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.

Bridgerton – Season 3 Release Dates: May 16th, 2024 (US & UK), Netflix…

DAMSEL (2024): The Things I Liked…

25 Comments

I’m a sucker for empowered and empowering female characters. No surprise then, when it came to my eagerness to watch Damsel, the latest action/adventure/fantasy from Stranger Things breakout star, Millie Bobbie Brown. 

After watching the trailer, I was excited to witness the young damsel, Elodie (Brown) rise. Especially since Brown has that undeniable quality which more than suggests ‘capable heroine’. 

After agreeing to marry a handsome prince following encouragement from her father, things end up being very far from ‘happily ever after’ for young Elodie. The good news is that what follows is a fun and easy-to-watch adventure. One I may not recommend with the highest level of enthusiasm when asked. Nevertheless, I say it’s worth it; particularly if you agree with the above opening line to this review.

It was satisfying to watch Elodie’s resilience as the story progressed. Even though, for me, the script felt a tad basic in parts. My only other issue is that final walk towards the end. It came across as overly exaggerated in a laughable and arguably cringy way for me. Perhaps I’m just too ‘mature’ for this type of execution. 

Lastly, in case you were wondering, that wonderful dragon voice is courtesy of Shohreh Aghdashloo, a lady, would you believe it? Brava, I say, brava!

Starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, Charlee Fraser and Tom Burke; Furiosa – A Mad Max Saga is the latest action/adventure/sci-fi from writer/director George Miller.

This time the focus is on the origin story of rebel warrior Furiosa, before she meets sand teams up with Mad Max.

Hello, beautiful chaos!

This great-looking vengeance movie trailer has me ready to see Taylor-Joy as the super angry heroine Furiosa. I’m excited to watch her journey to serve Dr. Dementus (Hemsworth in a prosthetic nose) his comeuppance.

There’s got to be no way this won’t deliver, right? Especially with such a talented cast and a wonderful trailer that has both visuals and moments of dialogue that have me yelping with delight and feeling grateful for my senses.

Furiosa: I want them back. I WANT THEM BACK!!!

Dr. Dementus: Where are you going, so full of hope? THERE IS NO HOPE!!!

Aren’t both lines just such perfect moments of dialogue? The first has me more than ready to see Furiosa execute her plans, and the second has me wondering if I’ll end up feeling a little sorry for Dementus. Especially after hearing the feeling in the brilliant way that Hemsworth delivers the above line.

No doubt I’ll take in this trailer plenty more times before the movie is released.

Goran D. Kleut, CJ. Bloomfield, Rahel Romahn, Nathan Jones, Angus Sampson, Lachy Hulme, Alyla Browne, Daniel Webber and Nat Buchanan also star.

Furiosa – A Mad Max Saga Release Dates: May 24th, 2024 (US & UK)…

MONKEY MAN (2024): New Trailer From Dev Patel, Sharlto Copley, Adithi Kalkunte, Sikandar Kher, Pitobash…

12 Comments

New action/thriller Monkey Man is an epic-looking vengeance story starring and directed by Dev Patel, who also happens to be one of the co-writers.

Post trailer viewing, I find myself rather happy for Patel, considering the excitement around such a promising directorial debut.

I see plenty of John Wick fans being drawn to this one, along with many enthusiasts of a good vengeance tale, especially if the gratuitous violence isn’t off-putting.

I’m ready, and look forward to keeping up with all the exciting fight sequences.

Sharlto Copley, Adithi Kalkunte, Sikandar Kher itobash. Ashwini Kalsekar, Makrand Deshpande, Sobhita Dhulipala and Jatin Malik also star.

Monkey Man Release Dates: April 5th, 2024 (UK & US)…
