Vacation

Eager to strengthen his family's frayed relationships, a grown-up Rusty Griswold (Helms) announces that he's taking his wife, Debbie (Applegate), and sons, James (Gisondo) and Kevin (Stebbins), on a cross-country road trip to Walley World, the theme park where Rusty had his own memorable childhood vacation with his family. The trip is far from uneventful, though, with sibling rivalries, revelations from the past and troublesome run-ins all conspiring to make this vacation just as disastrous -- and just as memorable -- as the one that Rusty remembers from so long ago.

Directors: John Francis Daley, Jonathan M. Goldstein. Stars: Ed Helms, Christina Applegate, Skylar Gisondo, Steele Stebbins, Chris Hemsworth. 2015. 99 min. Comedy.

 

Inside Out

Set almost entirely inside a young girl's mind, Pixar's latest animated feature brings a child's emotions to life. Riley (Dias) is a happy little girl with five main emotions living in her head: Joy (Poehler), Sadness (Smith), Fear (Hader), Anger (Black) and Disgust (Kaling). Joy is the dominant one of the group, but when Riley and her parents move to a new city, her emotions are thrown into disarray. When Sadness causes Riley to cry in front of her new schoolmates, she and Joy set off a disastrous chain reaction in Riley's memories and end up lost deep in the little girl's mind. As the other three emotions desperately try to keep Riley's emotions in balance, two opposites struggle to find their way back to her conscious mind.

Director: Pete Docter. Stars: Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Bill Hader, Lewis Black, Mindy Kaling, Kaitlyn Dias, Richard Kind. 2015. 94 min. Adventure.

 

The End of the Tour

Over the course of several days, Wallace opens up about his life, and the two end up becoming lifelong acquaintances.

Director: James Ponsoldt. Stars: Jesse Eisenberg, Jason Segel, Anna Chlumsky, Joan Cusack, Ron Livingston. 2015. 106 min. Drama.
