‘The Reader’ (2008)

This moving drama takes place in post-World War II Germany and tells the story of Michael Berg and Hanna Schmitz, whose passionate but short-lived romance is unexpectedly rekindled when Michael, now a law student, sees Hanna accused of war crimes. The film powerfully examines themes of guilt, the importance of reading and writing, and how the Holocaust affected multiple generations. Kate Winslet received an Oscar for her acclaimed performance in this adaptation of Bernhard Schlink’s novel.

”68 Kill’ (2017)

This darkly funny and thrilling crime story centers on Chip, who finds himself caught up in a dangerous robbery thanks to his girlfriend, Liza. What begins as a simple plan to steal $68,000 quickly turns into a wild ride filled with violence and backstabbing. The film combines the feel of a road trip movie with over-the-top action and a gritty style, and stars Matthew Gray Gubler and AnnaLynne McCord.

‘The Contractor’ (2022)

Chris Pine plays James Harper, a former Special Forces Sergeant who’s forced to leave the military and loses his benefits. To provide for his family, he takes a dangerous job with a private military group in Berlin. When the mission fails, Harper is suddenly the target and must evade capture while trying to figure out who set him up and why.

‘Sleeping Dogs’ (2024)

I’m really excited about this new movie! It stars Russell Crowe as a retired detective battling Alzheimer’s, and he’s given one last chance to solve a really disturbing case he worked on years ago. It’s not just about the mystery, though – as he tries to remember what happened, he starts to realize things aren’t what they seemed, and a lot of secrets come out, even involving people he used to trust. It’s a dark, twisty thriller, and it’s actually based on a fantastic novel called ‘The Book of Mirrors’.

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ (2022)

More than three decades after the first movie, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell is still a daring naval pilot. He’s assigned to train a group of young graduates for a highly challenging mission. One of the trainees is the son of his late friend, Goose, which forces Maverick to deal with memories from his past. The film was known for its realistic flight sequences and became a huge hit around the world.

‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’ (2025)

Ethan Hunt is back in a thrilling new mission that picks up directly where the last one left off, continuing the fight against the mysterious organization known as the Entity. This time, he and the IMF team race around the world to find a key that controls a dangerous, out-of-control artificial intelligence. Expect Tom Cruise to deliver his trademark incredible stunts, including breathtaking underwater scenes and aerial action. The film is intended to be a final, conclusive chapter in the popular action series.

‘Regretting You’ (2025)

This movie, adapted from the bestselling novel by Colleen Hoover, tells the story of a mother, Morgan, and her teenage daughter, Clara, as they navigate the aftermath of a devastating accident. Their relationship is strained by hidden truths and overwhelming grief, and the film explores themes of first love, heartbreak, and the challenges of restoring trust within a family. Allison Williams and Mckenna Grace star as the mother and daughter.

‘Roofman’ (2025)

This crime drama tells the true story of Jeffrey Manchester, played by Channing Tatum, a man famous for robbing McDonald’s restaurants. He became well-known for breaking into buildings through the roof and famously hid in a Toys “R” Us while avoiding police. The film follows his life on the run, detailing his bold robberies and eventual capture. Director Derek Cianfrance highlights the unusual personality of Manchester throughout the movie.

‘Wander’ (2020)

Arthur Bretnik, a troubled private investigator with a penchant for conspiracy theories, takes on a case involving a mysterious death in the town of Wander. His investigation quickly leads him to believe this new case is connected to the tragic death of his daughter. Starring Aaron Eckhart, Tommy Lee Jones, and Heather Graham, the film is a blend of classic detective mystery and intense psychological thriller, fueled by a growing sense of paranoia.

‘The Running Man’ (1987)

In a grim future, a man wrongly accused of a crime is forced to compete in a brutal game show broadcast on live television. He and other contestants must fight for their lives against skilled assassins called “Stalkers” while a live audience watches. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Ben Richards, who ultimately sparks a revolt against the powerful, media-driven government. The movie is inspired by a novel originally written by Stephen King using the pen name Richard Bachman.
