FALL 2 – DEADPOINT (2026): New Trailer Starring Arsema Thomas, Harriet Slater, Tom Brittney…

4 Comments

Fall (2022) has a sequel where a grieving sister, Jax Hunter, along with her late sisters bold friend decide to survive a super dangerous plank walk in Thailand that’s 3000 feet above ground. And of course, ‘well’ is not the word for how it goes.

Directed by Michael Spierig and Peter Spierig, Harriet Slater, Arsema Thomas and Tom Brittney are among the key cast.

My first thought after reading the synopsis was ‘SURVIVE?!??’

And that’s why I must watch this. How exactly will survival be possible in such a predicament?

Yes, Jax’s decision to climb seems super wreckless. However, I’m going to put my judgement to one side because the first Fall film was a pleasant surprise. I hope this sequel will be as engaging, well-paced/edited, as it’s predecessor.

Like most people, I’m afraid of falling from a great height, but I’m actually happy to be very high up as long as there are sufficient considerations for my safety. I.e. the barriers at the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Are you comfortable with heights, and watching this?

Adam Rose, Virginia Gardner, Grace Caroline Currey, Jordan Coleman, Juju Journey Brener, Einar Haraldsson, Alexandra Bartlett, Evie Mann and London Nuovo also star.

Fall 2 – Deadpoint Release Dates: August 7th, 2026 (UK), September 9th, 2026 (US)…

THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR (2027): New Trailer From Michael B. Jordan, Adria Arjona, Kenneth Branagh…

12 Comments

Starring, produced and directed by Micahel B. Jordan, The Thomas Crown Affair is an action/crime/thriller about a successful playboy and art thief who may have finally met his match.

Adria Arjona, Kenneth Branagh and Danai Gurira are among the key cast.

Beautiful Trailer. I love how this fresh take is looking.

I don’t believe I’ve seen the versions of The Thomas Crown Affair story made in 1968 and 1999. But I am intrigued by the cinematography and what Jordan’t film does as an actor relatively new to directing.

I may make time to watch the previous versions. Do you recall seeing any of them?

Adwoa Aboah, Pilou Asbæk, Danai Gurira, Lily Gladstone, Aiysha Hart, Charlotte Jackson Coleman, Alex Lanipekun, Janis Ahern and Charlotte Carter-Allen also star.

The Thomas Crown Affair Release Dates: March 5th, 2027 (US & UK)…

OBSESSION (2025): The Things I Liked…

14 Comments

Writer/director Curry Barker’s Obsession is quite a pleasant surprise, as far as the movies I’ve seen in 2026 go. That’s unexpected, coming from someone who generally gives horror movies a wide berth for the sake of restful sleep.

It wasn’t the trailer that had me curious, but rather the title, even more so after learning of the film’s huge financial success, costing less than a million dollars to make, yet it grossed over $400 million globally.

Starring Inde Navarrette, Michael Johnston and Cooper Tomlinson, Obsession takes us along to see what happens when a hopeless romantic wishes that his crush were in love with him.

I’ll start by saying that I did not find a single dull moment as this movie played. Secondly, the performances are excellent, which is exactly what Barker’s film deserved, considering how thoughtfully and non-casually his story approached the topic of a wish. 

My only criticism is this: I know the budget was low, but my goodness, that dead-animal prosthetic at the beginning was embarrassing. 

Still, ‘Wow! Very refreshing!’ remains my honest reaction to this highlight of my movie-loving 2026.

Watch it if you’re curious. I’ve had zero nightmares post-viewing.

THE LAST HOUSE (2026): New Trailer Starring Greta Lee, Wagner Moura, Sid Edwards…

6 Comments

Directed by Louis Leterrier, The Last House follows a family of four who suddenly find themselves sealed inside their home and unable to leave.

Starring Wagner Moura, Greta Lee, and Sid Edwards, the family must work together to survive as their resources dwindle and they face the mysterious, looming threat that keeps them inside.

I have so many thoughts about what’s really going on here. Initially, this trailer gave strong A Quiet Place (2018) and The End of Oak Street (2026) vibes.

But then, when I saw the bears. It suddenly looked like Mother Nature may just be fighting back. How exciting if that were true.

As a big fan of Moura and Lee, this one is a must. What do you think?

Lewis Goody, Audrey Anderson, Tawny Fontana, Noah Alexander Sosnowski, Oliver Henry Arnold, Gabriel Barbosa, Riley Chung and Emma Ho also star.

The Last House Release Dates: August 7th, 2026 (US & UK)…

HEART OF THE BEAST (2026): New Trailer From Brad Pitt, J.K. Simmons, Anna Lambe…

11 Comments

Heart of the Beast is the latest David Ayer-directed action/adventure/thriller starring Brad Pitt.

It’s the story of a Special Forces officer and his combat dog, as they try to survive the Alaskan wilderness following a terrifying plane crash.

I’m into it because it’s Pitt and I do love that Ayer is responsible for End of Watch (2012), one of my favourite films. Yet, I don’t know how much I want to see the survival struggle.

Perhaps I’ll leave this one to the adventurers, the veterans, serious dog lovers and those most excited by the premise.

How are you feeling about Heart of the Beast so far?

Heart of the Beast Release Dates: September 25th, 2026 (US & UK)…
