XXX – Return of Xander Cage
Triple X is back. Triple X is back. Triple X is back. Had to say it thrice, because, well Triple X. Anyways, the xXx franchise which began with the 2002 film that had Vin Diesel playing the role of Xander Cage – a thrill seeking extreme sports enthusiast, stuntman and rebellious athlete-turned-reluctant spy for the National Security Agency was followed by a sequel where Ice Cube replaced Diesel as Triple X. Even though the film wasn’t very successful at the Box Office, The 2017 Return of Xander Cage has everyone excited. The ensemble cast, including Donnie Yen, Samuel L. Jackson, Ruby Rose, Kris Wu, and Neymar Jr (yes, the footballer) makes the 20th of January (same day Donald Trump becomes POTUS) a day everyone is looking forward to.

Gothic Castle, talking pots, candles, cups and all the magic in it makes this epic love story a must-watch for everyone. Save the date – March 17, 2017
