Directed by Johannes Roberts and co-written by Bryan Bertino and Ben Ketai, The Strangers: Prey at Night follows a family on a road trip as it turns into a dangerous horrific trip when they arrive at a secluded mobile home park. The plan is to stay with relatives but find the place deserted, which is as puzzling as most horror movie stories play to the end.
Under the creepy night of darkness, three masked psychopaths pay them a visit to test the family’s limit, as it drove them to the verge of insanity as they struggle to survive.
They inspired the horror movie after the 2008 horror winner, The Strangers, about a young couple being tested by three masked assailants. Bertino directed and co-wrote the movie, and co-wrote Prey at Night.
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.
Written and directed by Ol Parker, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again brings us Meryl Streep as Donna, Julie Walters as Rosie and Christine Baranski as Tanya, Amanda Seyfried, and Dominic Cooper reunite as Sophie and Sky, while Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgård, and Colin Firth return to play Sophie’s three possible dads: Sam, Bill, and Harry.
The film goes back and forth in time to show how relationships forged in the past resonate in the present, the newest cast member from Downton Abby, Lily James will play the role of Young Donna. Filling the roles of Young Rosie and Young Tanya are Alexa Davies and Jessica Keenan Wynn. Young Sam will be played by Jeremy Irvine, while Young Bill is played by Josh Dylan and Young Harry is played by Hugh Skinner.
This movie poster shows, pretty much, the whole cast. They look like they are having a great time. That can only mean the movie is going to be a blast with new Abba songs.
These costumes are so wild and fun. Every Halloween women or men will be wearing Mamma Mia! costumes.
The movie clip below is about Lily James playing the younger Donna in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. Both James and Meryl Streep praise each other. We learn that James can belt a song out.
Cher sings Fernando while dancing with Andy Garcia. I am so excited this will make the movie rumble.
The second trailer offers more information about the story. I wonder how much is in the present and how much is in the past. Flashbacks are fun.
The below clip is about the production wrapping up and letting us know when the sequel will be in the movie theaters.
Grammy TV Spot is over a minute.
This trailer has a special appearance by Cher. Guess who she plays in the story?
Directed and co-written by Gary Ross, Ocean’s 8 follows Danny Ocean’s estranged sister, Debbie, played by Sandra Bullock, who attempts to pull off the heist of the century at New York City’s star-studded annual Met Gala. Her first stop is to assemble the perfect crew: Lou, Rose, Daphne Kluger, Nine Ball, Tammy, Amita, and Constance. These roles are played part and parcel by Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter and Dakota Fanning in an undisclosed role.
Directed by Stefano Sollima, Sicario 2: Soldado follows the drug war on the US-Mexico border, which has escalated as the cartels have trafficked terrorists across the US border. Federal agent Matt Graver re-teams with the mercurial Alejandro to fight the war. The movie stars Josh Brolin, Benicio Del Toro, and Matthew Modine.
The featurette explains the movie and how the title relates to the storyline.
The third trailer shows more of what is going on in the story. It’s not as long, but it’s good.
The movie trailer tells more about the movie. My first thought was that he was trying to save the girl, which was intense.
I like the original movie with Emly Blunt, though the ending was empty with platitudes. Still, Blunt did a great job. I will continue to enjoy her films.
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.
Watching the 63-second trailer offers the same flavor as the other franchise movies. Only this time, they are married, and she has just now learned about his (their) private jet.
No surprises, but another trailer will arrive soon, and I will do my best not to miss its release.
Another poster I find appealing because this is what the movie is all about getting his shirt off and more.
The Blu-ray/DVD is hitting the streets with excellent packaging of all three Fifty Shades of Grey movies. If you haven’t seen the film yet, now is the time in the privacy of your own home.
The Blu-ray/DVD versions are unrated with over 30 minutes of never-before-seen bonus content, including a deleted scene, cast interviews, and behind-the-scenes features.
Here are some sexy clips from the movie where Christian takes off his shirt again, and Ana confronts the architect who has designs for Christian. Oh, there is one clip where Ana adds ice cream to Christian’s bare chest.
Nice and long TV spot. Enjoy.
The following trailer jumps around a lot and keeps us guessing about the story. We know one thing. They get married, but it’s not all blissful.
Directed by Trish Sie, the cast just keeps getting larger and larger with an impressive list of talent.
Now graduated from college and out in the real world where it takes more than a cappella to get by, the Bellas return in Pitch Perfect 3, the next chapter in the beloved series that has taken in more than $400 million at the global box office.
After the highs of winning the World Championships, the Bellas find themselves split apart and discovering there aren’t job prospects for making music with your mouth. But when they get the chance to reunite for an overseas USO tour, this group of awesome nerds will come together to make some music, and some questionable decisions, one last time.
The Blu-ray/DVD hit the streets, so if you missed the movie in theaters, and now you can buy the movie for real. The package includes new songs.
Comparing the Blu-ray cover with the movie poster, the yellow background makes the movie seem lighter not as dark or foreboding.
Perhaps, shoppers are likely to pick up a lighter colored package than a darker one.
Directed by Danny Boyle about 20 years ago, Trainspotting was a cult sensation that launched Ewan McGregor’s career and Boyle’s. Boyle won an Oscar for directing Slumdog Millionaire.
Now, Boyle and McGregor have teamed up again with the sequel to Trainspotting. What you get to see is first there was an opportunity……then there was a betrayal. Twenty years have passed. Much has changed, but just as much remains the same. One thing, there are social media and devices, but there are still enemies.
The movie is available on Amazon and other streaming platforms.
Mark Renton, played by McGregor, returns to the only place he can ever call home. They are waiting for him. If you have seen the first movie, you know they are Spud, played by Ewen Bremner, Sick Boy, played by Jonny Lee Miller, and Begbie, played by Robert Carlyle.
Other old friends are waiting too with emotions like sorrow, loss, joy, vengeance, hatred, friendship, love, longing, fear, regret, diamorphine (Heroin), self-destruction and mortal danger. They are all lined up to welcome him, ready to join the dance.
Directed by Johannes Roberts and co-written by Bryan Bertino and Ben Ketai, The Strangers: Prey at Night follows a family on a road trip as it turns into a dangerous horrific trip when they arrive at a secluded mobile home park. The plan is to stay with relatives but find the place deserted, which is as puzzling as most horror movie stories play to the end.
