June 2016 - Miracles From Heaven, Warcraft and more....

Hey guys! Here we go with the start of my fortnightly movie release updates. Like I said, the number of movies that I think are worth a watch is constantly growing and whilst most of these are available internationally, some are only available in certain locations, so there may be a film or two from now on  available to some people reading this and not to others, but I will let you know.

So, my Movie of the Fortnight for this half of June is Me Before You. Based on the best-selling novel of the same name, this film sees the recently unemployed Louisa (Emilia Clarke) take a job at the local "castle" as a caregiver for William (Sam Claflin), a paralysed young man who now has a world view due to his disability. Wanting to reverse his cynicism and restore him to his outgoing former self, Lou is determined to show Will that life is still worth living by taking him on a series of adventures. 

Also out in the first weekend of June is The Nice Guys. In this 1970s crime-action comedy, down-on-his-luck private eye, Holland March (Ryan Gosling), and hired enforcer, Jackson Healey (Russell Crowe), have to work together to find a missing girl and solve the seemingly unrelated death of a porn star. The two plunge further into the dark and seedy underbelly of Los Angeles and uncover a shocking conspiracy that reaches up to the highest circles of powers.

Next is Race, the incredible true story of courage and determination in which Jesse Owens (Stephan James) became a legendary athletics superstar during the 1936 Olympic Games, on his quest to become the greatest track and field athlete of all time, where he faces off against Adolf Hitler and his vision the superior Aryan race.

Like last month's Angry Birds Movie, Warcraft: The Beginning is another movie based on a very popular game. This time, when a portal opens, connecting the human world of Azeroth with Draenor, home to the orcs, the once peaceful Azeroth stands on the brink of war as the orcs flee their dying home world to colonise another.

Released the following week is firstly, Miracles from Heaven. This is a christian, faith-based film that follows the true story of Anna (Kylie Rogers), a young girl who is diagnosed with an incurable eating disorder that forces her to feed through a tube. Her mother, Christy (Jennifer Garner) is determined to find a cure for her daughter until a freak accident causes Anna to go to hospital. There doctors find that she not only escaped with a few cuts and bruises but she is also now cured of her illness, leaving medical experts bewildered. 

Next is Mother's Day. The film tells the story of three mums. Sandy (Jennifer Aniston) is a stressed-out, single mum,  Jesse (Kate Hudson) is a fitness freak who doesn't tell her parents that she has a family and Miranda (Julia Roberts) who is too busy with her career to worry about having children. When their respective problems start coming to a head, the Mother's Day holiday takes on a special meaning.

Learning to Drive is a drama with a comedic twist. When Wendy (Patricia Clarkson) sets out to claim her independence after her husband leaves her, she hires Darwan (Ben Kingsley) to teach her to drive, something many New Yorkers never do. An unlikely friendship is formed between the two of them and he shows her how to take control of the wheel in the car and in life, she coaches him on how to impress women.

In The Boss, Michelle Darnell (Melissa McCarthy) is a wealthy, giant in her industry. Having just been released from prison after a being caught out during insider trading, she is ready to rebrand herself but not everybody is willing to forgive her actions so she has to move in with Claire, (Kristen Bell) her hapless former PA. Now, this cunning entrepeneur has a new plan to get back to the top.
