Revolving in many ways around the fracturing relationship between Dumbledore (Jude Law) and Grindenwald (Mads Mikkelsen), Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore follows Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) and his allies, who accept Albus' mission to deal with the threat of Grindenwald's rising power. The visually resplendent tale, written by J.K. Rowling and Steve Kloves, looks stunning.
New Release
The lovable little blue guy streaks back into action in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Sonic (Ben Schwartz) joins with new pal Tails (Colleen O'Shaughnessey) to confront the evil Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey), who has joined forces with the defiant Knuckles (Idris Elba) to pose a greater threat to mankind than ever.
