Wes Anderson’s latest film, Asteroid City, stars many of Anderson’s go-to collaborators: Jason Schwartzman, Edward Norton, and Adrien Brody to name just a few, and is the story of a group of adults and children who have gathered in the desert for a Junior Stargazer convention. While they’re there, they experience a strange, otherworldly situation which changes the course of events for them all. Of all the many cameos and celebrities in the film, keep an out of for Jeff Goldblum, whose character steals the show.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is the seventh Transformers film (where does the time go?), and this one stars Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback as Noah Diaz and Elena Wallace, two humans who find themselves inadvertently involved in a battle between two warring groups of Transformers who have come to Earth in search of key that can open portals through space and time. Actors who are lending their voices to the Transformers include Pete Davidson, Peter Dinklage, Ron Perlman and Peter Cullen, who has voiced Optimus Prime in both the 1980s cartoons as well as the film franchise.
