THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE (2026): New Trailer Starring Benny Safdie, Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Brie Larson…

11 Comments

Stopping Wario and Bowser Jr.’s evil alliance as they attempt world domination is what Mario and friends are tasked with in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

From director Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, Brie Larson, Benny Safdie, Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Pratt are among the key cast.

‘Princess Rosalina! You’re coming with me!’

The princess is a key reason for my interest. Especially since, in this trailer, everything that happens from 2:01 onwards is my favourite. The rest will likely feel like a watchable, easy viewing animated experience. Bear in mind that I say this all without having watched The Super Mario Bros. Movie of 2023, which I hear was quite fun.

How enthusiastic do you feel about this second instalment?

Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, Charlie Day and Kevin Michael Richardson also star.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Release Dates: April 3rd, 2026 (US & UK)…

The fight to save the world from an apocalypse continues in Pacific Rim Uprising, where Jake, son of Stacker Pentecost, reunites with Mako Mori to lead a new generation of Jaeger pilots to confront the looming threat.

Directed by Steven S. DeKnight; the names Pentecost, Mako Mori and Jaeger pilots – none of these names mean anything to me, since I haven’t actually watched (Pacific Rim (2013). I am, however, contemplating rectifying that just so I can watch this new movie and listen to Boyega deliver the speech that’s partly featured in this trailer in its entirety. I had no idea there was that much beautiful bass in Boyega’s voice.

Tian Jing, Rinko Kikuchi, Burn Gorman and Charlie Day also star.

Pacific Rim Uprising Release Dates: March 23rd, 2018 (US); May 18th, 2018 (UK)…

THE HOLLARS (2016): The Thing I Liked – Sharlto Copley’s Performance…

Directed by John Krasinski, The Hollars is a comedy/drama about a son returning to his small town after his mother falls ill. This may not be the most obvious premise for comedy but there are laughs to be had with Krasinki’s latest directorial effort.

Besides the good humour, especially courtesy of Sharlto Copley’s character, I enjoyed the film’s portrait of family, sibling dynamics and all the good performances from the cast.

Written by Jim Strouse who also wrote one of my favourites, People, Places, Things (2015), Anna Kendrick, Charlie Day, Richard Jenkins, Margot Martindale and Randall Park also star.

The Hollars is fitting for when you’re in the mood for a relaxing drama/comedy with a little splash of romance and nothing too taxing, emotionally.

FIST FIGHT (2017): New Trailer From Ice Cube, Charlie Day, Christina Hendricks, Tracy Morgan…

Christina Hendricks, Charlie Day and Ice cube are the stars of new High School based fight comedy Fist Fight.

My fingers are crossed that this won’t be anything like Sisters (2015) or The Night Before (2015);  two movies that featured grownups behaving in ways that were only believable and entertaining when teenagers do it. I couldn’t even make it to the halfway point with either movie.

My wish for this Richie Keen-directed film is that it’s funnier and  far more believable than the aforementioned movies. A good sign is that the above rather well-edited trailer puts a smile on my face, while forcing me to reminisce about my fun high school years. Same for you?

Fist Fight Release Dates: February 17th, 2017 (US); February 24th, 2017 (UK)…
