“Angry Birds 2” Trailers, Clips & Posters

action, adventure, animation, comedy, sequels, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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.

Amazing and Remarkable Magic “Frozen II” Trailers and Posters

adventure, animation, children movies, family movies, fantasy, kid movies, sequels, , ,

Directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, Frozen II’s first movie trailer is an epic animated feature. Keep scrolling down until you have seen all the trailers. The “Let It Go” theme plays in undertones throughout the trailer. It promotes hardship, adversary, and uniting as a powerful threesome against the enemy.

Disney tells us about Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf’s journey far in the forest to discover the known truth about an ancient mystery of their kingdom. The movie is now streaming, and the Blu-ray and DVD are available.

The former cast is returning, with Evan Rachel Wood and Sterling K. Brown added to the cast list.

The second trailer is not all that different from the first. It’s incredible to watch Elsa handle the ocean with her frozen powers. That technique reminds me of Frozone in the Incredibles movies. Since both films were produced by Disney Studios, an educated guess is that the same animated team that made Frozone’s ice made Elsa’s.

The trailer shows the two sisters going on a journey to discover the truth by going to the past. The Stonehenge tells us it is a mystical journey—perhaps they go back in time like the popular book and TV series Outlander. We see Elsa’s powers are too strong.

The third trailer tells us the story. It is intriguing with all the mystical aspects of Elsa’s powers. It’s a serious story with humor by the quirky characters from the first movie that we found endearing.

“Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” Trailers, Featurette & Posters

Directed by David Leitch, the next franchise installment brings us the first stand-alone sequel as Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham reprise their roles as Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw in Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.

The movie is available streaming, Blu-ray, or DVD.

Hobbs and Shaw heaved blows at each other since they first appeared in the franchise together in 2015. Hobbs being the loyal agent and Shaw the outcast bent on breaking the law.

But when cyber-genetically enhanced anarchist Brixton, played by Idris Elba, gains control of an insidious bio-threat that could alter humanity forever — and bests a brilliant and fearless .rogue MI6 agent, played by Vanessa Kirby, who is Shaw’s sister. 

The movie boasts international-globe crossing adventure with a new flair for the Fast & Furious diehard fans.

Leitch directed Deadpool 2 and took the script from longtime Fast & Furious screenwriter. The movie looks to be another hit at the box office. Helen Mirren also stars, and her interview is next.

Helen Mirren plays Shaws’ mother.

The second trailer puts us right into the action and destruction with unbelievable, and crazy, wild stunts.

The featurette explains Hobbs’ brothers and what it means to Johnson.

“Spider-man: Far From Home” Trailer, Clips, Featurette, and Posters

Directed by Jon Watts, Peter Parker, played by Tom Holland, returns in yet another chapter, Spiderman: Far From Home.

Screenplay by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers; this time, Spiderman decides to join his best friends Ned, played by Jacob Batalon, MJ, played by Zendaya, and the rest of the gang on a European vacation.

However, Peter’s plan to leave superheroics behind for a few weeks is quickly scrapped when he begrudgingly agrees to help Nick Fury, played by Samuel L. Jackson, uncover the mystery of several elemental creature attacks, creating havoc across the continent.

Jon Favreau, who directed and had a minor role in the Iron Man movies, plays the love interest of Mary Parker, played by Marisa Tomei.

Another superhero arrives in the Disney and Marvel movies. Mysterio, played by Jake Gyllenhaal. You get to see him at the tail-end of the movie trailer. Don’t blink because you might miss him.

The three posters show different aspects of the movie and how it rolls out for the moviegoers. Spiderman is traveling with his classmates. Each poster represents a location in Europe. In the first one, we see Spiderman in Berlin.

The second poster shows him in London on the London Eye, also known as a giant Ferris wheel.

The next one is Spiderman in Venice, hanging out with the gondolas.

The following trailer offers spoilers for the recently released Avengers Endgame movie. With that, it is up to you to decide whether you want to watch this trailer.

The following clips show us what to expect when seeing the next Spiderman movie. Be careful if you have not seen the last Avengers movie because there are spoilers.

The Spiderman suits are a big deal in the movie. From this feature, it looks like he has two of them. I like the black one because he can do so much more wearing it. The red and black one is gorgeous.

