Release: Aug 10

Farenheit 451 - (Dir. Ramin Baharani, Star. Michael b. Jordan, Michael Shannon) HBO's adaption of Ray Bradbury's famous novel about fireman who burn books in the future. My favorite book. The cast is great, but nothing about the

Incredibles 2 (June 15) -  Sequel to one of Eric's favorite Pixar films

A Quiet Place (Apr 6) - Well reviewed horror, reminiscent of M. Night's 'Signs'.

MI-6 (7/27)- The sixth movie of that Tom Cruise franchise where he runs a lot.
