THUNDERBOLTS* (2025): New Trailer Starring Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell…

6 Comments

Being forced to confront the darkest corners of their pasts is what’s in store for the unconventional team of antiheroes in Marvel Entertainment’s new action/fantasy/adventure, Thunderbolts*

Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell and David Harbour are among the key cast while Jake Schreier directs.

I saw Bucky’s arm in the dishwasher and thought for a second that maybe Thunderbolts* is categorised as part comedy, which would increase my chances of watching it; it is not.

Am I still a little curious? Yes. Enough for me to go to the cinema? No. Do I still want it to be good for the super fans and, because I like Pugh, plus her accent? Yes, absolutely.

Lastly, is it likely that the most I’ll ever see of Thunderbolts* is the trailers? Indeed. Nevertheless, never say never, because, you know… The Substance (2024).

Geraldine Viswanathan, Lewis Pullman, Sebastian Stan, Hannah John-Kamen, Olga Kurylenko, Wyatt Russell, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Chris Bauer, Joshua Mikel and Alireza Mirmontazeri also star.

Thunderbolts* Release Dates: May 2nd, 2025 (US & UK)…

WE LIVE IN TIME (2024) The Things I Liked…

I was almost certain I wouldn’t watch We Live in Time, the new Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh drama/romance, because of its potential to be emotionally taxing.

Having now seen it, I don’t think I cried at all. My eyes may have misted over a few times. But, director John Crowley’s story about a couple who fall in love only for one of them to fall tragically ill soon after proved easily watchable.

I’m sure partly to blame for my experience being less involved emotionally is the non-linear storytelling structure. All the jumping back and forth to different periods in the couple’s relationship, covering several years bordered on the overuse of flashbacks. Something I rarely appreciate. if at all.

The great news is, unsurprisingly, Garfield and Pugh perform brilliantly. Also, don’t be surprised if the phrases ‘perfect husband’ and ‘ideal husband’ come to mind as the movie plays.

Another thought that may come to you is: ‘Have spectacles ever complimented a human’s face more than they do Andrew Garfield’s face in this movie? The answer, quite simply is, no. Not ever.

Watch We Live in Time if you’re curious. It may give you plenty to think about, including whether you would gamble on your own life/health for a possibility because of love. There are also a few giggles to be enjoyed.

WE LIVE IN TIME (2024): New Trailer From Florence Pugh, Andrew Garfield, Aoife Hinds…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of We Live in Time (2024).

John Crowley is the director of We Live in Time, the latest drama/romance starring Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield.

It all starts with a chance encounter that leads to the decade-long love story of an up-and-coming chef and a recent divorcée.

Several thoughts: I love their meet cute. This trailer edit and use of music are beautiful. But, I’m not necessarily sure I’ll watch it and that’s largely because I’m guaranteed to boohoo if I do and I’m just not looking for that right now. Additionally, The Fault In Our Stars (2024) still feels fresh to me and the two films seem to have some commonalities.

Conversely, with trailer moments like the one that starts at 1:34 seconds and beautiful words such as ‘I’m guilty of looking ahead instead of, right in front of me, at you;’ maybe I’ll get over my hesitations. After all, I am a big fan of ‘the Pugh’, especially since her work in Midsommar (2019).

How do you feel about the We Live in Time trailer?

Aoife Hinds, Marama Corlett, Nikhil Parmar, Kevin Brewer, Adam James, Grace Molony, Gianni Calchetti, Heather Craney, Laura Guest, Daniel Bowerbank and Roe Haven also star.

OPPENHEIMER (2023): New Trailer Starring Cillian Murphy, Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh and Rami Malek…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of  Oppenheimer (2023).

American scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer‘s Christopher Nolan directed biography has a brand new trailer, and like all Nolan trailers, it does not disappoint.

Interesting and moving are the words for how it’s going to be to watch this while knowing what’s happening in the world right now. Yet, with such a magnificent Filmmaking team lead by Nolan, and starring Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Florence Pugh and Rami Malek, I say bring it on.

Bring on the audiovisual feast that is a Christopher Nolan film. I’m ready for my traditional pause for silent reflection at the end. Reflection on how grateful I am for film and its position as the perfect amalgamation of all the arts.

Robert Downey Jr., Gary Oldman, James Remar, Casey Affleck, Jack Quaid, David Krumholtz, Benny Safdie, Michael Angarano, Josh Hartnett and Kenneth Branagh also star.

OPPENHEIMER (2023): New Trailer From Christopher Nolan, Starring Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Rami Malek, Florence Pugh…

Christopher Nolan’s latest film stars Cillian Murphy, Rami Malek, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon and Florence Pugh.

Biography/historical drama Oppenheimer is the story of American scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer. Specifically the part he played in the development of the atomic bomb.

My all-time favourite movie trailer happens to be for a Christopher Nolan Film. As such, it’s unsurprising that the long-awaited full trailer for his latest work also has me excited to the point I was moved to yelp joyfully as it played.

All my joyful yelping and excitement aside, brilliant and certainly chilling are two words that seem fitting regarding the energy and dialogue present in this trailer. And since Murphy is an actor who always delivers in his performances; if the transformation in his eyes is anything to go by, I can hardly wait to be moved in all the ways I’m bound to be.

Of course, there’s also the stunning cinematography courtesy of Hoyte van Hoytema, who most recently worked on Nope (2022), Tenet (2020) and, Dunkirk (2017).
