Directed by seasoned cinematographer Ericson Core and screenplay by Tom Flynn, Togo is about the story of the sled dog, Togo, who led the 1925 serum run but was considered by most to be too small and weak to lead such an intense race.
The movie will leave you feeling good about survival and giving the underdog a chance to prove him or herself.
The adventure movie stars Willem Dafoe, Julianne Nicholson, and Christopher Heyerdahl.
The following four clips are pure entertainment, especially the last one is intense.
Jack London’s literary classic takes a new turn in the adaptation of The Call of the Wild with live-action and animation animals.
The movie is streaming on Amazon, and here is a featurette about the star of the film, Buck. The man who plays him is with Cirque du Soleil. Watch this clip and see how well he acts like Buck.
Directed by Chris Sanders and starring Harrison Ford as John Thornton, the vivid story comes is well-known. We follow Buck, a big-hearted dog whose blissful domestic life is turned upside down when he is suddenly uprooted from his California home and transplanted to the exotic wilds of the Alaskan Yukon during the Gold Rush of the 1890s.
As the newest rookie on a mail delivery sled team–and later its leader–Buck experiences the adventure of a lifetime, ultimately finding his real place in the world and becoming his own master.
Sanders helms the movie as a live-action and animation hybrid, employing cutting edge visual effects and animation technology to render the animals in the film as fully photorealistic, emotionally, and authentic characters.
Sanders credits include Lilo & Stitch and How to Train Your Dragon. He holds quite a repertory of writing credits, including The Lion King, Mulan, and Beauty and the Beast. However, Michael Green wrote the script based on London’s novel and Egerton Ryerson Young’s source material.
The cast also includes Dan Stevens, Omar Sy, Karen Gillan, Bradley Whitford, and Colin Woodell.
Ford is a natural in this movie clip, an amazing actor.
Directed by Tim Hill, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run at first reflexes on the relationship between Gary the snail and SpongeBob. After SpongeBob’s beloved pet snail Gary is snail-napped, he and Patrick embark on an epic adventure to The Lost City of Atlantic City to bring Gary home.
Directed by Tim Hill, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run begins at first to reflect on the relationship between Gary the snail and SpongeBob.
After SpongeBob’s beloved pet snail Gary is snail-napped, he and Patrick embark on an epic adventure to The Lost City of Atlantic City to bring Gary home.
Hill plays a big part in the evolution of SpongeBob. He’s directed the TV series and SpongeBob’s first movie.
The trailer offers the story and continues with crazy, nonsensical scenes that make us gut laugh at the silliness. The first part is Keanu Reeves as the sage bush, and the Atlantic City is where SpongeBob and Patrick go.
Co-written and directed by Behn Zeitlin, Wendy takes the classic tale of Peter Pan and reimagines it. The story goes on an adventure taking a look at the wild, untidy, disorganized group of kids epically.
Zeitlin, director of Beasts of the Southern Wild, wrote the screenplay with his sister Eliza Zeitlin. Eliza is also the production designer for the movie.
Lost on a mysterious island where aging and time have come unglued, Wendy must fight to save her family, her freedom, and the joyous spirit of youth from the deadly peril of growing up.
The cast includes Shay Walker, Tommie Lynn Milazzo, and Stephanie Lynn Wilson.
Such a cute and inspirational movie, I hope Wendy gets the views it deserves.
Co-written and directed by Will Gluck, Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway greets Peter, played by James Corden. He and his friends return for more ventures.
The rabbits created a makeshift family, but despite his best efforts, Peter can’t seem to shake his mischievous reputation.
Adventuring out of the garden, Peter finds himself in a world where his mischief is appreciated, but when his family risks everything to come looking for him, Peter must figure out what kind of bunny he wants to be.
Patrick Burleigh is also an actor and a director, co-wrote the screenplay with Gluck based on the stories by Beatrice Potter. Gluck is also a producer and is known for Easy A, Friends with Benefits, Annie, Peter Rabbit, and several TV shows, including The Michael J. Fox Show.
The rest of the cast includes Rose Byrne, Domhnall Gleeson, David Oyelowo, Elizabeth Debicki, and Margot Robbie.
The second trailer is very different from the first trailer. The second trailer shows an adventurous story of Peter trying to save his friends while Mr. Gregor helps because he is a father to these crazy animals.
Rex Harrison and Eddie Murphy played the beloved Dr. Dolittle before this production with Robert Downey Jr.
Written and directed by Stephen Gaghan, based on the story by Thomas Shepherd, Dolittle excites one of literature’s most enduring characters and stories in an expressive remake of the classic tale of the man who talks to animals, Dr. John Dolittle, played by Robert Downey Jr.
The movie is available on Prime and wherever DVDs and Blu-rays are sold.
After losing his wife seven years earlier, Dolittle becomes eccentric but a famed doctor and veterinarian of Queen Victoria’s England. He hermits himself away behind the high walls of Dolittle Manor with only his menagerie of exotic animals for company.
But when the young queen, played by Jessie Buckley, falls gravely ill, a reluctant Dolittle set sails on a grand adventure to a mythical island in search of a cure, recovering his wit and courage as he crosses old adversaries and discovers fascinating creatures.
