Last Vegas

Last Vegas, directed by Jon Turteltaub, looks to have all of the qualities for an amazing comedy. For starters, the cast is absolutely amazing. How can you put funny guys Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Kline together and not laugh a little? The story line is also without a doubt a winner. Three sixty-something year-old men come together to throw a bachelor party in Las Vegas for their final single friend. Be on the lookout for this star-studded film hitting theaters November 1!

About Time

About Time tells the story of Tim (Domhnall Gleeson), a time traveler, and his adventures through time and love. Tim’s father tells him that the men of their family can travel through time, and his life has not been the same since. Tim uses his not so great time traveling skills to try and win the heart of Mary (Rachel McAdams).  This movie, which hits theaters November 8, will be a great one to watch with friends or that cute new boy in your life. Seriously, who doesn’t love a good Rachel McAdams film?

Dallas Buyers Club

Dallas Buyers Club, starring Jared Leto, Matthew McConaughey, and Jennifer Garner, tells the story of Ron Woodroof (McConaughey) and his battle of living life with HIV in 1986. Through his struggles with pharmaceuticals, Woodroof creates a network that would enable others to receive alternative treatments that may prolong their lives. This movie is sure to be a deep drama full of struggle and pain, but a great watch overall. Matthew McConaughey puts on the performance of a lifetime in this “dare to live” drama. Catch it in theaters November 1!
