One of the saddest moments I've ever seen blended with high octane action. Literally 5 minutes in the film, Wolverine kills a group of men after kindly informing them the rims they're trying to rob were worthless. Not bad for an old man! Starting off as Old Man Logan, James is not how we remember him being. The X-men no longer exist, Wolverine is sick, old and no longer a hero. Logan is now a limo driver who's trying to save up to take care of Professor X who is suffering from Alzheimer's. A woman who seems to know Wolverine spots him at a funeral to inform him about a mysterious young girl. Of course, Logan isn't interested and blows her off. Eventually, she contacts Logan through his job and requests a limo. As he gets there, he instantly remembered her and knew it was the women who tried to talk to him earlier. She quickly stops him from leaving and offers him money to take her to a safe zone with specific directions. As he considers picking them up the next day, he finds the woman dead and the little girl alone. Wolverine eventually realizes the little girl best known as X-23 is his daughter created from his DNA. "Logan" will have you in tears as this movie will have you taking a trip down memory lane during it's ending.

Jordan Peele has us laughing, screaming, and shaking in our seats with his genre-defining film "Get Out." Taking a trip to meet your girlfriend's parents seems like a normal weekend getaway. Chris' trying to ease his nerves by making jokes, but he'll soon realize it's no laughing matter. In fact, his theories were nowhere near as frightening as what was about to come. When Chris and Rose arrive at Rose's family's mansion, Chris instantly spots two African American workers. One a landscaper and the other a maid, this has Chris lifting his eyebrows with all sorts of thoughts. Roses family seemed a little too eager to meet Chris as if they have been waiting for him for months, but how so If they never knew their daughter was dating him?... or did they? Missy, Roses mother - is constantly fiddling with her tea and can't keep her eyes off of Chris. After speaking with Chris, Missy realizes he has a smoking problem and suggests hypnosis can fix it. Chris denied the offer immediately laughing sarcastically as if she was crazy. Later that night Chris eager to smoke a cigarette ends up sitting in Missy chair hypnotized. Little does he know that was only the beginning of the unfortunate events to come. Get Out is truly a one of a kind thriller. Jordan Peele did a magnificent job writing and directing this film. You will have the chills from beginning to end.
