DARK MATTER (2024): New Trailer From Joel Egerton, Jennifer Connelly, Alice Braga, Oakes Fegley…

15 Comments

New nine-part drama/sci-fi/thriller, Dark Matter from Apple TV+ has Joel Egerton starring as Jason Dessan, a man abducted into an alternate version of his life.

Based on the novel by Blake Crouch and additional key cast that includes Jennifer Connelly, Alice Braga and Oakes Fegley; Jason must find a way back before it’s too late.

Hello, Nightmare.

I’ve been hearing about how Netflix is great at documentaries and that Apple’s thing is good sci-fi. I haven’t watched much sci-fi on Apple TV+, particularly because it isn’t my favourite genre. At least not pure sci-fi anyway. However, this trailer sure has me intrigued, plus it’s sci-fi/drama/thriller, which helps.

Based on this engaging trailer edit, I’m ready to find out if Egerton’s character makes it back home to his loving family, as near impossible as it seems right now.

Jimmi Simpson, Dayo Okeniyi, Amanda Brugel, Marquita Brooks, Tiff Abreu, Bassam Abdelfattah, Jimmy Styx, Missy Fierro, Jenne Kang and Patricia Mario also star.

Dark Matter Release Dates: May 8th, 2024 (US & UK)…

BRIDGERTON – SEASON 3 (2024): New Trailer Starring Nicola Coughlan, Luke Newton, Jonathan Bailey, Simone Ashley, Julie Andrews…

12 Comments

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Bridgerton – Season 3: Part 1 (2024).

The third instalment of the Bridgerton offspring’s love stories is soon upon us.

Starring Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton; this time the focus is on Colin Bridgerton and his relationship with long-time admirer and wallflower Penelope Featherington.

Penelope and Colin may not be my favourite Bridgerton characters, but I’ll watch because I try to finish things I start. Well, unless I have a very good reason not to. There’s always a chance that I’ll be very pleasantly surprised by how engaging the writing ends up being (one of the things I enjoyed about season 2), even though I’m not particularly gripped yet, based on this trailer.

Additionally, there are always the flowers of spring and colourful costumes to look forward to, plus the occasional appearance of my favourite characters, the queen Charlotte plus the viscount and his wife, of course.

There are still theoretically, at least five more Bridgerton seasons to go. Will you be watching this third instalment?

Jonathan Bailey, Simone Ashley, Julie Andrews, Bessie Carter, Polly Walker, Luke Thompson, Adjoa Andoh, Golda Rosheuvel, Claudia Jessie, Ruth Gemmell, Jessica Madsen and Hugh Sachs also star.

SING SING (2023): New Trailer Starring Colman Domingo, Sean Dino Johnson, Clarence Maclin, Paul Raci…

10 Comments

Sing Sing is a new drama about a theatre group who escape the reality of incarceration through drama. Specifically by staging a play with a cast that includes actors who have been incarcerated.

Colman Domingo (If Beale Street Could Talk (2018), Clarence Maclin, Paul Raci and Sean Dino Johnson star; while Greg Kwedar co-writes and directs.

As a fan of drama the subject, and all its powers, I find this trailer very moving. It’s the kind of trailer that was always going to affect most people, thanks in part to how beautifully it’s edited. Add the fact that it’s a story about people who dedicated themselves to lifting others, and, oh, wait; are my eyeballs suddenly ‘sweating?’

Domingo is great, of course. I’m excited to see how the characters find themselves transformed. After all, getting to be creative generally has a lot more to offer the participant than just fun.

MOTHER’S INSTINCT (2024): New Trailer Starring Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Josh Charles, Anders Danielsen Lie…

12 Comments

Jessica Chastain, Josh Charles, Anne Hathaway and Anders Danielsen Lie are the stars of new drama/thriller Mother’s Instinct.

Directed by Benoît Delhomme, at the centre of the story is a tragic accident that leads to guilt, suspicion and paranoia between two women who were once the best of friends.

Based on the title alone, I’m going to guess that Chastain’s character is right. I think that Hathatway’s Celine is the grief-stricken mother who’s lost her mind.

I say all this of course, as someone who has never watched the French film (Derrière la haine (2018) by Barbara Abel, on which both films are based. I’m excited to watch two wonderful actors continually raise each other’s game with every word and look they utter. Not that either of their games needed raising, mind you.

Are you looking forward to a promising psychological thriller, one of a few among the many blockbusters due to come our way this year?

Caroline Lagerfelt, Alexander Blaise, Keeley Miller, Steve Routman, Lauren Yaffe and Baylen D. Bielitz also star.

Read my spoiler-free movie review of A Quiet Place – Day One (2024).

A Quiet Place – Day One follows writer/director John Krasinski’s drama/horror/sci-fi hits, A Quiet Place (2018) and A Quiet Place Part 2 (2020).

Co-written by Krasinski and directed this time by Michael Sarnoski; we finally get to learn about what happened the day the world went quiet.

I love that I had absolutely no idea this was on the way, let alone that it would star an actor as magnetic as Nyong’o.

I may end up terrified, but I’m ready for the action, story, visual effects, and hopefully answers to questions many A Quiet Place fans have had since the first movie.

Also, it’s still only month two, but 2024 is looking good for the volume of movies I’m excited about this year. Will you be watching to see if Nyong’o’s character makes it through?

Alexander John, Elijah Ungvary, Jennifer Woodward, Mark Khan, Zay Domo Artist, Jonathan Sparrow and Cain Aiden also star.

A Quiet Place – Day One Release Dates: June 28th, 2024 (US & UK)…
