I Am Chris Farley
Chris Farley was one of the biggest names in comedy in the 1980s and generally agreed by everyone to be the funniest man ever. He is also one of my biggest influences when it comes to comedy, because he never took himself seriously. This raw documentary features interviews from everyone in comedy, including his close friends David Spade and Adam Sandler, as well as Christina Applegate, Mike Myers, Dan Aykroyd, Bob Odenkirk, Jay Mohr and Bob Saget.
Tig
Okay, I know this one is a Netflix documentary, but you all have Netflix, right? This one is next in the Jack loves comedy, so let's all sit through comedy documentaries edition of Trailers. It is about hilarious comedian Tig Notaro, who toured with an act about the cancer she had. Doesn't look as dark as that Chris Farley one, but it's probably still going to be sad.
Ten Thousand Saints
A father takes his son to live with him in 1980s New York where they bond over music. Starring Ethan Hawke, Emily Mortimer, Emile Hirsch, Hailee Steinfeld and Asa Butterfield.
Secret in Their Eyes
After the brutal murder of her daughter, an FBI investigator goes rogue trying to find her killer. Basically a female Liam Neeson. Starring Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Dean Norris and Doug Stamper.
Steve Jobs
Danny Boyle's Aaron Sorkin-written biopic of Steve Jobs looks like it will be very intense and follow along in a similar vein to Sorkin's other works The Social Network and The Newsroom. Starring Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen, Katherine Waterston, Jeff Daniels and Michael Stuhlbarg.
Creed
Since Sylvester Stallone is way too old to don his boxing gloves and get back in the ring, the studios need a new way to make money off the old underdog boxing story. Enter Adonis Creed, estranged son of Apollo. And he needs a trainer, so enter Rocky. Boom, sequel is born! Starring Michael B. Jordan, Sylvester Stallone, Tessa Thompson and Tony Bellew.
London Has Fallen
Seriously guys? Come on, needless sequel making has to stop. Let me hold back a bit of bile while I write this. It's a sequel of Olympus Has Fallen where, get this, terrorists have taken over London. And who happens to be visiting on that very day? The President of the United States and his trusty bodyguard. Starring Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Jackie Earle Haley, Morgan Freeman and Melissa Leo. Seriously Melissa, you have an Oscar, you don't need to do this.
Snowden
Oh wow, guys, I don't know what to say. A biopic about whistleblower Edward Snowden directed by Oliver Stone. Now Stone is a major left wing hitter, but after making W, this movie really good go either way. It could portray him as a major hero or vilify him as the worst person in the world. Either way, it's probably best you all go see Citizenfour to get the actual story before you see this. Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Shailene Woodley, Melissa Leo, Zachary Quinto, Rhys Ifans and Nicolas Cage(?)
Jenny's Wedding
This is literally a big budget movie for people who can't come to terms with gay marriage. That's it, it's said. Sure, it's okay to condemn it when you don't know any gay people, but when it's your own daughter, well gosh, that's a different story. Starring Katherine Heigl, Alexis Bledel and Tom Wilkinson.
Statlen Island Summer
Netflix is really on a roll with it's original content. This movie comes from SNL producer Lorne Michaels and stars Ashley Greene, Bobby Moynihan, Fred Armisen and Will Forte.
