John Wick and John Wick: Chapter 2 screen the same weekend that John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum opens in a special preview of our upcoming July series KEANU: THE WORKS.

With the untimely death of his beloved wife still bitter in his mouth, John Wick, the expert former assassin, receives one final gift from her–a precious keepsake to help John find a new meaning in life now that she is gone. But when the arrogant Russian mob prince, Iosef Tarasov, and his men pay Wick a rather unwelcome visit to rob him of his prized 1969 Mustang and his wife’s present, the legendary hitman will be forced to unearth his meticulously concealed identity. Blind with revenge, John will immediately unleash a carefully orchestrated maelstrom of destruction against the sophisticated kingpin, Viggo Tarasov, and his family, who are fully aware of his lethal capacity. Now, only blood can quench the boogeyman’s thirst for retribution.

Starring: Anne Hathaway, Rebel Wilson, Alex Sharp, Nicholas Woodeson

Rebel Wilson and Anne Hathaway have winning chemistry as a pair of con artists plying their trade in a stunning seaside town in the south of France. Josephine Chesterfield (Hathaway) is a glamorous, seductive Brit with a sprawling home in Beaumont-sur-Mer and a penchant for defrauding gullible wealthy men from all corners of the world. Into her well-ordered, meticulously moneyed world bursts Penny Rust (Wilson), an Aussie who is as free-form and fun-loving as Josephine is calculated and cunning. Where Penny amasses wads of cash by ripping off her marks in neighborhood bars, Josephine fills her safe with massive diamonds after ensnaring her prey in glitzy casinos. Despite their different methods, both are masters of the art of the fleece so they con the men that have wronged women. Wilson’s talent for physicality and Hathaway’s withering wit are a combustible combination as the pair of scammers pull out all the stops to swindle a naïve tech billionaire (Alex Sharp).

Starring: Taron Egerton, Jamie Bell, Richard Madden, Gemma Jones, Bryce Dallas Howard, Steven Mackintosh

Final Girls Berlin Film Festival showcases horror cinema that’s directed, written, or produced by women. We are committed to creating space for female voices and visions, whether monstrous or heroic, in the horror genre. We are lashing against the tokenization of women as objects and beautified victims, and are working towards the primacy of women as subjects in horror.

Starring: Eileen Brennan, Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, Martin Mull

Well someone’s got to break the ice, and it might as well be me. In Clue, a group of nefarious strangers meet up at a spooky mansion on a dark and stormy night. They’ve been invited to dinner to discuss a blackmail plot against them, and what they can do to put a stop to it. What’s on the menu? Monkey’s brains. What’s for dessert? MURDER.

A screwball murder mystery that fires one-liners like a machine gun, Clue sidesteps mystery in favor of mayhem as the houseful of suspects fall over each other to finger someone (anyone) for the evening’s ever-rising body count. The film’s three different endings calls back to its board game roots. Don’t like whodunnit? Shuffle the cards and play again.

Starring: Natasha Lyonne, Clea DuVall, Cathy Moriarty, Bud Cort, Eddie Cibrian, RuPaul

While there, Megan meets a rebellious and unashamed teen lesbian, Graham (Clea DuVall). Though Megan still feels confused, she starts to have feelings for Graham.
