AVENGERS – DOOMSDAY (2026) New Trailer Starring Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr, Pedro Pascal…

13 Comments

Brothers Anthony and Joe Russo are back as directors of the latest Avengers movie instalment, Avengers – Doomsday.

Starring Chris Hemsworth, Pedro Pascal, Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr, the Avengers are to work with heroes from other worlds to confront and neutralise a cataclysmic danger.

As a non-superfan who’d already accepted the end of this generation of Marvel’s Avengers with the spectacular Avengers – Endgame (2019), I can’t help but feel somewhat underwhelmed.

I’m simply not excited by yet another return. This trailer also failed to build much anticipation for me in the way Avengers trailers usually do. My favourite remains the trailers for Avengers: Age of Ultron (2025), even though, ironically, I found the finished film disappointing, largely because of how little Ultron ultimately featured.

I suspect serious superfans are far more excited than I’m capable of being. Largely for their sake, but also for my own, I hope it turns out better than I’m expecting. After all, I’m always delighted to be pleasantly surprised by a movie, especially when the genre has me super fatigued.

Vanessa Kirby, Sebastian Stan, Simu Liu, Lewis Pullman, Tom Hiddleston, Rebecca Romijn, Patrick Stewart, Winston Duke, Florence Pugh, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Anthony Mackie, Mabel Cadena, Kelsey Grammer and Alan Cumming also star.

Avengers – Doomsday Release Dates: December 18th, 2026 (US & UK)…

CRIME 101 (2026): The Things I Liked…

5 Comments

Well-acted, stylish, moody, and well-paced, those are four words that come to mind as I watched Crime 101. Very easy to watch and visually pleasing are a few others.

What surprised me about director and co-writer Bart Layton’s film, which follows an elusive thief (Chris Hemsworth) teaming up with an insurance broker (Halle Berry) while being pursued by a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo), is how familiar the resolution of Hemsworth’s character’s worst-case scenario feels. It’s the one part of the film I wish had unfolded in a less clichéd and more satisfying way.

To be clear, I’m not saying that I predicted everything that happens in the last quarter of the movie, but I did see a key element of the ending coming, which is never ideal.

That said, Crime 101 may not be my new favourite heist film, as I’d hoped, but I’d still probably watch much of it again because of everything else it gets right.

Watch it if you’re curious.

CRIME 101 (2026): New Trailer Starring Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Halle Berry, Barry Keoghan…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Crime 101 (2026).

Co-written/directed by Bart Layton, Crime 101 is the latest thriller from Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, Mark Ruffalo and Barry Keoghan.

In Layton’s story, an insurance broker (Berry) and an elusive thief team up for a multi-million dollar heist, with a relentless detective on their tail. Who wins? That is the question.

Could this be the good heist movie I’ve been dreaming of? It certainly looks stylish and sexy enough, and the cast is great. The story and execution just have to deliver, and looking at Layton’s filmography, there’s hope, boys and girls. There is much hope.

I feel like I don’t even have to ask, but you’re going to watch this, aren’t you?

Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Nick Nolte, Babak Tafti, Peter Banifaz, Patrick Mulvey, Tate Donovan, Crosby Fitzgerald, Hossein Mardani, Payman Maadi and Deborah Hedwall also star.

Crime 101 Release Dates: February 13th, 2026 (US & UK)…

TRANSFORMERS ONE (2024): The Things I Liked…

16 Comments

I was never the biggest fan of Transformers (autobots/robots that can transform into other forms, such as vehicles and animals), except I did enjoy the 2007 movie starring Shia La Boef, Megan Fox and Josh Duhamel.

Since then, the Transformers movies that followed didn’t quite speak to me. That is until I learned that the cast of Transformers One, the latest film in the franchise includes Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Keegan Michael Key, Brian Tyree Henry, Laurence Fishburne, Jon Hamm and Steve Buscemi. 

Directed by Josh Cooley, Transformers One is an animated action/adventure film about the origin story of sworn enemies Optimus Prime and Megatron, two transformers who were once the best of friends.

I must admit to enjoying Transformers One more than I expected to. Cooley’s film is a well-structured story. One with engaging, fun characters, funny moments, plus, visuals that will have you locked in – adults and children alike. And you certainly don’t have to be a die-hard Transformers fan to have a good time.

When forced to pick one thing to improve Cooley’s film, it would be for Megatron’s turn to the dark side to feel less rushed.

Watch Transformers One if you’re curious. You’ll likely find yourself pleasantly surprised.

FURIOSA (2024): New Trailer From Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, Charlee Fraser, Tom Burke…

Starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, Charlee Fraser and Tom Burke; Furiosa – A Mad Max Saga is the latest action/adventure/sci-fi from writer/director George Miller.

This time, the focus is on the origin story of rebel warrior Furiosa, before she meets and teams up with Mad Max.

Hello, you, beautiful chaos!

This great-looking vengeance movie trailer has me ready to see Taylor-Joy as the super angry heroine Furiosa. I’m excited to watch her journey to serve Dr. Dementus (Hemsworth in a prosthetic nose) his comeuppance.

There’s got to be no way this won’t deliver, right? Especially with such a talented cast and a wonderful trailer that has both visuals and moments of dialogue that have me yelping with delight and feeling grateful for my senses.

Furiosa: I want them back. I WANT THEM BACK!!!

Dr. Dementus: Where are you going, so full of hope? THERE IS NO HOPE!!!

Aren’t both lines just such perfect moments of dialogue? The first has me more than ready to see Furiosa execute her plans, and the second has me wondering if I’ll end up feeling a little sorry for Dementus. Especially after hearing the feeling in the brilliant way that Hemsworth delivers the above line.

No doubt I’ll take in this trailer plenty more times before the movie is released, as I imagine you will too.

Goran D. Kleut, CJ. Bloomfield, Rahel Romahn, Nathan Jones, Angus Sampson, Lachy Hulme, Alyla Browne, Daniel Webber and Nat Buchanan also star.

Furiosa – A Mad Max Saga Release Dates: May 24th, 2024 (US & UK)…
