“Playing with Fire” Trailer, Clips, and Poster

Directed by Andy Fickman, Playing with Fire is a comedy about firemen and kids. When straight-laced fire superintendent Jake Carson, played by John Cena, and his elite team of expert firefighters, played by Keegan-Michael Key, John Leguizamo, and Tyler Mane, come to the rescue of three siblings, played by Brianna Hildebrand, Christian Convery, and Finley Rose Slater, in the path of an encroaching wildfire, they quickly realize that no amount of training could prepare them for their most challenging job yet – babysitters.

Unable to locate the children’s parents, the firefighters have their lives, jobs, and even their fire depot turned upside down and quickly learn that kids – much like fires –are wild and unpredictable.

Fickman’s credits include Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, several episodic television comedies, and Race to Witch Mountain starring Dwayne Johnson.

Dan Ewen and Matt Lieberman wrote the screenplay.

The following two movie clips show how cute and ridiculous the movie gets. Kids will probably love it.

The following clips are funny, cute, and ridiculous.

“Knives Out” Posters, Images, Clips & Trailers

Purchase the Blu-ray or DVD

Written and directed by Rian Johnson, Knives Out is a parody of the mastermind Agatha Christie. The movie looks like a modern-day murder mystery and everyone is a suspect. The story begins at the 85th birthday party of renowned crime novelist Harlan Thrombey, played by Christopher Plummer.  

The movie is now streaming, or you can purchase the Blu-ray or DVD, and watch it whenever and wherever you want.

After his party, he is found dead at his estate, and the inquisitive and debonair Detective Benoit Blanc, played by Daniel Craig, is enlisted to investigate his murder. But, it is unclear how he arrived at being the investigator, and that is a mystery in itself. 

From Harlan’s dysfunctional family to his devoted staff, Blanc sifts through a web of red herrings and self-serving lies to uncover the truth behind Harlan’s untimely death. By watching the trailer, you can see Craig’s character heavily contrasts with his 007 in the James Bond movies. 

From left to right. Richard (Don Johnson), Linda (Jamie Lee Curtis), Ransom (Chris Evans) Great Nana (K Callan), Marta (Ana de Armas), Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) Walt (Michael Shannon), Jacob (Jaeden Lieberher), Donna (Riki Lindholm), Joni (Toni Collette) and Meg (Katherine Langford).

The stellar cast includes Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Don Johnson, Michael Shannon, LaKeith Stanfield, Katherine Langford, and Jaeden Martell.

The movie appears to be a witty and stylish whodunit. Johnson hopes to keep audiences guessing until the very end.

Johnson is best known for directing Star Wars: The Last Jedi. His other writing and directing credits include Brick and Looper.

The second trailer offers a better idea of what the movie is about and how it flows for the audience. It flows much better because it seems to be intense and funny.

The movie looks hilarious with overwhelming craziness. Daniel Craig plays a character so unlike his James Bond.

I am not sure what is happening in this next clip. We have two cops and an inspector.

The next clip shows how snappy the movie flows.

Daniel Craig and Jamie Lee Curtis are in a scene together. It is phenomenal.

“Bad Trip” Trailer

Directed by Kitao Sakurai, Bad Trip is a ridiculous movie similar to Jackass and Bad Grandpa.

The producers seem to think a hidden camera with raunchy pranks is funny and makes a comedy worth seeing.

Tiffany Haddish stars in the movie about two best friends on a cross-country road trip full of hilarious, inventive pranks, pulling its real-life audience into the mayhem.

“The Peanut Butter Falcon” Posters, Clips & Trailer

Co-directed by Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz, The Peanut Butter Falcon is a modern-day adventure story with quirky characters and lessons learn like a Mark Twain story.

The movie follows Zak, played by Zack Gottsagen, a young man with Down syndrome, who runs away from a residential nursing home to follow his dream of attending the professional wrestling school of his idol, The Salt Water Redneck, played by Thomas Haden Church.

The Peanut Butter Falcon won SXSW Film Fest Audience Award 2019.

