Written/directed by Byung-woo Kim, The Great Flood is a new sci-fi/adventure/disaster movie about a catastrophic flood that sweeps across planet Earth.

Starring Kim Da-mi, Kim Kyu-na, Park Hae-soo, and set in South Korea, the desperate search for a young child trapped in a flooding apartment begins.

Did James Cameron’s Titanic (1997) pop to mind for you, too? The stakes are clearly much higher here since the whole world is apparently ending, but this sure does look epic.

I’m in for the shooting style, the special effects and the story. The amount of physically taxing work it must have taken to make this movie, and do it well, appears immense. I find the premise super intriguing, meaning I’ll have to watch it. How are you feeling about The Great Flood?

Kim Byung-nam, Lee Dong-chan, Kim Kyu-na, Kim Su-Kyung, Kwon Eun-sung and Yuna also star.

The Great Flood Release Dates: December 19th, 2025 (US & UK)…

GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE (2025): New Trailer Starring Sam Rockwell, Michael Peña, Juno Temple, Zazie Beetz…

9 Comments

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is the latest action/sci-fi/adventure from director Gore Verbinski.

Starring Sam Rockwell, Juno Temple, Zazie Beetz and Michael Peña, Rockwell plays an unhoused-looking man from the future. One who’s on a mission to recruit people to help him extinguish the terminal threat of a rogue artificial intelligence.

I love the title of this one. And if this trailer is anything to go by, we have plenty of laughter, great pacing and Rockwell magic in store.

Also, given what’s shown between 1:27 and 1:31 in this trailer, there might be some scares, too. I’m just glad that horror isn’t listed as a sub-category.

May this please be a well-executed film about the dangers of AI. What do you think of our chances?

Haley Lu Richardson, Stevel Marc, Tom Taylor, Tanya van Graan, Cassiel Eatock-Winnik, Georgia Goodman, Asim Chaudhry and Dino Fetscher also star.

TOY STORY 5 (2026): New Teaser Trailer, Starring Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Conan O’Brien, Ernie Hudson…

17 Comments

Directed by Andrew Stanton and McKenna Harris, Toy Story 5 has a brand new teaser trailer. One in which a very different kind of toy arrives on the scene.

I love that they got this first teaser trailer exactly right. The world of toys has indeed changed, and Disney would be missing several beats if screens/electronics weren’t part of the toy story/experience this time around.

Fingers crossed that this fifth instalment joins Inside Out 2 (2024) as one of Disney’s better animated releases in recent years. I just know that as long as Tom Hanks is around, and long may he be, I hope that new Toy Story movies will keep being made.

I wonder if a Labubu-type toy will also be featured. Perhaps that’s being saved for Toy Story 6, assuming that’s coming.

Are you also excited for this new Toy Story movie?

Tim Allen, Conan O’Brien, Ernie Hudson, Joan Cusack, Tony Hale and Blake Clark also star.

Toy Story 6 Release Dates: June 19th, 2026 (US & UK)…

ANACONDA (2026) New Trailer Starring Jack Black, Thandiwe Newton, Paul Rudd, Steve Zahn…

10 Comments

Paul Rudd, Jack Black, Thandiwe Newton and Steve Zahn’s latest, Anconda, is an action/adventure/comedy/horror film involving huge snakes.

Directed by Tom Gormican, Rudd, Black, Newton, and Zahn are a group of friends who decide to remake a favourite movie from their youth.

Welcome, Silliness!

I may not love snakes, especially huge ones, but I do love this cast and what looks like a fun bunch of ill-advised but amusing shenanigans.

Daniela Melchior, Ben Lawson, Ione Skye, Selton Mello, Yasmin Kassim, Diego Arnary, Zak Patel, Romeo Ellard and Aimee Bah also star.

ELIO (2025): The Things I Liked…

My experience of Elio (2025), the animated adventure about a young space fanatic who desperately wants to be abducted by aliens, didn’t exactly go well.

The visuals are as rich and engaging as I’d hoped. I was honestly locked in right away, and things were fun enough once Elio finally got to Space. Yet, seemingly out of nowhere, I lost interest at the point when Elio was left to take on the space bullies.

Something inside decided that that specific hero’s journey, with those characters, wasn’t for me at that time. I suspected where the story was going to go and chose to leave it to those who are more enthused by Elio’s upcoming face-off.

I may return to Elio another time, but I’m choosing to look forward to Zootopia 2 (2025) instead, which I hope will have me fully locked in, especially since I absolutely loved Zootopia (2016).

I’m curious, did you watch Elio and have a good time?

Happy Film Loving,