The doctor is accompanied on his journey by a young, self-appointed apprentice, played by Harry Collett. Joining the doctor are a loud circle of animal friends, including an anxious gorilla, voiced by Rami Malek, an enthusiastic but bird-brained duck, spoken by Octavia Spencer, a bickering duo of a cynical ostrich, voiced by Kumail Nanjiani, and an upbeat polar bear, voiced by John Cena, and a headstrong parrot, voiced by Emma Thompson, who serves as Dolittle’s most esteemed advisor and confidante.
The movie also stars Antonio Banderas, Michael Sheen, Jim Broadbent. It features additional voice performances from Marion Cotillard, Frances de la Tour, Carmen Ejogo, Ralph Fiennes, Selena Gomez, Tom Holland, and Craig Robinson.
The next trailer offers more information about the movie, and it seems more entertaining.
I went on the Jungle Cruise ride at Disneyland when I was a youngster. It was my favorite ride at the time because it was so mellow. I am sure Jaume Collet-Serra is not creating such a laid-back movie.
Jungle Cruise stars Emily Blunt as Lily Houghton and Dwayne Johnson as Frank. Disney Studios describes the movie based on the theme park ride. A small riverboat takes a group of travelers through a jungle filled with dangerous animals and reptiles, but with a supernatural element.
Glenn Ficarra, Michael Green, and John Requa scripted the movie. The movie also stars Jesse Plemons and Paul Giamatti.
The last line in the trailer delivered by Blunt, “This is real,” says it all.
Co-written by Swati Bhise, Devika Bhise, and Olivia Emden, with Swati Bhise also directing, The Warrior Queen of Jhansi tells the true story of the legendary Rani of Jhansi, played by Devika Bhise, a feminist icon in India and a fearless freedom fighter. Rani means Queen.
In 1857 India, this 24-year-old General led her people into battle against the British Empire, earning the reputation of Joan of Arc of the East. This real-life Wonder Woman’s insurrection shifted the balance of power in the region and set the demise of the notorious British East India Company and the beginning of the British Raj under Queen Victoria, played by Jodhi May.
The rest of the impressive cast includes Rupert Everett, Nathaniel Parker, Ben Lamb, and Derek Jacobi.
It’s hard to imagine this culture allowed women to fight in battles. How did it change to what it is today?
Directed by Tom Harper, The Aeronauts takes place in 1862 and originates from actual events in history. Harper wrote the story with Jack Thorne, and Thorne penned the screenplay from their collaboration. The word “aeronauts” is a dated word meaning “a traveler in a hot-air balloon, airship, or other flying craft.”
In this case, the movie follows the fictional character, daredevil balloon pilot Amelia Wren, played by Felicity Jones. She teams up with real-life pioneering meteorologist James Glaisher, played by Eddie Redmayne, to advance human knowledge of the weather and fly higher than anyone in history.
The story comes from Henry Coxwell and James Glaisher September 5, 1862, hot air balloon flight of the British aeronauts where they broke the world flight altitude record at the time, reaching about 11,887.
Wren replaces Coxwell, and she is a combination of Coxwell and real-life women who were aeronauts, including Sophie Blanchard, Margaret Graham, and Amelia Earhart. Jones told Walter Scott during an interview for Parade that Sophie Blanchard, an extraordinary aeronaut, inspire the character. She was one of the first women to fly solo in a balloon. Blanchard was a fantastic character who set fireworks off from the basket. She’s an inspiration for Amelia Wren, the role she plays.
While breaking records and advancing scientific discovery, their voyage to the very edge of existence helps the unlikely pair find their place in the world they have left far below them. But they face physical and emotional challenges in the thin air, as the ascent becomes a fight for survival.
The second trailer tells of the mystical adventure of two people climbing higher and higher into thin air.
The next two clips so how the production creates an intensity in the story. I am not sure about this movie yet, but happy to see it will be on Amazon Prime.
Teenage girls go diving and explore a submerged Mayan City.
Directed by Johannes Roberts, 47 Meters Down: Uncaged follows the diving adventure of four teenage girls, played by Corinne Foxx, Sistine Stallone, Sophie Nélisse, and Brianne Tju. They explore a submerged Mayan City, and inside, their rush of excitement turns into a jolt of terror.
They discover the sunken ruins are a hunting ground for deadly Great White Sharks. With their air supply steadily dwindling, the friends must navigate the underwater labyrinth of claustrophobic caves and eerie tunnels in search of a way out of their watery hell.
The rest of the cast includes Brec Bassinger, Khylin Rhambo, Davi Santos, John Corbett, and Nia Long.

Roberts says that “47 Meters Down: Uncaged is very different from the first one [47 Meters Down.] These four girls – two step-sisters and two friends – basically, take a day by a lake in Mexico. One of the sisters is the daughter of an archaeologist working on this underwater mine city, mapping it out, and these girls all have basic dive skills, so they decide to go down to look at the first entrance. And then the tunnel collapses and they’re trapped.” Roberts flashes a shark-like grin before staying that, “they are not alone in there! So there’s claustrophobia, plus sharks! It’s pretty fucking scary.”
