2013 James Mangold film about that old kanucklehead.
Here is your trailer:
Is the Wolverine the best at what he does in this movie? Well, let's talk about the set-up first. Logan saves a Japanese soldier's life in Nagasaki when the A-bomb drops. Years later Logan is living in the Alaskan wilderness, having taken a vow never to kill again. He is haunted by the ghost of Jean Grey. A Japanese woman finds him and tells him that the man he saved years ago is dying and wants to have a chance to say goodbye. Off to Japan we go!

An Old Friend That Never Loses Its Edge - Oldboy
I recently got a chance to re-watch what is quite possibly my favorite movie of all time. Oldboy, the 2003 film by Park Chan-wook.
The trailer:
Oh Dae-su is a husband and a father, but he has made bad choices and he is a drunk. One night, on his daughter's birthday, he is kidnapped. He is held in a hotel room that has been converted into a prison cell. 15 years pass, with only a TV to keep him company, and no word on why this has been done to him. He attempts suicide several times. He jerks off to lady pop stars in music videos. He learns about the world. They give him the same food every day. He trains his body by punching a wall. Then one day he is set free. He is given a cell phone and a wallet full of money, and he is told he has 5 days to find out who is responsible for his imprisonment and why. Revenge ensues.

Like Butter
Sorry for the long delay, but I'm back. 2011 film by Jim Field Smith.
Trailer time:
Yes, butter sculpting. Is this a real thing? A young black girl in foster care is interested in trying this thing. Ty Burrell is the undisputed king. He is told it is time to step down. His wife, played by Jennifer Garner, has delusions of his fame transitioning them into a political bid. She doesn't like the idea of him moving into a judging position. They have an argument and he sleeps with a stripper. Garner decides that she is going to compete so that the fame stays in her family.
