The Angry Birds Movie (2016), Josh Gad (Chuck), Jason Sudeikis (Red)
A new The Angry Birds Movie trailer has landed and I definitely like it more than the teaser.

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.
Inside Out (2015), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling), Sadness (Philis Smith), Joy (Amy Poehler)
Inside Out is an intelligent animated film about a young girl (Riley) and her emotions. Particularly how Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger and Disgust try to agree on the best way to get through Riley’s days after her surroundings change unexpectedly.
Directed by Pete Docter and Ronnie Del Carmen; Amy Poehler, Mindy Kaling, Bill Hader, Phyllis Smith and Lewis Black provide the key character voices.
Being an animated movie, cuteness was always likely; but my, oh my is Sadness the cutest! Watch it for a little education on how memories work, why each one memory/emotion is important and for Amy Poehlers wonderfully hopeful voice.
Trainwreck stars Amy Schumer, the comedienne behind one of my favourite shows on Comedy Central, Inside Amy Schumer.
Written by Schumer and directed by someone I like to refer to as ‘comedy film king’, Judd Apatow, Trainwreck is a romantic comedy I had high hopes for.
Overall, the film isn’t bad. The scenes I enjoyed most are in the middle of the film, including the conversations between the characters played by Bill Hader, LeBron James and Amy Schumer. Ezra Miller’s Donald is also particularly memorable.

Unfortunately, some scenes in the first twenty minutes of Trainwreck felt overly long, and the ending left me craving creative disruption of the romantic comedy genre – probably more than I ever have before.
I often find that whenever comics star in their comedy films, the narrative moves too slowly for my liking. It probably has something to do with me being used to the sketch show/standup comedy format where the point is rarely dragged out unnecessarily, at least not by the good comics.
Part of the problem with Trainwreck is that I already enjoyed a good number of the funniest moments in the trailer. So, once again, I may have liked the trailer more than I did the film. Those who are not already quite familiar with Schumer’s comedy will likely have a better time with the film because of the general newness. The rest of us might end up doing more smiling than laughing.
The Angry Birds Movie (2016), Jason Sudeikis (Red)
You’ve played the hit game created by mobile gaming application creator Rovio. you certainly know the rage that flows through the veins of the red one. Now, take a few minutes to watch the movie trailer.
The actors lending their voices to the fun and familiar characters include Josh Gad as Chuck, Jason Sudeikis as Red, plus Maya Rudolph, Bill Hader, Danny McBride and Peter Dinklage.
I’ve only played theAngry Birds game once or twice. As such, perhaps serious fans have a different opinion because this teaser trailer didn’t do a lot for me. Michael Jackson’s Bad also doesn’t quite feel like a good musical fit.
The good news is, this is only the teaser, meaning we can still be pleasantly surprised. Nevertheless, currently, The Secret Life Of Pets, another animatedmovie also due out in the summer is the one I want to see most.
