'Road House'

In this remake of the 1989 action flick, former UFC middleweight fighter Elwood Dalton (Jake Gyllenhaal), haunted by his past, becomes head bouncer at a roadhouse in the Florida Keys. As he works to reform the establishment, he confronts local crime boss Ben Brandt, who wants to control the area for his own gain. Dalton's efforts to protect the community and those he cares about lead to escalating disputes, culminating in a violent showdown that forces him to confront his inner demons and fight for redemption.

'Brothers'

Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage star as twins (yes, twins!) Moke and Jady Munger, who grew up firmly entrenched in the criminal world. But 30 years later, the adult Moke is on the up and up trying to live an honest life with his pregnant wife. However, Jady has just been released from prison and is looking to take on a new heist. They agree to go on one last trip to pull it off, and it's just as zany as you can imagine.

'The Idea of You'

Solène Marchand (Anne Hathaway) is a 40-year-old divorced art gallery owner who accompanies her daughter to a music festival and unexpectedly embarks on a passionate affair with Hayes Campbell (Nicholas Galitzine), the charismatic lead singer of the popular boy band August Moon. Their relationship blossoms despite the age difference and becomes something much more serious than either of them could have planned in this ridiculously romantic affair that'll have you going through tissues like water.

'Música'

Rudy (Rudy Mancuso) is a young man with synesthesia, a condition where he perceives everyday sounds as a symphony in his mind. Struggling to balance his artistic pursuits like puppetry and music with his mother's expectations to embrace their Brazilian heritage in Newark, New Jersey, Rudy's life is often a solitary one. It then becomes more complicated when he meets and falls for Isabella (Camila Mendes), a fellow Brazilian American who understands his unique experiences. This magical movie is an inspiration as it explores what's in Ruby's mind while reconciling his everyday pursuits, and the romance is the cherry on top of the sundae.

When he mistakenly believes her to be an art director, Ana uses this misunderstanding to advance her career. But she ends up falling for him and has to find a way to extricate herself from the web of lies. Hey, no one has to be forthright when they're pretty people, right?
