Emma Watson, best known for her role in the highly successful film franchise “Harry Potter” playing Hermione Granger expands her range as an actress as she stars her most challenging role to-date in the psychological thriller “Regression” along with Ethan Hawke and “Harry Potter” alumnus David Thewlis helmed by Academy Award Winner director Alejandro AmenĂ¡bar (“The Sea Inside”).

Four-time Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper once again displays his acting chops in this year’s mouth-watering and delectable movie “Burnt” where he stars as Chef Adam Jones who was once a rock star chef, had it all yet lost it along the way. Awarded as a two-star Michelin talent with bad habits to match, the former enfant terrible of the Paris restaurant scene did everything different every time out, and only ever cared about the thrill of creating explosions of taste. To land his own kitchen and that third elusive Michelin star though, he’ll need the best of the best on his side, including the beautiful Helene (Sienna Miller).
In “Burnt,” a remarkably funny and emotional story about the love of food, the love between two people and the power of second chances, Jones moved to Paris at an early age of 16 and learned how to cook. His natural flair for cooking led his career on a sizzling journey but lost it all because of his inability to deal with fame and success. He soon rebuilds his life back and moves to London to restore his reputation and finally earn again the most coveted Michelin stars.
Keanu Reeves stars in his latest sexy thrilling starrer in “Knock Knock” as a blissfully married man with two children who was lured by two very attractive women (played by Lorenza Izzo and Ana de Armas) when they came knocking at his door when he was left alone at home.
Directed and written by Eli Roth known for his critically acclaimed and phenomenal works in thriller and horror genre such as “Cabin Fever” that went on to be Lionsgate’s highest grossing film on the year that it was released and the worldwide hit “Hostel,” “Knock Knock” is an erotic thriller that toys on the idea of trouble coming into one’s own home and unleashes Pandora’s box.
Heinous crimes traverse the jagged line of the U.S. and Mexican border in an alarmingly escalating tempo that the intense thrilling action “Sicario” (meaning hitman) deals with, starring an impressive roster of actors including Benicio Del Toro, Emily Blunt and Josh Brolin.
At a time when the world is awash with the most pressing questions on drugs, terror, illegal immigration and corruption that has left people on both sides frightened and vigilant, “Sicario” explores the journey of an intelligence operation that pushes the rules to engage with those who don’t play by any.

Golden Globe winner and Academy Award nominee Jessica Chastain, who’s also considered as one of the most sought after actresses of her generation who gave memorable portrayals in groundbreaking movies such as “Interstellar,” “Zero Dark 30” and “Tree of Life” stars in Ridley Scott’s space adventure “The Martian” with Matt Damon, Kate Mara, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Peña, Sebasyian Stan, Aksel Hennie, Kirsten Wiig, Jeff Daniels and Sean Bean.
Based on the highly successful book by Andy Weir, “The Martian” tells of the gripping story of botanist Mark Watney, played by Damon in the film. Watney is one of the six-man crew of the Ares 3, an exploratory fact finding mission to Mars that goes radically wrong when the astronauts are caught in the middle of a ferociously violent sandstorm. As the crew scramble to get back on board their ship, Watney is speared by an antenna - leaving him injured and destroying his space suit’s bio monitors in the process.
“Regression,” which means an act of going back stars Ethan Hawke and Emma Watson at the backdrop of Minnesota, 1990. The film follows detective Bruce Kenner (Hawke) investigating the case of young Angela (Watson), who accuses her father, John Gray (David Dencik), of an unspeakable crime. When John unexpectedly and without recollection admits guilt, renowned psychologist Dr. Raines (David Thewlis) is brought in to help him relive his memories and what they discover unmasks a horrifying nationwide mystery.
Director Alejandro AmenĂ¡bar returns to the big screen with “Regression,” which represents a return to suspense, the genre of his feature film debut in 1996 (“Thesis”). Inspired by a wave of events that occurred in the United States during the eighties, the film is both “a reflection on evil and an exploration of the shortcuts of the mind,” says producer Fernando Bovaira. The initial accusations that served as documentation for the writing of the screenplay arose within the context of growing political and religious power inside the United States, and later spread to the rest of the world with unequal intensity, even reaching the point where it was classified as a global conspiracy, and not only by the most sensationalistic sources.
The action adventure “The Last Witch Hunter” starring “Fast and the Furious’” Vin Diesel takes on the legendary titular character of Kaulder, a guardian for an endless age, is all that stands between humanity and the combined forces of the most horrifying witches in history.

Kakai Bautista impersonated the Comedy Concert Queen Ai-Ai De Las Alas during the second week of "Your Face Sounds Familiar" season 2.
Her face, however, looked more like Cherry Lou (Chef Sheila of "Pangako Sa 'Yo") and her voice didn't sound like Ai-Ai.
Image: Instagram (yourfaceph)
Judge Sharon Cuneta noticed that Kakai did a lot of adlibs, which Ai-Ai, according to her, doesn't do a lot of when she's singing.
KZ Tandingan impersonated American singer Pink for her second week performance in "Your Face Sounds Familiar" season 2.
While her face looks more like the artist she's impersonating (unlike in the first week when she impersonated Vina Morales), you can still tell that it's KZ singing despite her efforts to sound like Pink.
Image: Instagram (yourfaceph)
Judge Sharon Cuneta told KZ that she "did a pretty good job" and described the performance as "fierce" but she wanted to see more angst.
After the judges voted and the celebrity performers gave out their individual 3 points to the one that they think gave the best performance, Sam Concepcion was named the Week 2 winner of "Your Face Sounds Familiar" season 2.
Image: Instagram (yourfaceph)

Sam Concepcion impersonated Jason Derulo for the second week of "Your Face Sounds Familiar" season 2, singing the hit song "Talk Dirty."
His prosthetic was good as you could really recognize the American artist by looking at him on television. He also sounded a lot like Jason that you wouldn't hear "Sam" during his performance.
Image: Instagram (yourfaceph)
Judges Sharon Cuneta and Jed Madela were all praises for Sam. Sharon even called his performance "perfect" and "flawless," and Jed said, "You're the man!"

She really has no problems exuding the OPM icon's sexiness because she has the body to flaunt.
Image: Instagram (yourfaceph)
The problem, however, was with the prosthetics, and Myrtle was not the one to blame for that part.
Kean Cipriano nailed his impersonation of Randy Santiago during the second week of "Your Face Sounds Familiar" season 2.
