Screenplay by Joe Carnahan and Chris Bremner and directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, Bad Boys for Life hooks us up with the Bad Boys Mike Lowrey, played by Will Smith, and Marcus Burnett, played by Martin Lawrence.
They are back together for one last ride. If you know the first movie, you know the second one is pretty much the same. The Bad Boys are older and not as light on their toes as they were in the first movie.
The rest of the cast includes Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, Charles Melton, Paola Nunez, Kate Del Castillo, Nicky Jam, and Joe Pantoliano.
Abigail Breslin, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, and Jesse Eisenberg return to fight more Zombies.
Ten years ago, Zombieland became a hit and a cult classic that was fun to watch because it is such a wisecracking movie.
Directed by Ruben Fleischer, who directed Venom, the sequel, Zombieland 2: Double Tap seems as ridiculous as the first movie with the lead cast consisting of Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Abigail Breslin, and Emma Stone. They reunite with director Ruben Fleischer and the original writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
In the sequel with Dave Callaham coming on board as the third writer, the comic mayhem continues from the first movie. The story stretches from the White House and through the heartland.
The four slayers must face off against the many new kinds of zombies that have evolved since the first movie, as well as some new human survivors. But most of all, they have to face the growing pains of their own cynical, make-do family.
The featurette tells us how the second movie differs from the first. It appears to be a lot more crazy and bazaar that the first one.
The second trailer shows how silly the movie will be in the theatres and the problem with the zombies being faster.
The movie clip shows the movie has the same humor as the first movie.
We have two more clips for you, and they prove to show us that the movie is different, including a mystery behind the copycats.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski and starring Tom Cruise, Top Gun: Maverick storyline is hush-hush, right now. But, watch the trailer, and you’ll get a gest of what is happening. All I can say is it looks like the same formula as the first Top Gun. We are fortunate to have Cruise introduce the first trailer to us at San Diego ComicCon.
Tom Cruise plays Capt. Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in Top Gun: Maverick from Paramount Pictures, Skydance, and Jerry Bruckheimer Films.
Tom Cruise plays Capt. Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in Top Gun: Maverick from Paramount Pictures, Skydance, and Jerry Bruckheimer Films.
The movie trailer says it all. The movie formula fits the original movie storyline.
The featurette takes you to another realm. Fantastic footage captured for IMAX theaters.
The Superbowl ad narration tells us there is a conflict going on between Maverick and Goose’s son. Ad narration tells us there is a conflict going on between Maverick and Goose’s son. The cuts and shots of the top guns are incredible.
Directed by Joachim Rønning, story by Linda Woolverton, and the screenplay by Woolverton, Micah Fitzerman-Blue, and Noah Harpster, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil follows Maleficent. Played by Angelina Jolie and her goddaughter Aurora, played by Elle Fanny, begin to question the complex family ties that bind them. Being pulled in different directions, they face the impending nuptials, unexpected allies, and dark new forces at play.
A fantasy story begins several years after Maleficent. The story continues to discover the different relationships between the horned fairy and the soon to be Queen. They develop more alliances while facing new enemies in their agony and hardship to protect the moors and the magical creatures that live within the forest.
The movie is available on Amazon. and I recommend you get it because it is a strong story and entertaining.
Screenwriters Micah Fitzerman-Blue and Noah Harpster worked together on the episodic show Transparency and A Beautiful Place in the Neighborhood with Tom Hanks as Fred Rogers.
The movie also stars Michelle Pfeiffer and Ed Skrein.
The featurette is short and sweet and to the point. Jolie is fantastic as Maleficent.
The next featurette tells us more about the movie and why there is a sequel. It looks like so much fun.
The next three clips show the choices each character has to make to handle the changes that are occurring in the story.

The whole gang is back for more.
Co-written and directed by Jake Kasdan, Jumanji: The Next Level brings the gang back together, but this time the game shifts.
The players return to Jumanji to rescue one of their own. They discover that nothing is as they expect. The players will face brave parts unknown and unexplored, from the arid deserts to the snowy mountains, in order to escape the world’s most dangerous game.
Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg co-wrote the screenplay with Kasdan. All three worked on Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle with Kasdan directing.
The cast includes Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, Nick Jonas, Awkwafina, Ser’Darius Blain, Madison Iseman, Morgan Turner, Alex Wolff, Danny Glover, and Danny DeVito.
Directed by Walt Dohrn, Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake return in a massive cast of talented stars to the sequel Trolls World Tour. The movie is an adventure. We follow Poppy, played by Kendrick, and Branch, played by Timberlake, to a place where they discover they are but one of six different Troll tribes. Each scattered over six different lands and devoted to six different kinds of music: Funk, Country, Techno, Classical, Pop, and Rock. Their world is about to get a lot bigger and a whole lot louder.
A member of hard-rock royalty, Queen Barb, played by Rachel Bloom, aided by her father King Thrash, played by Ozzy Osbourne, wants to destroy all other kinds of music to let rock reign supreme.
Because the fate of the world at stake, Poppy and Branch, along with their friends — Biggie, played by James Corden, Chenille, played by Caroline Hjelt, Satin, played by Aino Jawo, Cooper, played by Ron Funches, and Guy Diamond, played by Kunal Nayyar — set out to visit all the other lands. They visit the different territories to unify the Trolls in harmony against Barb, who’s looking to upstage them all.
Cast as members of the different musical tribes is one the largest and most acclaimed groups of artistic talent ever assembled for an animated film. The cast list continues with the land of Funk are Mary J. Blige, George Clinton, and Anderson. Paak. Representing Country is Kelly Clarkson as Delta Dawn, with Sam Rockwell as Hickory and Flula Borg as Dickory. J Balvin brings Reggaeton, while Ester Dean adds to the Pop tribe. Anthony Ramos brings the beat in Techno, and Jamie Dornan covers smooth jazz. World-renowned conductor and violinist Gustavo Dudamel appears as Trollzart and Charlyne Yi as Pennywhistle from the land of Classical. And Kenan Thompson raps as a hip-hop new Troll named Tiny Diamond.
Dohrn served as co-director on Trolls and is co-directed by David P. Smith and co-produced by Kelly Cooney Cilella, both of whom worked on the first Trolls. Trolls World Tour will also feature original music by Justin Timberlake, who earned an Oscar nomination for his song for 2016’s Trolls, “Can’t Stop the Feeling!”
The second trailer is fun to watch, and I guarantee you will laugh because it is so silly.
The String by String featurette shows some behind the scenes clips with Justin Timberlake. Kids will enjoy the story and watch it over and over again.
Directed by Adrian Grunberg, Rambo: Last Blood (aka Rambo V) arrives four decades after John Rambo, played by Sylvester Stallone, hitchhiked through the Northwest small town looking for a place to stay the night. The sheriff, played by the late Brian Dennehy, drew first blood, and Rambo showed him the who is most skilled and toughest.
The interview with Stallone is heartfelt and wise words from a man who knows the industry and understands the components to produce and story worth seeing.
After three Rambo movies, he is back for the final installment of the franchise. You can hear his words from the movie trailer. He becomes a man who must confront his past. He will be ruthless, using his combat skills achieve revenge in his final mission of vengeance. The studio says it’s the closing chapter of the legendary series.
Stallone calls this the last Rambo movie.
Grunberg worked as a second unit director and first assistant director for several well-known movies including Man on Fire, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. He directed the Mel Gibson headliner Get the Gringo. With his direction, the last installment of Rambo looks promising.
Matthew Cirulnick and Stallone wrote the screenplay, and Cirulnick writing credits are impressive with tons of episodic television and a few movies in pre-production.
The rest of the cast includes Paz Vega, Sergio Peris-Mencheta, Adrianna Barraza, Yvette Monreal, Genie Kim aka Yenah Han, Joaquin Cosio, and Oscar Jaenada.
Never mess with Rambo. He kicks some booty in this movie.
The movie clip promotes the release of the movie. It shows the action and destruction Rambo is known for doing. The oneliners are expected but true to form.
