This storyline is nothing new and sounds a bit like Transformers, so I suspect this movie is for the kids at heart. The globe-spanning conflict between otherworldly monsters of mass destruction and the human-piloted super-machines built to vanquish them was only a prelude to the all-out assault on humanity in Pacific Rim Uprising.
I am interested in John Boyega of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, who stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, and Scott Eastwood of Fate of Fast and Furious. Check out this interview with Boyega.
The Blu-ray and DVD have hit the streets and the movie is streaming. If you haven’t seen the movie yet nows the time. If you are into Godzilla and Transformers, you really enjoy this movie. The battles are so awesome to watch. This second trailer is so much better at letting us know what we will discover in the movie theater.
Directed by Wes Ball from the James Dashner series, Maze Runner: The Death Cure follows the motives of WCKD as they become clearer. Dr. Ava Paige, WCKD’s executive director, is close to what she believes is a cure for the disease known as The Flare, an infection that has decimated the world’s population.
But the cure comes by sacrificing the few young people left in the world who are apparently immune. In order to free those who have been rounded up as test subjects, including his friend Minho, played by Ki Hong Lee, Thomas, played by Dylan O’Brien, must now band together with fellow survivors, old and new, and take the battle to what may be the last remaining city and the final stronghold of WCKD. He must break into the super-secure WKCD headquarters and try to bring down the organization from the inside.
The screenplay is written by T.S. Nowlin, who penned the other two Maze Runner movies.
The Blu-ray/DVD is on the streets, and here is the cover and some cool clips to watch.
Here is the second trailer, which offers more of the storyline. Looks like our hero has some blood to save the world.
There’s not much to say about the movie yet, but here is the first trailer.
I will pick up the book and give it a read before watching the movie. My daughter took ballet for 10 years, and it is a demanding, alluring, and disciplined art.
Directed by Francis Lawrence, Red Sparrowfollows Dominika Egorova, played by Jennifer Lawrence, when she suffers a career-ending injury, Dominika, and her mother faces a bleak and uncertain future. That is why she finds herself manipulated into becoming the newest recruit for Sparrow School, a secret intelligence service that trains exceptional young people like her to use their bodies and minds as weapons.
After enduring the perverse and sadistic training process, she emerges as the most dangerous Sparrow the program has ever produced. Dominika must now reconcile the person she was with the power she now commands, with her own life and everyone she cares about at risk, including an American CIA agent who tries to convince her he is the only person she can trust. The thriller also stars, Joel Edgerton, Matthias Schoenaerts, Charlotte Rampling, Mary-Louise Parker, and Jeremy Irons.
Another interesting note is the movie is based on a book series, and I wonder if the next book in the series will be produced.
The Blu-ray/DVD hit the streets with streaming at the usual platforms. I am not sure how the movie did at the box office. If you haven’t seen it, now is the time to take a look. I find the storyline interesting because it is based on a book written by a former government operative. In interviews, they claim he based it on his experiences in the secret intelligence agency.
Here is the TV Spot. Like all TV Spots, it’s a bit short.
The second trailer tells us the story of a ballerina turn spy in Russia. The trailer also tells us who is starring with Jennifer Lawrence.
Here is the first movie trailer but it doesn’t say much, which is why I am interested in reading the novel.
Directed by Babak Najafi, the movie follows Mary, played by Taraji P. Henson as a hit woman working for an organized crime family in Boston. Her life is completely turned around when she meets a young boy whose path she crosses when a professional hit goes bad.
The poster looks retro 1960s, which is fun to see. With that, Najafi directed London has Fallen. Proud Mary is so different that it will be interesting to watch.
Directed by Christopher Nolan, Dunkirk is a story mentioned in films or television shows. I don’t believe it has ever been a dedicated movie. It is an amazing story, and World War II has so many stories to tell. The movie is a courageous story at an amazing time in our history.
