“The White Crow” Movie Clips & Poster

based on a book, biography, drama

Directed by Ralph Fiennes, The White Crow follows the life of Soviet ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev, played by Oleg Ivenko, and his defection to the Western world in 1961. The story is told in flashbacks with distinguishable ballet scenes.

Ralph Fiennes also stars in the movie as Pushkin. The movie is based on the book by
Julie Kavanagh called Rudolf Nureyev: The Life and the screenplay by David Hare. Hare wrote the screenplays for The Hours and The Reader, which Fiennes starred in the latter.

The three movie clips show scenes from the movie but the movie trailer is not available yet. It is hard to tell what is happening in the clips. I am guessing, Nureyev is not happy, and he defects from Russia. Pushkin is a prominent male ballet teacher, and Nureyev and him do not get along.

Colorful and Cute “My Spy” Trailer & Posters

action, children movies, comedy, family movies, kid movies

Directed by Peter Segal with the screenplay by Jon and Erich Hoeber, My Spy introduces us to JJ, a hardened CIA operative, played by Dave Bautista. Recently demoted, he finds himself at the mercy of an exceptionally smart 9-year-old girl, named Sophie played by Chloe Coleman.

Working undercover and assigned to surveil Sophie’s family undercover, he wishes he did not have to do this job. She discovers his hidden cameras in their apartment and uses her sharp technical skills to locate where the surveillance operation originates.

Caught in the act and in exchange for not blowing JJ’s cover, Sophie connives him to spend time with her and teach her to be a spy. Despite his reluctance, JJ finds he is no match for Sophie’s unforgiving charm and wit.

Here is the new poster. It is not that much different from the earlier except for the “Amazon Original” at the top.

I was skeptical about this movie but then saw the trailer. It looks funny, and kids will laugh and be entertained.

The movie has ended up at Amazon, where it streams for Prime members and non-members. The new trailer below adds the Amazon titling to make it official.

Watching the trailer is so funny. I bellied laughed and laughed. The cast must have had a great time filming this movie. It’s hilarious.
