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.
Directed by Tony Leondis, The Emoji Movie seems rather far-fetched and unreal because it is a way out there world that does not truly exist.
Following the story unlocks the never-before-seen secret world inside your smartphone. I never thought of my smartphone having a hidden world within the messaging app is Textopolis, a bustling city where all your favorite emojis live, hoping to be selected by the phone’s user.
This story is definitely for kids because, in this world, each emoji has only one facial expression – except for Gene, voiced by T.J. Miller, an exuberant emoji who was born without a filter and is bursting with multiple expressions. Determined to become “normal” like the other emojis, Gene enlists the help of his handy best friend Hi-5, voiced by James Corden, and the notorious code breaker emoji Jailbreak, voiced by Anna Faris.
The Emoji pals embark on an epic “app-venture” through the apps on the phone, each its own wild and fun world, to find the Code that will fix Gene. But when a greater danger threatens the phone, the fate of all emojis depends on these three unlikely friends who must save their world before it’s deleted forever.
Seems like The Wizard of Oz with a twist in a smartphone. I ask, “Why can Gene just be himself?”
Directed by Johannes Roberts, we meet Lisa, played by Mandy Moore, on the rebound after a devastating break-up. She is ready for adventure while on vacation in Mexico. Even still, she needs a little extra persuasion when her daring sister Kate, played by Claire Holt, suggests they go shark diving with some locals.
Stranger Things star Matthew Modine also stars as one of the locals. He plays the causal intensity so nicely and wickedly.
The trailer is pretty intense and a great way to gobble up popcorn.
Once underwater in a protective cage, Lisa and Kate catch a once in a lifetime, face-to-face look at majestic Great Whites. But when their worst fears are realized and the cage breaks away from their boat, they find themselves plummeting to the bottom of the seabed, too deep to radio for help without making themselves vulnerable to the savage sharks, their oxygen supplies rapidly dwindling. 47 Meters Down is a terrifying tale of survival set in the domain of the ocean’s fiercest creatures.
Here is the second trailer, “I am so scared!” is kind of a cheesy line because who wouldn’t be scared. The line is redundant and the director should just let the actress act scared. No words are needed for this horrific setup.
I wanted to post both the green and red trailers, but the red one is blocked for now. I will post it as soon as the production company allows me to do so.
With that, Kingsman: The Golden Circle looks like a fun movie with enough wry humor to keep the edge off of another superhero movie.
I am curious about Sir Elton John’s appearance in the movie as well. I hope he has enough screen time to make the viewing worthwhile.
Directed by Matthew Vaughn, who directed the last Kingsman, the trailer pretty much tells the story as we follow a young protege becomes a part of the independent, international intelligence agency operating at the highest level of discretion, whose ultimate goal is to keep the world safe.
In Kingsman: The Golden Circle, our heroes, played by a stellar cast of Oscar winners, face a new challenge. When their headquarters are destroyed and the world is held hostage, their journey leads them to the discovery of an allied spy organization in the US called Statesman, dating back to the day they were both established. In a new adventure that tests their agents’ strength and wits to the limit, these two elite secret organizations band together to defeat a ruthless common enemy, in order to save the world, something that’s becoming a bit of a habit for
The trailer shows the usual green screen effects claiming a new adventure that tests their agents’ strength and wits to the limit, these two elite secret organizations band together to defeat a ruthless common enemy, in order to save the world.
There are two green trailers but both are different.
Directed by Michael Cuesta, American Assassin stars Dylan O’Brien, who is known for starring in MTV’s Teenwolf and Maze Runner movies. The story follows black ops recruit Mitch Rapp, played by O’Brien. He reels from the death of his fiancée in a terrorist attack when he is assigned to shadowy C.I.A. figure Stan Hurley, played by Michael Keaton, to receive special training in tracking terrorists.
Rapp and Hurley then dispatched to join a Turkish agent on a mission to stop a mysterious operative from unleashing chaos of international proportions.
Michael Cuesta is directing his first major box office movie. He is best known for directing and producing the T.V. series Homeland and independent films such as L.I.E. and Kill the Messenger.
The Blu-ray and DVD are on the streets, so enjoy these clips.
The trailer looks good, and the movie is promising. I will be taking my teenage daughter to see it the first weekend it opens.
Mitch Rapp’s character is in 16 books written by Vince Flynn, so O’Brien’s career is looking mighty fine and flourishing.
