Live by Night – In 1920s Boston, Joe Coughlin (Ben Affleck) is a WWI vet and self-described anti-establishment outlaw. He’s also the son of a Boston Police Deputy Superintendent. When Joe crosses a powerful mob boss by stealing his money and his moll, he pays for it. The affair ends in tragedy and he sets out on a path of revenge and ambition that leads him out of Boston and up the ladder of Tampa’s rum-running underworld. As he navigates Prohibition-era Tampa, his moral code is tested and he learns that his desire to see justice served comes with a hefty price tag.

Sing – In a world populated by human-like animals, a koala named Buster Moon (voiced by Matthew McConaughey) runs a beloved, once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times. With the help of his sheep friend Eddie (John C. Reilly), Buster holds the world’s greatest singing competition to raise money to keep the theater from being shut down. A large number of singing hopefuls dream of winning, including unappreciated stay-at-home mother pig Rosita (Reese Witherspoon), a gorilla named Johnny (Taron Egerton) who doesn’t want to follow his father’s criminal footsteps, and a shy young elephant named Meena (Tori Kelly).

He is then forced to participate in the Animus Project and relive the memories of his ancestor Aguilar de Nerha in 15th century Spain. Through these memories, Callum discovers he’s a descendant of the secret Assassins society and gains incredible knowledge and skills that will help him confront the oppressive and powerful enemies of the Assassins — the Knights Templar organization of the present day.
