Benedict Cumberbatch, Kate McKinnon, Olivia Colman and Andy Samberg are the stars of The Roses.
This new Jay Roach-directed comedy/drama follows a couple whose deceptively picture-perfect relationship finally comes crashing down, thanks to festering resentments and competition.
Yeah! I like relationship stories like this one. The premise is different, but this trailer gives the same vibes as one of my favourites. Namely, It’s Complicated (2009).
Bring on the amusing antics, for Colman and Cumberbatch are a great comedy pairing. As are Samberg and Mckinnon.
Will you be watching this one too?
Ncuti Gatwa,, Jamie Demetriou, Sunita Mani, Zoë Chao, Hala Finley, Belinda Bromilow, Akie Kotabe, Caroline Partridge and Simon Strutt also star.
The journey to try and save the Overworld is well underway in the latest A Minecraft Movie trailer.
Danielle Brooks, Jason Momoa, Jennifer Coolidge and Jack Black star, while Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite (2004) directs.
Sometimes, a trailer doesn’t quite hit the first time I see it. Other times, it never will, even after the fourth or fifth viewing.
I enjoyed the A Minecraft Movie teaser trailer, and I’m glad to confirm that, even though this trailer ‘didn’t quite hit’ upon first viewing, surprise, surprise; I’m now into it.
Something tells me that the fun The Angry Bird(2016)movie vibes it’s giving has a portion to do with it.
A Minecraft Movie is a new action/adventure/family/fantasy film starring Jack Black, Danielle Brooks, Jason Momoa and Jennifer Coolidge.
Directed by Jared Hess; the story begins when an Ender Dragon sets out on a path of destruction. The kind that prompts a young girl and her group of unlikely adventurers to try and save the Overworld.
The above synopsis means absolutely nothing to me as I only know of Mincraft by name. However, the trailer appears to have that light-hearted silliness I could like. Plus, the cast screams fun, doesn’t it?
Right away, I like Brooks and Momoa’s cartoonish look. No doubt, players of Minecraft will be a lot more excited by this.
Kate McKinnon, Jemaine Clement, Myers, and Sebastian Eugene Hansen also star.
For those who read my Barbie movie trailer post, I must first confirm that I did not develop a greater love for pink as I imagined I might. I still like pink just fine, as always. What I do appreciate more now after seeing director Greta Gerwig’s rather fun Barbie film is the casting of Ryan Gosling as Ken.
To clarify, I was never against Gosling’s casting, nor did I read the details of why some believed it to be a mistake. I was curious about the story, especially once it became clear that an existential crisis would be at its core.
How Barbie’s aforementioned internal crisis plays out makes for a watchable emotional journey that starts with her seemingly perfect days in Barbie Land, to the discovery of a different life in the real world. Add to that some female empowerment plus Ken’s own crisis, and we have a script that balances both story arcs well while delivering a Barbie movie worth the heavily pink-hued adventure.
Barbie (2023), Margot Robbie, Warner Bros. Pictures
Barbie will almost certainly be enjoyed most by serious fans who grew up playing with and loving Barbie dolls. I do not fit neatly into that category, but enjoy myself I certainly did. I’m sure it helps that I found no fault with the film’s well-imagined set/costume design. Additionally, there’s Gosling and Margot Robbie’s believable portrayals of the doll experiences in both the real world and Barbie Land.
The characters played by Issa Rae, Kate Mckinnon and Michael Cera are notable additional highlights, not to forget the delightful dance numbers performed by all the Kens.
I recommend Barbie, a fun, light-hearted summer movie that stands firmly on its own, even though it is simultaneously a great antidote for Oppenheimer (2023).
Lastly, the following is more to do with my specific criteria for the kind of films I watch at home versus the theatre. But, as Barbie played, I remember thinking I could have easily watched it at home instead of at the cinema. Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to Barbie’s streaming release. Because it’s very clear to me that the rewatch value is decidedly strong with this one.
Have you already seen Barbie? And if you have, how perfect was that ending?
From writer/director Laura Steinel, Family is the story of Kate.
Kate enjoys her life as a career-focused woman. That is until out of the blue, her estranged brother calls her for help with babysitting his tween daughter for one night. Kate reluctantly agrees but then one night becomes a week.
I’m looking forward to seeing Schilling do well in a role that seems to fit her well. It helps that I have one or two things in common with her character, Kate.
Jessie Ennis, Matt Walsh, Eric Edelstein, Karan Kendrick, Suehyla El-Attar and Heather McMahanalso star.
