Collide: Appears to be a mixture of ‘Gone in 60 Seconds’ and ‘Transporter’, ‘Collide’ stars Nick Hoult, Felicity Jones, Ben Kingsley and Anthony Hopkins. The latter two Oscar winners seem to be entirely wasted in this movie and that much is visible just through the trailer. The story follows the turmoil of one couple after they are separated with one of them held hostage and the other being blackmailed, it is an action thriller, involving fast cars, gunshots and love. Although it seems that after his success as Hannibal Lecter, all of Hopkins subsequent roles require his voice be similarly cold and raspy. However, despite better judgment, seeing Ben Kingsley and Anthony Hopkins together on screen can’t be missed. ‘Collide’ will be released in Pakistani cinemas on March, 3.

Guardians: During the Cold War, the Soviet Union had an organisation by the name of ‘Patriot’ and it is basically the Russian version of ‘The Avengers.

To do this he goes on a journey of self-improvement to become worthy of this woman, but of course there are troubles ahead and life is not as flowery and flashy as it seems in the title song.

Kong: Skull Island: There has been a plethora of reasons as to why KingKong has not been done justice, from technology not being up to par to directors lacking the acumen, but seeing the trailer of ‘Kong: Skull Island’, it’s safe to say that director Jordan Vogt-Roberts and a budget of $190 million have aimed to guarantee otherwise. The story follows American scientists dropping bombs on a mysterious island to map out its exact parameters when Kong decides to fight back, and protect his island. After crash landing, they come to discover that Kong, the Godzilla sized gorilla, is the benevolent dictator of the island, protecting its people and things from much darker forces.

Raasta: A Pakistani film directed, produced by and starring Sahir Lodhi, the trailer for ‘Raasta’ confirms that it will be every bit as self-aggrandising as one could possibly imagine. Riddled with clichés and awkwardly plastic acting, this will be one of those movies that you could go see if you’re feeling particularly masochistic or loyal to Lodhi. Releasing on the 23^rd of March all over Pakistan.

Power Rangers: Everyone born in the ’80s has been waiting for this movie with skepticism and delight in equal measure.
