The movie also stars Brooke Shields, Carrie Preston, and Iwan Rheon.
It’s about time! Incredibles is one of my favorite Pixar movies. I wonder if the movie will be able to hold its uniqueness because the first movie had a clever twist. Superheroes were against the law. It’s interesting how Pixar will simply insert a similarity to something treacherous that happened in our history as an incredible animated movie that appears innocuous.
The logo being altered by Jack-Jack is clever and is the handwriting on the wall that is telling us Incredibles 2 will be a great and entertaining movie. I am excited.
The poster shows many aspects of the sequel storyline. The one that has my interest is the creature at the top of the poster with the blue-flamed bulging eyes and arms menacingly reaching out.
Titled Rising Son with the same talented voices Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) is left to navigate the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life, giving him an opportunity to bond with his younger son, Jack-Jack, whose superpowers are emerging—much to Dad’s surprise.
The third trailer is so funny. True to Brad Bird’s style of constant activity and funny situations. This trailer will have you laughing in no time. Make sure you watch it until the end because you get to see the bad guy. The movie poster shows him but the trailer shows more of what he looks like and can do. It looks like he is hypnotizing people through television. Only Bird could pull a parody like that off – subtle hint.
Either way, here are some clips as a reminder of what a great movie it is or to entice you to see the movie.
Of course, the trailer has funny bits about adolescence and Common Core Math. There are some funny lines at the very end, too. “You better be back ASAP!”
Fun movie trailer to watch is the best way I can describe it. Jack-Jack is going to steal the show. The reference to Common Core math is hilarious and so true.
Directed by Ava DuVernay, A Wrinkle in Time is based on a wonderful and timeless book by Madeleine L’Engle. My daughter read her book with awe and excitement. The timeless classic came to the screen before in the 1980s. The technology at the time failed to bring the magical story to life.
A Wrinkle in Time Blu-ray/DVD hit the streets. So, if you haven’t seen it yet, nows your chance.
Now, the audience will be able to view the dimensions of time and space, examining the nature of darkness versus light and, ultimately, the triumph of love. Through one girl’s transformative journey led by three celestial guides, we discover that strength comes from embracing one’s individuality and that the best way to triumph over fear is to travel by one’s own light.
The movie’s cast is stellar with Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Michael Pena, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Zack Galifianakis, and Chris Pine.
DuVernay is a woman of many firsts in the movie industry as a director and screenwriter. In 2012, she won Best Director for her second feature Middle of Nowhere at Sundance becoming the first African-American woman to win the award. For her work in Selma, she was the first black female director to be nominated for a Golden Globe Award and the first black female director to have her film nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. A Wrinkle in Time exceeds a budget of $100 million, making her the first black woman to direct a live-action film with a budget of that size.
The movie’s screenwriter, Jennifer Lee, is best known as the writer and director of the Disney’s Frozen, for which she earned an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
The interview with the director, Ava DuVernay, who tells the storyline and describes each character and how each actor plays the role. This is a must watch and very informative interview.
The second trailer shows more of the storyline. The CGI is pretty awesome looking. I just hope there are no pan shots of CGI.
Winnie the Pooh will always be in the soul of children of all ages. There is something about Pooh’s innocence that draws readers to his adventures. Watch these trailers, featurettes, and interviews; audiences will gain a deeper understanding of the reasons for A.A. Milne’s stories about these awkward and unique animals in the forest.
Directed by Timothy Reckart, The Star follows a small but brave donkey named Bo, voiced by Steven Yeun. He yearns for a life beyond his daily grind at the village mill. One day, he finds the courage to break free, and finally, he goes on his dream adventure.
On his journey, he teams up with Ruth, voiced by Aidy Bryant, a loveable sheep who has lost her flock and Dave, voiced by Keegan-Michael Key, a dove with lofty aspirations. Along with three wisecracking camels and some eccentric stable animals, Bo and his new friends follow the Star and become unlikely heroes in the most incredible story ever told—the first Christmas.
These are fun to watch, but their language is a bit too modern for the time period.
Enjoy the Vignette about the voice actor for Bo, the donkey.
The new animated short Puppy! directed by Hotel Transylvania‘s Genndy Tartakovsky, is attached to The Emoji Movie. In the short, the residents of Hotel Transylvania find their world turned upside down when youngster Dennis gets a surprise monster-sized pet.
Directed by Todd Haynes and based on Brian Selznick’s novel, Wonderstruck follows Ben, played by Oakes Fegley, and Rose, played by Millicent Simmonds. They are children from two eras who secretly wish their lives were different.
Ben longs for the father he has never known, while Rose dreams of a mysterious actress whose life she chronicles in a scrapbook.
When Ben discovers a puzzling clue in his home and Rose reads an enticing headline in the newspaper, both children set out on quests to find what they are missing that unfold with a mesmerizing balance between them.
The trailer looks excellent, and Selznick wrote the screenplay.
A new clip and poster make me even more excited about this movie. It was such a great book.
Directed by Jake Kasdan, son of Lawrence Kasdan (Body Heat), who also directed Bad Teacher, Zero Effect, and Sex Tape, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle follows a breakfast club theme where four teenagers end up as avatars in the Jumanji game.
The teenagers discover an old video game console with a game they’ve never heard of, they are immediately thrust into the game’s jungle setting, into the bodies of their avatars, played by Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan. Nick Jonas plays one on the teenagers. The trailer is fun to watch since the avatars are against type.
What teenagers discover is that you don’t just play Jumanji –Jumanji plays you. They’ll have to go on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, or they’ll be stuck in the game forever. If you haven’t seen the first Jumanji, then you wouldn’t know how to play the game.
I have to mention the first move because it is awesome and still available with Robin Williams and Kirsten Dunst starring.
The newest poster is funnier. It really shows the characters. This could be a fun movie because giving it a Christmas release date shows the studios are banking on it being successful at the box office. But, box office success doesn’t always mean a fun movie.
Directed by Michael Gracey, The Greatest Showman stars the talented cast, including Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson, and Zendaya. The original songs by the Oscar Winning lyricists for the movie La La Land are Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.
The trailer is so upbeat and promising. I know there will be no letdown at the box office or a disappointment in the movie theaters.
The story follows Jackman’s character Inspired by the imagination of P.T. Barnum. The trailer shows off an original musical that celebrates the birth of show business while telling a magical story of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation.
The Blu-ray and DVD have hit the streets and is available if you want to see the movie again or you haven’t seen it yet. Now it is your chance. My daughter saw the film for the first time while flying from Atlanta to Sacramento. She said the music was phenomenal, and Zac Efron was outstanding.
I just saw it last night and wish the second act was stronger but loved the music. I have to admit. I became interested in P.T. Barnum’s life. I did a little research and discovered his life is worth telling, and it is a story to be said – fantastic character.
This trailer shows a more modern twist in the music. Interesting way, it might grab the attention of younger audiences like teenagers.
Directed by Ryan Coogler, Black Panther follows T’Challa, played by Chadwick Boseman, who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king.
But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.
The Blu-ray and DVD arrive on the streets. The movie is streaming. The trailer after the movie clips gives all the details, and if you haven’t seen the movie yet, you are in for a treat.
The movie clips are epic and are fun to watch while you wait to see the Blu-ray and DVD.
