Read my spoiler-free movie review of  Atomic Blonde (2017).

Starring Charlize Theron, James McAvoy, John Goodman, Sofia Boutella and directed by David Leitch, Atomic Blonde is all about an undercover MI6 agent who is sent to Berlin during the Cold War.

The mission is to investigate the murder of a fellow agent and recover a missing list of double agents.

The first thing I like is how the plot reads. It somehow brings to mind ideas of a female James Bond character, which is rather exciting.

As a big Theron fan, I look forward to watching her administer a tonne of serious ass-kicking.

‘Well done, trailer maker!’ is what I must say as I try not to get ahead of myself. Especially because this trailer edit already has me desperate to place Atomic Blonde next to Casino Royale (2006) in my list of favourite action thrillers.

You feel it too, yes?

Atomic Blonde Release Dates: July 28th, 2017 (US), August 11th, 2017 (UK)…

Split, the new horror/thriller starring James McAvoy and Anya Taylor Joy is from writer/director M. Night Shyamalan, better known for the impressive The Sixth Sense (1999).

Usually, I’d be certain to stay away from scary movies, but in this one, McAvoy will be portraying at least 23 characters/personalities.

Word is out that Joy is quite the talent. So it may be time for me to experience one of her movies instead of only getting as far as the trailer because it looks too scary.

Someone recommended that I start with The Witch (2015), but they clearly don’t know me well enough. Currently, Morgan (2016) is as scary as I’m willing to go.

Split Release Dates: January 20th, 2017 (US & UK); January 26th, 2017 (GER); March 1st, 2017 (FR)…

Friday has arrived with a trailer I wasn’t aware was the thing missing from y week/life.

Starring Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Jennifer Lawrence, director Bryan Singer’s  X-Men: Apocalypse is the latest instalment of the X-Men franchise, and it looks good.

Trailer 1

Trailer 2

I like both trailers. For trailer one, specific footage and dialogue are especially great. What I’m less keen on is the continued use of the music first heard at 1:10, because, for me, once is quite enough.

My wish is that it all unfolds beautifully upon release.

Release date(s): May 19th, 2016 (UK), May 27th, 2016 (US)…

VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN (2015): New Trailer With Daniel Radcliffe & James McAvoy

Starring two of my favourite British actors, Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy, this version of the Frankenstein tale should be interesting. Firstly it’s from Igor’s perspective, rather than Frankensein’s which is new and interesting. Second, it’s set before the Frankenstein we’re most familiar with today emerges.

Without further a do…

Directed by Paul McGuigan of Lucky Number Slevin (2006), (a movie I recommend), bring on November 25th.

Happy Film Loving,
