Read my spoiler-free movie review of Gringo (2018)


In dark comedy Gringo, which stars Charlize Theron, David Oyelowo and Joel Edgerton, Oyelowo is Harold Soyinka, a former law-abiding citizen who, in his battle to survive, finds himself a wanted criminal.

Directed by Nash Edgerton, Amanda Seyfried, Thandie Newton and Sharlto Copley also star.

I’m looking forward to seeing Oyelowo in a comedy role because this trailer is fun. Also, Copley and Theron are usually great in comedy roles.

It’s certainly not a bad thing that something about this trailer reminds me of We’re the Millers (2013), a rather fun comedy.

Gringo Release Dates: March 9th, 2018 (US & UK)…

In the Francis Lawrence-directed Red Sparrow, which stars Jennifer Lawrence, Matthias Schoenaerts, Joel Edgerton and Jeremy Irons, a Russian spy falls for a CIA officer and considers becoming a double agent.

I’m in because the cast is great. I also want to see how it all unfolds since the story is already being compared to that of Angelina Jolie’s Salt (2010) as well as Marvel’s Black Widow.

Joely Richardson, Ciarán Hinds, Charlotte Rampling and Mary-Louise Parker also star.

Red Sparrow Release Dates: March 2nd, 2018, (US & UK); March 1st, 2018 (GER)…

BRIGHT (2017): New Trailer From Will Smith, Joel Edgerton, Noomi Rapace…

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


Will Smith, Noomi Rapace and Joel Edgerton’s new movie, Bright is directed by David Ayer and set in a world where mystical creatures live side by side with humans.

Smith plays a human cop who’s forced to work with an Orc (Edgerton) to find a weapon everyone is prepared to kill for.

I’m going to think positively about this movie for three reasons. The first two being that the story is intriguing and this trailer looks promising, even though it shows very little. Lastly,  Ayer’s last movie (Suicide Squad (2016) was far from great but he did make several before that are still celebrated today; Fury (2014) and End Of Watch (2012), to name just two.

And there I was thinking that orcs only existed in Warcraft (2016)

Edgar Ramírez, Lucy Fry, Ike Barinholtz and Kenneth Choi also star.

Bright Release Dates: December 2017 (US & UK)…

Starring Joel Edgerton, Michael Shannon and Ruth Negga, the title of todays movie, Loving isn’t just symbolic because of the nature of the story. It’s also poetic for it’s the surname of the key protagonists Richard and Mildred Loving.

Loving tells the story of the interracial couple whose 1967 court case (Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1) led to the end of all race-based legal restrictions on marriage in the United States.

I’m looking forward to a well-executed story, an important one in the fight for progress and equality.

Directed by Jeff Nichols; Bill Camp, Nick Kroll, Terry Abney and Christopher Mann also star.

Loving Release Dates: November 4th, 2016 (US); February 3rd, 2017 (UK); February 15th, 2017 (FR)…

Directed by Gavin O’Connor; Natalie Portman’s latest, Jane Got A Gun is a western; a fact you may have guessed from the title alone.

It looks like the movie will be good, especially with a promising cast that also includes Joel Egerton, Rodrigo Santoro and Noah Emmerich.

May it be close as impressive as True Grit (2010) because that movie is fantastic!

Jane Got A Gun Release Date(s): January 29th, 2016 (US); May 20th, 2016 (UK)

Happy Film Loving,
