genre of films. For the general premise, the movie revolves around the heinous acts committed by a scientist who managed to make himself invisible. This film will more than likely be a very polarizing film like most horror films. Originally set to be part of a larger cinematic universe, ‘The Invisible Man’ is a movie that is meant to simply tell an individual story.
‘The Invisible Man’ sees a woman trapped in a violent, controlling relationship with a wealthy and brilliant scientist. The woman, Cecilia Kass, escapes in the dead of night and disappears into hiding, aided by her sister, their childhood friend, and his teenage daughter. Cecilia’s abusive ex commits suicide and leaves her a generous portion of his vast fortune, Cecilia suspects his death was a hoax. As a series of eerie coincidences turns lethal, threatening the lives of those she loves, Cecilia’s sanity begins to unravel as she desperately tries to prove that she is being hunted by someone nobody can see.

‘Monster Hunter’ is a best-selling series of video games that has managed to become something of an icon. The fact that this movie is being made in the first place shows that the games have managed to make waves, especially in the United States. There is no telling how well the movie will play out, but we can have hopes for it. Video game movies tend not to do so well since the two entertainment mediums are so vastly different. Hopefully this movie will be different.

Wes Anderson is known for his quirkiness when it comes to his filmmaking, so there is a lot to look forward to with this new film. His most recent film as of late is Isle of Dogs, but he has also done films such as Fantastic Mr. Fox, Grand Budapest Hotel, and Moonrise Kingdom. Wes Anderson is known for his comedy-drama films and unique directing style. The acting in the film will surely be something to behold as well. Its a film that will, for sure, have many interconnected yet separate plots that will make it a truly interesting film.
The movie sees the staff of a European publication deciding to publish a memorial edition highlighting the three best stories from the last decade: an artist sentenced to life imprisonment, student riots, and a kidnapping resolved by a chef. These story arcs are sure to be a perfect blend between the comedic and dramatic. Put simply, Wes Anderson is sure to produce another very interesting film that is sure to entertain any who watch it.

Disney constantly releases new movies and a majority of them are animated films in order to draw in crowds of families. Onward is no exception to this routine of films, and is sure to bring in crowds the same way that all other Disney films have in the past.

Onward sees two teenage elf brothers, Ian and Barley Lightfoot, going on an journey to discover if there is still a little magic left out there in order to spend one last day with their father. There father died when they were too young to remember him and they want to spend what time they can with him. Even if that means they can only spend one more day with him. What people are in for is an adventure of a lifetime that sees two boys trying to find just a little bit more family time.
