SOUTHPAW May Not Offer Anything New, But Gyllenhaal Is Something To Watch.

SOUTHPAW

Director: Antoine Fuqua
Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Rachel McAdams, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Oona Laurence, and Forest Whitaker.
Rated R for language throughout, and some violence.

Jake Gyllenhaal has taken his career very seriously in recent years with outstanding work in Prisoners, Enemy, and last year's Nightcrawler. Here, he transforms himself once again as a physical beast ready to take down any opponent in the ring. Does he deliver? In short, yes, he sure does.

ANT-MAN Proves Marvel Doesn't Have To Go Bigger And Louder.

Ant-Man

Director: Peyton Reed

Cast: Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Corey Stoll, Michael Peña, Bobby Cannavale, and Michael Douglas.

Rated PG-13 sci-fi action violence.

People should probably just stop doubting Marvel Studios. No one will argue the studio's monetary success, many will even claim the majority of these films are critically sound, and yet whenever Marvel attempts something unusual or risky, e.g. Guardians of the Galaxy, many have falsely predicted the studio's eventual downfall. Well, plenty of people, critics and fans alike, were sure Ant-Man would be the first crack in a strong foundation. I was skeptical myself, but really people, let's just let Marvel do their thing, because Ant-Man is loads of fun.
