Loveless is a film that, at the start, tells an intensely strong tale of a relationship’s break-up, and if, as a child, you’ve been through the same situation, it really resonates. What’s causing the split? Neither Zhenya (Maryana Spivak) nor Boris (Aleksey Rozin) is entirely blameless, but these two parents are so wrapped up in […]
The Defiant Ones does its best for race relations when the van containing a bunch of convicts, including John ‘Joker’ Jackson (Tony Curtis) and Noah Cullen (Sidney Poitier), crashes off road and the pair go on the run. Conflicting themes come up at that point, since not only does the crash involve a toy truck […]
Welcome To Curiosity centres around a serial killer on the loose called Lee Hunting. The cops are on the hunt, and, within 90 minutes, this will also take in four stories that cross over each other. The plot’s fairly standard stuff – good guys, bad guys, double-crossing, and a shoot-out where someone jumps over a […]
Onrush is a racer I looked at in its Beta form, a few weeks back, and now it’s here in all its glory, with several modes including Superstar, which is as close to a campaign mode as we’re going to get. All you need to know is that you’re on blue team, and you’re vs […]
Bobby Robson: More Than A Manager centres around the former England football manager, but while the film lasts 99 minutes, the late, great man says at the start, “I remember everything. How long have you got(?)” Beginning in 1995, he talks about gonig to see the doctor about his sinuses, but how this turned out […]
Nobody’s Fool centres around a woman who gets released from prison and reunites with her sister, who discovers she is in an online relationship with a man that may be “catfishing” her. Or is he genuine? Who cares since, sadly, this is yet another piece of junk from Tyler Perry, and another film with a black woman with an attitude. That trope has been so done to death.
In the mum role, Whoopi Goldberg clearly needs the money, these days.
Little Women 2018: Yes, Louise May Alcott‘s novel is back again on the big screen, and the excuse this time is that it’s 150th anniversary. The last time this graced our screens was in 1994 with Winona Ryder, so that was almost 125 years. It looks utterly puke-inducing.
This is a modern retelling, we’re told, as we follow the lives of four sisters – Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March – detailing their passage from childhood to womanhood. Despite harsh times, they cling to optimism, and as they mature, they face blossoming ambitions and relationships, as well as tragedy, while maintaining their unbreakable bond as sisters.
Unfriended: Dark Web is the sequel to 2015’s Unfriended, which I didn’t bother with, as it looked complete junk, and it tells the story about a teen who comes into possession of a new laptop, and finds that it may have been stolen. He discovers the previous owner may be watching every move he makes and will do anything to get it back.
Watching this trailer, it just looks like utter rubbish.
The Grinch is a forthcoming animation which comes from Illumination, the same studio as Despicable Me, The Secret Life of Pets and Sing, and centres around a grumpy Grinch who plots to ruin Christmas for the village of Whoville, the man himself voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch.
And now a second trailer has been released.
Check out the trailer below.
Searching is what David Kim (John Cho – Star Trek Beyond) does after his 16-year-old daughter goes missing, causing this desperate father to break into her laptop to look for clues to find her.
And now, a second trailer has been released.
Dumbo 2019 – Yes, it’s remake time! Again!
This time, it’s a live action version, and with Tim Burton in charge of the directing reins, he insisted that they actually train an elephant to fly!
You’re not aware of the original? Well, it’s about a young elephant, whose oversized ears enable him to fly, allowing him to help save a struggling circus. But when the circus plans a new venture, Dumbo and his friends discover dark secrets beneath its shiny veneer.
The Nun centres around a priest with a haunted past, as well as a novitiate on the threshold of her final vows, who are sent by the Vatican to investigate the death of a young nun in Romania and confront a malevolent force in the form of a demonic nun.
But… Annabelle was a prequel to The Conjuring, and The Nun is a prequel to both of them. And no doubt, we’ll get another sequel to a prequel.
London Fields is a weird title (but then it comes from a novel) and centres around clairvoyant femme fatale Nicola Six (Amber Heard) has been living with a dark premonition of her impending death by murder. She begins a tangled love affair with three uniquely different men: one of whom she knows will be her murderer.
Theo James plays a man called Guy Clinch. Guy Clinch? That sounds like what two men do together…
The Little Stranger tells the story of Dr. Faraday (Domhnall Gleeson – Ex Machina), the son of a housemaid, who has built a life of quiet respectability as a country doctor.
During the long hot summer of 1948, he is called to a patient at Hundreds Hall, where his mother once worked. The Hall has been home to the Ayres family for more than two centuries. But it is now in decline and its inhabitants – mother, son and daughter – are haunted by something more ominous than a dying way of life. When he takes on his new patient, Faraday has no idea how closely, and how disturbingly, the family’s story is about to become entwined with his own.
Creed II: Yes, here we go again. The first one wasn’t a patch on the Rocky movies, even Rocky V – although for me, that was better than Rocky Balboa!
Today, there’s a poster, below. Tomorrow comes the trailer, and the film is released towards the end of the year.
Sylvester Stallone continues to top up his pension, since the plot is again putting him tutoring the son of Apollo Creed, and who’s he going up against this time? Viktor Drago (Florian Munteanu), the son of Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren). Yes, we’re skipping straight from Rocky to Rocky IV.
