Four teenagers are sucked into Jumanji‘s world, pitted against rhinos, black mambas and an endless variety of jungle traps and puzzles.

To return to planet Earth with their lives, they simply have to beat the game.

Directed by Jake Kasden, the stars of Jumanji – Welcome To The Jungle are Kevin Hart, Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black and Karen Gillan.

All I remember about Robin Williams’ Jumanji (1995) is that the characters sported khaki attire and ran away from stuff in the jungle. That’s it.

I’m glad that this trailer looks very promising. I’m most excited about the humour.

Nick Jonas, Missi Pyle and Rhys Darby also star.

Jumanji – Welcome To The Jungle  Release Dates: December 22nd, 2017 (US); December 29th, 2017 (UK)…

KUNG FU PANDA 3 (2016): For The Overwhelming Cuteness…

I’m certain that most people, especially children will find Kung Fu Panda 3 very entertaining indeed.

Directed by Alessandro Carloni and Jennifer Yuh Nelson, Kung Fu Panda 3 has a lovely message about fulfilling your destiny, doing the right thing, family, friendship,  etc, which is beautiful. Nevertheless, I, for one, watched Kung Fu Panda 3 mainly for the humour. The story is good, too, but the cuteness of the animals was another big draw – and on that basis, the movie fully delivered.

Bryan Cranston’s Li voice and the ‘egg laying out of fear’ joke/sequence are definite highlights.

Watch it for the reasons above and because it’s truly good and fun.

Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, J.K. Simmons Seth Rogen, Jackie Chan and Lucy Liu are among the the key cast.

KUNG FU PANDA 3 (2016): Fun New Trailer Starring Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Bryan Cranston…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016).


Just when I thought I’d have to wait until the next Minions movie for a much-welcomed overload of animated cuteness…

I’ve seen pandas in real life, and let me say, yes, they are super cute. However, pandas can also be incredibly boring! Sitting around and eating bamboo all day long. As such, thank heavens for overactive imaginations – the result of which, in this case, is the above entertaining trailer for Kung Fu Panda 3.

I love that the Kung Fu Panda movies are about finding your true self, plus being funny and cute, something I’m always happy to get more of.

Jack Black, Lucy Liu, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Brian Cranston and Dustin Hoffman are providing just some of the key voices.

Kung Fu Panda 3 Release Date (s): January 29th, 2016, March 11th, 2016 (UK)…

THE HOLIDAY (2006): Good At Christmas & Any Other Time The Mood Strikes…

Set in England and Los Angeles during the festive season, The Holiday stars Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Jack Black and Cameron Diaz.

Written/directed by Nancy Meyers, the story of the four main and very relatable characters is beautifully told and features the perfect musical score by the great, one and only, Hans Zimmer.

My favourite scene which I’m sure is also the favourite of many others is the one in the fort that features two talented child actors, Emma Pritchard (Olivia) and Miffy Englefield (Sophie).

The Holiday is a film to watch when you’re in the mood for a good romance/comedy, whether it’s Christmas or not. Lastly, I’m not at all mad at the undeniable Bridget Jone’s Diary (2001) vibe.

Watch it because it’s good, funny and romantic.

Happy Film Loving,

R.L. Stine (Jack Black) is the real life award winning author of hugely successful young adult horror stories. Goosebumps is one of his series, and the second trailer for the film adaption just arrived.

The trailer editors appear to have tried to match the original goosebumps font towards the end of the trailer. Though I’m not sure why they didn’t at 1:03 minutes.
