Read my spoiler-free movie review of Hell & Back (2015).
So, this looks wonderfully nuts.
The Tom Gianas and Ross Shuman directed fun fest is out October 2015.
The cast includes comedy favourites Danny McBride, Michael Pena, Mila Kunis, Susan Sarandon, T.J. Miller and Jennifer Coolidge.
I for one cannot wait. Fingers crossed that the end result will prove worthwhile.

I knew I’d end up watching Home, if only because of Jim Parsons, an actor rightly celebrated for his portrayal of Sheldon Cooper in CBS’ big hit, The Big Bang Theory.
Also starring Rihanna, Steve Martin, Jennifer Lopez and directed by Tim Johnson, Home centres around a cute purple alien called Oh and his friendship with earthling girl, Tip (Rihanna).
The Boov, Oh’s alien race are undeniably cute, and Home has several amusing moments – my favourite being when Oh learns about dancing. The way the story of the Gorg is concluded at the end is also great.
You may find the ‘bad English’ or the interesting way that the Boov speak quite annoying. I sure did at first. But now, after a second viewing, the word adorable comes to mind instead.
The story is engaging, However, don’t be surprised if you get the urge to watch The Big Bang Theory as Home plays. Something to do with the pace of Home, perhaps. It could also be more about the power of the brilliant character that is… my dearest ‘Shelley Cooper!’

Hotel Transylvania 2, written by and starring Adam Sandler looks like plenty of fun.
I love that the ‘little monster’ is reminiscent of the completely adorable and mischievous triplets from Disney’s Brave (2012).
No idea how it happens that I actually haven’t seen Hotel Transylvania (2012). So, now I know what I’m doing this Sunday evening.
Luenell, Andy Samberg, Selena Gomez, Kevin James, Steve Buscemi, David Spade, Keegan-Michael Key, Fran Drescher, Molly Shannon, Megan Mullally, Nick Offerman and Dana Carvey also star.

Big Hero 6 is a fun animated action/adventure film that features interesting characters, beautiful visuals and the most adorable cuddly robot, Baymax. Or, as the marketing team behind the movie has said, ‘a plus-sized inflatable robot.’
This new Walt Disney Animations release centres around 14-year-old robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada – and the relationships/events in his life that lead to the point where he forms a superhero team to fight against a masked villain.
My favourite thing about the movie is, of course, Baymax; particularly his beauty, both inside and out.
I’m certainly no prodigy of any kind, but Big Hero 6 did have me thinking about how best to apply my own passion, skills and talents.
Hiro’s general cleverness and how that aspect of his character is revealed to the audience more than once is a definite highlight. Also, I may have fallen a little bit in love with Tadashi, the big brother character. How could one not? He’s probably the best big brother any 14-year-old boy, or anyone for that matter, could ever wish for.
Watch it for a great Oscar-winning animated adventure. Then join me and all the other fans in looking forward to the sequel, because surely it’s inevitable, right? And because we absolutely want it.
Happy Film Loving,
