Splitsville is a new comedy starring Dakota Johnson, Nicholas Braun, Adria Arjona, O-T Fagbenle and co-writer/director Michael Angelo Covino.

The fun starts when Ashley (Arjona)’s husband, Carey, goes to his married friends, Julie (Johnson) and Paul, for support after Ashley asks for a divorce. Their advice leads to actions that result in even more havoc than anticipated.

Chaotic is clearly the word here. I look forward to being in the right mood to take this promising madness on.

I haven’t watched Materialists (2025) yet, but I’m intrigued by a second movie where Johnson is stuck in a love triangle.

Are you also ready for this ‘full-on comedy’? It seems there are fewer of those these days.

Stephen Adekolu, David Castañeda, Charlie Gillespie, Marc Assiniwi, Letitia Brookes and Simon Webster also star.

Splitsville Release Dates: August 22nd, 2025 (US)…

BLINK TWICE (2024): The Things I Liked…

8 Comments

Mystery/thriller Blink Twice is a decent writing/directorial debut for Zoë Kravitz.

Starring Naomi Ackie, Channing Tatum, Adria Arjona and Alia Shawkat, it all begins when cocktail waitress Frida (Ackie) and her friend Jess (Shawkat) get invited to tech billionaire Slater King’s private island. Unbeknownst to the two friends, their time on the island will not be quite the carefree experience they’d hoped it would be.

The visual style of Blink Twice is the first thing I liked right away. Then came the performances and the fact that the story builds to some thrilling and unexpected twists and turns. 

Yes, there was a moment or two when I wanted things to move slightly quicker, but soon after the halfway point, I was a very pleased audience member.

All the actors in Blink Twice performed well, including Tatum, whom we hadn’t seen in this type of dark role before. So, if you’re curious, watch it for these reasons, and how well that final third of the film is executed. 

Happy Film Loving,

PACIFIC RIM UPRISING (2018): New Trailer From John Boyega, Scott Eastwood, Adria Arjona…

The fight to save the world from an apocalypse continues in Pacific Rim Uprising, where Jake, son of Stacker Pentecost, reunites with Mako Mori to lead a new generation of Jaeger pilots to confront the looming threat.

Directed by Steven S. DeKnight; the names Pentecost, Mako Mori and Jaeger pilots – none of these names mean anything to me, since I haven’t actually watched (Pacific Rim (2013). I am, however, contemplating rectifying that just so I can watch this new movie and listen to Boyega deliver the speech that’s partly featured in this trailer in its entirety. I had no idea there was that much beautiful bass in Boyega’s voice.

Tian Jing, Rinko Kikuchi, Burn Gorman and Charlie Day also star.

Pacific Rim Uprising Release Dates: March 23rd, 2018 (US); May 18th, 2018 (UK)…
