“The Instigators” Poster and Trailer

Apple TV, comedy, crime, , ,

Doug Liman directed The Instigators. The story follows Rory, played by Matt Damon, and Cobby, played by Casey Affleck, who are reluctant partners. One is a desperate father, and the other is an ex-con thrown together to pull off a robbery of the ill-gained earnings of a corrupt politician.

But when the heist goes wrong, the two find themselves engulfed in a whirlwind of chaos, pursued not only by police but also by backward bureaucrats and vengeful crime bosses. Completely out of their depth, they convince Rory’s therapist, played by Hong Chau, to join their riotous getaway through the city, where they must put aside their differences and work together to evade capture—or worse.

Written by Chuck MacLean and Casey Affleck, The Instigators also stars Michael Stuhlbarg, Paul Walter Hauser, Ving Rhames, Alfred Molina, and Toby Jones, with Jack Harlow and Ron Perlman.

Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, Mission: Impossible—Fallout follows Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt once again. The story is about how the best intentions often come back to haunt you.

The movie finds Hunt and his IMF team, played by Alec Baldwin, Simon Pegg, and Ving Rhames, along with some familiar allies, played by Rebecca Ferguson and Michelle Monaghan, in a race against time after a mission gone wrong.

Henry Cavill, Angela Bassett, and Vanessa Kirby also join the dynamic cast, and filmmaker McQuarrie returns to direct his second Mission: Impossible movie.

The next poster is called “Sunburst.” The colors and characters let us know we are in for an adventure.

The poster says it all. Certainly, Ethan Hunt will work with his team to save the world from malevolence. The stellar cast is phenomenal, something to look forward to seeing in the movie theater.

The featurette talks about Cruise’s stunts and shows footage we haven’t seen yet.

The following trailer tells us about the story, filled with action, Tom Cruise stunts, and the bad guys.

I watched Top Gun the other night. Tom Cruise made that movie great. He is such a brilliant actor—and cute, too! Here, he is performing another impossible stunt.

Aerial Featurette is fantastic, with Tom Cruise flying the helicopter and doing spirals.

The movie trailer is fantastic, pure entertainment.

The TV Spot is shorter but fine.

“The Star” Trailers, Music, and Vignettes

Directed by Timothy Reckart, The Star follows a small but brave donkey named Bo, voiced by Steven Yeun. He yearns for a life beyond his daily grind at the village mill. One day, he finds the courage to break free, and finally, he goes on his dream adventure.

On his journey, he teams up with Ruth, voiced by Aidy Bryant, a loveable sheep who has lost her flock and Dave, voiced by Keegan-Michael Key, a dove with lofty aspirations. Along with three wisecracking camels and some eccentric stable animals, Bo and his new friends follow the Star and become unlikely heroes in the most incredible story ever told—the first Christmas.

These are fun to watch, but their language is a bit too modern for the time period.

Enjoy the Vignette about the voice actor for Bo, the donkey.

The list of stellar voice actors is astonishing.
