Directed by Marc Forster and written for the screen by Alex Ross Perry and Allison Schroeder, Christopher Robin follows the live-action adventure of the young boy who is now grown up and apparently lost his way.
Winnie the Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood venture out to help Christopher Robin, played by Ewan McGregor, remember the loving and playful boy who is still inside.
The movie includes a talented cast with Hayley Atwell, as his wife Evelyn, Bronte Carmichael, as his daughter Madeline, and Mark Gatiss, as Keith Winslow – Robin’s boss.
Featuring the voices of Jim Cummings, as Winnie the Pooh, Chris O’Dowd, voicing Tigger, Brad Garrett as Eeyore, Toby Jones as Owl, Nick Mohammed as Piglet, Peter Capaldi as Rabbit, and Sophie Okonedo, as Kanga.
The Blu-ray/DVD will hit the streets soon with streaming available as well. What a great movie for the whole family to watch together.
What a lovely featurette, enjoy.
The teaser trailer sets up the story for us, and we can imagine what happens when Winnie the Pooh and his friends help Robin.
The full trailer says so much more about the movie. Yet, we don’t know what is Christopher Robin’s problem Pooh and his friends are trying to help solve.
Co-directed by Scott Mosier and Yarrow Cheney, Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch tells the story of a pessimistic grouch who goes on a mission to steal Christmas, only to have his heart changed by a young girl’s generous holiday spirit. Benedict Cumberbatch provides his voice to the notorious Grinch, who lives a solitary life inside a cave on Mt. Crumpet with only his loyal dog, Max, for companionship. With a cave rigged with inventions and contraptions for his day-to-day needs, the Grinch only sees his neighbors in Whoville when he runs out of food.
The story follows the problem of each year at Christmas. They disrupt his tranquil solitude with increasingly bigger, brighter, and louder celebrations. When the Whos declare they will make Christmas three times bigger this year, the Grinch realizes there is only one way for him to gain some peace: he must steal Christmas. To do so, he poses as Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, even trapping a lackadaisical misfit reindeer to pull his sleigh.
The Blu-ray, DVD, and streaming are perfect for the holiday season or anytime. You purchase the discs or stream the movies for your kids. The film is a keeper because kids love to play it over and over again.
I am digging these featurettes. They are so much fun to watch. Cumberbatch’s wit is so dry and funny, a joke.
This movie clip is funny and shows the right side of The Grinch.
This featurette is fun for the kids and parents. It’s Grinch Trivia!
The next poster only shows the Grinch and no dog. Otherwise, the newest poster is pretty much the same.
The two movie clips are so cute and fun to watch. Kids are going to love this movie.
More is added to the story down in Whoville, Cindy-Lou Who—a young girl overflowing with holiday cheer—plots with her gang of friends to trap Santa Claus as he makes his Christmas Eve rounds so that she can thank him for help for her overworked single mother.
The movie trailer shows how the narrative reads like Seuss’ book. Do the cookie reindeer eyes move?
The next poster sets up the holiday theme of the movie.
The cute but straightforward Olympics TV Spot has nothing to do with the movie.
Directed by Ron Howard, we learn about the early years of one of Star Wars most beloved heroes – Hans Solo. Plenty of posters, movie clips, featurettes, and trailers are posted here for you to peruse. You can start with the teaser trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story.
The movie boards the Millennium Falcon and journeys to a galaxy far, far away in an all-new adventure with the one of the most known about scoundrel in the galaxy. The movie is a story about Han Solo, played by Alden Ehrenreich, at the beginning of his adventures in Star Wars.
The Blu-ray and DVD are on the streets with streaming available as well. Check out the trailer promoting the next phase of seeing Solo: The Star Wars Story.
Remember, the special featurettes will be worth the purchase.
I am looking forward to having this movie package as part of my personal library. The Star Wars franchise is such a pleasure and exciting part of the entertainment industry.
Through a series of daring escapades deep within a dark and dangerous criminal underworld, Han Solo befriends his mighty future copilot Chewbacca and meets the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian, played by Donald Glover. The story will set the course for one of the Star Wars saga’s most unlikely heroes.