With that, in May 1940, Germany advanced into France, trapping Allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk. Under air and ground cover from British and French forces, troops were slowly and methodically evacuated from the beach using every serviceable naval and civilian vessel that could be found. At the end of this heroic mission, 330,000 French, British, Belgian and Dutch soldiers were safely evacuated.
The movie tells the story of how these fishermen pulled it off. I am excited about seeing this movie.
Directed by Jake Kasdan, son of Lawrence Kasdan (Body Heat), who also directed Bad Teacher, Zero Effect, and Sex Tape, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle follows a breakfast club theme where four teenagers end up as avatars in the Jumanji game.
The teenagers discover an old video game console with a game they’ve never heard of, they are immediately thrust into the game’s jungle setting, into the bodies of their avatars, played by Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan. Nick Jonas plays one on the teenagers. The trailer is fun to watch since the avatars are against type.
What teenagers discover is that you don’t just play Jumanji –Jumanji plays you. They’ll have to go on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, or they’ll be stuck in the game forever. If you haven’t seen the first Jumanji, then you wouldn’t know how to play the game.
I have to mention the first move because it is awesome and still available with Robin Williams and Kirsten Dunst starring.
The newest poster is funnier. It really shows the characters. This could be a fun movie because giving it a Christmas release date shows the studios are banking on it being successful at the box office. But, box office success doesn’t always mean a fun movie.
From the director of Casino Royale, The Foreigner stars Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan. The action thriller follows a humble London businessman Quan, played by Jackie Chan. Whose long-buried past explodes into revenge fueled by terrorists when the only person left for him to love — his teenage daughter — taken from him in a senseless act of politically-motivated terrorism.
In his uncompromising search for the identity of the terrorists, Quan forced into a cat-and-mouse conflict with a British government official, played by Pierce Brosnan. His past holds clues to the names of the hard to pin down killers.
I have a hard time watching a movie where someone’s teenage daughter gets killed. With that, I am sure Chan is doing his own stunts. This role for Brosnan is refreshing to see.
Directed by Ryan Coogler, Black Panther follows T’Challa, played by Chadwick Boseman, who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king.
But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.
The Blu-ray and DVD arrive on the streets. The movie is streaming. The trailer after the movie clips gives all the details, and if you haven’t seen the movie yet, you are in for a treat.
The movie clips are epic and are fun to watch while you wait to see the Blu-ray and DVD.
Tom Cruise makes movies that are worth watching because there is so much that happens in his movies, and he works with the best in the industry. He has said in interviews he likes to entertain his audience. That he does.
Directed by Doug Liman, American Madefollows Cruise’s character as he juggles in this international escapade based on the outrageous (and real) exploits of a hustler and pilot unexpectedly recruited by the CIA to run one of the biggest covert operations in U.S. history.
Based on a true story, Liman and Cruise worked together on Edge of Tomorrow, the movie co-stars Domhnall Gleeson, Sarah Wright, E. Roger Mitchell, Jesse Plemons, Lola Kirke, Alejandro Edda, Benito Martinez, Caleb Landry Jones, and Jayma Mays.
Liman other credits include The Bourne Identity and Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Watching this trailer, I know this movie is going to be a rocket ride, never a dull moment. Just too much fun with lots of talented people in front of and behind the camera.
Directed by Oscar nominee Hany Abu-Assad, The Mountain Between Us stars Oscar winner Kate Winslet and Golden Globe winner Idris Elba.
Beau Bridges has a small part but he is good.
The movie follows two strangers who are stranded after a tragic plane crash. They must forge a connection to survive the extreme elements of a remote snow-covered mountain as they embark on a perilous journey across hundreds of miles of wilderness discovering strength they never knew possible.
This looks like a movie worth watching as long as it has a happy ending. I am a sucker for any happy ending.
This storyline is nothing new and sounds a bit like Transformers, so I suspect this movie is for the kids at heart. The globe-spanning conflict between otherworldly monsters of mass destruction and the human-piloted super-machines built to vanquish them was only a prelude to the all-out assault on humanity in Pacific Rim Uprising.
