A thief breaks into a luxury SUV only to realise, too late, that he’s slipped into a deadly trap. This is the premise of director David Yarovesky’s latest psychological thriller, Locked, starring Bill Skarsgård and Anthony Hopkins.

Will this turn out great? I hope so. What I’m drawn to is the challenge of keeping audiences engaged when the main setting is a vehicle.

Locked also happens to remind me of my favourite movie that takes place inside one car, Tom Hardy and writer/director Steven Knight’s psychological drama, Locke (2013).

Michael Eklund, Navid Charkhi, Sofia Tesema and Emma Kombe also star.

The trailer for the Michael Bay-directed fifth Transformers movie, Transformers – The Last Knight starring Mark Wahlberg, Josh Duhamel, Anthony Hopkins and Stanley Tucci is finally here.

I loved the first Tranformers film; the one that starred Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox. The second instalment was so disappointing that I haven’t yet been able return to the franchise.

Maybe I’ll  watch this because of the special effects and Anthony Hopkins – but really, I think this may be a movie most ideal for those who love big fiery explosions more than the average amount – which of course is absolutely fine.

Transformers  – The Last Knight Release Dates: June 23rd, 2017 (US & UK)…

Set at a futuristic theme park populated by artificial beings, HBO’s new sci-fi series, Westworld is inspired by Michael Crichton’s 1973 movie of the same name.

I’m not exactly the biggest sci-fi fan but I’ve identified a number of reasons to get excited about Westworld. One of them is a cast list that includes well-respected names like Anthony Hopkins, Jeffrey Wright, Thandie Newton, Ed Harris and Evan Rachel Wood.

Another big reason is the writers who are husband and wife team, Lisa Joy Nolan and Jonathan Nolan. That’s  Jonathan Nolan, brother to Christopher Nolan and co-screenwriter of some of the best action/sci-fi movies of recent years; – The Dark Knight (2008), Inception (2010) and Interstellar (2014),  to name just three.

I’m already in love with  Westworld because of the reasons above – including the trailer. 

I’m just hoping that when the time comes, the show will end in a reasonably timely manner. You know,  before it becomes annoyingly tedious and not very good, for example. I mean, as much as I don’t completely dislike Game Of Thrones, I feel it needs to be wrapped up already.

Westworld starts in October 2016 on HBO.