The screenplay is written by Lawrence Kasdan and his son, Jon Kasdan, which means it will be a great story. Senior Kasdan is very familiar with the Star Wars series. He wrote Empires Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and Force Awakens.
The also stars Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Thandie Newton, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Paul Bettany.
The next featurette came out the day of the US opening night. It offers even more information about the characters and the story.
I am posting Ron Howard’s interview because he articulates the story and cinematic approach to making a movie about Han Solo. He talks about working with George Lucas and the production team.
Becoming Solo featurette tells a bit more about the story in terms of the Empire.
Here is a super cool tour of the Falcon. Donald Glover is the tour guide.
The second trailer tells more of the story, and it appears Han Solo gets involved with some ruffians.
Twentieth Century Fox’s next X-Men movie, X-Men: Dark Phoenix, is directed by Simon Kinberg, who has written quite a few of the franchise movies, including this one.
The movie stars James McAvoy as Charles Xavier, Kodi Smit-McPhee as Nightcrawler, Tye Sheridan as Cyclops, Alexandra Shipp as Storm, Michael Fassbender as Erik Lehnsherr, Sophie Turner as Jean Grey, Jennifer Lawrence as Raven/Mystique, and Jessica Chastain as Smith.
Blu-ray, DVD, and digital streaming are available. The bonus features include a hilarious but important one-on-one “How to Fly Your Jet to Space” lesson in the Special Features section. You get hours of extensive special features and behind-the-scenes insights from Simon Kinberg and Hutch Parker, delving into everything it took to bring the movie to the screen.
New faces and a new director make for a promising movie. Kinberg is favorably familiar with the story that follows Jean Grey, played by Turner, who begins to develop incredible powers that corrupt and turn her into a Dark Phoenix. The second trailer starts off with Grey being with her mother and father. It’s a happy moment that turns to destruction and death.
The story is an extended version of the fictional Marvel Comics series penned by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Dave Cockrum and John Bryne.
The X-Men will have to decide if the life of a team member is worth more than all the people living in the world. That shouldn’t be too hard to figure out. Don’t you think?
Still, they share their existence as unique beings who are outcasts because they don’t fit in with the status quo. It will be interesting to see how the X-Men handle their rogue mutant – Dark Phoenix.
The most recent poster shows all the characters in the movie. The imagery indicates the influence Dark Phoenix has on all of them. She is a true anti-hero.
The next trailer tells us a huge spoiler. It’s not blunt but obvious. Jean is an out-of-control killing machine. The green screen and CGI effects are unbelievable. They mesmerized me throughout the trailer – some true sound editing and mixing worth experiencing in the movie theater. The box office draw is diehard fans.
It looks like she’s turned into a bad girl. The trailer explains how it happens and when it happens. The X-men want to kill her, so they can protect themselves and society. The special effects (CGI) looks pretty good, showing us all that is happening. It appears the Dark Phoenix is in a chaotic world all her own.
The next two featurettes are keepers. Each stands out as a unique reason for telling the story of the Dark Phoenix. One featurette gives us hope and introduces us to the writer and editor of the comic book series – Chris Claremont and Louise Simonson.
The next featurette shows us the history of the X-Men, though some are women. We learn that the Dark Phoenix is a huge battle for them, and the outcome is what we all want to know.
Peter Jackson is attached to this production as one of the producers. Yet, directed by Christian Rivers, Mortal Engines follows Tom Natsworthy, played by Robert Sheehan, after thousands of years civilization was destroyed by a cataclysmic event, humankind has adapted and a new way of living has evolved.
This new way is very science fiction with a twist of fantasy. Gigantic moving cities now roam the Earth, ruthlessly preying upon smaller traction towns. Natsworthy comes forth from a Lower Tier of the great traction city of London. The movie finds him fighting for his own survival after he encounters the dangerous fugitive Hester Shaw, played by Iceland actress Hera Hilmar. Both are completely opposite in views and purposes, but their paths crossed anyway. They build an unlikely alliance that is destined to change the course of the future.
