Deep Sky brings the awe-inspiring images captured by NASA’s Webb Telescope to IMAX. You journey to the beginning of time and space, never-before-seen cosmic landscapes, and recently discovered exoplanets, planets around other stars.
Directed by Nathaniel Kahn and narrated by Michelle Williams, Deep Sky follows the high-stakes global mission to build the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and launch it into orbit a million miles from Earth. It attempts to answer questions such as: Where did we come from? How did the universe begin? Are we alone?
Thirteen billion years in the making, Deep Sky reveals the universe as we have never seen it before. It immerses you in the stunning pictures beamed back to Earth by NASA’s new telescope—and captures their vast beauty at a scale experienced on the giant IMAX screen.
Steven Spielberg directed this coming-of-age drama from a screenplay he co-wrote with Tony Kushner. The semi-autobiographical story follows Sammy Fabelmen, played by Gabriel LaBelle. Sammy is a yearning filmmaker based on Spielberg himself.
Michelle Williams plays the mother, and Paul Dano plays the father.
Co-written and directed by Bart Freundlich, After the Wedding follows the manager, Isabel, played by Michelle Wiliams, of an orphanage in Kolkata, who travels to New York to meet a benefactor, Theresa, played by Julianne Moore. Freundlich co-wrote the screenplay with Susanne Bier and Anders Thomas Jensen.
Freundlich and Moore are a real-life married couple with two children. They are working together on this film about a marriage that is about to implode.
Watching the trailer, Theresa’s husband has a past with Isabel, and it didn’t end on friendly terms. There is a young boy from the orphanage who is somehow involved in this triangle.
The next clip is intense, and the acting is superb with ingenious casting.
I am not quite sure where this movie is going. Watching the movie clips, we can see that Theresa and her husband appear to be happy together with their daughter getting married.
Something happened in the past between her husband and Isabel.
In the musical Westside Story, Maria sings Stephen Sondheim’s lyrical song “I Feel Pretty” while she fancies herself with a new dress, “I feel pretty, Oh, so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and bright! And I pity any girl who isn’t me tonight.”
Written and directed by Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein, I Feel Pretty is far from like Maria’s song. The story follows Renee Barrett, played by Amy Schumer, who doesn’t feel pretty or looks like the ingenue in a Sondheim musical.
Yet, according to her own measures, Renne struggles with insecurity because she is not the perfect woman.
Like a Hans Christian Anderson fairytale, she wakes from a fall, believing she is the most beautiful and capable woman on the planet. Her new confidence empowers her to live fearlessly. Watch the movie trailer, and you will see how fearlessly she lives. So, as the old saying goes, “Is beauty only skin deep?”
The critical point of the fairy tale is what happens when she realizes her appearance never changes.
Directed by Ruben Fleischer, who helmed movies like Zombieland and Gangster Squad, the movie’s storyline took some time to become fully available. The overall story is amazing with Tom Hardy adding his dynamic talent. You can watch the trailer and get a feel for what is happening in Venom. Each trailer gradually tells about the story, and it is cool to watch as it unfolds.
You might recall Venom in the Spider-man comics. Comic book fans will tell you that Venom arrived on the streets in 1993 with Lethal Protector. David Micheline wrote the limited series and Mark Bagley, Ron Lim, and Sam DeLarosa designed the art.
In the comic book story, it is understood that Venom turns into a complete anti-hero. Heading to San Francisco, Venom and Spider-man team up and fight some villains. My curiosity wanted to know if the movie followed the comic books. After watching the movie trailer, I doubted it, which was correct.
The first poster from the top shows a sinister and very dark character. The second poster shows Tom Hardy’s transformation. The movie is streaming now or available on Blu-ray and DVD.
One thing is for sure, the movie is about one of Marvel’s most enigmatic, complex and distinctly threatening superheroes to ever come to the comic world. Hardy stars as the destructive protector called Venom.
Michelle Williams, and Riz Ahmed star alongside Brady. At what capacity their roles are, there is no word as of yet, though in the trailer there is an indication Williams plays a former girlfriend. It seems the overall storyline is hush-hush, which is written by Scott Rosenberg, Jeff Pinkner, and Kelly Marcel.
The fourth trailer is three minutes long with a full-length frame of Venom. He is wicked and totally anti-superhero.
The second trailer is scary, like a horror movie. Tom Hardy is good as the reluctant anti-hero. The Venom looks a lot like the alien in Aliens. I just don’t like that tongue.
Directed by Ridley Scott, All the Money in the World follows the kidnapping of 16-year-old John Paul Getty III, played by Charlie Plummer, and the desperate attempt by his devoted mother Gail, played by Michelle Williams to convince his billionaire grandfather, played by Kevin Spacey, to pay the ransom.
Getty Sr. refuses, and Gail attempts to sway him as her son’s captors become increasingly volatile and brutal. With her son’s life in the balance, Gail and Getty’s advisor, played by Mark Wahlberg, become unlikely allies in the race against time that ultimately reveals the true and lasting value of love over money.
Watching the movie’s trailer, the acting is superb and the story will drive the movie. I didn’t even recognize Spacey, which is awesome. It looks like he is truly playing a different role than is usual tough guy image. Michelle Williams as the distraught mother is brilliant. I am sensing Mark Walberg is in a career-defining role.
Oscar nomination for Christopher Plummer with Ridley Scott.
The story is straight from the headlines and based on a true story. All the Money in the World looks like a winner.
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 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.
