Without a cell phone and knowing she has no time to wait for police help, Karla jumps in her own car and sets off in pursuit of the kidnappers.
A relentless, edge-of-your-seat chase ensues, where Karla must risk everything to not lose sight of her son.
After watching the trailer, it is obvious the movie is an intense, action-fueled thriller.
It is hard to imagine one mother’s heroic attempt to take back her son leads her to ask herself how far she will go to save her child.

Colin T. Trevorrow is an American film director and screenwriter. He directed the indie film Safety Not Guaranteed, the blockbuster film Jurassic World, and Star Wars: Episode IX, with the latter being slated for a 2019 release. With these credits, you need to watch the behind the scenes clips of him direction Naomi and Jaeden. He is very centered and confident.
The trailer tells an awesome story about a brave boy.
Directed by Kenneth Branagh and based on the novel by Agatha Christie, Murder on the Orient Express arrives again on the silver screen.
As we climb aboard the prestigious train that starts as a lavish train ride through Europe, it quickly unfolds into one of the most stylish, suspenseful and thrilling mysteries ever told.
The movie tells the tale of thirteen strangers stranded on a train where everyone’s a suspect. One man must race against time to solve the puzzle before the murderer strikes again. A veritable director leads them with a stellar cast, including Penélope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Judi Dench, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Daisy Ridley and Josh Gad.
Directed by Miguel Arteta, the movie follows Beatriz, played by Salma Hayek, an immigrant from a poor town in Mexico. She has drawn on her innate kindness to build a career as a health practitioner in Los Angeles.

Interesting storyline and I hope it comes to a complete end where the audience isn’t left trying to figure out how to end it.
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 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.
A compelling and driven story about a time that will never be forgotten but is this movie about the true story.
From the Academy Award-winning director of The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty, Detroit tells the gripping story of one of the darkest moments during the civil unrest that rocked Detroit in the summer of 1967.
This trailer is so good, and I hope the movie is just as good.
This movie tells a story that the country needs to know. It is the truth that is dramatized for the silver screen. The more I see images and videos of this story I am in shock and amazed at the brutality of this era.
Bigelow is a fine filmmaker who can tell a true story to move the audience.
American History teachers need to encourage their students to see this movie. This incident really happened in our country.
Directed by Benny Boom, All Eyez On Me follows the true, untold story of a prolific rapper, actor, poet and activist, Tupac Shakur. The movie begins with Shakur from his early days in New York City to his evolution into a successful and well-known rapper before his untimely death at the age of 25. Shakur odds were against him, but raw talent, powerful lyrics, and a revolutionary mindset propelled him to become a cultural idol with a legacy that grew after his passing.
The trailer looks good, but as most trailers do, it tells the whole story of the movie. Shipp should look like Shakur, and I am impressed.
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.
