Co-written and directed by Sean Anders, Instant Family is based on real events in Anders’ life when he and his wife decided to adopt three kids over the age of five. Releasing the featurette before the movie trailer is unique but effective. Watch the featurette and you will understand the reason for the featurette first. Anders and his wife are telling the story and the featurette focuses on their story.
Mark Wahlberg stars as Pete in the movie about a childless, married couple who decide to adopt three children. Isabela Moner, Octavia Spencer, and Rose Byrne also star in the movie. Moner and Wahlberg previously starred together in Transformers: The Last Knight.
This is the third collaboration for both Wahlberg and Anders. Their other movies are Daddy’s Home, and Daddy’s Home 2.
She is very beautiful and vibrant. “I’ll Stay” is so true about families. I hope this clip isn’t blocked because of the song’s copyright.
These movie clips are fun to watch. The first one is so funny, hilarious. Enjoy!
The movie clips so how much fun this movie is to watch. Enjoy!
John Morris co-wrote the screenplay. His other movies include Dumb and Dumberand Sex Drive. At times, Morris wears the hat of producer.
The movie trailer came out after the release of the featurette.
Screenplay by William Davies, the comedy follows Johnny English, played, once again, by Rowan Atkinson, after a cyber-attack reveals the identity of all of the active undercover agents in Britain. He is forced to come out of retirement to find the mastermind hacker.
The above poster is perfect for the movie because the story takes place during Thanksgiving, and the characters are super stress over the Oath. With the knife sticking out like that in the turkey, you can only imagine where it will end up. As a dark comedy, watch the red band trailer, so you have a feel for the movie.
Written and directed by Ike Barinholtz, The Oath is a controversial subject about a White House policy that turns a family member against another family member. They become savage. But don’t take it seriously because the movie is a funny, dark comedy about surviving life that includes a Thanksgiving. This is all happening in the age of political factions.
The story follows Chris, played by Barinholtz. He is a high-strung 24-hour progressive news junkie, and his more level-headed wife Kai, played by Tiffany Haddish. They discover that citizens are being asked to sign a loyalty oath to the President.
The second poster is quite interesting because it looks like its a copy of the Oath. I find it kind of funny or perhaps it’s giving us a visual of the Oath. We what it is before we see the movie.
The family reactions are disbelief, followed by an idealistic refusal. But as the Thanksgiving deadline to sign approaches, the combination of sparring relatives, Chris’s own agitation and the unexpected arrival of two government agents, played by John Cho and Billy Magnussen, sends an already tense holiday dinner gathering completely off the rails.
The movie clip “Wishes I Would” shows the premise of the movie, which is totally a dark comedy.
Another poster arrived from the studio. The black hand with the American flag as its sleeve bleeding is an interesting take on how the movie views government intervention.
Another poster “Sign or Die” surfaced and these are interesting because they tell us the movie theme. They are kind of silly but the movie is a comedy, so it fits.
Barinholtz is known for his acting talents in such movies as The Blockers and The Disaster Artist. Both of these movies are over the top dark comedies. The Oath is most likely similar.
The second trailer offers more insight into what is so funny about racism, politics, and ignorant people. This is Facebook comments in a movie.
As contemporary as it is outrageous, watch the trailer, the movie is a gleefully wicked reinvention of the traditional holiday comedy for our dysfunctional political times.
Written and directed by Drew Goddard, Bad Times at the El Royale follows seven strangers, each with a secret to bury. They all meet at Lake Tahoe’s El Royale. The El Royale is a seedy rundown hotel with a dark past.
During the course of one fateful night, everyone will have the last shot at redemption, which appears to be a laughable venture for all of them. The reason I say appears is because watching the trailers, all goes to hell in a handbasket.
The cast is dynamite starring Jeff Bridges, Chris Hemsworth, Jon Hamm, Dakota Johnson, and Cynthia Erivo.
Directed by Donald Petrie, who also directed such romantic comedies as How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and Miss Congeniality brings a playful story of the Romeo and Juliet theme. The tried and true them takes place in Little Italy in New York City.
The two families at odds are owners of rival pizzerias. Instantly, I can think of all sorts of fun puns to add to this article about the movie. I am going to give it to you straight. The story follows two former childhood friends Leo, played by Hayden Christensen, and Nikki, played by Emma Roberts. Like the Shakespeare story, they are attracted to each other as adults—but will their feuding parents’ rival pizzerias put a chill on their sizzling romance. If you are familiar with the story, this particular one is not a tragedy. It is a romantic comedy. A first date movie makes it safe for a budding romance.
I am interested in seeing Christensen play a leading role in a romantic comedy since his past roles are Anikan Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise. If you recall, Anikan turns into Darth Vader. I was also impressed with his role in Shattered Glass as Stephen Glass. The young reporter who fell from grace when it was discovered he fabricated is articles.
The cast includes Alyssa Milano, Danny Aiello, and Andrea Martin.
Directed by Adam Shankman, What Men Want follows Ali Davis, played by Taraji P. Henson. She is a successful sports agent constantly kept on the sidelines by her male co-workers.
Ali is passed up for a rightful promotion, giving her an honest look at her success and future. She asks herself what she needs to accomplish success in man’s world.
By hook or by crook and a concoction from a wise witch or gypsy, Ali gains the ability to hear men’s thoughts. With her newfound power, Ali outsmarts her co-workers and races to sign the next basketball superstar.
The lengths and hurdles she goes through to pull it off will put her relationship with her best friends and a potential new love interest, played by Aldis Hodge, to the test.
