Directed by Julia Hart, Fast Color follows a young black woman, played by Gugu Mbatha-Raw, who is hunted by mysterious forces. Because she has supernatural abilities, she must go on the run when her powers are discovered.
She has nowhere else to go but flees back to her family and the farmhouse she abandoned long ago. A local Sheriff, played by David Strathairn, pursues her. She mends the broken relationships with her mother, played by Lorraine Toussaint, and daughter, played by Saniyya Sidney. It looks like her daughter has superpowers as well.
During this story, the black woman learns that her needed power is always inside her. The movie trailer shows a unique tale. I just hope the third act is worth it.
The following movie clips offer very little about the story. If it is just about the mother coming to terms with her daughter, who has the same ability, then the movie is slow. I hope there is an intense conflict with the local sheriff trying to catch her. If not, then the story is weak.
Three more movie clips were released, showing the movie’s storyline, relationships, and plot points.
Directed by F. Gary Gray, Men In Black: International follows an upstart known as Agent M, played by Tessa Thompson. She joins the group and partners with Agent H, played by Chris Hemsworth. MIB has always protected the Earth from the scum of the universe.
However, in this new adventure, they tackle their biggest global threat to date: a mole in the Men in Black organization.
The movie also stars two stellar actors, Emma Thompson and Liam Neeson. Hemsworth looks yummy.
The third trailer tells us the whole story and what the CGI includes, with Thompson’s character stating at the beginning of the trailer, “We are a rumor.” It looks like a no-brainer and popcorn entertainment.
Chad Stahelski directs Keanu Reeves as John Wick. They return in this third installment – Parabellum – of the non-stop action franchise about the super-assassin Wick. He’s Skyhook with a $14 million price tag on his head and an army of bounty-hunting killers on his heels. The movie trailer shows you precisely what is happening in the movie – just like the other two, but even more. It’s playing on Amazon.
After killing a member of the shadowy international assassin’s guild, the High Table, Wick is excommunicado, but the world’s most ruthless hit men and women await his every turn. The cast, including Halle Berry, Laurence Fishburne, Anjelica Huston, and Ian McShane, are extraordinary. I am so excited to see Huston in a movie.
The Taxi clip is a bit odd, and I am not sure what it promotes to the fans of this franchise. Like the trailer, we see a lot of rain in New York City.
The next poster is colorful in an ironic way – too carefree and effervescent. It looks like he is in the tropics when most of the footage I’ve seen is in New York City.
The featurette explains the story to us. I like it. Anjelica Houston is seen briefly, but I love that she is in the movie. I hope her part is more extensive than what appears in the featurette.
Keanu Reeves is hyped about the third installment of the unique action movie. In this interview, he is obviously passionate about his character, the director, the style, and the story.
I chose Mark Dacascos and Asia Kate Dillon’s joint interview because they share Reeves’ working style with the cast and crew. They describe the story so well; it is eight minutes long with so much information in general.
The next featurette shows some astounding moves with the motorcycle chase. Seeing Reeves get so excited about a scene in his movie is fantastic.
Film legend Anjelica Huston is on the red carpet at the movie premiere. She talks about her character and the culture of the movie.
The featurette shows Reeves and Berry training for the movie. Watching the footage, they got a great workout and had so much fun.
Directed by Neil Marshall and based on the graphic novels by Mike Mignola, Hellboy follows the iconic character as he gets caught between the worlds of the supernatural and human. Played by Stranger Things David Harbour, he battles an ancient sorceress bent on revenge.
Marshall’s directing credits include episodic shows like Lost in Space and Westworld. He’s also directed features, including Dog Soldiers and Doomsday.
Harbour is fantastic and so believable as Hellboy. Delivering his lines straightforwardly with a touch of irony makes each scene in the trailer fun to watch. The song in the trailer brings us a whole new level of entertainment.
The rest of the cast includes Milla Jovovich and Sasha Lane. Jovovich is familiar with this genre and adds credibility to the storyline. Jovovich is known for her dynamic work in the Resident Evil franchise.
