Nic Cage better fight a shark with his fists.

[GhostMachine]

Actually, in his next movie he will be a cyborg whose artificial hands go out of control, and he will then fight his fists with a shark.

New Jumanji! Had heard rumours about Kevin Hart being in it with The Rock, but didn't know about the other two.

Kubo and the Two Strings is amazing. It's a genuine film of the year contender.

[lanky316]

It's probably my favourite so far. Completely blew me away, thought it looked good but in the end it was just amazing. Loved it.

[MDK]

Err... Why are there Nazis in the new Transformers film? And King Arthur? 

[MalaCloudy Black]

Don't forget Anthony Hopkins.

Also, this is the rumored plot according to JoBlo:

 

Spoiler

 

Optimus Prime return to Cybertron to find the planet dead, and learns he’s the one to blame for it. To bring it back to life he’ll need a mysterious artifact that – we hope you’re sitting down – is on Earth.

The artifact is connected to Merlin, the sorcerer mentor to King Arthur in the legendary story. Merlin gained his magic through a visiting Transformer, not the first time the race has dabbled in altering human history (the site speculates that the artifact could be the mythical sword Excalibur, hence a sword featured in the film’s key art).

The film picks up where the previous movie left off, with Optimus Prime in space; Optimus is the main Transformers character, however Bumblebee will take a bigger role while Optimus (presumably) seeks out Cybertron, along with Hound, Crosshairs, Drift, the Dinobots and “mini-dinobots” operating out of the South Dakota badlands.

 

 

[MDK]

Wow. And not in a good way.

[Colly]

Transformers movies have plots?

[Noah]

I'm pretty sure @WillyWonka even with his Nathan Jones fetish, could script a better transformers movie.

[CobraKaiEnTai]

You bet I could! *feverishly starts typing*

I'll be honest I don't get the bad rep Con Air has gotten over the years. Like the movie is completely tongue in cheek for the most part, the actors are obviously just chewing up the scenery and having a good time, the crew got to play with explosives and blow alot of things up every few scenes.. The entire movie just screams mindless summer blockbuster. Just sit back and enjoy the ride, thank you for choosing Con Air.

 

[MalaCloudy Black]

I didn't know it had a bad rep.

[Josh]

We riffed on it in the movie riffing group I just left. It's definitely a mix of fun and outright cringe. A lot of set-pieces and dialogue are cheesy fun, but the general attitude toward race, gender, rape, etc. makes me shudder every time.

[Horus]

Yeah it's attitude towards certain issues is tasteless, I agree. 

Also it'd does have a rep as being pretty bad however I think the people who generally don't like it aren't getting that no one involved wasn't trying to make anything other then a fun little action flick.

[GoGo Yubari]

I think Con Air has aged into being considered fun '90s cheese in the same way, say, Top Gun is fun '80s cheese. I really enjoy it for what it is.

[Colly]

Top Gun and Con Air are great films. :/

I had a friend once who called it "Air Con" in front of a group.  Some planes have lethal air conditioning systems.