Written and directed by James Gray and based on author David Grann’s nonfiction bestseller, The Lost City of Z tells an unbelievable true story of British explorer Percy Fawcett, played by Charlie Hunnam, who journeys into the Amazon in 1906 and discovers evidence of a previously unknown, advanced civilization. During the two-year Royal Geographical Society expedition, Fawcett and his aide-de-camp Henry Costin (Robert Pattinson) map uncharted territory in Bolivia and, with the help of local tribesmen, trace the legendary Rio Verde upriver to its breathtaking source. Deep in the heart of the rainforest, Fawcett discovers weathered pottery shards which seem to offer proof of a lost city.
During the two-year Royal Geographical Society expedition, Fawcett, and his aide-de-camp Henry Costin, played by Robert Pattinson, map uncharted territory in Bolivia and, with the help of local tribesmen, trace the legendary Rio Verde upriver to its breathtaking source. Deep in the heart of the rainforest, Fawcett discovers weathered pottery shards which seem to offer proof of a lost city.
When Fawcett returns to England and proclaims his belief in an ancient South American civilization he calls the Lost City of Z, he’s ridiculed by members of the scientific establishment who regard indigenous populations as “savages.”
Fawcett also confronts the toll his adventures have taken on his spirited wife Nina, played by Sienna Miller, and their young son, who was born in his absence. With Nina’s help and encouragement, Fawcett defies the skeptics and organizes a second expedition that includes wealthy adventurer James Murray, played by Angus Macfadyen.
The rest of the movie is adventurous and eye-opening in what a person will go through to make a true discovery. The tale continues and the ending you should know if you are up on famous explorers.
King Arthur has Guy Ritchie written all over it with the choppy shots and hard rock music. After viewing the trailer, I am not sure of the storyline with a bold fantasy and gothic stroke.
Ritchie brings an edge to the story in his own dynamic style to the epic fantasy action-adventure. We’ve all heard or read the story growing up. Starring Charlie Hunnam in the title role, the film is an iconoclastic take on the classic Excalibur myth, tracing Arthur’s journey from the streets to the throne.
Jude Law is in the movie as well and knows Ritchie well from their Sherlock movies. I hope the next trailer share more of the storyline.
Directed by Paul W. S. Anderson and based on Capcom’s hugely popular video game series comes the last movie from a popular video game film franchise. The movie picks up immediately after the events in Resident Evil: Retribution. Alice, played by Milla Jovovich, is the only survivor of what they meant to be humanity’s final stand against the undead.
Now, she must return to where the nightmare began—The Hive in Raccoon City, where the Umbrella Corporation is gathering its forces for the last strike against the only remaining survivors of the apocalypse.
The trailer is cheesy, but game fans will enjoy the show.
Directed by Peter Chelsom, this interplanetary adventure, a space shuttle embarks on the first mission to colonize Mars, only to discover after takeoff that one astronaut is pregnant. Shortly after landing, she dies from complications while giving birth to the first human born on the red planet— never revealing who the father is. Thus begins the extraordinary life of Gardner Elliot, played by Asa Butterfield—an inquisitive, highly intelligent boy who reaches 16, having only met 14 people in his very unconventional upbringing.
While searching for clues about his father, and the home planet he’s never known, Gardner begins an online friendship with a street-smart girl, played by Britt Robertson, in Colorado named Tulsa. When he finally has time to go to Earth, he’s eager to experience all the wonders he could only read about on Mars— from the simplest to the extraordinary. But once his explorations begin, scientists discover that Gardner’s organs can’t withstand Earth’s atmosphere.
Eager to find his father, Gardner escapes the team of scientists and joins with Tulsa in a race against time to unravel the mysteries of how he came to be and where he belongs in the universe.
Directed by Tom McGrath, The Boss Baby is a hilariously universal story about how a new baby’s arrival affects a family, told from a delightfully unreliable narrator, a wildly imaginative 7-year-old named Tim.
He wears a suit, speaks with the voice and wit of Alec Baldwin, and stars in the animated comedy with a sly, heart-filled message about the importance of family. The Boss Baby looks hilarious and should appeal to the entire family.
Directed by Oscar nominee Hany Abu-Assad, The Mountain Between Us stars Oscar winner Kate Winslet and Golden Globe winner Idris Elba.
