21 JUMP STREET (2012): For the Fun Action & Bromance…

My favourite thing about directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s action/comedy 21 Jump Street is, I want to say ‘everything’ because I really had a great time watching this movie. Nevertheless, if I had to choose one thing, it’s of course the beautiful bromance between Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill’s characters. They play two underachieving cops who are sent back to high school to bring down a synthetic drug ring. It’s a good balance of comedy and action with a soft-ish centre of good old-fashioned brotherly bonding.

In addition to co-stars Ice Cube and Johnny Depp, another highlight for me was recognising a younger Brie Larson among the cast. Watch 21 Jump Street for the fun bromance. Though it’s definitely not number one on my top ten bromance movies list (because Pineapple Express (2008) rules); it is a fun and funny ‘adults back in high school’ movie experience, with a side of undercover cop action.

MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS (2017): New Trailer From Kenneth Branagh, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Penélope Cruz, Daisy Ridley…

Murder On The Orient Express has a very impressive cast list; one that includes, Kenneth Branagh who’s also the film’s director, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Penélope Cruz, Daisy Ridley and Josh Gad – to name just a few.  

Based on Agatha Christie’s famous novel of the same name, this mystery/crime/drama is set on a lavish train ride through Europe. A ride that has thirteen strangers stranded on a train and everyone is a murder suspect.

It’s up to Hercule Poirot (Branagh) to race against time to solve the puzzle before the murderer strikes again.

The very talented cast, the fashion, cinematography and story are all great reasons to watch this version of Murder On The Orient Express.

The filming style teased in this trailer is equally appealing, along with Hercule Poirot’s accent, particularly the way he says ‘evil.’

Murder On The Orient Express Release Dates: November 3rd, 2017 (UK); November 10th, 2017 (US)…

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN – DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES (2017): New Trailer From Johnny Depp, Javier Bardem, Brenton Thwaites…

The trailer for the latest Jonny Depp movie, Pirates of the Caribbean – Dead Men Tell No Tales is here.

Teaser trailer

This  is a great teaser trailer because it’s the face of Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow that fans can’t wait to see. Yet, he’s only on screen by name and illustration. Not to say that the reveal of Javier Bardem as Captain Salazer wasn’t also a visual delight.

Teaser trailer 2

Orlando Bloom, Brenton Thwaites, Kaya Scodelario and Golshiftel Farahani also star. This should be fun.

Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales Release Dates: May 25th, 2017 (GER); May 26th, 2016 (US & UK)…

ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS (2016): New Trailer For The Alice In Wonderland Sequel…

I had no idea that what was missing from my life was another Alice in Wonderland movie. That was until I saw the rather beautiful new trailer for Alice Through The looking Glass.

Trailer 1

Trailer 2

I remember loving 2010’s  Alice In Wonderland (2010). As such, I hope that at the very least , this will be close to as good as its predecessor.  Especially considering Tim Burton’s highly imaginative brain isn’t the one in the director’s chair this time.

Bring on the colours, the rhymes and the brilliant costumes!

Johnny Depp, Mia Wasikowska, Anne Hathaway, Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter make up some of the colourful cast.

Release Date (s): May 27th, 2016 (UK & US)…

BLACK MASS (2015) Trailer 2, Looking forward To The Humour

Trailer 2 for Black Mass, one of the year’s most promising films is here.

Featuring the brilliant acting talents of Johnny Depp, Benedict Cumberbatch and Dakota Johnson, to name just a few, the story of James ‘ Whitey’ Bulger, south Boston’s most infamous violent criminal is looking like something no true film fan is going to want to miss. I can tell you agree.

After seeing this trailer, what’s suddenly very intriguing is the female characters. Particularly how much denial they were likely in. I guess we’ll all find out in 5/6 months.

I get the feeling that the soundtrack to this movie  is going to be memorable.

Black Mass Release Dates: September 18th, 2015 (US), November 25th, 2015 (UK)…
