Read my spoiler-free movie review of Charlie’s Angels (2019).

Charlie’s Angels is an updated version of the action movie released in 2000 – a movie inspired by the 1970s television series.

With Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore now out of the picture; Elizabeth Banks directs Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska as the new Charlie’s Angels.

I watched the 2000 Charlie’s Angels movie a long time ago. As such, I don’t fully recall how I felt about it overall. I think I liked it, and I definitely love the Destiny’s Child song (Independent Women) that was included in the soundtrack.

Having now seen this new trailer, let’s just say that I’m hopeful this reboot will pleasantly surprise us all. Fingers, toes and everything crossed!

Luis Gerardo Méndez, Jonathan Tucker, Noah Centineo, Sam Claflin, Djimon Hounsou, Patrick Stewart and Robert Maaser also star.

Charlie’s Angels Release Dates: November 15th, 2019 (US); November 29th, 2019 (UK)…

BRIGHTBURN (2019): New Trailer From Elizabeth Banks, Meredith Hagner, David Denman…

In new horror movie Brightburn, a child from another world crash-lands on Earth, only, instead of becoming a hero to mankind, he’s something far worse.

Directed by David Yarovesky; Elizabeth Banks, Meredith Hagner, David Denman, Jackson A. Dunn and Matt Jones star.

Banks is my reason for wanting to see this one. Whether I make it to the theatre or not is another matter entirely. I mean, after all, this is categorised as horror rather than horror/drama/mystery. You know, like  A Quiet Place (2017) –  a scary-ish movie I had no issue watching because I knew it wouldn’t be too terrifying, due to it only being part horror rather than solely categorised as horror.

Brightburn Release Dates: May 24th, 2019 (US & UK)…

Directed by Brian Henson;  Melissa McCarthy, Elizabeth Banks and Joel McHale star in The Happytime Murders, an action/comedy about a disgraced LAPD detective-turned-private eye puppet. 

The private eye puppet is determined to solve the case when the puppet cast of an ’80s children’s TV show begins to get murdered one by one.

I don’t yet know what to make of this. I’m just glad that the word ‘Muppets’ isn’t in the title, considering the ‘R’ rating. It will hopefully be a good comedy, thanks to the involvement of Banks in particular and McCarthy.

Fingers firmly crossed.

The Happytime Murders Release Dates: August 17th, 2018 (US); August 24th, 2018 (UK)…

POWER RANGERS (2017): New Trailer From Elizabeth Banks, Bryan Cranston, Bill Hader…

Based on the hit children’s TV series, and directed by Dean Israelite, Power Rangers stars Elizabeth Banks, Bill Hader and Bryan Cranston. 

The actual  Power Rangers are played by Ludi Lin (The Black Ranger), RJ Cyler (The Blue Ranger), Naomi Scott (The Pink Ranger), Becky G (The Yellow Ranger) and Dacre Montgomery (The Red ranger). They are a group of high school students infused with superpowers that they must harness to save the world.

I used to watch the TV series growing up. Something, namely the trailer, plus the high number of super hero movies in recent years, and my current feelings (boredom), where superhero movies are concerned, tells me one thing. I should probably leave this movie to the die-hard fans, and the young people who are still  into the TV series. I haven’t quite fully decided just yet.

What is your level of enthusiasm for this one?

Power Rangers Movie Release Dates: March 23rd, 2017 (GER); March 24th, 2017 (US & UK)…
