Writer/director James Grey’s latest is Paper Tiger, a new crime/drama/thriller starring Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson and Miles Teller.

Teller and Driver are brothers whose bond is tested when they’re caught up in a dangerous Russian mafia scheme while pursuing the American Dream.

Gritty feels like the right word for this one. Films like The Godfather (1972–1990) trilogy and The Drop (2014) came to mind as this trailer played.

I’m into the performances more than witnessing the trauma-inducing shenanigans the characters will inevitably endure.

I certainly have no idea how much screen time they’ll share, but it’s great to see Johansson and Driver in a film together again. Their first collaboration, of course, was the rather impressive Marriage Story (2020).

Has Paper Tiger drawn you in, too?

Roman Engel, Yves Garvy, Gavin Goudey, Cindy Katz, Victor Ptak, Raphael Corkhill, Joel Marsh Garland, Rosslyn Luke and Meredith Holzman also star.

Paper Tiger Release Dates: November 20th, 2026 (US)…

LAST SEEN (2026): New Trailer Starring Patrick Brammall, Maxine Peake, Brendan Cowell, Daniel Henshall,…

2 Comments

A father whose daughter disappeared years ago receives a call while working as a police dispatcher. The kind of call that sets him off on a relentless quest to find her.

Directed by Christian Schwochow, Patrick Brammall, Maxine Peake, Daniel Henshall and Brendan Cowell are among the key cast.

Hello, nightmare!

My reason for watching is that I need to see such a story end well, so that I can get the same relief and satisfaction I felt from the way Taken (2008) ended. Sometimes we need movies to give us a happy ending. Especially during the times when it feels as though reality keeps letting us down.

I’m also looking forward to some good performances, especially considering Peake’s involvement.

VISIONQUEST (2026): New Trailer Starring Paul Bettany, James Spader, Diane Morgan…

11 Comments

Marvel’s Vision character has a new eight-part series where he’s faced with several challenges as he tries to regain his memory and his humanity.

Created by Terry Matalas, James Spader, Paul Bettany and Diane Morgan are among the key cast.

I can tell that this isn’t really for me, especially since I didn’t love WandaVision (2021).

There is one thing that appeals, however, and that’s Ultron, a.k.a. the most exciting character in the trailers for Avengers – Age of Ultron (2015). Sadly for me, Ultron is also the character that’s barely featured in the finished Avengers film.

One more reason this definitely isn’t for me? As per 00:52 seconds into this new trailer, Ultron is allowed to ‘appear only in human avatar form.’ So, once again, there will not be as much Ultron as I’d like. I guess all that’s left to say is… Have fun, Vision fans!

Emily Hampshire, Ruaridh Mollica, James D’Arcy, Orla Brady, T’Nia Miller, Lauren Morais, Todd Stashwick, Cristian Lavin and Antonio Bustorff also star.

VisionQuest Release Dates: October 14th, 2026 (US & UK)…

SHOOTER (2007): The Things I Liked…

6 Comments

Directed by Antoine Fuqua of Training Day (2001), Shooter is an action/thriller I’ve wanted to watch for a while.

Starring Mark Wahlberg as Bob Lee Swagger, an expert marksman who finds himself framed for an assassination, Fuqua’s film is quite a satisfying watch. And Wahlberg is as convincing an action movie lead as ever.

I enjoyed the story and pacing, but admittedly, Shooter is no Training Day. In fact, I will declare once again that I’ll likely never get over how well-told a story Training Day is. And I pity the fool who hasn’t made time to see it!

I’m kidding about that last part. It’s just that I recently saw a trailer for a new documentary about Mr T. You understand.

One more thing about Shooter is that I found it quite easy to guess where the story was heading early on, even though Swagger seemingly didn’t see what was coming. I’ve since gone back to watch the trailer, which happens to give that specific element of the plot away anyway. So, I guess it matters not.

Watch Shooter if you haven’t already and you’re curious.

Happy Film Loving,

ANIMALS (2026): New Trailer From Ben Affleck, Gillian Anderson, Steven Yeun, Kerry Washington…

10 Comments

New action/crime/thriller, Animals, has Ben Affleck as Mark Kimball, a mayoral candidate whose son is kidnapped. Kimball and his wife (Kerry Washington) resort to extreme measures to pay the ransom, leading to their dark secrets being aired.

With Affleck also in the director’s seat, Gillian Anderson, Steven Yeun, Matt Gerald and Ray Fisher are among the key cast.

The story is intriguing enough, and hopefully everything works out for the Kimball family. But mostly, I just want to see Washington and Affleck performing together.

I’m also looking forward to the next trailer, which I imagine will feature dialogue, not that I missed it here, necessarily.

Luis Gerardo Méndez, Adriana Paz, Taylor Cooper, Chris Gann, Christopher Woodley, Robert Gatewood, Mark Kassen, George Todd McLachlan and David King also star.

Animals Release Dates: October 9th, 2026 (US & UK)…
