The Nest stars Jude Law as an entrepreneur whose family life begins to take a twisted turn after moving into an English country manor.
Written/directed by Sean Durkin; Carrie Coon, Anne Reid and Charlie Shotwell are among the key cast.
This looks like a very interesting character study. I know that Law can deliver the performance, so my fingers are crossed that the story proves thoroughly worthwhile as well.
Adeel Akhtar, Tattiawna Jones, Oona Roche, Michael Culkin, Abby Stretch, James Nelson-Joyce, Michel Alexandre Gonzalez and Bernardo Santos also star.
The subject of Captain Marvel, Marvel Studios’s first superhero film with a female superhero as the main character is Carol Danvers (Brie Larson). Danvers is an officer of the United States Air Force who, following an accident, ends up becoming one of the universe’s most powerful heroes.
Also starring Lashana Lynch, Jude Law, Annette Bening and directed by Anna Boden, plus Ryan Fleck, Captain Marvel features the classic elements of the superhero origin story. Yet, it also has a couple of satisfying twists and turns I didn’t see coming, especially since I don’t read comic books.
Well-acted, adequately engaging – both story-wise and visually, what will stay with me most about this movie is the moment I realised and saw just how powerful Captain Marvel really is. A truth that had me both wowed and wondering about who holds the title for the most powerful avenger. I also couldn’t help but be curious about the important role Captain Marvel would eventually play inAvengers – Endgame (2019).
Having seen Wonder Woman (2017), DC Comics’ first female superhero movie months prior to the Captain Marvel release, part of the reason I was drawn to the latter film was to find out which of the two movies I’d find more entertaining. In short, the answer is Wonder Woman. I’m not saying I think it’s a perfect film, but I do remember enjoying the humour, story, action, musical score and visual effects that little bit more.
I’m now wondering if Wonder Woman will still come out in front once I’ve seen the sequels for both films, when they eventually arrive.
I’d say watch Captain Marvel if you’re curious but you probably already have. So instead I’ll ask, which movie did you prefer and why? Captain Marvel or Wonder Woman?
Naomie Harris, Jude Law, Emily Watson and Katherine Waterston are the stars of new drama The Third Day. A story where the line between reality and fantasy starts to blur for a man who visits a mysterious Island off the British coast.
My love for a good mystery has me intrigued. Especially considering how very creepy some of the residents of ‘paradise’ appear to be.
I now find myself wondering which ‘British island’ this was filmed on.
Paddy Considine, Gianni Calchetti, Amer Chadha-Patel, Mark Lewis Jones, Richie Lawrie, Charlotte Gairdner-Mihell, Joe Blakemore, Freya Allan, Tom Lawrence and Will Rogers also star.
The Rhythm Section (2019), Blake Lively, Paramount Pictures
In new action/mystery The Rhythm Section, Blake Lively is a woman determined to seek revenge against the people behind a plane crash that killed her family.
Directed by Reed Morano; additional key cast includes Jude Law, Sterling K. Brown and Max Casella.
Both Peppermint (2018) and Taken (2008) came to mind as this trailer played. That’s precisely after the thought, ‘Is Blake Lively speaking in a British accent?‘ The answer is yes, and my fingers are crossed that the end result is as thrilling as this trailer suggests.
Daniel Mays, Richard Brake, Raza Jaffrey, Geoff Bell, Nasser Memarzia, Jade Anouka, Jack McEvoy, Tawfeek Barhom and Ivana Basic also star.
Starring Natalie Portman and written/directed by Brady Corbet, Vox Lux is a new drama/musical about the unusual set of circumstances that end up bringing unexpected success to a pop star.
Jude Law, Christopher Abbott, Willem Dafoe and Jennifer Ehle also star.
I’m drawn to what looks like the humour and kookiness of this movie. I also just want to see the talented Portman perform in a role I didn’t quite expect her to play.
