OTHER MOMMY (2026): New Trailer From Jessica Chastain, Jay Duplass, Arabella Olivia Clark…

7 Comments

New Rob Savage-directed horror film Other Mommy stars Jessica Chastain, Jay Duplass and Arabella Olivia Clark.

Clark plays Bela, an eight-year-old who confronts the sinister entity, a.k.a. ‘Other Mommy,’ that comes out of her closet.

Could we possibly have an AI shenanigans movie to really get excited about here?

Chastain’s involvement certainly has me hopeful. And for some strange reason, my usual ‘horror, too scary’ alarm bells aren’t ringing for this one. Could it be that I misguidedly don’t find AI scary movies terrifying?

I wonder how AI mommy ended up in Bela’s home in the first place. That, I’m really curious about.

Alejandro Nieves, Karen Allen, Carrie Dimaculangan, Sean Kaufman, Dichen Lachman, Arian Moayed, Travis Nelson, Rosie Anne O’Gorman, Adam Silver, Hayley Spelman and Eleanor Jordan O’Farrell also star.

Other Mommy Release Dates: October 9th, 2026 (US & UK)…

THE SAVANT (2025): New Trailer From Jessica Chastain, James Badge Dale, Nnamdi Asomugha…

The Savant stars Jessica Chastain as a top-secret investigator whose targets are America’s most violent men, as she infiltrates internet hate groups to bring them down.

Nnamdi Asomugha and James Badge Dale also star, while Simon Stone directs.

This is scarily dark for my current tastes, but I remain interested because it’s Chastain and inspired by a true story.

Also, such vital investigative work suggests an additional meaning for the term ‘first responder,’ doesn’t it?

Will you be watching this one?

Cole Doman, Michael Patrick Thornton, Trinity Lee Shirley, Julian Wanderer, Richard Gant, Laurissa Romain and Valentino Musumeci also star.

MOTHER’S INSTINCT (2024): New Trailer Starring Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Josh Charles, Anders Danielsen Lie…

12 Comments

Jessica Chastain, Josh Charles, Anne Hathaway and Anders Danielsen Lie are the stars of new drama/thriller Mother’s Instinct.

Directed by Benoît Delhomme, at the centre of the story is a tragic accident that leads to guilt, suspicion and paranoia between two women who were once the best of friends.

Based on the title alone, I’m going to guess that Chastain’s character is right. I think that Hathatway’s Celine is the grief-stricken mother who’s lost her mind.

I say all this of course, as someone who has never watched the French film (Derrière la haine (2018) by Barbara Abel, on which both films are based. I’m excited to watch two wonderful actors continually raise each other’s game with every word and look they utter. Not that either of their games needed raising, mind you.

Are you looking forward to a promising psychological thriller, one of a few among the many blockbusters due to come our way this year?

Caroline Lagerfelt, Alexander Blaise, Keeley Miller, Steve Routman, Lauren Yaffe and Baylen D. Bielitz also star.

THE GOOD NURSE (2022): The Things I Liked…

12 Comments

Often, when movies are described as a slow burn, my heart sinks a little because it can mean that the pace is lacking in the most unsatisfying way.

Luckily, it just so happens that The Good Nurse, the latest biography/crime/drama from Danish director Tobias Lindholm, is the kind of slow burn you want people to mean when they describe a movie as such.

Smartly shot, well-edited and acted, Lindholm’s film is based on a true story about an infamous caregiver who is linked to the deaths of hundreds of hospital patients. 

Oscar winners Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne both deliver notable performances. Additional highlights include the camera work, how dramatic and quieter moments are captured, plus the pairing of Noah Emmerich and Nnamdi Asomugha in their specific roles.

Watch The Good Nurse for a welcome reminder of how highly engaging a film described as a slow burn can be.

THE GOOD NURSE (2022): New Trailer From Jessica Chastain, Eddie Redmayne, Kim Dickens, Nnamdi Asomugha…

2 Comments

Read my spoiler-free movie review of  The Good Nurse (2022).

New biography/crime/drama The Good Nurse follows an infamous caregiver who finds themselves implicated in the deaths of hundreds of hospital patients.

Directed by Tobias Lindholm; Jessica Chastain, Eddie Redmayne, Noah Emmerich and Nnamdi Asomugha are among the key cast.

I’d been missing seeing Redmayne on screen, so I’m watching this for that reason and the chilling fact that this is based on a true story.

As someone who has resisted looking up details about the truth about these characters, I’m now especially curious to understand the thinking behind the ‘one neck, two heads’ artwork above. I’m scared that the truth is far darker than this trailer suggests. There’s of course, also a chance that I’m seriously overthinking matters. Still, I’m cautiously excited to find out.

Malik Yoba, Ajay Naidu, Marcia Jean Kurtz, Maurice J. Irvin, Jennifer Regan, Gabe Fazio, Brooke Stacy Mills and Alix West Lefler also star.

The God Nurse Release Dates: October 26th, 2022 (US)…
