DUMPLIN’ (2018): New Trailer From Jennifer Aniston, Danielle Macdonald, Odeya Rush, Dove Cameron, Harold Perrineau…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Dumplin’ (2018).


In new comedy/drama/musical Dumplin‘, the plus-size teenage daughter of a former beauty queen decides to sign up for her mom’s Miss Teen Bluebonnet pageant. Doing so ends up revolutionising the pageant and their small Texas town.

Dumplin is directed by Anne Fletcher, and stars Jennifer Aniston, Danielle Macdonald, Odeya Rush, Harold Perrineau and Dove Cameron.

Reasons to be excited about this one include the promise of humour, the fact that I enjoy Aniston in comedy roles, and Harold Perrineau in drag as ‘Rhea Ranged.’

Luke Benward, Bex Taylor-Klaus, Sam Pancake and Joshua Allan Eads also star.

Dumplin’ Release Dates: December 7th, 2018 (US)…

In The Yellow Birds, two young soldiers, navigate the terrors of the Iraq war while one of them is tortured by a promise he made before their deployment.

Directed by Alexandre Moors; Jennifer Aniston, Tye Sheridan, Alden Ehrenreich and Toni Collette star.

What an exciting cast. I can’t wait to find out what the deep dark secret is.

Perhaps, The Yellow Birds will join The Hurt Locker (2018) as one of my favourite war movies.

The Yellow Birds Release Dates: June 15th, 2018 (US)…

STORKS (2016): Funny, Cute Adventure…

Storks is an action / adventure / comedy set in a time when storks deliver packages instead of babies; but then a brand new baby order appears and a stork must what? ‘Always deliver,’ of course.

Starring Andy Samberg, Kelsey Grammer, Ty Burrell, Jennifer Aniston and Katie Crown, Storks is definitely fun and funny. Though it’s not my favourite of the animated films I’ve seen in 2016, I did enjoy the cuteness of all the babies, the nature of Hunter’s relationship with the little birds, the very unique skills of the wolf pack and the general adorableness of Nate Gardner.

There’s also that beautiful song at the end, ‘Fire and the Flood’ by Vance Joy; a singer who just happens to look like a smaller version of comedy actor, Josh Gad.

In case like myself you rather like the idea of storks delivering babies instead of the usual pain fest that’s actual labour, there’s a slight chance that you may find yourself feeling a little blue by the end of this movie, but luckily not for too long.

Watch Storks for all the good things mentioned above. Lastly, had it not been for the end credits, there’s no way I’d have guessed that Junior is voiced by Andy Samberg, such is his great vocal range.

OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY (2016): New Trailer From Jennifer Aniston, Olivia Munn, Jason Bateman…

Office Christmas Party is the latest comedy from T.J. Miller, Olivia Munn, Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman.

Directed by Josh Gordon and Will Speck, the story involves a bunch of grownup office workers partying hard and behaving quite badly.

Ill advised as it may be, Jennifer Aniston and my love for her work on Horrible Bosses (2011) is the key reason I’ll be tuning in.

Not that I  want a carbon copy, of course. Nevertheless, I’d much rather this movie be like Horrible Bosses than  The Night Before (2015). The former was brilliant but the latter? Only good in trailer form.

May this also be nothing like Sisters (2015), a movie similar to The Night Before in the way that it features grownups unconvincingly doing things and behaving in ways that would make sense for teenagers only.

Office Christmas Party Release Dates: December 9th, 2016 (US & UK)…

If you’re familiar with Valentine’s Day (2010) and New Years Eve (2011), then you have a pretty  good idea of what you’re in for with Mother’s Day, the latest film from the director of all three movies, Garry Marshall. 

Starring Kate Hudson, Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, Jason Sudeikis and Timothy Olyphant, the collision of intersecting stories on said holiday is what happens in Mother’s Day.

Having watched both of Marshall’s other two aforementioned films, both of which I found adequately entertaining, I’m expecting the same of this movie.

Jack Whitehall, Brit Robertson, Shay Mitchell and Aasif Mandvi also star.

Mother’s Day Release Dates: April 29th, 2016 (US); June 17th, 2016 (UK)…
