The Wolverine

Logan (Hugh Jackman), the century-old mutant known to the world as Wolverine, is lured to Japan, which he hasn’t seen since World War II – and into a shadowy realm of Yakuza and Samurai.

Suddenly finding himself on the run with a mysterious, beautiful heiress and confronted for the first time with the prospect of true mortality, Logan will be pushed to the physical and emotional edge.

On a perilous journey to rediscover the hero inside, Logan will be forced to grapple not only with powerful foes, mutant and human alike, but with the ghosts of his own haunted past, as well.

As The Wolverine crosses his adamantium claws with Samurai swords, striking out through a maze of love, betrayal and honour, he will truly come to know the price of a life without end.

Peeples

Peeples focuses on that dreaded, anxiety-filled rite of passage that just about anyone in a long-term relationship has to face: winning over the in-laws.

Wade Walker and Grace Peeples are a happily co-habitating couple who are deeply in love, except for one catch: after one year together, Grace still hasn’t introduced Wade to her discerning, upper-crust family.

Taking matters into his own hands, Wade decides to crash Grace’s family reunion. But his master plan to charm the Peeples and propose to Grace goes off the rails when he finds himself surrounded by a clan of dysfunctional over-achievers who will do anything to keep up appearances.

The film stars Craig Robinson, Kerry Washington, David Alan Grier and S Epatha Merkerson.
