Executive produced by Steven Spielberg and featuring Morgan Freeman as the narrator, The Dinosaurs is a new documentary that dives into the evolutionary journey of dinosaurs.
We can expect a close look at their origins, ecological significance, diversification, and eventual extinction.
How smart to have Freeman as the narrator, and to mention Spielberg’s involvement just before the Shark’s demise.
I’m ready for my prehistoric science/history lesson. Are you?
Directed by Patrick Hughes, new action/sci-fi/thriller, War Machine is about exactly that, a war machine focused on killing the final recruits of a gruelling special ops boot camp.
The key cast includes Alan Ritchson, Dennis Quaid, Joshua Diaz and Richard Cotta.
I guess it’s time for my first Ritchson movie.
The plot is promising, and I’m curious to see how anyone survives the deadly chase. Hopefully, some memorable action sequences are in store, even though I’m not necessarily expecting them.
How many Ritchson shows/films have you seen?
Daniel Webber, Jai Courtney, Esai Morales, Keiynan Lonsdale, Jack Patten, Stephan James, inson, Joey Vieira, Christopher Kirby and Jacob Hohua also star.
The acting in director Yorgos Lanthimos’s Bugonia, a comedy/sci-fi movie about the kidnapping of a high-profile CEO by conspiracy theorists, is fantastic.
I thoroughly enjoyed how Emma Stone was able to completely disappear into her character, and the unexpected turns the story took, a story I partly view as a love letter to Earth and to bees.
As is typical of Lanthimos’s films, Bugonia is a mixture of humour and darkness. Thankfully for me, the shift between the two isn’t as jarring as it was in The Lobster (2015). Still, as hilarious as it was to watch some of the conspiracy theory madness unfold, unsurprisingly, it was equally sobering. In fact, there came a point after the kidnapping when I was super eager for Stone’s character’s freedom.
It may not be fully comfortable to watch throughout, but definitely give it a chance if you’re curious. It’s a good, sometimes funny story that’s so superbly acted that you’ll almost forget about the moments when the musical score is too imposing. And you’ll almost disregard a moment that appeared to be a continuity error, where Stone’s character is supposed to be limping but isn’t.
Aidan Delbis, Jesse Plemons, and Alicia Silverstone round out a seriously talented cast.
Love Story – John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette (2026), Paul Anthony Kelly, Sarah Pidgeon, FX
Sarah Pidgeon, Paul Anthony Kelly, Grace Gummer and Naomi Watts are the stars of Love Story – John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, the latest from executive producer Ryan Murphy and creator Connor Hines.
The whirlwind courtship and high-profile marriage of one of the most iconic couples of the 20th century, John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, is at the heart of this 9-episode series
Well-made is how this looks. Congrats to the trailer editor(s) and those in charge of casting.
Since this clearly isn’t a documentary, I wonder which parts of the story the writers have taken liberties with and invented.
I’ll likely be watching something more cheerful around Valentine’s Day, but I probably will get to this at some point.
How’s this looking to you?
Naomi Watts, Ben Shenkman, Alessandro Nivola, Erich Bergen, Sydney Lemmon, Lily Lester, Noah Fearnley, Dree Hemingway, Richard Hollis, Aaron Dean Eisenberg, Leila George, Ronan Alexander Moriarty, Tonatiuh, Omari K. Chancellor and Adam Grupper also star.
The official trailer for director Antoine Fuqua’s Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, has arrived.
Bring on the music and all the great performances. I’m also ready for all the strong history-making characters here.
Lastly, I look forward to watching Michael follow his heart to bring to light all his musical ideas.
May the prosthetics only prove to be minimally distracting, if at all.
Miles Teller, Jaafar Jackson, Nia Long, Colman Domingo, Kat Graham, Larenz Tate, Juliano Krue Valdi, Tony von Halle, Derek Luke, Jessica Sula, Hank Northrop, Joe Gillette, Laura Harrier, Nathaniel Logan McIntyre and Joseph David-Jones also star.
