Read my spoiler-free movie review of Birds Of Prey – And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn (2020).

The trailer for the long-awaited DC Comics Harley Quinn movie, Birds of Prey – And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn is finally here.

Directed by Cathy Yan, this new story starts after Quinn (Margot Robbie) splits up with the Joker and joins three female superheroes. Namely Black Canary, Huntress and Renee Montoya. Their mission being to save the life of a little girl from an evil crime lord.

I’m in because, maybe, finally, all the excitement and yelping with delight that was a result of my seeing Robbie’s Harley Quinn in the Suicide Squad (2016) trailer, two years ago, can deliver on its promise. Fingers, toes and everything crossed!

Derek Wilson, Matthew Willig, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Chris Messina, Rosie Perez, Charlene Amoia, Isabel Pakzad and Ali Wong also star.

Birds Of Prey – And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn Release Dates: February 7th, 2020 (US & UK)…

Directed by Drake Doremus of Like Crazy (2011), Zoe is a new sci-fi/romance story centred around two colleagues working on technology to improve and perfect romantic relationships.

Starring Ewan McGregor, Léa Seydoux, Theo James and Rashida Jones, as the colleagues’ work progresses, their discoveries become more interesting.

The subject matter definitely has my attention.

Before the trailer ended, I was already having quite a time with the question of who I’d choose if I were in Seydoux’s character’s shoes. I’m now looking forward to learning about all the variables that will help with the final choice of man or ‘machine’.

BEAUTY & THE BEAST (2017): The Thing I Liked…

The last time Disney had a live-action movie made of one of their fairy tales, I was beyond thrilled. Thrilled with the trailer, thrilled with the cast list and absolutely delighted with the end result. The movie I’m talking about is, of course, Kenneth Branagh’s Cinderella (2015), which was always going to be a hard act to follow.

Bill Condon’s Beauty & The Beast is a film I was also looking forward to. However, it doesn’t quite have the likes of acting queen Cate Blanchett on the cast list. As such, you can imagine that my enthusiasm just wasn’t the same.

Additionally, the acting and singing weren’t bad, but as a non-fan of musicals, all the singing probably didn’t help me appreciate the film more. 

I did enjoy the romance towards the end, and I think the film was alright, overall. Nevertheless, my preference remains Cinderella. Big fans of Beauty & The Beast and musicals will probably enjoy this remake of the fairy tale about a monstrous-looking prince and a young woman who fall in love. Perhaps they’ll like it as much as I do, Cinderella. I hope they do.

Aladdin 2019 is coming next, which I’ll eventually watch, maybe, even though it is a musical.

Happy Film Loving,

Starring Dan Stevens as Prince Adam/Beast, Emma Watson as Belle and Luke Evans as Gaston, the new Beauty & The Beast trailer is finally here.

I’ll be watching this simply because I love the animated version. Interestingly though, I don’t currently sense the magical feel the live action version of Cinderella (2015) gave me after I watched that specific trailer.

May the magic be there with the finished product of this new adaptation, because it does look good.

Beauty & The Beast Release Dates: March 17th, 2016 (US & UK); March 29th (FR)…

The full trailer for T2 – Trainspotting 2, the sequel to the 1999 cult classic Trainspotting is here; with Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Robert Carlyle, Ewan Bremner and more reprising their original roles.

Funny, fast, scary, but not in the horror movie sense (thank goodness), and dramatic are words that fit.

I also just love that ‘man on chair off the roof’ moment at 1:03. I’d love to know how that was shot. I imagine with plenty of very soft padding at the end of quite a short drop. Come on January!

T2 – Trainspotting Release Dates: January 27th, 2017 (UK); February 10th, 2017 (US)…
