The trailer for the brand new Bridget Jones movie, Bridget Jones’s Baby is here.
Teaser Trailer
Trailer 1
Trailer 2
Rene Zellweger and some of the original cast return, including Colin Firth and Jim Broadbent. Patrick Dempsey is one brand new face so far.
Directed by Sharon Maguire, who was in charge of the original film, my fingers are crossed for great things. Or, at least some fun and giggles.
Bridget Jones’s Baby Release Date: September 16th, 2016 (US & UK)…

In Genius, the new movie directed by Michael Grandage, Colin Firth is Max Perkins, the book Editor who oversaw the work of some of America’s best-known writers. Namely, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Thomas Wolfe and Ernest Hemingway.
Genius looks like the kind of movie that’ll be most interesting to writers and fans of the key actors involved. I’m just not sure that this particular cut of the trailer has me that eager to see the film. Perhaps, if the inauthenticity of Jude Law’s accent wasn’t so obvious, maybe I’d be more excited.
How about you? Are you drawn to Genius?
Nicole Kidman, Vanessa Kirby, Dominic West, Laura Linney and Guy Pearce also star.
Genius Release Dates: July 29th, 2016 (US)…

Set in London, England, Love Actually is a romantic comedy written and directed by Richard Curtis, the man responsible for hit films such as Notting Hill (1999), Bridget Jone’s Diary (2001) and most recently, About Time (2013).
Focused on the love lives of several couples in the month leading up to Christmas, Curtis’s cast represent an excellent selection of some of the UK & Ireland’s best acting talent. It is a cast that includes – to name just a few, Bill Nighy, Andrew Lincoln, Keira Knightley, Emma Thompson, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Liam Neeson.
In Love Actually, what Curtis has delivered is a very sweet and funny movie. Along with the classically British humour and eccentricities, there’s a healthy sprinkling of romance, drama and family – just the perfect balance for the holiday season.
On the other hand, there are one or two situations/relationships that I didn’t find particularly believable. Not to say that they would never happen, but they certainly felt like a stretch. Still, it is after all the festive season, so, perhaps magic is supposed to happen, yes?
My inability to ‘believe in love’ aside, Love Actually is a well paced holiday movie with all the right sentiments. I know Christmas is not quite here yet but I watched it anyway, for the love and humour.
My favourite of all the couples would have to be Billy and Joe in the recording studio, Sarah and Karl at the office and Judy and Jack. Who doesn’t like Judy and Jack?

‘What a very pleasant surprise!’
The above is my thoughts and feelings during and after watching action/adventure/comedy, Kingsman – The Secret Service.
Of course, I should have had way more faith – if only because the film is directed by Matthew Vaughn, part of the great team that brought us Snatch (2000) and Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels (1998).
Starring Colin Firth, Sofia Boutella, Samuel L Jackson, Mark Strong, Michael Caine and Taron Egerton; Kingsman – The Secret Service or Kingsman for short is a great movie.
A story of adventure, fun characters, action, well-choreographed fight sequences and some good old British gentlemanly charm.
Kingsman is also very stylish and I definitely don’t just mean the suits. There are one or two things that you’ll see coming, story-wise but even more so, the spectacle will surprise you and exceed your expectations.
All that remains for me is to patiently wait for the next instalment.
Hurry and see it, if you haven’t already. Hurry!

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Kingsman – The Secret Service (2014).
I was only mildly intrigued before, but the great new Super Bowl trailer for director Matthew Vaughn’s Kingman – The Secret Service has convinced me to watch the film.
It does help that Kingsman is written by Jane Goldman, whose other writing credits include Kick-Ass (2010) and X-Men First Class (2011).
As excited as I am, so far, there’s just one thing that doesn’t sit well with me about this trailer – and that is the claim by Alex Zane of the UK’s Sun newspaper, that Kingman – The Secret Service is ‘More Badass Than Bond.’
It’s incredibly hard for me to believe that there’s any other British spy movie more badass than Daniel Craig’s James Bond. Impossible, quite frankly. I shan’t entertain such an assertion. But I will watch this film, because it looks fantastic.
Happy Film Loving,
