WILD HORSE NINE (2026): New Trailer Starring Sam Rockwell, Parker Posey, John Malkovich, Steve Buscemi…

4 Comments

John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell play 1970s CIA agents in new comedy/drama//thriller Wild Horse Nine.

Written/directed by Martin McDonagh of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017), agents Chris (Malkovich) and Lee (Rockwell) face a trust-testing mission from Santiago to Easter Island, Chile.

One of the first things that occurred to me as this trailer played was how all the key actors have such unique energies and exciting screen presence, which should make this a fun and interesting experience.

The dialogue, humour, and 1970s outfits are also highlights I’m looking forward to.

I only wish I could start watching right now.

Tom Waits, Paola Giannini, Ailín Salas, Morgan Grace Champ, Samuel Wayt, Liam Marcy, Mariana Di Girólamo,

Wild Horse Nine Release Dates: November 5th, 2026 (UK); November 6th 2026 (US)…

SCARPETTA (2026): New Trailer Starring Nicole Kidman, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ariana DeBose, Bobby Cannavale…

3 Comments

Scarpetta, a new eight-part crime thriller, stars Nicole Kidman as Kay Scarpetta, a formidable forensic pathologist drawn into the hunt for a serial killer.

Created by Elizabeth Sarnoff, the series also features Jamie Lee Curtis, Ariana DeBose, Simon Baker and Bobby Cannavale.

As is often the case with serial-killer films and series released after 1995, Scarpetta will inevitably be compared (admittedly by me) to Se7en, David Fincher’s delightfully grim benchmark for the serial killer genre.

Unlike the key protagonists in Se7en, Kidman isn’t playing a detective, at least not in the traditional sense of the word, and the story appears to operate in a different lane altogether.

Ideally, I’ll forget about Se7en once the series begins. That shouldn’t be difficult, provided the storytelling is compelling enough to hold my attention. Fingers, toes and everything crossed for a good result.

Are you curious about Scarpetta?

Simon Baker, Deja Dee, Tyler Merritt, Chiketa Madu, Nahzah Blair, Stanley Aughtry, Janet Montgomery, Mount, Alejandro Barrios, Alanna Giuliani, Paul Bishop and Ashley Shelton also star.

Scarpetta Release Dates: March 11th, 2026, US & UK…

WAKE UP DEAD MAN – A KNIVES OUT STORY (2025): The Things I Liked…

8 Comments

Writer/director, Rian Johnson’s Wake Up Dead Man – A Knives Out Story does what the Knives Out franchise does best, deliver fun, well-executed murder mysteries that have you looking forward to the next instalment. 

Starring Daniel Craig as detective Benoit Blanc, this time the scene of the murder is a small-town church with a dark history, arguably an immediately intriguing setting.

Also starring Kerry Washington, Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin and Mila Kunis, in true Knives Out style, the well-titled Wake Up Dead Man has several twists and turns. You won’t see most of them coming, though you may guess a couple.

If you enjoyed Knives Out (2019) and Glass Onion – A Knives Out Story (2023), then don’t hesitate to watch Wake Up Dead Man. The quality and fun are still there. Plus, O’Connor and Brolin are especially great.

Lastly, I have a feeling you won’t want to miss out on that super delicious punch at the beginning.

Happy Film Loving,

Directed by Tom Harper and written by Steven Knight, Peaky Blinders – The Immortal Man is a continuation of the story of Thomas Shelby

Shelby is the main character in the hit 6-season series Peaky Blinders (2013-2022), a 1900s England-set gangster family epic starring Cillian Murphy.

Additional key cast includes Barry Keoghan, Rebecca Ferguson and Stephen Graham

If the success of the series is anything to go by, this should be worthwhile. It is Murphy, Graham and Keoghan who are always great, after all.

Have you seen the Peaky Blinders series? I haven’t, and I’m guessing it’s enjoyed more by male audiences

Sophie Rundle, Tim Roth, Ruby Ashbourne Serkis, Ned Dennehy, Jay Lycurgo, Packy Lee, Sam Baker Jones, Martin Angerbauer, Ian Peck, Mark Wilkinson, Spencer Elcock, Mauricio Knipp-Armijo and Jasna Anderson also star.

Peaky Blinders – The Immortal Man Release Dates: March 20th, 2026 (US & UK)…

Anya Taylor-Joy, Timothy Olyphant, Annette Bening and William Fichtner are the stars of new 7-part crime/drama, Lucky.

Taylor-Joy is playing a reformed criminal who is forced to confront her past and return to illicit activities to secure her freedom.

I’m always happy to see the ever-great actor William Fichtner on a cast list. As for the premise of Lucky, it may seem super cliché, but perhaps the execution is a pleasant surprise.

The last production I saw Taylor-Joy in was The Gorge (2025). It looks like the character she played in that movie and the one in this series have similar skills, not at all a complaint, mind you.

Quinn Aune, Mika McCalla, Aadyn Encalarde, Matthew Rauch, Ariel Flores, Clifton Collins Jr., Drew Starkey, Eric Lange, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Isaac Stephen Montgomery, Christiana Montoya, Paris Nicole, Armah David and Airic Knight also star.

Lucky Release Dates: July 15th, 2026 (US & UK)…
