Entertainment Desk :Independence Day 2There has been a decent amount of movement on the announced sequel to Independence Day, from the sci-fi film landing a release date to director Roland Emmerich confirming various casting moves. Setting the sequel 20 years after the initial events of the 1996 blockbuster also helps explain why certain cast members like Will Smith have chosen not to return for further alien adventures. Original Independence Day stars Bill Pullman and Jeff Goldblum are returning, and that they will be joined by Liam Hemsworth and Jessie Usher, who reportedly will be playing Hiller’s step-son in the film. Plot of the film is Set 20 years after the original, this sequel sees the nations of Earth use the alien technology to develop an advanced defense system for the planet. But nothing can prepare them for an unprecedented force of alien attackers out for revenge. It’s up to a few brave men and women to save the world from extraterrestrials once more. Releasing on June 24.Now You See Me 2Sleight of hand is the name of the game in Now You See Me 2 – not just for the renegade magician characters, but for the filmmakers. With the glossy capers of the first movie to live up to, the plot rides a surging tide of ridiculousness and culminates in a pileup of unconvincing explanations. As practitioners of prestidigitation take on the wielders of malevolent corporate power, anyone tempted to give the story’s flashy twists much thought should have some aspirin handy. By the time the story’s final revelation has been pulled out of the hat, the only thing that’s certain is the eventual materialisation of Now You See Me 3. Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Daniel Radcliffe, Lizzy Caplan, Jay Chou, Sanaa Lathan, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, David Warshofsky, Tsai Chin are in the movie directed by Jon M. Chu. And this movie is also releasing today.Conjuring 2You probably need a double dose of courage to watch this one. It is pretty obvious that a lot of viewers would chicken out after watching just the trailer! Ed and Lorraine Warren are back, and this time, they’re in England doing what they do best, hunting out evil spirits! Releasing today. It’s the same old blather about things that go bump in the night. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are back as real-life paranormal investigators Ed Warren and his clairvoyant wife, Lorraine. This time they’re working the British equivalent of the Amityville horror case that made global headlines in 1970. Seven years later, single mom Peggy Hodgson (Frances O’Connor) and her four kids, especially 11-year-old Janet (a terrific Madison Wolfe), find their ramshackle North London home bedeviled by demons. (The one that looks like a cadaverous nun with hollowed-out eyes is a doozy.)Central IntelligenceJohnson and Kevin Hart are here to save America. High school is a tough time for anyone, even Dwayne Johnson. In the new trailer for Central Intelligence, we see The Rock as a young and vulnerable, En Vogue-loving teen, who, thanks to a can-do attitude and six-hour daily workout regimen, later grows up to be “Jason Bourne in jorts.”Kevin Hart co-stars as Johnson’s compassionate former high school classmate who grows up to be an accountant, and does not have a six-hour daily workout regimen.Much like 10th grade science lab partners, the two must work together in order to get back encryption keys to a U.S. spy satellite program. Central Intelligence hits theaters on June 17.
