From action-thrillers to rom-coms, there are so many new movies that'll make you want to crank up that air conditioning, stay in and host a big movie night.

To begin with, Mother is all set to hit your screens very soon.

So, if you were a fan of the first movie, where Chris Hemsworth attempts to save the son of an imprisoned crime lord — get ready for round two. This time around, the black ops mercenary is tasked with breaking the family of a Georgian gangster out of prison.