Directed by Tim Miller, Terminator: Dark Fate continues the Terminator franchise that launched the careers of James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and I am sure dozen others who work behind the scenes in the production.
The story attaches several writers to the screenplay with David Goyer, Justin Rhodes, and Billy Ray credited. James Cameron, who produced the movie, too, Charles Eglee, and Josh Friedman credited for the overall story along with Goyer.
The movie follows Linda Hamilton, who played the original Sarah Connor. She joins a group of misfit survivors. Their purpose to keep a particular young woman, who can save the world, alive. They eventually hook up with Arnold Schwarzenegger, who plays T-800. It appears there are many T-800s or half-human and half robots in this movie. Some are good and some not so good, downright deadly.
Cameron and the two main characters are back.
The excitement of Hamilton and Schwarzenegger returning to their iconic roles is the driving force of the franchise claiming the box office, once again. Miller established himself as a director in the business for directing Deadpool. Goyer also wrote The Dark Knight and Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice.
One-page production notes indicate the latest installment follows the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day and the cast includes Mackenzie Davis, Natalia Reyes, Gabriel Luna, and Diego Boneta. You might recognize Davis who played Tully in the Tully.
The third trailer looks inviting and entertaining. I am thinking about seeing it in the movie theater before it comes out on Blu-ray.
Watching this Spanish featurette, you can see the original Terminator storyline in the new movie. A woman is being chased by a robotic, and another robotic is trying to protect her. She needs to be kept alive to save the world. The scenes look sharp, and the acting is perfect. Call it nostalgia, seeing Hamilton and Schwarzenegger together, again, is way cool.
“Sarah’s Entrance” movie clip is perfect. She knows the lay of the land.
The feedback from people who have seen the movie is positive, and they say it’s similar to T2, which is a good thing.
The next clip is so cool to watch. We see the original Terminator, Schwarzenegger, take on the newest version.
I am so excited that J.J. Abrams is returning to direct the final chapter of the saga from a galaxy far, far away.
The standard cast is returning with some new faces, including Lupita Nyong’o, Mark Hamill, Oscar Isaac, Daisy Ridley, Keri Russell, Adam Driver, Billy Dee Wiliams, and the late Carrie Fisher.
Abrams also co-wrote the screenplay with Chris Terrio, and there appears to be a new Droid.
The red carpet interview with producer Kathleen Kennedy reveals the franchise hasn’t finished yet. Still, the other red carpet interviews with J.J. Abrams and stars talk about this being the last movie of the nine Star Wars movies.
Star Wars is a big box office winner. I side with Kennedy. The space opera stories must continue even if the next one starts with a different group of characters.
The “Special Look” shows the Star Wars past and the movie’s ending. In the middle, we see C-3PO with red eyes. At the end of the footage, we see Rey (or is it Rey) on the Darkside.
The third trailer shows a lot happening in the final movie. All of it is exciting.
Here is a TV spot and yes it advertises to purchase your advance tickets. Not a bad idea considering it will sell out in some locations. The TV spot does offer some clues to the story and new footage. Enjoy!
Directed by Thurop Van Orman, Angry Birds 2 looks cold and silly. The domestic movie trailer shows a conflict of sorts between tropical birds in paradise and a tundra bird being miserable.
Peter Ackerman wrote the screenplay, and the little dialogue I can hear in the movie trailer appears not for kids’ ears. The storyline is not clear. The sequel seems to have a bigger voice cast with new and returning talent.
The studio promises the flightless birds, and scheming green pigs take their beef to the next level. I doubt the movie will be as addicting as the app.
The movie entertains kids of all ages. The competition we see in the app happens on the screen. The more powerful birds get the accolades as seen in this movie trailer.
I haven’t played the app game in a very long time. These posters are so cute, and the bird expressions are priceless.
The studio is calling this the fifth trailer, so enjoy. It is funny and cute.
The two clips are silly but funny. The bathroom clip is hilarious.
Two more movie clips that show how cute and silly these birds can get when they set their minds to it. The first clip is my favorite.
The “Sus Sis” clip is too funny and doesn’t help me understand this movie at all.
The next two clips show how the movie is ridiculous.
