Dr. Seuss' The Lorax
Directed by: Chris Renaud, Kyle Balda
Starring: Zac Efron, Taylor Swift, Danny DeVito
Illumination Entertainment (Despicable Me) is that the newest production house to squash a Dr. Seuss book and spit it out as mainstream entertainment. This adaptation took several licenses, together with adding a trifle love story to the environmental theme of the fable. So far, there has not been a legitimately sensible Dr. Seuss film (The original animated Grinch being the lone exception) thus it's uncertain this one can break through. These movies are usually corny as hell and a virtual assault on the senses. I do offer credit, however, to whoever thought to solid Danny DeVito because the Lorax. Inspired.
See it? No.
Project X
Directed by: Nima Nourizadeh
Starring: Thomas Mann, Oliver Cooper, Jonathan Daniel Brown
Produced by Todd Phillips, Project X is regarding 3 highschool losers who throw a ginormous party in hopes they become cool. this is often a completely unoriginal and boring concept, however the film contains no stars and should surprise some folks. The trailer is actually entertaining and that is what i am going off.

Being Flynn
Directed by: Paul Weitz

Estranged for eighteen years, father and son, Jonathan (De Niro) and Nick Flynn (Dano), reunite when father walks into the homelss shelter where son works. Blessed with an all-star solid, however cursed with unlikable characters, Being Flynn could be a film while not redemption. primarily based on the real-life memoir by Nick Flynn, Another Bullshit Night In Suck town, the film version loses quite to a small degree within the translation.
See it? Nope.
