AVENGERS – DOOMSDAY (2026) New Trailer Starring Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr, Pedro Pascal…

9 Comments

Brothers Anthony and Joe Russo are back as directors of the latest Avengers movie instalment, Avengers – Doomsday.

Starring Chris Hemsworth, Pedro Pascal, Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr, the Avengers are to work with heroes from other worlds to confront and neutralise a cataclysmic danger.

As a non-superfan who’d already accepted the end of this generation of Marvel’s Avengers with the spectacular Avengers – Endgame (2019), I can’t help but feel somewhat underwhelmed.

I’m simply not excited by yet another return. This trailer also failed to build much anticipation for me in the way Avengers trailers usually do. My favourite remains the trailers for Avengers: Age of Ultron (2025), even though, ironically, I found the finished film disappointing, largely because of how little Ultron ultimately featured.

I suspect serious superfans are far more excited than I’m capable of being. Largely for their sake, but also for my own, I hope it turns out better than I’m expecting. After all, I’m always delighted to be pleasantly surprised by a movie, especially when the genre has me super fatigued.

Vanessa Kirby, Sebastian Stan, Simu Liu, Lewis Pullman, Tom Hiddleston, Rebecca Romijn, Patrick Stewart, Winston Duke, Florence Pugh, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Anthony Mackie, Mabel Cadena, Kelsey Grammer and Alan Cumming also star.

Avengers – Doomsday Release Dates: December 18th, 2026 (US & UK)…

I PLAY ROCKY (2026) New Trailer Starring Anthony Ippolito, Toby Kebbell, Anna, Sophia Robb, Matt Dillon…

8 Comments

I Play Rocky is director Peter Farrelly’s latest drama/biography starring Anthony Ippolito as Sylvester Stallone. It’s the story of how a then-struggling actor wrote the ultimate underdog story, and his fight to play the lead, Rocky Balboa.

Matt Dillon, Toby Kebbell and Anna, Sophia Robb are among the key cast.

This is for everyone who will never get enough of the Rocky Balboa story. In fairness, this is technically the Sylvester Stallone story. But perhaps they’re one and the same.

Apparently, Stallone’s involvement in this film only goes as far as a Zoom call with Ippolito.

We can probably expect a well-executed and universal underdog story. Will you be watching?

Erik Palladino, P.J. Byrne, Tracy Letts, Jay Duplass, Stephan James, John Patrick Jordan, Robert Morgan, Kiki Seto, Martin Fisher and Carmine Giordano also star.

OBSESSION (2025): The Things I Liked…

12 Comments

Writer/director Curry Barker’s Obsession is quite a pleasant surprise, as far as the movies I’ve seen in 2026 go. That’s unexpected, coming from someone who generally gives horror movies a wide berth for the sake of restful sleep.

It wasn’t the trailer that had me curious, but rather the title, even more so after learning of the film’s huge financial success, costing less than a million dollars to make, yet it grossed over $400 million globally.

Starring Inde Navarrette, Michael Johnston and Cooper Tomlinson, Obsession takes us along to see what happens when a hopeless romantic wishes that his crush were in love with him.

I’ll start by saying that I did not find a single dull moment as this movie played. Secondly, the performances are excellent, which is exactly what Barker’s film deserved, considering how thoughtfully and non-casually his story approached the topic of a wish. 

My only criticism is this: I know the budget was low, but my goodness, that dead-animal prosthetic at the beginning was embarrassing. 

Still, ‘Wow! Very refreshing!’ remains my honest reaction to this highlight of my movie-loving 2026.

Watch it if you’re curious. I’ve had zero nightmares post-viewing.

Happy Film Loving,

HEXED (2026): New Trailer Starring Hailee Steinfeld, Rashida Jones, Stephen Fry, Tracey Ullman…

6 Comments

Imagine being a teenager and learning that you have magical powers. That’s the predicament of Billie (Hailee Steinfeld), an awkward teen and her Type-A mother, whose lives change thanks to said powers and the discovery of a hidden magical realm.

From co-directors Jason Hand, Josie Trinidad and Fawn Veerasunthorn, additional key cast includes Stephen Fry, Tracey Ullman and Rashida Jones.

I probably dreamed about such abilities in my adolescent days, and that’s the reason for my interest.

In fact, the power of telekinesis and or teleportation would be fantastic right about now. Though, probably minus all the super witchy stuff, whatever that means. I’ll have to watch to find out.

Emilie-Claire Barlow and CeeLo Green also star.

Hexed Release Dates: November 25th, 2026, (US)…

DIGGER (2026): New Trailer Starring Tom Cruise, John Goodman, Riz Ahmed, Aetheria Angel…

8 Comments

The official trailer for Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s latest drama/comedy, Digger, is here.

Starring Tom Cruise, John Goodman, Aetheria Angel and Riz Ahmed, we can expect a story about the most powerful man in the world and his goal to prove he’s the saviour of humanity.

The instinct that told us this was weird was exactly right. That cat is quite a sight, isn’t it? And yes, a certain ‘orange being’ did come to mind as I kept watching Cruise as Digger.

Anyone else hear how much Ahmed’s dialogue at 1:36 sounds a lot like Tom Cruise, especially in Jerry Maguire (1996)?

I say bring on the comedy and peculiar shenanigans. I’m ready for truly committed, passionate performances and more.

Another thing I remembered as this trailer played is Adam McKay’s Don’t Look Up (2021). Lastly, here’s a look back at the excellence that was Iñárritu’s trailers for The Revenant (2015).

Emma D’Arcy, R.A. Donnelly, James Dryden, Ágota Dunai, Burn Gorman, Ross Hatt, Keith Higinbotham, Robert John Burke, Kenton Craig and Aoife Hinds also star.

Digger Release Dates: October 2nd, 2026 (US & UK)…
