Two familiar stories make their way into theaters this weekend with a whole new perspective. The spotlight is put on a man trying to take down the infamous Pablo Escobar and Medellin. Plus a classic '80s comedy is revived thirty years later with a headlining female cast.
New York City isn’t safe when ghosts transform into humans in Ghostbusters. Two apparition aficionados, a scientist and a subway worker join forces to pull the plug on the paranormal activity in the reboot of the hit 1980’s film. The PG-13 comedic adventure stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones and Chris Hemsworth. The film plays for one hour and forty-seven minutes.
The covert operation to take down Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar is the focus of The Infiltrator. The two hour and seven minute biopic is based on the real events that took place when undercover agent Robert Mazur posed as corrupt businessman Bob Musella and entered the underground world of drugs and money laundering. Bryan Cranston stars in the drama alongside Diane Kruger, John Leguizamo, Benjamin Bratt and Olympia Dukakis. The film is rated R for violence, language, sex and drugs.
A young man tries to figure out his place in life in Cafe Society. He heads to Hollywood to learn about the entertainment business from his uncle and, in the meantime, falls for a young woman. He later returns home to New York where he becomes involved in the high profile, aristocratic nightclub scene. The PG-13 comedic drama is written and directed by Woody Allen and stars Jesse Eisenberg, Steve Carell, Blake Lively, Parker Posey and Kristen Stewart. The one hour and thirty-six minute film is playing in limited theaters but expands nationwide on July 29.
On the tail of Ghostbusters, another classic heads to the big screen next week. A new installment in the Star Trek series hits theaters on July 22 and the animated Ice Age: Collision Course also makes its debut next Friday.
