Army of the Dead
The Sully Brothers clash over the latest Zack Snyder zombie installment. Does this Vegas romp hit big, or did Snyder lose his shirt?

Coming 2 America

Outside the Wire
Decent action with a nice futuristic take, but is immediately forgettable.
The Midnight Sky

Overview
Shot in France, England, Switzerland and the United States, this documentary covers director Alejandro Jodorowsky (El Topo, Holy Mountain, Santa Sangre) and his 1974 Quixotic attempt to adapt the seminal sci-fi novel Dune into a feature film. After spending 2 years and millions of dollars, the massive undertaking eventually fell apart, but the artists Jodorowsky assembled for the legendary project continued to work together. This group of artists, or his “warriors” as Jodorowsky named them, went on to define modern sci-fi cinema with such films as Alien, Blade Runner, Star Wars and Total Recall.