A strange turn of events connects him with Tyler, played by Shia LaBeouf. Tyler is a small-time outlaw on the run, who becomes Zak’s unlikely coach and ally. Together they wind through deltas, elude capture, drink whiskey, find God, catch fish, and convince Eleanor, Dakota Johnson, a kind nursing home employee charged with Zak’s return, to join them on their journey.

Both Nilson and Schwartz are new to directing but have a strong desire to make meaningful movies. The Peanut Butter Falcon won SXSW Film Festival Audience Award 2019.

The “Kidnapping” clip shows how the relationship between these three people develops.

Three more movie clips show the actors working together. Watching them, I am not sure where the movie is going with these two men. Dakota Johnson adds a tremendous amount of validity to the story. Watch the first two clips, then the one with her in it, and you will see what I mean.

The featurette is an eyeopener about three actors coming together and making a movie about a young man with Down syndrome.

“Ready or Not” Poster, Images, Clips, Featurettes & Trailer

Directed by Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Ready or Not is a quirky horror movie about newlyweds who go through a deadly ritual with the family after the wedding.

The movie is available on Blu-ray, DVD, and streaming outlets, just in time for Halloween.

Samara Weaving plays the young bride, and Mark O’Brien plays her new husband. Her husband’s family is wealthy and eccentric, played by Adam Brody, Henry Czerny, and Andie MacDowell, in a time-honored tradition that turns into a deadly game where everyone fights for survival.

The screenplay by Guy Busick and Ryan Murphy is funny, but it might miss the mark. Here are the red band and green band trailers.

The first available clip sets up the story well. The characters are a little overdramatic, but it’s supposed to be the humorous side of the movie.

The “Heat Start” movie clip shows the dangerous side of the game, while some of the family members are hesitant to play the inevitable game.

The following three featurettes show how the movie filmed the scenes and the different costumes of the same wedding dress get thrashed.

Redband Featurette

“Sword of Trust” Poster and Trailer

Co-written and directed by Lynn Shelton, Sword of Trust is a riotously funny, improv-based story about Cynthia, played by Jillian Bell, and Mary, played by Michaela Watkins, show up to collect Cynthia’s inheritance from her deceased grandfather.

The sole item she received is an antique sword that her grandfather believed to be proof that the South won the Civil War. Cynthia and Mary attempt to unload the object to a curmudgeonly pawnshop owner Mel, played by Marc Maron, and his man-child sidekick Nathaniel, played by Jon Bass.

Mel and Nathaniel discover there’s a black market for the relic. They reluctantly join forces to sell this rarefied ‘prover item’ to the highest bidder. The adventure that ensues takes the four of them on a wild journey into the depths of conspiracy theory and Southern disillusionment.

Maron also wrote and performed the music for the movie, and Mike O’Brien co-wrote the script with Shelton.

Also starring in the movie are Toby Huss and Dan Bakkedahl. Jillian Bell is busy these days and stars in the Sundance audience favorite Brittney Runs a Marathon.

“Brittany Runs a Marathon” Posters, Clips & Trailer

Written and directed by Paul Downs Colaizzo and winner of the 2019 Sundance Film Festival Audience Award, Brittany Runs a Marathon follows an unusually poignant portrait of a young woman, played by Jillian Bell, uncovering her long-buried potential.

Brittany Forgler is everybody’s best friend ― except maybe her own. At 27, her hard-partying ways, chronic underemployment, and toxic relationships are catching up with her, but when she stops by a new doctor’s office to try to score some Adderall, she gets slapped with a prescription she never wanted: Get healthy. Too broke for a gym and too proud to ask for help, Brit is at a loss, until her seemingly together neighbor Catherine pushes her to lace up her Converse sneakers and run one sweaty block. The next day, she runs two. And soon, after finishing her first mile, she sets an almost unthinkable goal: running in the New York City Marathon.

The movie is the winner of the 2019 Sundance Film Festival Audience Award.

The rest of the cast includes Michaela Watkins, Micah Stock, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Alice Lee, and Lil Rel Howery.