I am not planning on seeing this movie because it is not my genre. The trailers look fantastic, and Harbour is impressive. He is so right for Hellboy. I am excited for him.
The movie clip shows how tongue-in-cheek the story moves along through archetype villains. Hellboy is not serious, but it’s all for fun.
The featurette shows how the movie follows one of Hellboy’s comic book stories, comparing some movie images with the comic book drawings.
The movie clip shows some impressive CGI effects. Then we see the more we know, and the movie follows the comic book.
I picked three interviews that offer insight into what the newest version of Hellboy will bring us in the movie theaters and the box office. First, we have Daniel Dae Kim as “Major Ben Daimio,” listening to Kim talk about his character is surreal. He is so in tune with Daimio that it goes to another dimension.
The second interview is with Milla Jovovich, known as “Nimue and The Blood Queen.” She explains the story in the movie. She has Hellboy dialed. Her Beastie Boys t-shirt adds a lot to the interview, as well. This lady is a stick of dynamite, continually blowing up with excellent and refreshing energy.

Finally, David Harbour, as the “Hellboy” interview, is terrific. Ian Shane, who plays his adopted father, says in an interview he’s seen Harbour on Broadway. I can’t believe this guy’s been on Broadway. I thought Stranger Things was his only avenue other than Hellboy. No wonder he is so talented. I admired his remarkable work in the first season of the Netflix series Stranger Things.
Co-directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, not much is released about the next Avenger movie called Avengers: Endgame. People are watching the trailer and speculating based on what they see.
The Blu-ray/DVD and streaming is available, so now is the time to see the movie again. If you are one of the few people who haven’t see the movie yet, now you can in the comfort of your home.
I am guessing that half of the Avengers who are thought to be destroyers are not, and there is a rescue attempt.
Christopher Markus and Stephan Feeley are the screenwriters. Both are familiar writing about Marvel heroes, and both were part of the screenwriting team of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Some of the cast is seen in the trailer, and some are listed on IMDB. Those listed include Karen Gillan, Bradley Cooper, and Brie Larson.
Our superheroes are angst and looking to kick some super-intergalactic booty. They are bent on revenge for the deaths of their superhero buddies.
The featurette does say much about the movie but clicks on the press conference video at the end of the featurette. It will lead you to three more parts to the press conference. It’s great to hear what the actors have to say about being in this Marvel franchise.
It looks like Captain Marvel is going to save the day.
Directed by Brian A. Miller, writing about movies with a low-budget and former box office draw actors is an interesting proposition. Sylvester Stallone and Matthew Modine are legends in their own right. Yet, I ponder the worth of producing a movie that, most likely will go straight to On Demand, Blu-ray, and DVD.
Backtrace follows MacDonald, played by Modine, after suffering a brain injury from a bank heist gone wrong. He develops amnesia and is put into a prison psychiatric ward, any psychiatric ward needs to be closed down, The system doesn’t work.
Following his seventh year in an evaluation, he is coerced by an inmate, played by Ryan Guzman, and a doctor, played by Meadow Williams, to break out of prison. After breaking out they coerce him into taking an injection of serum that forces him to relive the life he’s forgotten.
MacDonald must now elude a local detective, played by Sylvester Stallone, a toughened FBI agent, played by Christopher McDonald, and the drug’s dangerous side effects in order to recover the stolen money all while confronting his past.
Modine is best known for the current Netflix hit – Stranger Things. Stallone is making a name for himself in the Creed movies.
Directed by Kenneth Branagh, Artemis Fowl is based on a popular book series by Eoin Colfer. It appears all the actors in the movie are from the UK.
Ferdia Shaw plays Artemis Fowl II, a young Irish criminal mastermind who kidnaps the fairy LEPrecon officer Holly Short, played by Lara McDonnell, for ransom to fund the search for his missing father.
Michael Goldenberg, Adam Kline, and Conor McPherson scripted the fantasy, action, and adventure movie. Goldenberg’s credits include Peter Pan, a great movie and a secret gem, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and Contact.