“MIB: International” Trailers and Posters

Directed by F. Gary Gray, Men In Black: International follows an upstart known as Agent M, played by Tessa Thompson. She joins the group and partners with Agent H, played by Chris Hemsworth. MIB has always protected the Earth from the scum of the universe.  

However, in this new adventure, they tackle their biggest global threat to date: a mole in the Men in Black organization.

The movie also stars two stellar actors, Emma Thompson and Liam Neeson. Hemsworth looks yummy.

The third trailer tells us the whole story and what the CGI includes, with Thompson’s character stating at the beginning of the trailer, “We are a rumor.” It looks like a no-brainer and popcorn entertainment.

“John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” Trailer, Interviews, Featurettes, Clip, and Posters

Chad Stahelski directs Keanu Reeves as John Wick. They return in this third installment – Parabellum – of the non-stop action franchise about the super-assassin Wick. He’s Skyhook with a $14 million price tag on his head and an army of bounty-hunting killers on his heels. The movie trailer shows you precisely what is happening in the movie – just like the other two, but even more. It’s playing on Amazon.

After killing a member of the shadowy international assassin’s guild, the High Table, Wick is excommunicado, but the world’s most ruthless hit men and women await his every turn. The cast, including Halle Berry, Laurence Fishburne, Anjelica Huston, and Ian McShane, are extraordinary. I am so excited to see Huston in a movie.   

The Taxi clip is a bit odd, and I am not sure what it promotes to the fans of this franchise. Like the trailer, we see a lot of rain in New York City.

The next poster is colorful in an ironic way – too carefree and effervescent. It looks like he is in the tropics when most of the footage I’ve seen is in New York City.

The featurette explains the story to us. I like it. Anjelica Houston is seen briefly, but I love that she is in the movie. I hope her part is more extensive than what appears in the featurette.

Keanu Reeves is hyped about the third installment of the unique action movie. In this interview, he is obviously passionate about his character, the director, the style, and the story.

I chose Mark Dacascos and Asia Kate Dillon’s joint interview because they share Reeves’ working style with the cast and crew. They describe the story so well; it is eight minutes long with so much information in general.

The next featurette shows some astounding moves with the motorcycle chase. Seeing Reeves get so excited about a scene in his movie is fantastic.

Film legend Anjelica Huston is on the red carpet at the movie premiere. She talks about her character and the culture of the movie.

The featurette shows Reeves and Berry training for the movie. Watching the footage, they got a great workout and had so much fun.

“Avengers: Endgame” Poster, Featurette & Trailers

action, adventure, based on a book, fantasy, science fiction, sequels, , , ,

Co-directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, not much is released about the next Avenger movie called Avengers: Endgame.  People are watching the trailer and speculating based on what they see. 

The Blu-ray/DVD and streaming is available, so now is the time to see the movie again. If you are one of the few people who haven’t see the movie yet, now you can in the comfort of your home.

I am guessing that half of the Avengers who are thought to be destroyers are not, and there is a rescue attempt.  

Christopher Markus and Stephan Feeley are the screenwriters. Both are familiar writing about Marvel heroes, and both were part of the screenwriting team of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe 

Some of the cast is seen in the trailer, and some are listed on IMDB. Those listed include 
Karen Gillan, Bradley Cooper,  and Brie Larson.

Our superheroes are angst and looking to kick some super-intergalactic booty. They are bent on revenge for the deaths of their superhero buddies.

The featurette does say much about the movie but clicks on the press conference video at the end of the featurette. It will lead you to three more parts to the press conference. It’s great to hear what the actors have to say about being in this Marvel franchise.

It looks like Captain Marvel is going to save the day.

“Happy Death Day 2U” Trailers, Movie Clip & Interviews

horror, sequels, ,

Written and directed by Christopher Landon, Happy Death Day 2U follows, once again, Jessica Rothe’s character Tree as she leads the returning cast of Happy Death Day. 

The first Happy Death Day movie was a surprise hit, so Blumhouse decided to produce a sequel. The film is a horror version of Ground Hog Day. The main character lives her day repeatedly until she finds her killer.

