Shazam!

One of the more fun-loving films in the DC Cinematic Universe follows a boy granted the ability to transform into a costumed, musclebound, superpowered hero (Zachary Levi). Does he use this power responsibly? Usually not.

“By honing in on its own unique, weird energy, Shazam! succeeds” -Tony Stamp, FLICKS

Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron in Long Shot

Long Shot

Charlize Theron leads this romantic comedy as the US Secretary of State who hires Fred (Seth Rogen)—a boy she used to babysit, now an unemployed journalist—to travel with her as a speechwriter. From the director of 50/50 and The Night Before.

“It’s all about putting Rogen and Theron on screen together. They’re funny as all hell, sell the unlikely sizzle, and elevate what could so easily have been a rom-com by numbers if everyone involved wasn’t so invested in knocking this out of the park.” -Steve Newall, FLICKS

After a head injury, a struggling musician discovers he’s the only one in the world who remembers The Beatles in this comedic flight-of-fancy tale directed by Oscar-winner Danny Boyle (127 Hours) and from the writer of Love, Actually.
