How did I not feature the Fantastic Four trailer sooner? Slight super hero movie fatigue perhaps.

Whatever the answer, I’m doing it now because it is rather well done. My favourite moment being when Reed Richards/ Mr. Fantastic looks up and down to his right. Isn’t slow motion a beautiful thing?

With some of the most talented actors of young Hollywood, Fantastic Four is an interesting super hero movie about – you guessed it, saving humanity. This new reboot is directed by Josh Trank and stars Miles Teller, Michael B Jordan, Kate Mara and Jamie Bell.

Two of my favourite UK actors, Michael Fassbender and Kate Winslet star in the story of Apple co-founder, Steve Jobs.

Like many, I’m already very aware of the story of the celebrated visionary, but of course, I’ll watch the film if only to take in the artistry of the actors, the magic of dialogue king/screenwriter, Aaron Sorkin and director Danny Boyle.

Another highlight is Steve Jobs the appearance of one of my favourite funny men, Seth Rogen in another serious role, this time as the other half of the Apple founding team, Steve Wozniak.

Steve Jobs Release Dates: October 23rd (US), November 13th (UK)…

Happy Steve Jobs 🙂

As unsettling as the idea behind London Has Fallen (2016) may be, the new movie directed by Babak Najafi and starring Gerard Butler, Morgan Freeman, Aaron Eckhart and Charlotte Riley looks like it’s going to be quite the spectacle.

The imagery of London actually falling is certainly horrific, but I still couldn’t help yelping with joy at the excellent execution of this teaser trailer.

Talk about haunting trailer music.

I guess it’s time to plan the viewing of the first instalment, Olympus Has Fallen (2013). Probably and quite likely.

CREED (2015): New Trailer For Michael B. Jordan & Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky Spin-Off…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Creed (2015).

I’m guessing that Rocky (1976) fans will be very excited right about now. The trailer for Creed (2015), the seventh Rocky film and spin-off from the Rocky film franchise, just arrived, and ‘promising’ is the word.

Starring Sylvester Stallone as former World Heavyweight Champion Rocky Balboa, Creed sees Balboa serve as trainer and mentor to young boxer Adonis Creed, played by rising star, Michael B. Jordan.

Fans of the Rocky films will know that Adonis Creed is the son of the late Apollo Creed, a friend to Balboa, plus a former rival – all of which makes for an interesting dynamic between the two main characters.

I’m going to confess right now to the fact that I’ve never seen any of the Rocky movies. Yes, shock horror!

However, I am contemplating finally changing that fact, and just in time to watch this new release, plus, also possibly to keep FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) at bay.

We’ll see how that goes.

Happy Film Loving,
