THE MOSQUITO BOWL (2026): New Trailer Starring Nicholas Galitzine, Bill Skarsgård, Peter Berg, Ray Nicholson…

7 Comments

Directed and co-written by Peter Berg, The Mosquito Bowl is the latest biographical/drama/sport film about four star college footballers who join the Marines following Pearl Harbor.

Starring Nicholas Galitzine, Bill Skarsgård, Peter Berg and Ray Nicholson, the young men take part in a historic football game before going on to face the Battle of Okinawa.

I’m not the most avid watcher of war films, but the heartbreak and tragedy in this one have my attention, particularly the stories of all the young people whose lives were greatly altered because war called.

I’m interested in how this story captures the emotional turmoil. There are also the inevitable comparisons to The Hurt Locker (still my favourite war film).

Very likely not an easy watch, but does the story have you curious?

Stacy Clausen, Pat McAfee, Dominic Bogart, Ella Newton, Brodie Henson, Steven McCormack, Jacob Hohua, Asabi Goodman, Olga Petsa, Taki Abe and Helmer Mosquera also star.

The Mosquito Bowl Release Dates: November 25th, 2026 (US & UK)….

THE DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD (2026): New Trailer Starring Hugh Jackman, Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård…

8 Comments

Gravely injured after his intended final battle, Robin Hood (Hugh Jackman), is grappling with his past, a life marked by crime and murder, when a mysterious woman (Jodie Comer) gives him a chance at salvation.

Directed by Michael Sarnoski, The Death of Robin Hood has additional key cast that includes Bill Skarsgård, Noah Jupe, Murray Bartlett and Tabitha Smyth.

Jackman, Comer, Skarsgård, love them all. Yet this might be far too brutal for my tastes. I’ll at least try to watch it.

Faith Delaney, Elijah Ungvary, Alfie Lawless, Asher De Silva, Beau Thompson and Fintan Shevlin also star.

The Death of Robin Hood Release Dates: June 19th, 2026,(US)…

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 CROW (2024): New Trailer From Bill Skarsgård, FKA Twigs, Danny Huston…

8 Comments

New action/crime/fantasy, The Crow stars Bill Skarsgård, Danny Huston and FKA twigs.

Directed by Rupert Sanders; The Crow is the story of brutally murdered soulmates Eric and Shelley. Specifically Eric’s unexpected opportunity for absolute vengeance.

I’m quite partial to a good vengeance story. Still, I don’t know that I’m expecting a lot from this movie. Nevertheless, I want to watch and compare it to the original 1994 version of The Crow starring Brandon Lee, which I’m yet to see.

It looks pretty gory based on this trailer, but, I’m curious, are you also intrigued and have you seen the original?

Laura Birn, Jordan Bolger, Sami Bouajila, Karel Dobrý, Isabella Wei, David Bowles, Jim High, Paul A Maynard and Dukagjin Podrimaj also star.

The Crow Release Dates: Aug 23rd 2024 (US & UK)…

JOHN WICK- CHAPTER 4 (2023): New Trailer From Keanu Reeves, Bill Skarsgård, Hiroyuki Sanada, Donnie Yen…

John Wick did not get killed in John Wick- Chapter 3 – Parabellum. So, naturally, chapter 4 has been due.

Starring Keanu Reeves, Bill Skarsgård, Hiroyuki Sanada, Donnie Yen, and directed by Chad Stahelski; this fourth movie has Wick with an even bigger price on his head. A price so large that he has to seek out the most powerful players in the underworld, from New York to Paris, Osaka and Berlin.

I like the international setting of this one. However, I’m mainly showing up to take in the colours, thrilling action sequences, and definitely to watch Reeves look good in a black suit while doing very impressive movie stuff.

Another reason is Hiroyuki Sanada. He just has a way of standing out in a good way in each movie I’ve seen him in. Two such examples being Mortal Kombat (2021) and Bullet Train (2022).

Is there enough in this trailer to keep your interest? Or are you already done with the John Wick franchise? I can’t help but wonder just how many more will be made.

Laurence Fishburne, Shamier Anderson, Lance Reddick, Rina Sawayama, Scott Adkins, Ian McShane, Marko Zaror, Natalia Tena and Aimée Kwan also star.

John Wick Chapter 4 Release Dates: March 24th, 2023 (US & UK)…
