THE BFG (2016): New Trailer From Steven Spielberg, Mark Rylance…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of  The BFG (2016).

Today’s trailer is for The BFG (The Big Friendly Giant), the latest film from Mark Rylance and director Steven Spielberg.

Based on the classic children’s book of the same name by Roald Dahl, The BFG is the story of a young girl called Sophie (Ruby Barnhill), and her encounter with a giant (Rylance).

Sophie’s big new friend is different because unlike his giant peers, The BFG is kind and completely uninterested in eating little boys and girls.

I admit that I wasn’t a fan of the original edit of The BFG trailer released a few weeks ago, but this new version has me very intrigued.

Rylance and Spielberg last worked together on Bridge Of Spies (2015); the film that led to a Best Supporting Actor Oscar win for Rylance.

I’m almost certain I’ll enjoy this movie because it’s Spielberg and because I remember loving the book.

The BFG Release Dates: July 1st, 2016 (US & CAN); July 21st, 2016 (GER); July 22nd, 2016 (UK)…

Sausage Party is the brand new comedy from Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen and James Franco. It’s an animation comedy and the key characters are food.

Rogen’s previous movie, The Night Before (2015) proved to be more disappointing than anticipated. As such, my fingers are crossed with this new ‘food horror.’ Nevertheless, the different personalities assigned to all the food items are certainly an intriguing.

Directed by  Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan; the film stars several Rogen regulars, including Michael Cera, Danny McBride and Craig Robinson. Salma Hayek, Edward Norton and Paul Rudd also lend their voices.

Sausage Party Release Dates: August 12th, 2016 (US & UK), August 18th, 2016 (GER), September 14th (FR)…

THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE (2016): An Easter Message From the Hatchlings

I know that the story of The Angry Birds Movie is generally about Red, ‘the one with the eyebrows’, but I’m obsessed with the cuteness of the baby birds, a.k.a the Hatchlings.

My wish is that these adorable and colourful little cuties feature as prominently as possible in the finished movie.

They may not quite be on the same level of cuteness as the Minions. However, seeing them is certainly very seriously smile-inducing. Especially the purple chocaholic.

The Angry Birds Movie is out on:  May 13th, 2016 (UK), May 20th, (US)…

MAGGIE’S PLAN (2015): New Trailer From Ethan Hawke, Julian Moore, Greta Gerwig…

Directed by Rebecca Miller, Maggie’s Plan stars Julianne Moore, Ethan Hawke and Greta Gerwig in story that centres around a young woman who is eager to start a family on her own. The only thing is, she ends up becoming a mistress and breaking up the marriage of her professor lover and his wife (Moore).

As you can tell from the trailer, there’s quite a lot going on. I like that Maggie’s Plan has been categorised as a comedy. Although, I don’t recall laughing, let alone smiling more than once during the trailer. The most exciting thing about this movie, for me, is brilliant actress Julianne Moore. Even more so because she’s sporting what sounds like a convincing European accent.

Travis Fimmel, Bill Hader and Maya Rudolph also star.

Maggie’s Plan Release Dates: May 20th, 2016 (US); July 8th, 2016 (UK)…

A new The Angry Birds Movie trailer has landed and I definitely like it more than the teaser.

International Trailer

The use of Michael Jackson’s Bad seems to fit a little better now, perhaps. I can’t wait to find out if I’ll like this movie more than The Secret Life of Pets, which is due to be released two months later.

The Angry Birds Movie Release Dates May 13th, 2016 (UK), May 20th, (US)…
