New animation/adventure/romance Not Alone is the love story of Joe, a rocket mechanic, and Fran, an astro-botanist.
Starring Timothée Chalamet, Selena Gomez, and Brett Goldstein, Joe and Fran develop romantic feelings, all while three runaway aliens take refuge in Joe’s home, seeking the rocket Joe has been working on as their escape.
Directed by Jonathan del Val, Claire Dodgson and Eric Guillon, additional key cast includes Jamie Demetriou, Diane Morgan, Allison Janney and Lamorne Morris.
I love how adorable the synopsis is.
I may be forgetting a few films, but I can’t think of many animated romantic stories outside of those made by Disney, so this is extra intriguing.
The next trailer for Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Florence Pugh and Jason Momoa’s Denis Villeneuve-directed Dune movie is here.
Dune – Part Three follows Paul Atreides (Chalamet), the heir to unimaginable power, as he faces the fallout from his ascent to power.
The previous Dune – Part Three trailer was released in March this year, just over three months ago. Yet, somehow, likely because I’m still largely unfamiliar with the Dune stories, I thought this was a whole new film, not the one teased in the March trailer.
Either way, it still looks great, doesn’t it? When I do eventually get on board with the Dune movies, I look forward to the hopefully long speech Zendaya delivers, the one that starts with ‘I trusted you!‘ in this trailer. I imagine it was as satisfying to deliver as it was enthralling for me, someone who adores a great performance.
Anya Taylor-Joy, Josh Brolin, Léa Seydoux, Ida Brooke, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem and Isaach De Bankolé also star.
The Devil Wears Prada 2is one of those sequels that made me happy for the people who’d been waiting years for a follow-up and finally got one they enjoyed.
I’m not mad the sequel happened, but having now seen it, I can’t say, for me, that watching it was a fully worthwhile experience.
The exciting fashion, the behind-the-scenes look at life inside a high-fashion magazine, the fish-out-of-water story, and the humorous quips that made the first film so enjoyable all felt less special this time around. That could be blamed on having recently rewatched the original, but what’s more likely is that my cautious optimism after seeing the trailers proved wise.
The writers didn’t do a terrible job of capturing today’s media landscape. The problem is that the story they chose to tell within it felt too much like a repeat of the first film, rather than giving me a reason to be glad I was back with these characters.

While watching the film, I made a note that one of my favourite scenes was the ‘wing-woman’ moment. But as I type this, I’ve completely forgotten the details of the scene that inspired the note; not that I would ever spoil it for those interested in seeing it, of course. My memory isn’t always the best. Even so, it probably doesn’t bode well that I’d forgotten one of my favourite moments so quickly.
Additionally, perhaps I’m growing cynical, but did I believe the scene when a certain character was finally recognised for their contribution? No, because it felt more like a convenient way to wrap up everyone’s story with a happy ending instead of showing the outcome that seemed most likely.
Lastly, the fashion in director David Frankel’s sequel isn’t bad. I just didn’t find it as exciting as the style in the first film. As you can imagine, much of the styling joy I’m referring to came from everything Streep’s Miranda Priestley character wore so well in The Devil Wears Prada2006.
Tom Cruise, Riz Ahmed, and Aetheria Angel’s latest is Digger, a drama/comedy directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu.
The story focuses on the most powerful man in the world and his goal to prove he’s the saviour of humanity.
What a beautiful celebration of a great artist. It’s incredible the number of iconic movies starring Tom Cruise. I admit I haven’t seen them all yet. But I know I’m excited to see what Digger has to offer.
After all, this trailer does say, ‘Everything you’ve done has come to this.’ Plus, the director brought us Birdman (2014) and The Revenant (2015), two films that resulted in much-deserved Best Actor Oscar nominations and a win. Perhaps it’s Cruise’s turn.
Lastly, I like the vagueness of the synopsis and how this teaser reveals next to nothing.
Robert John Burke, Kenton Craig, Emma D’Arcy, R.A. Donnelly, James Dryden, Ágota Dunai, John Goodman, Burn Gorman, Ross Hatt, Keith Higinbotham and Aoife Hinds also star.
Directed by Louis Leterrier, The Last House follows a family of four who suddenly find themselves sealed inside their home and unable to leave.
Starring Wagner Moura, Greta Lee, and Sid Edwards, the family must work together to survive as their resources dwindle and they face the mysterious, looming threat that keeps them inside.