After viewing the featurettes and interviews with the actors, director, and behind-the-scenes talent, watching this clip is so much more real and impressive.
Composing music for a film has always interested me and this featurette is so inspiring.
I am surprised I didn’t know this movie is based on books. Here in this featurette, we hear from the author of the books – Phillip Reeve.
The latest featurette interviews the author and producers. The film is visually stunning.
These behind the scenes featurettes are for the person who is an artist at heart. My admiration for the talent behind this film is unbelievable. I am amazed at the detail and skill of each artist. The fact that Peter Jackson brought them all together to work on this extraordinary movie is so refreshing.
The featurette tells us what is happening with those engines. We learn about the lead character and how she relates to the story.
The third trailer tells us more about the story. We find out who the villain is in the movie. The CGI looks great. I just hope there are not pan shoots of CGI. That can really make a movie boring.
The featurette tells us about the movie and how Peter Jackson envisioned the story. It is better than the movie trailers.
Mortal Engines is adapted from the award-winning book series by Philip Reeve, published in 2001 by Scholastic.
The trailer doesn’t offer much of the movie, but it focuses on Shaw – a female character instead of a male character like Natsworthy. I wonder if it is because Universal understands the importance of celebrating the female role in Hollywood.
I must have watched the trailer over ten times to count how many superheroes are in this movie. Infinity of superheroes is definitely the way to interpret the title.
Then, at the very end of the trailer, we see and hear Thor say, “Who are you guys?” I like the line better in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, “Who are those guys?”
The poster is slick but doesn’t say much. When the character posters come out it will be an epic download for all the fans.
The movie will be fun entertainment, and I look forward to seeing more trailers, clips, and sound bites. Here is another poster that was released after the first one above. The latest shows all the different superheroes in the movie. I took a quick count and came up with twenty-one superheroes. Wow! Below is the second movie trailer.
Found some more information on the movie. The next Marvel superhero movie brings to the screen the definitive, deadliest showdown of all time. Just look at all the characters in the trailer. Allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe.
The Blu-ray, DVD, and streaming are hitting the streets. Now, is the time to see the movie again. We can only hope for a sequel that will save everyone.

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.
This storyline is nothing new and sounds a bit like Transformers, so I suspect this movie is for the kids at heart. The globe-spanning conflict between otherworldly monsters of mass destruction and the human-piloted super-machines built to vanquish them was only a prelude to the all-out assault on humanity in Pacific Rim Uprising.
I am interested in John Boyega of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, who stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, and Scott Eastwood of Fate of Fast and Furious. Check out this interview with Boyega.
The Blu-ray and DVD have hit the streets and the movie is streaming. If you haven’t seen the movie yet nows the time. If you are into Godzilla and Transformers, you really enjoy this movie. The battles are so awesome to watch. This second trailer is so much better at letting us know what we will discover in the movie theater.
Directed by Tony Leondis, The Emoji Movie seems rather far-fetched and unreal because it is a way out there world that does not truly exist.
Following the story unlocks the never-before-seen secret world inside your smartphone. I never thought of my smartphone having a hidden world within the messaging app is Textopolis, a bustling city where all your favorite emojis live, hoping to be selected by the phone’s user.
This story is definitely for kids because, in this world, each emoji has only one facial expression – except for Gene, voiced by T.J. Miller, an exuberant emoji who was born without a filter and is bursting with multiple expressions. Determined to become “normal” like the other emojis, Gene enlists the help of his handy best friend Hi-5, voiced by James Corden, and the notorious code breaker emoji Jailbreak, voiced by Anna Faris.
The Emoji pals embark on an epic “app-venture” through the apps on the phone, each its own wild and fun world, to find the Code that will fix Gene. But when a greater danger threatens the phone, the fate of all emojis depends on these three unlikely friends who must save their world before it’s deleted forever.
Seems like The Wizard of Oz with a twist in a smartphone. I ask, “Why can Gene just be himself?”
Directed by Marc Forster and written for the screen by Alex Ross Perry and Allison Schroeder, Christopher Robin follows the live-action adventure of the young boy who is now grown up and apparently lost his way.
