Colin Farrell’s latest is on the way. And…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of The Lobster (2015).


Delightfully nuts‘ seems like the perfect phrase to describe new drama/sci-fi/romance, The Lobster. I can’t wait to see how things turn out for Farrell’s character. However, perhaps the title of the movie may have given it away.

Personally, I’d want to be a Snow Leopard. You?

Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, the rest of the cast includes Olivia Coleman, Rachel Weisz, John C. Reilly, Ashley Jensen, Lea Seydoux and Ben Whishaw.

The Lobster Release Dates: October 16th 2015 (US & UK)

Apocalyptic films are here to stay, people! Here comes one more starring Chloe Grace Moretz.

The 5th Wave is intriguing. However,I like Moretz best in the original Kick-Ass (2010) movie. I found her performance just ‘so, so’ in If I Stay (2014). My fingers are crossed that The 5th Wave surprises me most pleasantly.

Live Schreiber, Maika Monroe, Ron Livingston, Maria Bello and Nick Robinson also star.

The 5th WaveRelease Dates: January 15th 2016 (U.S.), January 22nd 2016 ((U.K.)

Happy The 5th Wave 🙂

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Deadpool (2016).


Naturally, after a good trailer trailer comes an even better trailer.

It’s about time Ryan Reynolds caught a real break. Looks like I’ll be  able to add Deadpool to my list of favourite Reynolds comedy films. 

So far, that list consists of The Voices (2014) and sitcom Two Guys, A Girl & A Pizza Place.

Directed by Tim Miller, the rest of the Deadpool supporting cast includes Gina Carano, brianna Hildbrand, Ed Skrein, T.J. Miller, Morena Baccarin and Rachel Sheen, to name jus a few.

Deadpool Release Date (s): February 10th, 2016 (UK), February 12th, 2016 (US)…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Deadpool (2016).


Film and comic book fans have been going crazy over the recent Deadpool trailer trailer. And no. That’s not a typo. The makers of the film have indeed released an actual trailer, for the trailer.

If like myself you’re a non-reader of comic books or just unfamiliar with the Deadpool story, but want to make sense of what you’ve just seen, below is what wikipedia had to say about this Marvel Comics/X-Force/X-Men Origins character:

‘Deadpool is a disfigured and mentally unstable mercenary with the superhuman ability of an accelerated healing factor. He is known as the “Merc with a Mouth” because of his talkative nature and tendency to break the fourth wall, which is used by writers to humorous effect.’

Based on what I’ve watched of the films star, Ryan Reynolds, I think he’s been cast well in this role, thanks to his fully proven comic abilities.

MAZE RUNNER – THE SCORCH TRIALS (2015): Great New Trailer

I found the first instalment in the Maze Runner series ok. The best parts being a few well-executed, tense and edge of your seat moments.

With trailer 2, thankfully, things are looking more exciting.

May the finished film please be at least half as thrilling as this trailer.

Maze Runner – The Scorch Trials Release Dates: September 10th (UK); September 18th (US)…

Happy Film Loving,
