Playdate<\/p>\n

Reacher star Alan Ritchson shows a more comic side in this new action movie, in which he stars alongside Grown Ups’ Kevin James.<\/p>\n

Playdate follows a recently unemployed stay-at-home dad called Brian (James), who agrees to go on a playdate with charismatic fellow homebody Jeff (Ritchson) and their sons. However, he’s suddenly “thrust into a chaotic scramble to stay alive as they are pursued by a ruthless team of mercenaries”.<\/p>\n

Already attracting acclaim and awards buzz, Train Dreams is set in the early 20th century and features Star Wars’ Joel Edgerton and The Brutalist’s Felicity Jones.<\/p>\n

The Netflix movie focuses on logger Robert Grainier, who works to build the US’s railroad empire and marries Gladys \u2013 though his work often takes him away from her and their daughter. However, his life takes an unexpected turn as he embraces the beauty of the forests he has felled.<\/p>\n

Sitting at a near-perfect 96% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, the movie was called a “simply stunning film from start to finish” by HeyUGuys<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As the title suggests, the story follows two thieves who have designs on robbing the same London luxury store on Christmas Eve, though when they decide to work together, they realise that there may be some deeper feelings between them.<\/p>\n