Shaw is a newcomer, but McDonnell has starred in other movies. The movie also stars Judy Dench, Miranda Raison, and Hong Chau.
The following trailer shows a lot more about the movie. If you read the books, hopefully, the story stays the same as much as possible.
It is not your typical kid story; the featurette explains how it came to the movie screen.
Inspired by the animated short film Pigeon: Impossible by Lucas Martell and directed by Troy Quane and Nick Bruno, super spy Lance Sterling, played by Will Smith, and scientist Walter Beckett, played by Tom Holland, are almost exact opposites. Lance is smooth, suave and debonair. Walter is… not.
But what Walter lacks in social skills he makes up for in smarts and invention, creating the awesome gadgets Lance uses on his epic missions.
But when events take an unexpected turn, Walter and Lance suddenly have to rely on each other in a whole new way because Walter turned Lance into a pigeon.
And if this odd couple can’t learn to work as a team, the whole world is in peril. Kids and parents are going to appreciate the animated comedy with a unique situation. After all, pigeons deserve some respect.
Will Smith as a pigeon is cool.
The second trailer took some time to get released. It explains more of the story and looks like a lot of fun for the kids.
The third trailer is funny and tells us what happens in the movie. It is designed to entertain and be silly.
The fourth trailer looks pretty good, though it’s hard to tell if he is a pigeon the whole time or turns back and forth from pigeon to man’s body.
Directed by Hans Petter Moland, Cold Pursuit follows a snowplow driver, played by Liam Neeson. He seeks revenge against drug dealers because they killed his son.
The movie is based on the 2014 Norwegian film In Order of Disappearance, which Moland also directed. Stellan Skarsgard of the Mamma Mia franchise played Neeson’s role.
The screenplay is by Frank Baldwin. His screenwriting credits are limited, but he scripted a movie that is in pre-production called The Godmother.
The Cold Pursuit also stars Laura Dern, Emmy Rossum, and Tom Bateman.
The trailer tells the story, and the music is upbeat and adds irony to the situation.
The clip “Things We Do” shows the underlying humor of the story. Neeson is in dark colors and a parka, while the other guy is in shorts and light colors. The serene snow-covered mountains in the background for the master shot are incongruous with the tension of Neeson’s character.
The Blu-ray/DVD and streaming of the movie is not happening. The trailer is fun and shows how the film is a comedy. The serious side is losing a son, but his father gets revenge.
Getting revenge is when the movie gets funny. Watch the trailer and see for yourself. It’s funny.
Written and directed by Joe Cornish, The Kid Who Would Be King inspires traditional stories about magic. Though the story is relatively modern, it mixes ancient magic with an epic adventure. Alex, played by Louis Ashbourne Serkis, is an unlikely hero and believes he is just another nobody.
Until he stumbles upon the mythical Sword in the Stone, Excalibur, the story takes off because, now, he must unite his friends and enemies into a band of knights. Together, they join the legendary wizard Merlin, played by Patrick Stewart, and take on the wicked enchantress Morgana, played by Rebecca Ferguson.
The future is in peril, and Alex needs to become a great leader. He never dreamed it possible, but he might pull it off.
Cornish wrote the screenplay for Spielberg’s TinTin and penned Ant-Man and some episodic TV shows. He’s even directed some episodes of The Adam and Joe Show.
The rest of the cast includes Dean Chaumoo, Tom Taylor, Rhianna Dorris, and Angus Imrie.
It’s such a fun movie for the whole family to watch, and kids will watch it repeatedly. The proof is in the movie trailer.
The second trailer shows more of the story, and I am interested in seeing the movie now. Kids will love the story, and parents can feel safe letting them watch it on their own. I like the themes of taking care of your friends, responsibility and confronting problems. Patrick Steward is in this trailer and you might not be surprised to find out who he portrays.
The two movie clips, which I was only able to see, show scenes from the trailer, which explain what the kids are doing in the scenes. The movie seems a bit corny, but it looks like something the whole family can enjoy.