This movie could be the next sleeper hit.

Colaizzo won the Helen Hayes award for his playwrighting talent, and now, he is making his screenwriting and directorial debut with a slice of life movie. Brittany Runs a Marathon reminds me of Richard Curtis or Cameron Crowe storytelling.

The three movie clips show Brittany’s attitude before she starts changing her life around and getting in shape. The first clip is obscure, and its purpose of the scene is unconvincing.

The last clip is in the trailer but shows how Brittany managed to get by in life by lying. The doctor is smart and sits her on a path of redemption and a healthier lifestyle.

“Abominable” Posters, Clips, Featurette & Trailer

Written and co-directed by Jill Culton, Abominable is a DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio’s co-production. The story follows Yi, voiced by Chloe Bennet, as she encounters a young Yeti on her apartment building’s rooftop in Shanghai. Her impish friends Jin, voiced by Tenzing Norgay, and Peng, voiced by Albert Tsai, named the Yeti “Everest.”

The cute little movie is available for Blu-ray, DVD, or streaming.

They embark on an epic quest to reunite the magical creature with his family at the highest point on Earth. The journey takes audiences on an epic 2,000-mile adventure from the streets of Shanghai to the breathtaking Himalayan snowscapes.

But the trio has to stay one step ahead of Burnish, voiced by Eddie Izzard. Eddie is a wealthy man intent on capturing a Yeti along with zoologist Dr. Zara, voiced by Sarah Paulson. If Yi and her friends can’t evade these two evildoers, they might not help Everest get home.

Culton’s directing credits include Open Season, Monsters, Inc., and Toy Story 2, and the movie is co-directed by Todd Wilderman, who directed Trolls and Crood.

The movie clip looks like a fun movie to see with the kids. It’s magical and spontaneous.

The movie clip explains more about the silliness and craziness that goes on with their newfound friend.

The featurette shows how the voice cast values the story, and it relates to their heritage.

“The Addams Family” Animated Movie Poster, Clips & Trailers

The next installment of The Addams Family is an animated family.

Co-directed by Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan, The Addams Family, like the television series, the animated movie is silly and dorky. The infamous family once again arrives in a different version – animated.

The television show went from featured film to Broadway and now back as an animated feature film. The family’s trademark of snapping their fingers is being played up in the trailer.

The studio is calling the movie the “first animated comedy about this creepy and kooky clan.” The conflict that keeps the story the movie interesting is not revealed yet. We know the family is still weird, outlandish, bizarre, and keeping to the original Addams Family behavior from the television show.

The all-star voice cast includes Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, Chloë Grace Moretz, Finn Wolfhard, Nick Kroll, Bette Midler, and Allison Janney.

Here is the Instagram version of the trailer. The difference is it’s shorter, and there are captions like a meme.

The next trailer tells us more about the story. Wednesday altering the class Science project by bringing the frogs back to life is hilarious.

The next movie clip shows what to expect from beginning to the end of the movie – intentional mishaps to and fro.

The next clip is for those diehard fans who watched the television series, Broadway show, and movies.

“Stuber” Poster, Clips & Trailers

Directed by Michael Dowse, Stuber follows a level-headed Uber driver named Stu, played by Kumail Nanjiani. He picks up a passenger, played by Dave Bautista, who turns out to be a cop hot on the trail of a brutal killer.

Stu in pushed into a harrowing ordeal where he desperately tries to hold onto his wits, his life, and his five-star rating.

The movie also stars Iko Uwais, Natalie Morales, Betty Gilpin, Jimmy Tatro, Mira Sorvino, and Karen Gillan.

This is the second movie Bautista has coming out back to back with My Spy. The trailer is funny, no it’s hilarious.

The next movie trailer is red band, which means it is disgusting. The trailer is not for faint hearts or ears.

The next movie clip is similar to what we see in the trailers.

Another clip that shows the dangerous of being an Uber driver for a police officer.

The next movie clip is different from the other clips and trailers. The human heart aspect of the story starts in this clip.
