Based on a true story, Roofman is a new crime/drama about Jeffrey Manchester, a robber known for breaking and entering through the roof, and his time evading police capture.

Starring Channing Tatum, Kiersten Dunst, Peter Dinklage and Ben Mendelsohn, Roofman is directed by Derek Cianfrance.

I like Tatum in darker roles. I’m even more interested in this because it looks as though it’s missing a comedy categorisation.

Bring on the fun-looking adventure, I say.

Childhood fantasies of getting locked in sweetshops and toy stores overnight aside, how does this story appeal to you?

Melonie Diaz, LaKeith Stanfield, Uzo Aduba, Molly Price, Emory Cohen, Juno Temple, Jimmy O. Yang, Tony Revolori, Lily Collias and Gabe Fazio also star.

Roofman Release Dates: October 3rd, 2025 (UK); October 10th, 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.

BLINK TWICE (2024): New Trailer From Zoe Kravitz, Channing Tatum, Naomi Ackie, Alia Shawkat, Adria Arjona, Christian Slater…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Blink Twice (2024).

Key cast includes Channing Tatum, Naomi Ackie, Christian Slater, Alia Shawkat and Adria Arjona.

Zoe Kravitz’s directorial debut tells the story of Slater King, a tech billionaire who invites a cocktail waitress to join him and his friends on a dream vacation on his private island. But of course, mysterious and clearly terrifying happenings soon begin.

Such strong The Menu (2022) vibes I’m getting with this one. I wonder what Slater King’s selection criteria are for the people he invites to his island.

Oh, wait, I just remembered that the original title for this movie was ‘P***y Island‘. Case closed, I guess? There may still be a chance that my assumptions are incorrect. Either way, it’s going to be fun to watch Slater King get what he deserves, right?. YEAH! MORE VENGEANCE!

I promise that I’m not unhealthily obsessed with vengeance, regardless of what the above exclamation may suggest.

Simon Rex, Haley Joel Osment, Liz Caribel, Levon Hawke, Trew Mullen, Geena Davis, Kyle MacLachlan and Cris Costa also star.

Blink Twice Release dates: August 23rd, 2024 (US & UK)…

FLY ME TO THE MOON (2024): New Trailer From Scarlett Johansson, Channing Tatum, Woody Harrelson, Ray Romano…

8 Comments

Fly Me to the Moon is a new comedy/romance starring Scarlett Johansson, Woody Harrelson, Channing Tatum and Ray Romano.

Directed by Greg Berlanti; Johansson is Kelly Jones, a fictional marketing maven hired to direct footage of a fake moon landing as a backup, after the White House deemed the real moon landing mission too important to fail.

Johansson is why I’m a little intrigued; more than the story or historical period. Fly Me to the Moon also has a certain Hail, Caesar! (2015) and Babylon (2022) quality – one that doesn’t necessarily elicit the highest confidence.

Perhaps it’s because the moon landing story has been told so many times, that this just feels repetitive. Still, how lovely it would be to find myself pleasantly surprised with the finished product.

Do you find yourself curious about this one? Harrelson is always fun and Tatum and Johansson should be interesting; both were in Hail, Caesar!

Jim Rash, Christian Clemenson, Peter Jacobson, Greg Kriek, Colin Woodell, Joe Chrest, Noah Robbins, Anna Garcia and Kylee Nicole Peck also star.

Fly Me to the Moon Release Dates: July 12th, 2024 (US & UK)…

MAGIC MIKE’S LAST DANCE (2022): New Trailer Starring Salma Hayek, Channing Tatum, Caitlin Gerard…

12 Comments

It’s been nearly eight years since the second Magic Mike movie, Magic Mike XXL (2015) and 11 years since Magic Mike (2012). This time the original director Steven Soderbergh is back with Channing Tatum for Magic Mike’s Last Dance.

Also starring Salma Hayek and Caitlin Gerard; we catch up with Mike following a business deal that went bust. Mike heads to London with a wealthy socialite (Hayek) who lures him with an offer he can’t refuse.

I’m not quite sure how worthwhile I’ll feel this third instalment of the Magic Mike films is by the end. But I do love Salma Hayek, impressive dance moves, the London setting, and how fun this all looks. Plus, what a great way to promote Magic Mike Live, which has existed in London for some years now.

So, fans of Tatum, Hayek, Soderbergh, dance and London; are you intrigued?

Gavin Spokes, Christie-Leigh Emby, Nas Ganev, Ayub Khan-Din, Christie-Leigh Emby, Barbara Ryan and Daniel Llaca also star.

Magic Mike’s Last Dance Release Dates: February 10th, 2023 (US & UK)…
