Acclaimed photographer Lynn Davis, and director of Yale University’s Climate Change Communication Project, Tony Leiserowitz, are at the centre of new documentary Meltdown.

Directed by Fredric Golding and focused on the extraordinary convergence of art and science, Meltdown promises perspectives on the world’s most pressing issue, Climate Change.

First and foremost, I’m in for the breathtaking footage of the icebergs. My plan being to take in all the visuals before it all melts away. And especially because going to cold climates has never been my favourite type of tourism.

Meltdown Release Dates….

WANDAVISION (2021): Episodes 3 & 4 – The Things I Liked…

Following my disappointment with episodes one and two of Marvel’s WandaVision, I decided to wait for the release of episode four before diving back in to see how much more engaging it gets.

Even though episode three was not great, for me, until the last few minutes, I’m glad to report that the fourth episode is much better and more reflective of what I’d hoped for with one and two.

The cast is fantastic; from Teyonah Parris, to Paul Bettany, Katheryn Hahn, Kat Dennings and of course, Elizabeth Olsen; who emits pain through her eyes so very well.

Am I still mad that the first two episodes and most of the third felt like a waste of my time? Only a little; especially since, unlike myself, many readers of the comic books like them.

My hope now is that with the episodes yet to come, things can only get better.

Happy Film Loving,

I’m not fully loving this trailer edit, but, hopefully the actors involved will deliver something memorable overall. I know that I’ve been hoping for a good movie about the opioid crisis.

Renowned Oakland dog trainer, Jas Leverette is the star of new Netflix documentary Canine Intervention. Leverette runs Cali K9, one of the top dog training facilities in California.

Working with all breeds and using his unique training methods and techniques, each episode will feature Jas as he works with a variety of dogs and their owners to fix their obedience and behavior issues.

I can’t wait to watch the stories and see the lives that will be forever changed.

Below are just some of the quotes that got me right in the heart, and certainly excited about Canine Intervention:

‘I help the dogs, when no one else will’

‘All dogs can be happy once they’re comfortable’

‘It’s never the dog’s fault. It’s always human error’

Canine Intervention Release Dates: February 24th 2021 (US), Netflix

The Courier is a new Cold War spy movie about Greville Wynne and his Russian source as they try to put an end to the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Directed by Dominic Cooke; Benedict Cumberbatch, Merab Ninidze, Rachel Brosnahan and Jessie Buckley star.

I’m intrigued because of Brosnahan and Cumberbatch. However, deep down I’m quite sure that The Imitation Game (2014) will always be my favourite Cumberbatch war/spy movie.

James Schofield, Merab Ninidze, Vladimir Chuprikov, Anton Lesser, Angus Wright, Miles Richardson and Keir Hills also star.

The Courier Release Dates: March 19th, 2021 (US)…

Happy Film Loving,
