Justin Tipping is the director of Him, a new sports/horror film about a young, talented football player (Tyriq Withers), who signs up to be trained by an ageing quarterback (Marlon Wayans) at a remote compound.

Another movie to remind us all that ‘remote’ can often mean unsafe and cult-ish. I hope this young athlete makes it out in one piece. It’s looking like that may not happen, due to the Midsommar (2019)-type nightmare-inducing vibes this is giving.

Midsommar didn’t actually give me nightmares, but it was very uncomfortable and emotionally taxing.

I’m curious about Wayans’s performance. Whether I watch this or not, I hope it turns out great. That way, I may try to watch it, but with zero guarantees I’ll make it to the end.

How curious are you about Him?

Jim Jefferies, Tim Heidecker, Julia Fox, Jordahn Smith, Gabriela Alicia Ortega, Don Benjamin, Richard Lippert, Kiara Gomez Glad Bak and Indira G. Wilson also star.

Him Release Dates: September 19th, 2025 (US)…

HAPPY GILMORE 2 (2025): New Trailer Starring Adam Sandler, Margaret Qualley, Ben Stiller, Julie Bowen…

6 Comments

The plot for Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller and Margaret Qualley’s latest film, Happy Gilmore 2 hasn’t been revealed yet.

As a friendly reminder, in case you forgot, the original hit, released nearly thirty years ago, was about an ill-tempered hockey player who took up golf after his grandmother’s home was repossessed. All so he can earn enough to get her house back.

Directed by Kyle Newacheck, Julie Bowen, Kym Whitley, Travis Kelce and Bad Bunny are among the key cast.

I’ve never actually watched the original Happy Gilmore movie; it’s one of those films I’m only aware of by name and Sandler’s involvement.

Hopefully, the original film and this sequel are one of those Sandler movies I like. The premise alone has certainly piqued my interest. I imagine it will be amusing, heartwarming and just the right kind of silly.

Have you watched the 1996 Happy Gilmore movie? If so, what did you think?

Ethan Cutkosky, Benny Safdie, Christopher McDonald, Dennis Dugan, Nick Swardson, Dani Deetté, Conor Sherry, Lee Trevino, Maxwell Friedman and Michael Everett Johnson also star.

Happy Gilmore 2 Release Dates: July 25th, 2025 (US), Netflix

F1 (2025): New Trailer From Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem…

6 Comments

Read my spoiler-free movie review of F1-The Movie (2025).

It’s that time for the official trailer for F1, Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon and Javier Bardem’s latest drama/sport movie directed by Joseph Kosinski.

Pitt plays Formula One driver Sonny Hayes who, post retirement, mentors and teams with younger driver, Joshua Pearce (Idris).

The teaser trailer released back in July 2024 had me curious about the Idris/Pitt dynamic. Now, I’m even more excited to see this play out. It looks like a promising underdog story, thanks to this well-executed trailer.

Callie Cooke, Sarah Niles, Samson Kayo, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, Lewis Hamilton, Joseph Balderrama, Will Merrick, Abdul Salis and Rachel Walters also star.

F1 Release Dates: June 25th, 2025 (UK); June 27th, 2025 (US)…

RUNNING POINT (2025): New Trailer From Kate Hudson, Max Greenfield, Brenda Song…

6 Comments

New Netflix series Running Point is a sport/comedy show that stars Kate Hudson as Isla Gordon, a newly appointed President of the family business, the LA Waves basketball team.

Additional key cast includes Brenda Song, Max Greenfield and Scott MacArthur.

I’m into the vibes that align with Rebecca Welton, Hannah Waddingham’s fun character in my favourite show of 2020, Ted Lasso. I also like the Hudson/Song pairing.

I say, bring on the humour and Isla’s ‘rising to the occasion’.

Drew Tarver, Chet Hanks, J.P. Manoux, Justin Hurtt-Dunkley, Nicholas Sayed and Jay Elis also star.

Running Point Release Dates: February 27th, 2025 (US & UK), Netflix

Karate Kid – Legends follows Li Fong (Ben Wang), a Kung Fu prodigy who’s forced to leave his Beijing home and move to New York City.

Directed by Jonathan Entwistle; Joshua Jackson, Jackie Chan, Ralph Macchio, Ming-Na Wen are among the key cast.

Nostalgia is the reason this appeals. That and the chance to watch bullies get silenced. Some impressive martial art, especially courtesy of young Wang, won’t hurt either.

Anyone else notice how the warm colours in this trailer make everything feel so cosy?

Shaunette Renée Wilson, Sadie Stanley, Aramis Knight, Wyatt Oleff, Ben Wang, Jennifer-Lynn Christie, Katrina Batur and Emile Pazzano also star.

Karate Kid – Legends Release Dates: May 30th, 2025 (UK & US)…
