Oscar Isaac shines in 'The Card Counter,' 'The Addams Family 2,' 'Dune,' and HBO’s 'Scenes from a Marriage,' known for a standout scene. Explore his diverse career highlights.
But when all is said and done, "X-Men: Apocalypse" with its balance of lighter and darker tones is a thoroughly entertaining movie. It might not be as ground-breaking as the franchise's first entries or as engrossing as its immediate predessor "X-Men: Days of Future Past" but it certainly tops most of the other fanfare in the superhero genre hitting theaters today. The visual effects, while gratuitous at times, are still solid through and through and the cast delivers some of the finest performances you can expect in this kind of film.
The Golden Globes offered a number of surprises but also showed a lot of love for Latin actors and directors as three Latinos went on to win Globes.

Guatemalan-born actor Oscar Isaac is one of the most biggest rising stars of modern time and he is slated to star in "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens." The actor has been very outspoken when asked about the big project and recently address the growing speculation and rumors circulating around the project.
More than a cautionary tale, "A Most Violent Year" almost condemns the impossibility of ideals such as the heroic American Dream. While the film shows that this dream is attainable, it lambasts any notion that it can be achieved without making certain concessions. And this is where this film, which takes many cues from Francis Ford Coppolla's great "Godfather" films, connects itself most fully with those two great films. To fulfill the American Dream, compromises must be made. And these aren't always the ones we feel most comfortable making.
