Ride Along 2 action comedy
January
15 "As his wedding day approaches, Ben heads to Miami
with his soon-to-be brother-in-law James to bring down a
drug dealer who's supplying the dealers of Atlanta with
product." Ice Cube and Kevin Hart are at it again. Looks
funny as hell!
Deadpool action adventure comedy February 12 "A former Special Forces operative turned mercenary is
subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated
healing powers, adopting the alter ego 'Deadpool'." Funny all
the way through, Ryan Reynolds is just charming enough to make
Deadpool loveable and not a douchebag. I was afraid I would hate
him, but I've seen it twice and I want to see it again. The
Action is really enjoyable; the insults, hilarious. You just
gotta love it. The opening credits are the best. The opening
action sequence, that keeps getting interrupted, is the best thing
I've seen since The Raid 2 (2014).
Hour of Vengeance action February 16 "The story focuses on an angry mob boss who is ripped off by
his own people, so in retaliation Mr. Scorello, gets even with those
who have wronged him the only way he knows best . . . by killing
them! Mr. Scorello calls in a professional hit man to clean house. A
violent bloodbath of revenge follows as "Max Stryker" delivers a
brand of justice that is best served hot.. with lead that is!
Prepare for an action adventure you won't soon forget." Synopsis by
Writer, Director, Star Bradley Creanzo(as Max Stryker)
Triple 9 crime thriller . . .
they are going to have to add: action February 26 "A gang of criminals and corrupt cops plan the murder of a
police officer in order to pull off their biggest heist yet across
town." The trailer is intense. A must see. Heat
from 1995 comes to mind . . .
Gods of Egypt
adventure, fantasy . . . looks like a lot of action too February 26 Synopsis: who cares.
Gerard Butler and Rufus Sewell make this a must see.
Chadwick Boseman (soon to be Black Panther in Captain
America: Civil Warand Black Panther) is in it too. The
Stunt Coordinator is
Glenn Boswell. Also, Ric
Anderson is listed as the "Stunt Coordinator: Second Unit".
The trailer's visual effects look incredible.
Weaponized action sci-fi thriller
March 1 "A
damaged homicide detective (Johnny
Messner) must prevent a grieving father from unleashing a "robotic
virus" that he believes will destroy the terrorist cell that murdered his son,
but at an unimaginable cost." Also stars Tom Sizemore,
Mickey Rourke,Michael
Paré, and John Foo.
Stunt Coordinator Joe Perez
(II).
London Has Fallen action crime thriller
March 4 "In London for the Prime Minister's funeral, Mike Banning discovers a plot to assassinate all the attending world leaders."
Starring Gerard Butler, and Aaron Eckhart, this movie looks
like it upholds the Action Movie standard in the
Super Cop
subgenre: Protecting the President at all costs. With
Butler's 'merry quips', it should be spot on: "You should
have brought more men."
I love this movie already!
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice action adventure
fantasy March 25 Sorry
fanboys, I'm going with Superman for the win, however, I am most
psyched to see AQUAMAN, my favorite. Trying to overlook the
casting and costume of Wonder Woman (disappointing)!
We've waited so long to see Batman versus Superman. That title is
enough, but when they add Dawn of Justice, it just makes me super
excited for the long-awaited Justice League movie. Aw yeah! DC
baby!! The
Justice League Part One (17 November 2017)
April 2016
Hardcore Henry action crime drama
April 8 "A first-person action film from the eyes of Henry, who's
resurrected from death with no memory. He must discover his identity
and save his wife from a warlord with a plan to bio-engineer
soldiers." This first-person movie is the inevitable
full-length shot of the Biting
Elbows video "Bad
Motherfucker". The People's Choice at TIFF's Midnight
Madness, it should be everything we hope for.
Criminal action crime drama April 15 The memories & skills of a deceased CIA agent (Ryan
Reynolds) are implanted into an unpredictable and dangerous
convict (Kevin Costner). This looks like old school Action
starring old school Actors. Just what I want! Costner at the top of
his game.
May 2016
Captain America: Civil War action thriller
May 6 What an excellent series. This movie is everything you hope
it will be! Loved Black Panther but Spider-Man stole the show. I'm
very excited for the Black Panther movie and the "98%
African-American" cast! I wonder if Michael Jai White loved it too?
I still think he would have been awesome—not to take anything away
from Chadwick Boseman's performance, which was stellar!
The Nice Guys action comedy crime May 20 "A mismatched pair of private eyes investigate the apparent
suicide of a fading porn star in 1970s Los Angeles." Russell
Crowe, Ryan Gosling, and Director/Writer Shane Black.
It's like time travel if you were old enough to remember 1977.
X-Men: Apocalypse action adventure fantasy
sci-fi May 27 They're giving us the 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse'. "With
the emergence of the world's first mutant, Apocalypse, the X-Men

Warcraft action adventure fantasy
June 10 "The peaceful realm of Azeroth stands on the brink of war as its
civilization faces a fearsome race of invaders: orc warriors fleeing

the two worlds, one army faces destruction and the other faces
extinction. From opposing sides, two heroes are set on a collision
course that will decide the fate of their family, their people, and
their home."
Central Intelligence (NOT action?) comedy
crime June 17 "After he reunites with an old pal through Facebook, a
mild-mannered accountant is lured into the world of international

campaign and all the fun they've been having on Instagram.
Games
of Aces action adventure war
June 27 "A rescue attempt of a German traitor during World War I has
unexpected consequences and sets off an adventure across the Arabian

stylistically (that's a good thing). Trailer on vimeo.

Efraim Diveroli, who won a $300 million contract from the Pentagon

"Action" but we can't miss this. It's like two
Regular
Joes get dropped into an Action Movie. And, it's rated "R".
Mechanic: Resurrection action crime thriller
August
26 "Arthur Bishop thought he had put his murderous past behind him
when his most formidable foe kidnaps the love of his life. Now he is

accidents." (I'll
see anything with Jason Statham in it!)
Rated "R"!
September 2016
Kickboxer: Vengeance
action September 2
Jean-Claude Van Damme heads this exceptional cast of
Action Figures. Sadly, it was the last film of Darren
Shahlavi. Alain Moussi,
Dave Bautista, George St. Pierre, and T.J. Storm give
this film's hard-hitting fight scenes some punch. JCVD is
entertaining and will always be a total Bad Ass.
The Magnificent Seven action western September 23 The Seven are:
- Denzel Washington (a bounty hunter) - Chris Pratt (a gambler/explosives expert) - Vincent D'Onofrio (a trapper) - Ethan Hawke (a sharpshooter) - Byung-hun Lee (an assassin) - Manuel Garcia Rulfo (an outlaw), and
- Martin Sensmeier (a Comanche warrior)).
The cast also includes Vinne Jones, Peter Sarsgaard, Luke
Grimes, Matt Bomer, and Cam Gigandet.
From Wikipedia: "James Horner was pegged to write
the film's score, but died on June 22, 2015. In July 2015, nearly a
month after Horner's death, Fuqua learned that the score already had
been written, and Horner had planned for it to be a surprise. As
such, the score will be the third and final Horner score to be
released posthumously."
