Kerry Washington, Dean Norris, Susan Sarandon and Sam Waterston are the stars of The Six Triple Eight, a new Tyler Perry-directed/co-written historical drama. One about the contributions of 855 women who joined the war to fix a three-year backlog of undelivered mail.

I’m not usually the biggest watcher of Tyler Perry movies. But I hope this movie will be good. Especially since an actor of Washington’s calibre has attached their name to it.

I’m looking forward to witnessing effective teamwork, human beings lifting each other up, and much more of Washington speaking in that specific accent.

Naturally, this trailer brought to mind Hidden Figures (2016) which was super.

Sarah Jeffery, Austin Nichols, Oprah Winfrey, Gregg Sulkin, Milauna Jackson, Emily Tebbutt, Ebony Obsidian, Pepi Sonuga and Jeanté Godlock also star.

The six Triple Eight Release Dates: December 20th, 2024 (US & UK), Netflix…

Naomi Watts, Jacob Tremblay, Sarah Silverman and Jaeden Lieberher are the stars of The Book Of Henry, the Colin Trevorrow-directed movie about a single mother raising a genius child. But wait.  There’s more.

I’m intrigued because of the genius child and seemingly regular mother dynamic.  I also can’t wait for the police commissioner to get what’s coming to him.

The Book Of Henry Release Dates: June 16th, 2017 (US)…

SECRET IN THEIR EYES (2015): The Things I Liked…

Directed by Billy Ray; Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Alfred Molina are the stars of Secret in Their Eyes. A story about a group of FBI Investigators; a close-knit team for whom everything changes when they learn the identity of the victim of their new murder case.

Ray’s movie follows the events and decisions that end up leading to a surprising, yet understandable conclusion, the revelation of which is a key highlight.

Seeing evidence of the depth of the friendships between the main protagonists – before, during and after the central crime is the thing I enjoyed most about Secret in Their Eyes.

One more great moment would have been when the audience learns of the victim’s identity. But…! that little nugget was unfortunately given away for free in the trailer.

Secret In Their Eyes could have been a better movie. The cast performed well but I think they were let down by post-production, namely what felt like an awkward overuse of flashbacks and the far too revealing trailer edit. Still, watch it if you’re curious enough.

Happy Film Loving,

SECRET IN THEIR EYES (2015): A Good Thriller Is On the Way, Friends. It’s On The Way

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Secret in Their Eyes (2015).

The new Billy Ray-directed mystery/thriller Secret in Their Eyes, starring Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman and Chiwetel Ejiofor finally has a trailer and it looks good.

The fact that two of the three lead Actors have an Oscar statue at home, and the third is Oscar-nominated is a surefire sign that this will be emotional.

I’ve deliberately omitted the synopsis because I’m sure you agree that this trailer is best enjoyed when you don’t know too much beforehand.

I can tell that you also can’t wait to see Roberts being badass.

Happy Film Loving,
