His latest offering is a thriller, THE GIFT in which he explores a very creepy tale of when your past comes back to haunt you.

One day in the near future Jake Gyllenhaal will have to make some room at his home for an Academy Award. After seeing his last few performances and knowing the discipline and devotion he's put into his roles, I am convinced that he is on his way to becoming an Oscar winner. Last year we saw him in Nightcrawler as a psychotic ambulance chasing cameraman and now he takes the punches in Southpaw as a prizefighting boxer who loses everything and rises from his deepest despair to live life to the fullest once again. 

Sandra Bullock is tired of always being  thought of as sweet and nice. As a matter of fact, she can be an outright bitch (her words, not mine) and she proves it with her latest role in, Minions. She voices the villain Scarlet Overkill in the film spun off from the Despicable Me franchise.  This is the also the first time Bullock has provided a voice for an animated movie, an experience she says that took a little getting used to. 

After seven seasons of playing the affable sweater wearing teacher Mr, Schue on the hit TV series Glee, Matthew Morrison knew it was time to get back to his roots. The veteran Broadway performer leaped at the chance to play J.M. Barrie  in the Tony nominated Musical, Finding Neverland based on the movie of the same name which starred Johnny Depp.  

Despite the massive success of the animated hits Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2, directors Kyle Balda and Pierre Coffin did not immediately jump at making a movie about the Minions.  It took some convincing and the realization that the Minions  were stars in their own right for the directors to reunite to make a film about the genesis of those lovable gibberish-speaking yellow guys. The animated film follows the little yellow organisms as they set out to find a new super-villain to worship, eventually discovering Scarlet Overkill (voiced by Sandra Bullock).
