Read my spoiler-free movie review of The Greatest Showman (2017)

The Greatest Showman tells the story of P.T. Barnum, a visionary who rose from nothing to create the mesmerising spectacle known as the circus.

Directed by Michael Gracey; Zac Efron, Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya and Michelle Williams are among the key cast.

I’m not the biggest fan of musicals but I like the cast too much to ignore this. There’s also the romance of it all, of course.

Paul Sparks, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Natasha Liu Bordizzo and Diahann Carroll also star.

The Greatest Showman Release Dates: December 25th, 2017 (US); January 1st, 2018 (UK)…

Logan is the new Wolverine movie coming in March 2017. The trailer is mighty and stars Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Boyd Holbrook and Sienna Novikov.

Directed by James Mangold, Logan is set in  a time where the X-Men are no more (2024) and Logan (Wolverine) plus Professor Charles Xavier must find another way to save the world.

This Logan trailer is like no other superhero movie trailer I’ve ever seen and I love it! It represents difference that I hadn’t been fully aware of needing. It’s also a beautifully paced and scored emotional journey.

Some of my thoughts as everything unfolded include, ‘Wow! This is dark, kind of depressingly so’. Then I was moved by how well constructed the trailer is, and I found myself even more taken-over with the joy of seeing Logan find reason to continue when he thought none existed.  Poetry, I tell you!  

Now I just really want to see Wolverine and the X-Men do their thing. I imagine you do too.

Richard E. Grant, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Stephen Merchant and Eriq La Salle also star.

Logan Release Dates: March 2nd, 2017 (UK & GER); March 3rd, 2017 (US)…

Everybody loves a story where the underdog triumphs in the face of great doubt – and so comes the film of Eddie (‘The Eagle’) Edwards; Great Britain’s first Olympic Ski Jumper.

Starring Christopher Walken, Taron Egerton, Hugh Jackman and Jim Broadbent, I’m looking forward to this one because the message is one we can all use from time to time.

I’m also excited about the comedy – and I’m certainly not just referring to Taron Egerton’s facial hair.

Eddie The Eagle is directed by Dexter Fletcher. If you didn’t already know, he played the rather memorable ‘Soap’ (the Chef) in one of my favourite – if not my absolute favourite British film, Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels (1998).

Release Date (s): February 26th, 2016 (US), April 1st, 2016 (UK)…