The movie is available online. The theme moves with interesting, repeating twists and comic turns. This time, our hero, Tree, discovers that dying over and over is surprisingly more natural than the dangers that lie ahead. That means there are more dangers in the second movie.

 

I fell in love with Beary McCreary’s music for the popular Outlander series on Starz. He’s behind composing music for the time-traveling series since the first season.

As you listen to his interview, he calls the Happy Death Day franchise a “horror time travel movie.” I am sure he came up with that description from the Outlander storyline. It’s good to know he loves time-travel-themed projects.

After watching the second trailer, I admit the sequel looks better than the original movie. I figure we acclimated to Tree solving the mystery of who her killer is while dying repeatedly. The comedy of the situation is taken up a notch.

The third trailer, Trailer 2R, is fun to watch if you need a good laugh. It’s hilarious. Blumhouse produced a winner, but horror fans will miss the blood and gore.

The movie clip is a big teaser. The killer wears the baby face mask that comes off, revealing who it is. The characters get to see who it is, but we don’t. I am not even sure when it gets shown in the movie. Still, the film comes across well, and the scenes are intense.

Jessica Rothe, as Tree Gelbman, talks about the movie’s storyline and how the sequel differs from the original film.

Interview with Jessica Rothe & Israel Broussard shows the chemistry between these two actors. They share what happens in the sequel.

“Toy Story 4” Trailers, Clips, Interviews & Poster

adventure, animation, children movies, family movies, kid movies, sequels, , , , , ,

Pixar never tells us the movie’s story in its trailers. They keep us wondering about the movie’s story, which I find refreshing. The trailer for the Pixar movie Coco never showed us how the young boy had to figure out how to return to life. The movie’s trailers showed us a magical world of candy skulls and music.

Blu-ray, DVD, and streaming are available. You don’t want to miss the chance to own this movie. All Toy Story movies are classics, and this one is extra special because Bonnie is now the new owner of Woody and his gang. 

Story by John Lasseter and directed by Josh Cooley, Toy Story 4 looks like a road trip movie. IMDB posts the summary: “When a new toy called ‘Forky’ joins Woody and the gang, a road trip alongside old and new friends reveals how big the world can be for a toy.” The site hosts four videos and some fantastic images. Forky is an arts and crafts toy with pipe cleaners as arms and hands and a plastic spoon for a body, which is clever. I get it; it’s so funny.

Watching the teaser trailer, you get the idea that Forky is a little high-strung.

The second trailer is a cute little skit featuring two stuffed animals talking about the fourth installment of Toy Story. Jordan Peele is one of the voices. If you don’t recognize him, it is because he is the director of the Horror movies Get Out and Us. Thinking about it, it is hard to believe this franchise changed the film industry. We take these movies for granted, and the entertaining story of Woody and his friends.

The third trailer reveals the fourth movie. It starts as a road trip and ends in a toy playground. The craft fork is funny and cute. I noticed that Keanu Reeves is listed in the credits as “voice,” but nothing more.

I laughed so hard a couple of times while watching the movie trailer. Until I saw this trailer, my hopes for this movie were low. Pixar has done it again.

Tim Allen’s interview is funny, provocative, and informative. It is one of the best interviews out of the bunch.

Tom Hanks’s interview is interesting because he talks about the plight of being a toy and Woody’s relationship with Bo Peep.

The movie introduces us to new toys. Each unique toy has a goal and a flaw, but we don’t see many of their dreams or flaws except for Forky. He thinks he is trash and not much of a toy, but he is so cute. Keneau Reeves voices Duke Caboom. Gabby is the villainess in the story, with the ventriloquist dummies as her henchmen.

“Johnny English Strikes Again” Trailers, Featurettes, Movie Clip, and Poster

comedy, sequels, ,

Directed by David Kerr, Johnny English Strikes Again is the third installment of the flamboyant 007 comedy.

You need to take a look at the Blu-ray, DVD, and streaming movie. It’s too funny not to watch it.

Screenplay by William Davies, the comedy follows Johnny English, played, once again, by Rowan Atkinson, after a cyber-attack reveals the identity of all of the active undercover agents in Britain. He is forced to come out of retirement to find the mastermind hacker.

Here is a featurette that is entertaining.

The featurette is funny, and the VR cracks me up.

Watching the trailers should give you a chuckle.
