CAPE FEAR (2026): New Trailer Starring Amy Adams, Javier Bardem, Patrick Wilson…

1 Comment

Patrick Wilson and Amy Adams play a happily married couple who face a growing threat when a notorious vengeance-seeking killer (Javier Bardem) from their past is released from prison.

Cape Fear is a ten-part crime/drama/thriller series that features Lily Collias, Samantha Clifford, Gem Marc Collins and Dot Cloud as additional key cast.

I haven’t seen the 1991 version of this story starring Robert De Niro and Nick Nolte. Nor have I watched the 1962 release with Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum.

If the trend with remakes is anything to go by, this new iteration is unlikely to be better than the earlier versions, but only time will tell because this cast isn’t at all bad.

Bardem seems to be having fun with his second, or is it his third villainous era, the first of which, for me, started with No Country for Old Men (2007).

Have you seen any of the first two Cape Fear films? If so, how were they for you?

Lily Collias, Samantha Clifford, Gem Marc Collins, Dot Cloud, Brandon Hirsch, Jay Huguley, Wynn Everett, Patrick Fischler, Evan Ivory and George Murray Jr. also star.

Cape Fear Release Dates: June 5th, 2026 (US & UK)…

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE (2026): New Trailer From Nicholas Galitzine, Idris Elba, Jared Leto, Morena Baccarin…

3 Comments

The latest trailer for Masters of the Universe, the upcoming action/adventure/fantasy where Nicholas Galitzine plays He-Man, is here.  

Directed by Travis Knight and with additional key cast that includes Morena Baccarin, Idris Elba, and Jared Leto, He-Man is the young man on Earth whose destiny involves a magic sword and a return home to protect his planet.

It’s looking better. Even more so now I’ve been enlightened to the fact that this is a movie based on a toy, and therefore is inherently silly.

Hopefully, this new trailer edit has true fans feeling more optimistic. As for me, I have no strong emotions. But I do want this to be good.

Are you feeling better after this new trailer?

Alison Brie, Kristen Wiig, James Purefoy, Kojo Attah, Stephen Adentan, Charlotte Riley, Camila Mendes, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Christian Vunipola and Sasheer Zamata also star.

Masters of the Universe Release Dates: June 5th, 2025 (US & UK)…

EUPHORIA SEASON 3 (2026): New Trailer From Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Colman Domingo, Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer…

7 Comments

Euphoria is the award-winning coming-of-age drama about a group of teenagers in the midst of the ups and downs of friendship and love, while navigating a world of social networks, sex, drugs, and violence.

Created by Sam Levinson, Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Colman Domingo, and Hunter Schafer are among the key cast.

Many a star this show has launched and elevated. I watched one season of Euphoria and had to stop. Not because it’s bad, mind you. It’s just too dark and heavy for me. Also, considering the many movies and series I’ve seen over the years, I believe I’ve had my fill of stories about young people going through dark times. As such, I’m leaving this to the big fans.

I still had to feature this trailer here because I like the edit and want to be able to find it easily in the future.

Have you seen the first two seasons of Euphoria? How committed are you to this final season?

Maude Apatow, Alexa Demie, Nika King, Eric Dane, Alanna Ubach, Paula Marshall, Sophia Rose Wilson, Angus Cloud, Barbie Ferreira, Dominic Fike, Javon ‘Wanna’ Walton, Martha Kelly and Algee Smith also star.

Euphoria Season 3 Release Dates: June 16th, 2026 (US); August 6th, 2026 (UK)…

CRIME 101 (2026): The Things I Liked…

2 Comments

Well-acted, stylish, moody, and well-paced, those are four words that come to mind as I watched Crime 101. Very easy to watch and visually pleasing are a few others.

What surprised me about director and co-writer Bart Layton’s film, which follows an elusive thief (Chris Hemsworth) teaming up with an insurance broker (Halle Berry) while being pursued by a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo), is how familiar the resolution of Hemsworth’s character’s worst-case scenario feels. It’s the one part of the film I wish had unfolded in a less clichéd and more satisfying way.

To be clear, I’m not saying that I predicted everything that happens in the last quarter of the movie, but I did see a key element of the ending coming, which is never ideal.

That said, Crime 101 may not be my new favourite heist film, as I’d hoped, but I’d still probably watch much of it again because of everything else it gets right.

Watch it if you’re curious.

Happy Film Loving,

MAN ON FIRE (2026): New Trailer Starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Billy Blanco Jr, Alex Ozerov-Meyer, Elizabeth Leiner…

8 Comments

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II stars as John Creasy, a wounded former mercenary driven by revenge after losing his only companion, all while defending his fallen colleague’s daughter from the same forces that destroyed her family.

Additional key cast includes Billy Blanco Jr, Elizabeth Leiner and Alex Ozerov-Meyer.

Unfortunately, the Denzel Washington movie on which this series is based is still on the shelf labelled ‘to watch.’ I’ll be allowing time for that at some point before diving into this series.

I’m into the The Equalizer (2014) action movie-type energy here. Additionally, my favourite thing about this trailer, so far, is the music featured. If I didn’t know better, I’d say it was Kanye West. It’s not. Because it’s actually Joznez, Ditone & Kataem.

Are you a fan of Man on Fire (2004)?

David Will No, Grace Shen, Juliana Spínola, Mursi Haynes, Kristi Monson, Bobby Cannavale, Scoot McNairy, Alice Braga, Billie Boullet and Paul Ben-Victor also star.

Man on Fire Release Dates: April 30th, 2026…
