Avengers: Infinity War

A Quiet Place

The cast is also spectacular considering it consists of Emily Blunt and John Krasinski alongside breakthrough performances by Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe, and Cade Woodward. All you need to know is that this family is trying to survive in silence, as they’re being hunted by something that’s attracted to sound. The smallest of sounds could mean death for them.

Isle of Dogs
Wes Anderson has done it again! Following the style of Fantastic Mr. Fox, Anderson has returned to his claymation ways with this new addition to his cinematic repertoire. In this futuristic society, imagined the way the future would have been seen from the perspective of the 50’s, dogs are being banned and sent to an island that serves as a garbage disposal. On the other side of the narrative, a young hero will travel to this island in search of his dog that has been taken from him like the others that were taken away in Japan. A group of alpha dogs will join forces with this young boy and embark on an odyssey to find his lost friend. The plot sounds original and the voice actors create a phenomenal cast with the likes of Koyu Rankin, Greta Gerwig, Scarlett Johansson, Frances McDormand, Bill Murray, and more.

Blockers
Being promoted as a feminist movie by the three leading actresses because their characters are taking control of their sexuality, this movie promises to deliver. It is a comedy surrounding three teenage girls that make a sex pact to lose their virginity on prom night. Finding out about this, their parents will do everything they can to stop it. It is definitely different and refreshing, perfect for those that want to simply go to the movies and have a good laugh.