Does this story sound familiar? The screenplay is by Nancy Meyers, who directed Mel Gibson in What Women Want. Released in 2000, the movie carries the same premise with Helen Hunt playing the love interest. Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Vuspa wrote the screenplay based on the story by Goldsmith, Vuspa, and Diane Drake.
Eighteen years later, What Men Want is more raunchy and ethnically diverse. Shankman is best known for directing John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Queen Latifah, Christopher Walken, and Zac Efron in Hairspray.
Henson is a dynamic actress with a strong presence on screen. Her role as Katherine G. Johnson in Hidden Figures made the movie great. She recently made a massive impression in Tyler Perry’s Acrimony.
Also starring in What Men Want are Tracy Morgan, Richard Roundtree, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Josh Brener, Tamala Jones, Phoebe Robinson, Max Greenfield, Jason Jones, Brian Bosworth, Chris Witaske and Erykah Badu.
The first trailer is funny. Enjoy!
The following trailer is funnier. I laughed and laughed. This movie is for Girls Night Out. We all go to the movie theater together and bring the house down.
Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, The Favourite comes from a true story in early 18th century England. A frail Queen Anne, played by Olivia Colman, occupies the throne. Her close friend Lady Sarah, played by Rachel Weisz, governs the country in her stead. A new servant arrives named Abigail, played by Emma Stone. Her charm endears her to Sarah, but it looks like there is more to the story.
I saw the movie and enjoyed it. Coleman is brilliant and outshines all her co-stars. Though, each star in the film is stellar. The comedy is an undercoat of crude vocabulary and bizarre behavior. If you are of faint-heart, then don’t see the movie. My daughter and I went in the late afternoon, and the audience members were over sixty. My daughter and I were the only ones laughing throughout the movie. When the lights came up in the movie house, we saw shocked faces.
Don’t get me wrong; the movie is full of British humor and fantastic pacing. Both of us are glad we went to and saw the movie. The music is a bit odd. I am not quite sure of its purpose in the film.
Lanthimos is from Greece, and he earned award recognition for his movie The Lobster, which Coleman also stars. Coleman stars as Queen Elizabeth II in Netflix’s The Crown. She is replacing Claire Foy, who won a Golden Globe portraying the younger Queen for two seasons.
The featurette focuses on the director and his quirkiness and oddball way of telling a story.
The original screenplay is by Deborah Davis, and it appears this is her first time writing for a movie. Tony McNamara also contributed to the screenplay.
TheThe featurette shows more of how the interplay of the characters works. Though the clip talks about the female leads, we get to see some of the male leads and their odd behavior.
The cleverness of these scenes and the way it shows the characters manipulating each other is brilliant. “Sometimes, a lady likes to have some fun.”
The poster looks similar to the movie poster for the movie Lizzie. I almost thought them one of the same.
The second trailer is so much more fun to watch. It is funny. I hope the story arches and makes sense in the long run.
The movie trailer indicates the movie is a comedy of sorts. I didn’t even recognize Emma Stone.
The next three clips are featurettes concerning the costumes, the cast, and the production design. It is quite interesting to find out where they shot the movie and the color choices for the costumes.
The featurette covers the cinematography, which is fantastic, with wide-angle lenses. Robbie Ryan shares details of how he shot the wide-angle scenes while setting up each shot.
Directed by Jessie Perez, Juliet, Naked follows Annie, played by Rose Bryne, the long-suffering girlfriend of Duncan, played by Chris O’Dowd. Duncan is not willing to commit to a relationship, get married, settle down, and have children. Added to that, Duncan is obsessed with Tucker Crowe, played by Ethan Hawke, a faded, singer-songwriter.
Annie starts and unlikely transatlantic romance with Duncan after making an obvious cliche statement about his recent comeback song. The trio conflict begins and the story unfolds.
The movie is based on Nick Hornby’s novel. Hornby two other books, About a Boy, and High Fidelity were both made into movies as well. He seems to capture the romantic tug with a spice of realistic comedy.
The movie credits a handful of screenwriters to adapt the book including Perez’s sister Evgenia. Evgenia has worked with her brother on another occasion with the movie Our Idiot Brother.
The movie is streaming and is available on Blu-ray and DVD. Now is your chance to see it or see it again.
The movie clip shows the dark side of Crowe with a conflict between Crowe and Duncan about to start. We also find out about Crowe’s several relationships resulting in children. But, his son is such a cutie.
I like the flow of this next movie clip where we can see the chemistry formulating between the three characters.
The interesting movie clip is rough but spontaneous.
The trailer pretty much tells you the story without giving away the ending.
Written and directed by David Lowery, The Old Man & the Gun is based on the true story of Forrest Tucker and his audacious escape from San Quentin at the age of 70 to an unprecedented string of heists that confounded authorities and enchanted the public.
Robert Redford, Casey Affleck, and Sissy Spacek with Elizabeth Moss and Danny Glover as co-stars.
Lowery works as both writer and director on his films. He tends to work with Casey Affleck. His credits include A Ghost Story, Pete’s Dragon, and Ain’t Them Bodies Saints.
A great featurette about the director who also wrote the screenplay.
The “The Sundance Kids Reunited” is a great featurette. It is so cool to see a story like this in the film business.
The “Playing Icons” featurette is fun to watch because it tells the story and shows how fun the movie is to watch.
The movie trailer shows more of what will happen in the movie. The cast list is stellar.
The movie trailer tells the story pretty well, and I love the scenes with Redford and Spacek.
Directed by Malcolm D. Lee, Night School follows a group of misfits who attend night school. They have a longshot of passing night school and their GED exam.
Kevin Hart headlines the movie with Tiffany Haddish, Rob Riggle, Taran Killam, and Romany Malco.
