Directed by Anthony Maras, Pressure is a new drama/history/thriller set during the tense 72 hours before D-Day, history’s largest seaborne invasion, marking the start of Western Europe’s liberation from Nazi control.

Brendan Fraser, Kerry Condon, Andrew Scott, Damian Lewis and Chris Messina are among the key cast.

When you don’t want to watch a war movie, but the acting power involved is so strong, you may just have to. That’s where I am right now.

Admittedly, part of what’s swaying me to see this is how much I loved Andrew Scott’s small role but mighty performance in Sam Mendes’s 1917 (2019). His part in Pressure is far from small, and that’s what’s so exciting about it; he has more screen time to delight and move us with his performance.

What is your appetite like for this particular war movie?

Henry Ashton, Con O’Neill, Tamsin Topolski, Daniel Quinn Toye, Wil Coban, Michael Benz, Harrison Osterfield, Richard Clothier, Joshua Hill, Charles Camrose and Patrick Flannery also star.

Pressure Release Dates: May 29th, 2026 (US), September 9th, 2026 (US)…

Based on the true story of Amanda Ogle, new drama Tow stars Rose Byrne as a homeless woman who fought her way out of tow-company hell.

Octavia Spencer and Ariana DeBose are among the key cast, while Stephanie Laing directs.

The feel-good happy ending. That’s my reason. And to see Spencer on screen again, because it’s been too long.

WAKE UP DEAD MAN – A KNIVES OUT STORY (2025): The Things I Liked…

4 Comments

Writer/director, Rian Johnson’s Wake Up Dead Man – A Knives Out Story does what the Knives Out franchise does best, deliver fun, well-executed murder mysteries that have you looking forward to the next instalment. 

Starring Daniel Craig as detective Benoit Blanc, this time the scene of the murder is a small-town church with a dark history, arguably an immediately intriguing setting.

Also starring Kerry Washington, Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin and Mila Kunis, in true Knives Out style, the well-titled Wake Up Dead Man has several twists and turns. You won’t see most of them coming, though you may guess a couple.

If you enjoyed Knives Out (2019) and Glass Onion – A Knives Out Story (2023), then don’t hesitate to watch Wake Up Dead Man. The quality and fun are still there. Plus, O’Connor and Brolin are especially great.

Lastly, I have a feeling you won’t want to miss out on that super delicious punch at the beginning.

Happy Film Loving,

IS GOD IS (2026): New Trailer Starring Vivica A. Fox, Sterling K. Brown, Mallori Johnson, Janelle Monáe, Kara Young…

4 Comments

From writer/director Aleshea Harris, Is God Is is a new drama/mystery about the epic revenge quest of two sisters, one that stars Vivica A. Fox, Janelle Monáe, Sterling K. Brown, Kara Young and Mallori Johnson.

Epic seems to be the right word for this one.

Should I be concerned that so many of the movies exciting me this year are super violent?

It’s no secret that well-executed vengeance stories are among my favourites, and they rarely come without brutality. Still, there seems to be a real concentration of them in 2026. For example: The Bluff (2026), They Will Kill You (2026), Ready or Not 2 (2026), and now, Is God Is.

Maybe there was a dearth of violent films in recent years, and they’re now simply arriving all at once. Or perhaps it’s somehow a sign of the times. Either way, I’m here for the cinematic spectacle.

Xavier Nealy-Davis, Mykelti Williamson, Erika Alexander, Janelle Monáe, Xavier Mills, Josiah Cross, Justen Ross, Rhonda Johnson Dents, Lena Clark and Mark Druhet also star.

Is God Is Release Dates: May 15th, 2026

PEAKY BLINDERS – THE IMMORTAL MAN (2026): New Trailer Starring Cillian Murphy, Barry Keoghan, Rebecca Ferguson, Stephen Graham…

Directed by Tom Harper and written by Steven Knight, Peaky Blinders – The Immortal Man is a continuation of the story of Thomas Shelby

Shelby is the main character in the hit 6-season series Peaky Blinders (2013-2022), a 1900s England-set gangster family epic starring Cillian Murphy.

Additional key cast includes Barry Keoghan, Rebecca Ferguson and Stephen Graham

If the success of the series is anything to go by, this should be worthwhile. It is Murphy, Graham and Keoghan who are always great, after all.

Have you seen the Peaky Blinders series? I haven’t, and I’m guessing it’s enjoyed more by male audiences

Sophie Rundle, Tim Roth, Ruby Ashbourne Serkis, Ned Dennehy, Jay Lycurgo, Packy Lee, Sam Baker Jones, Martin Angerbauer, Ian Peck, Mark Wilkinson, Spencer Elcock, Mauricio Knipp-Armijo and Jasna Anderson also star.

Peaky Blinders – The Immortal Man Release Dates: March 20th, 2026 (US & UK)…
