Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton with a stellar cast, the movie is based on a book by Jeannette Walls. The Glass Castle follows a woman’s life that gets turned upside down when her dysfunctional parents move to New York to live nearer to her.
The movie stars Brie Larson, who is from my hometown. Woody Harrelson, Jennifer Lawrence, Naomi Watts, and Max Greenfield join Larson.
The movie is being called a comedy-drama. I just hope it hits its mark.
Here is the final poster for the movie. I have also added a featurette that is pretty darn good. Enjoy!
Daphne du Maurier is one of my favorite authors because she writes poignant descriptions with edgy suspense. I devoured her novel “Rebbeca.” She is a great storyteller.
Here we have My Cousin Rachel, based on the novel by the British author, published in 1951. Like the earlier Rebecca, it is a mystery-romance, set primarily on a large estate in Cornwall.
I can’t recall reading My Cousin Rachel, though I have read a lot of du Maurier’s books. With such a moving and calculating trailer, I am compelled to download the book on my Kindle and read the novel to see if I can remember if I ever read it.
Directed by Roger Mitchell and starring Rachel Weisz, the movie follows a young Englishman as he plots revenge against his mysterious, beautiful cousin, believing that she murdered his guardian. But his feelings become complicated as he finds himself falling under the beguiling spell of her charms.
Directed by Nikolaj Arcel, I have not read many Stephen King’s books, so I am not familiar with The Dark Tower storyline or whether it follows the book at all.
Though, I am intrigued to see a young boy telling a story to a therapist of some sort. There are some talented people behind the camera and in front of the camera as well. Ron Howard is one of the producers.
The story follows a gunslinger, played by Idris Elba, and we are told there are other worlds than these, which is not that ambitious these days. Other worlds are quite common in the movie industry.
Still, it is an expansive story from one of the world’s most celebrated authors, and now it is headed to the big screen. So, the last Gunslinger, known as Roland Deschain, has been locked in an eternal battle with Walter O’Dim, also known as the Man in Black, played by Matthew McConaughey, determined to prevent him from toppling the Dark Tower, which holds the universe together. With the fate of the worlds at stake, good and evil will collide in the ultimate battle as only Roland can defend the Tower from the Man in Black.
Also in the cast is Jackie Earle Haley, who is fondly known for playing Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise movies.
It really sounds like dark fantasy where kids tell the story late a night during a sleepover. I sure it will do well at the box office because King has a legion of fans.
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.
Directed by Jason Connery, golf lovers will enjoy this movie and probably have heard of this true story. Tom and Tommy Morris, father and son, pioneers of professional golf, relied on skill, business acumen, and working-class street smarts to make Tommy one of the world’s first sports superstars and found the modern game of golf.
Jack Lowden, Sam O’Neill, and Peter Mullan look grand in this movie.
Directed by Niki Caro, The Zookeeper’s Wife stars Jessica Chastain as Antonina and her husband, Dr. Jan Żabiński, played by Johan Heldenbergh. They are the keepers of the Warsaw Zoo, one of the largest and most prolific zoos in 1930s Europe.
In 1939, Antonina opened the zoo gates as a crowd had gathered to view the many species on display. Her husband Jan, recently appointed the director of the Warsaw Zoo, faces the scornful yet envious advances of Dr. Lutz Heck, played by Daniel Brühl, the head of the Berlin Zoo, as “Hitler’s zoologist.”
Shortly, Antonina and her son Ryszard, played by Timothy Radford and later Val Maloku, are shocked to witness the aerial bombardment of Warsaw as German forces storm Poland. The zoo is not to be spared, and bombs destroy the cages and kill many of the animals. As Polish resistance collapses under overwhelming odds, Dr. Heck arrives at the zoo, beseeching Antonia to let him save the “prize” specimens, which she reluctantly grants, but then learns that his motives are suspect.
Warsaw becomes the scene of a monstrous upheaval with Jews first identified and their stores and shops looted. Jan and his wife decide to help a Jewish friend hide from the Nazis. The Zabrinskis devise an elaborate plan to spirit away Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto, even as it is being devastated by a relentless, murderous Nazi juggernaut. Snatching children and adults from the ghetto, over 300 “guests” inhabit the Zabrinski’s home on their way to freedom, with new identification papers and, sometimes, even a wig and a makeover to fool the Nazis.
Watching Chastain in the trailers and clips shows so much talent. She is so talented and from my hometown.
I am totally freaked out about this trailer. IT is so scary that I keep looking behind me to see if I am truly alone. The house noises are unsettling and this is a true classic horror movie based on Stephen King’s book of the same title.
Let’s face it. Kids do not like clowns. My daughter was terrified of them, so what better story to scare kids and adults. You can’t trust a clown because they are hidden behind all that make up. Take off the clown makeup and what do you have? Just a scary man…but leave it on and I am diving under that table or running for the hills.
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.

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.
Get ready for an over-the-top, prank-filled superhero comedy that families will love.
Directed by David Soren, Captain Underpants is based on a popular book series and stars Kevin Hart and Ed Helms.
DreamWorks put the movie together, and the winded title is Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie. It’s a light and zippy movie, brimming with jokes, pratfalls, and action akin to a comic book. It’s aimed at kids who also like slightly gross humor and superhero parody.
This raucously subversive comedy for the entire family tells the story of two overly imaginative pranksters, George and Harold. They hypnotize their school principal, Mr. Drupp, into thinking he’s a ridiculously enthusiastic, incredibly dimwitted superhero, Captain Underpants.
I thought all school principals thought they were superheroes.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton with a stellar cast, the movie is based on a book by Jeannette Walls. The Glass Castle follows a woman’s life that gets turned upside down when her dysfunctional parents move to New York to live nearer to her.
Here is the final poster for the movie. I have also added a featurette that is pretty darn good. Enjoy!
