X-Men:

Apocalypse The X-Men need no introduction, seeing that this is already the ninth movie in the franchise. This time round, the adversity facing the band of mutants comes in the form of supervillain Apocalypse, who’s the true OG since he’s immortal and believed to be the first human with the mutated X-Gene. Oh, we’ll also get to find out exactly how Professor X went bald.

The Nice Guys

The scene:1970s Los Angeles. The plot: a thug-for-hire (played by Russell Crowe) enlists the help of a clumsy, bumbling private eye (played by Ryan Gosling with an impressively '70s 'stache) to find a missing girl. Deliciously campy hilarity ensues, because this is Hollywood we’re talking about.

Bad Neighbours 2

In the first movie, we saw Mac and Kelly (played by Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne) desperately trying to get rid of their noisy fraternity neighbours, led by a shirtless-all-the-time Zac Efron. Spoiler alert: they succeeded and went on to live happily ever after… until a rowdy sorority takes up residence next door just as they were about to sell the house. This time round, they wage war against Chloë Grace Moretz and her Kappa Kappa Nu sisters. They enlist the help of Zac Efron who’s, once again, shirtless all the time. We cannot emphasise this enough.
