“The Matrix Resurrections” Trailers Shows Us What We Want

Directed by Lana Wachowski, if The Matrix Resurrections is as good as its trailers, we are in for a great franchise rebirth starring Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Neil Patrick Harris and Jada Pinkett Smith.

It’s so cool that “White Rabbit” by Jefferson Airplane plays throughout the trailer. The storyline is just enough so as not to ruin the outcome.

“Moonfall” Trailers, Clips, Images and Posters

Directed by the master of planetary disaster, Roland Emmerich brings us Moonfall. The perfect escapism we need today. A mysterious force knocks the Earth’s Moon from its orbit around and sends it hurtling on a collision course with us as we know it. 

The main characters in the movie tell us that the world is on the brink of destruction, with mere weeks of impact. 

Patrick Wilson portrays astronaut “Brian Harper” surrounded by a mysterious force in the sci-fi epic MOONFALL.
Halle Berry portrays former astronaut and NASA Deputy Director “Jacinda Fowler” conducting an emergency shuttle launch to save the world in the sci-fi epic MOONFALL.

Along comes NASA executive and former astronaut Jo Fowler, played by Halle Berry. She’s convinced that she has the key to saving us all. Still, only one astronaut from her past, Brian Harper, played by Patrick Wilson, and a conspiracy theorist, K.C. Houseman, played by John Bradley, believe her. 

John Bradley portrays Moon conspiracy theorist “K.C. Houseman” peering out the window of the Endeavour Space Shuttle in the sci-fi epic MOONFALL.

The cast impressed me, including Michael Peña, Charlie Plummer, Kelly Yu, Eme Ikwuakor, Carolina Bartczak and Donald Sutherland.

These unlikely heroes will mount an impossible last-ditch mission into space, leaving behind everyone they love, only to discover that our Moon is not what we think it is.

It’s good to see Donald Sutherland in this clip.

When a remote diamond mine collapses in the far northern regions of Canada, an ice driver, played by Liam Neeson, orchestrates a rescue mission. The catch is they have to drive their 18-wheelers over a frozen ocean to save the miner’s lives. The waters were thawing, and they confronted threats they didn’t see coming.

Also starring are Marcus Thomas, Laurence Fishburne, Benjamin Walker, and Amber Midthunder.

According to Netflix, where the movie streams and posted by IMDB, The Mitchells vs. The Machines, an animated movie, follows an ordinary family who finds themselves in the middle of their biggest family challenge yet — saving the world from the robot apocalypse. 

When a film school of her dreams accepts creative outsider Katie Mitchell, she’s eager to leave home and find “her people,” when her nature-loving dad insists on having the whole family drive her to school and bond during one last totally-not-awkward-or-forced road trip. 

But when the trip can’t get any worse, the family suddenly finds itself in the middle of the robot uprising. Everything from smartphones to Roombas to evil Furbys tries to capture every human on the planet. 

Now it’s up to the Mitchells, including upbeat mom Linda, quirky little brother Aaron, their squishy pug, Monchi, and two friendly but simple-minded robots to save humanity.

Co-written and co-directed by Mike Rianda and Jeff Rowe, the voice cast includes Abbi Jacobson, Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph and Olivia Coleman. 

“Snake Eyes” Promising Ultimate Breakthrough of Authentic Superheroes

Henry Golding plays Snake Eyes in Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins from Paramount Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures and Skydance.

Directed by Robert Schwentke, Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins follows actor Henry Golding as Snake Eyes. He’s a tenacious loner who becomes part of an ancient Japanese clan called the Arashikage after saving the life of their heir. Upon arrival in Japan, the Arashikage teaches Snake Eyes the ways of the ninja warrior while also providing something he’s been longing for — a home.

But, as secrets from his past become revealed, Snake Eyes’ honor and allegiance become tested — even if that means losing the trust of those closest to him.

Based on the iconic G.I. Joe character, Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, Evan Spiliotopoulos wrote the screenplay. His credits include Beauty and the Beast, The Huntsman: Winter’s War, and recently The Unholy, which he also directed.

“Stillwater” Challenges Father’s Unconditional Love

Directed by Tom McCarthy, Stillwater follows Bill, played by Matt Damon, an American oil-rig roughneck from Oklahoma. He travels to Marseille to visit his estranged daughter, played by Abigail Breslin. She’s in prison for a murder she claims she did not commit.

Confronted with language barriers, cultural differences, and a complicated legal system, Bill builds a new life for himself in France as he makes it his mission to clear his daughter of any alleged wrongdoing.

McCarthy won an Oscar for Spotlight. Stillwater seems just as powerful and suspenseful. With a father dealing with his estranged daughter imprisoned in Marseille for a murder she insists she did not commit, unemployed oil-rig worker Bill Baker, her father, visits deliver supplies and news. But when Allison presents her father with a new lead, he takes matters into his own hands and attempts to exonerate his daughter. Confronted with a foreign land he does not understand nor belong in, and Bill struggles in his mission until he meets a local woman and her young daughter who help him uncover the truth and, along the way, discover a life that he thought was beyond his grasp.

“I began working on Stillwater about ten years ago. I set out with the intention to make a thriller set in a European port city. I was inspired by a number of Mediterranean Noir writers like Andrea Camilleri, Massimo Carlotto, and Jean-Claude Izzo, whose brilliant Marseille Trilogy led me to the French city. One visit to Marseille and I knew that I found my port. The layers and textures of the city were undeniably cinematic, and the confluence of cultures and the pace of the seaside metropolis felt like the perfect canvas for the film.”

As he combs the streets of Marseille, searching for the proverbial needle in a haystack, Bill finds himself on an unexpected path, growing ever closer to Virginie and Maya. It’s a journey of self-discovery and liberation from a life that long seemed preordained. Yet when his need to prove his daughter’s innocence collides with his commitment to Virginie and Maya, with only tough choices left that not only threaten to destroy his new life but also his last shot at redemption.

Camille Cottin and Deanna Dunagan also star.

“The Protege” Ultimate Revenge, Absolutely Lowest

Directed by Martin Campbell, The Protege follows Anna, played by Maggie Q, rescued as a child by the legendary assassin Moody, played by Samuel L. Jackson, and trained in the family business. Anna is the world’s most skilled contract killer.

But when Moody — the man who was like a father to her and taught her everything she needs to know about trust and survival — someone brutally kills him, Anna vows revenge.

As she becomes entangled with an enigmatic killer, played by Michael Keaton, whose attraction to her goes way beyond cat and mouse, their confrontation turns deadly, and the loose ends of a life spent killing will weave themselves even tighter.

The film has strong and bloody violence, language, some sexual references, and brief nudity with an R rating.

Campbell brought us 007’s Casino Royale, resurrecting the franchise. Also staring is Robert Patrick, known best for The Terminator franchise.

Enjoy a couple of TV spots that are short and sweet.
