TRON – ARES (2025): New Trailer Starring Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Sarah Desjardins, Gillian Anderson…

8 Comments

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Tron – Ares (2025).

Directed by Joachim Rønning, Tron Ares is the latest action/adventure/sci-fi film starring Greta Lee, Jared Leto, Evan Peters and Gillian Anderson.

The story is focused on a highly sophisticated program called Ares. One sent on a dangerous mission from the digital world into the real world.

What a wonderful trailer!

All I knew before writing this post and watching this trailer was that Jeff Bridges starred in 2010’s Tron – Legacy movie, not that I got around to watching it, sadly. I was probably too busy obsessing over DiCaprio’s Inception.

This one has me excited about the characters, story and all that beautiful red in the visual effects. Plus, we are in a different time, technologically speaking, which I imagine makes the premise even more interesting, right?

How much are you looking forward to Tron – Ares?

Sarah Desjardins, Jeff Bridges, Cameron Monaghan, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Hasan Minhaj, Shalyn Ferdinand, Jason Tremblay, Brad Harder, Kenneth Seto Tynan, Cameron Park, Zahra Alani and Jay Durant also star.

Tron – Ares, Release Dates: October 10th, 2025 (US & UK)…

POINT BREAK (1991): The Things I Liked…

My Keanu Reeves appreciation period continues with director Kathryn Bigelow’s Point Break, a good action/adventure/thriller about a Rookie F.B.I. agent who goes undercover to catch suspected bank-robbing surfers. 

As a fan of both Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze, their dynamic in this movie, coupled with all the ways the story is engaging and good in surprising ways, add up to why Bigelow’s film is memorable.

I suspect that even now – thirty-four years since it was released, Point Break still has one of the most memorable endings of any movie. How very wise of me to have watched this version instead of the unfortunate 2015 remake. 

If you’ve never seen Point Break and you’re curious, enjoy this early and notable Bigelow film, long before she delighted movie fans with The Hurt Locker (2008) and Zero Dark Thirty (2012).

THUNDERBOLTS* (2025): New Trailer Starring Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell…

6 Comments

Being forced to confront the darkest corners of their pasts is what’s in store for the unconventional team of antiheroes in Marvel Entertainment’s new action/fantasy/adventure, Thunderbolts*

Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell and David Harbour are among the key cast while Jake Schreier directs.

I saw Bucky’s arm in the dishwasher and thought for a second that maybe Thunderbolts* is categorised as part comedy, which would increase my chances of watching it; it is not.

Am I still a little curious? Yes. Enough for me to go to the cinema? No. Do I still want it to be good for the super fans and, because I like Pugh, plus her accent? Yes, absolutely.

Lastly, is it likely that the most I’ll ever see of Thunderbolts* is the trailers? Indeed. Nevertheless, never say never, because, you know… The Substance (2024).

Geraldine Viswanathan, Lewis Pullman, Sebastian Stan, Hannah John-Kamen, Olga Kurylenko, Wyatt Russell, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Chris Bauer, Joshua Mikel and Alireza Mirmontazeri also star.

Thunderbolts* Release Dates: May 2nd, 2025 (US & UK)…

THE GORGE (2025): The Things I Liked…

8 Comments

Weeks ago, I doubted the quality of Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller’s latest action/adventure/fantasy film, The Gorge, purely based on the trailer. 

Luckily, especially after the recent disappointment of George Clooney and Brad Pitt’s Wolfs (2024), among one or two other movies that failed to deliver, I’m happy to confirm that I didn’t find The Gorge boring or bad.

In a story about two highly skilled operatives hired to protect a mysterious gorge, Taylor-Joy and Teller are well cast for a couple of reasons, including their chemistry. Sigourney Weaver and Sope Dirisu were also memorable.

So pleasant was my surprise to be truly enjoying The Gorge, that the following words came to mind as the movie played.

Hello, good story, special effects, and engaging execution.

Taylor-Joy and Teller sure move very convincingly as capable snipers.

Look at me liking this movie and eating my words.

Watch The Gorge if you’re curious. Perfect, it is not. What it is is fun, satisfying and romantic.

Happy Film Loving,
