I just watched the trailer and it looks pretty good but as usual I am having a hard time with the dialect. I may have to wait till it comes out on DVD so I can turn on the subtitles. Now the irony of it is that I am usually the guy they call on to decipher the accents of foreign students when they cannot be understood. This talent, probably the result of being raised in a bilingual family, proves totally inadequate when trying to decipher dialects of my native tongue ... go figure ... ??? [:- \ ???.

I'm looking forward to seeing the arrival because I love sci fi films. The director also directed prisoners and sicaro which were great movies. And Amy Adams is in it. She's a good actress.
Girl on the train is another movie I look forward to seeing. I read the book which was fantastic.
Sully looks good too. Tom hanks movies are always good.
I couldn't wait for Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. Although the movie didn't follow the book exactly, I adore Tim Burton and will always trust his work.
I'm really excited for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them... that being said, I'm also really bummed these movies (JK has said there are going to be 5) are not based on books I grew up with the Harry Potter books and I absolutely loved them; the movies I wasn't as thrilled by. I really with JK Rowling had come out with another series of books, then adapted them to film so another generation of kids could have had the magical experience with reading that I had with the Harry Potter books.
I am way behind when it comes to movies.. can't ever seem to find the time to watch one. I know that some of these are not in theaters anymore but I wanna see:
Finding Dory
Madea's Halloween
Love & Friendship
Pete's Dragon
GhostBusters: Answer the Call

I'm looking forward to Captain Underpants! It was a series I loved as a kid, and I wish the movie could've come sooner, when I was a kid. Still looking forward to reliving parts of the series though!

I am looking forward to watch Harry Potter and The Cursed Chile and Fifty Shades Freed. I love both the series and I would love to watch their movie adaptations.
I just cant stop thinking of spiderman homecoming. This many versions of spiderman have different storylines and its just so awesome. Not forgetting Black Panther,Guardians of the Galaxy, the mummy, yeah im more of a sci-fi guy.
I'm now looking forward to Philip Pullman's His Dark Material adaptation
