Tag

Starring Ed Helms, Jon Hamm, Hannibal Burress, Isla Fisher and Jeremy Renner, the movie is full of very funny actors and one social media that has been dying to watch.

However, when the dormant volcano roars to life and threatens their existence, Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) decide to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from extinction-level, including Owen’s raptor, Blue. However, as everything that happens in the Jurassic World, things don’t go as planned and threatens human life as we know it.

Sicario: Day of the Soldado

Devising a ruthless plan to inflame the conflict, Alejandro kidnaps the kingpin’s daughter, but realizes she is nothing more than collateral damage and her fate is in the hands of the two men who suddenly question what it is they’re exactly fighting for.
