SPIDER-NOIR (2026): New Trailer Starring Nicolas Cage, Li Jun LiLamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson, Jack Huston…

New action/adventure/fantasy Spider-Noir stars Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilley, a 1930s-era, ageing private investigator down on his luck.

Forced to confront the ghosts of his past, Reilley grapples with a former life as New York City’s only superhero.

Directed by Oren Uziel, additional key cast includes Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson, and Jack Huston.

Interesting spin on the Spider-Man story, this one.

How great it is that we have the option to watch two versions of this. One in colour and another in black and white.

Of course, my default preference is always colour. However, the way this trailer uses light in the absence of it, combined with framing, is genuinely arresting. Therefore, I’ll likely start with the black-and-white version. Then, if I like it, I’ll circle back and try the colour cut too.

Are you curious about the colour versus the black-and-white experience, too?

Karen Rodriguez, Andrew Lewis Caldwell, Brendan Gleeson, Jack Huston, Li Jun Li, Abraham Popoola, Randy Oglesby, Richard Robichaux, Exandrea Pitts, George Todd McLachlan and Ydaiber Orozco also star.

Spider-Noir Release Dates: May 27th, 2026 (US & UK)…

THE DRAMA (2026): New Trailer From Zendaya, Zoë Winters, Robert Pattinson…

Zendaya, Robert Pattinson and Zoë Winters’s comedy/romance The Drama has a brand new trailer, and it looks great.

Written/directed by Kristoffer Borgli, a completely off-the-rails, wedding week, thanks to an unexpected turn, is what’s in store.

I’m desperate to know what the secret is. But I will exercise patience.

My guess is it involves some cheating to get ahead, rather than physically hurting someone. Or, perhaps it’s physically hurting someone to get ahead. I’ll stop right there.

This role was likely super fun for Zendaya to play. I have a feeling we will all be well entertained, fingers crossed.

YaYa Gosselin, Hailey Gates, Sydney Lemmon, Mamoudou Athie, Legacy Jones, Alana Haim, Michael Abbott Jr, Jordyn Curet, Peyton Jackson, Ricardo Wilkinson and Tierre Diaz also star.

The Drama Release Dates: April 3rd, 2026 (US & UK)…

CAUGHT STEALING (2025): The Things I Liked…

Caught Stealing, the latest crime/comedy/thriller from Darren Aronofsky (of Black Swan 2010), is an adequately engaging, well-acted film. It’s just not for me.

Starring Austin Butler, Liev Schreiber, Zoë Kravitz, Bad Bunny, and Regina King, I wasn’t entirely convinced I’d like Caught Stealing even at trailer stage. Still, after hearing a few friends say they enjoyed it, I pressed play.

Post-viewing, I can see why it worked for others. Set in 1990s New York City, it follows Hank (Butler), a young man who becomes entangled in a dangerous struggle to survive, thanks to a criminal acquaintance.

Part of the reason it didn’t fully work for me is the inevitable comparison to some early Guy Ritchie films (Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Snatch (2000)…), which I enjoyed far more.

I also spent a good chunk of the runtime feeling genuinely irritated by the cat owner’s selfishness and complete disregard for Hank’s well-being. On top of that, some of Hank’s decision-making left me frustrated, because his sense of self-preservation often seemed non-operational.

That said, a definite highlight, aside from the solid performances is the song that opens the film, Doom by IDLES.

Watch Caught Stealing if you’re curious. You may find that it’s for you.

New comedy/drama Margo’s Got Money Troubles stars Elle Fanning as a young mother struggling to make ends meet.

Thanks to advice from her pro-wrestling estranged father (Nick Offerman), Margo starts an OnlyFans account.

Nicole Kidman, Michael Workeye, Greg Kinnear, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Marcia Gay Harden are among the key cast.

This looks fun and brilliantly acted, and I want that red-and-yellow tiger robe.

Are you ready for the giggles in this series, which brings to mind 2007’s Juno (for one reason and one reason only)?

Sasha Diamond, Laura San Giacomo, Caitlin McGee, Kailena Mai, Enzian Schaller, Thaddea Graham and Melissa Falcone also star.

Margo’s Got Money Troubles Release Dates: April 15th, 2026 (US & UK)…

THE DINOSAURS (2026): New Dinosaur Documentary Starring Morgan Freeman…

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?

The Dinosaurs Release Dates: March 6th, 2026, Netflix…

Happy Film Loving,
