Good Fortune, the latest action/comedy from writer/director and star Aziz Ansari, has a new trailer.

Also starring Keke Palmer, Keanu Reeves, Sandra Oh and Seth Rogen, the story follows Reeves as rather inept angel Gabriel, a meddler in the lives of two earthlings.

I was right when, following the first trailer, I guessed that the story would somehow connect Rogen and Ansari’s characters.

What wasn’t clear was precisely how. Now that I know, I look forward to learning how it all turns out. Especially because I like Ansari and Rogen as the main stars, and Reeves as the one to help them make sense of their lives.

I also like how this seems a little less silly than the first trailer suggested, which makes it even more promising. Are you more likely to watch Good Fortune after seeing this new trailer?

Joe Anoa’i, Sherry Cola, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Jennifer Woods, Cari Shayne, Jesus Garcia and Adrian Dev also star.

Good Fortune Release Dates: October 17th, 2025 (US & UK)…

GOOD FORTUNE (2025): New Trailer From Keanu Reeves, Seth Rogen, Aziz Ansari, Sandra Oh…

Written/directed by and starring Aziz Ansari, Good Fortune is a new action comedy about an angel named Gabriel, who meddles in the lives of two earthlings.

Also starring Keanu Reeves, Sandra Oh, and Seth Rogen, it’s important to note that, though well-meaning, Gabriel is quite inept.

It’s Reeves, Ansari and Rogen. I like this mix and the promising brand of silly. Already wondering about precisely how Gabriel is going to meddle. My guess is that he’ll connect Rogen and Ansari’s characters.

Has the fun cast convinced you to tune into this one too?

Keke Palmer, Joe Anoa’i, Sherry Cola, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Jennifer Woods, Cari Shayne, Jesus Garcia and Adrian Dev also star.

WICK IS PAIN (2025): The Things I Liked…

I’m far from the biggest fan of the John Wick franchise. But, because I appreciate the beautiful audio-visual feast that it is, thanks to the awe-inspiring cinematography, remarkable ‘gun fu’ fight sequences, and all the notable stuntwork, I made time. 

Having now experienced it, I’m certain that Wick is Pain is a must-see for all John Wick fans. Especially since its director, Jeffrey Doe, gives us a well-structured documentary about all the hard work and determination it took to bring the stories to audiences. Pain of various kinds is absolutely involved, but thankfully, plenty of fun too.

Make time for the deep dive into the world of Wick, the history of the creatives involved and the company of Monsieur Reeves. Undoubtedly, for me, the latter is a key highlight. 

Keanu Reeves, John Wick director Chad Stahelski, producers Erica Lee, Basil Iwany, and John Wick stunt double/coordinator Jackson Spidell are some of the key people featured.

WICK IS PAIN (2025): New Trailer For John Wick Documentary Starring Keanu Reeves, Basil Iwany, kErica Lee…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Wick is Pain (2025).

Some dedicated John Wick fans may find themselves disappointed because Wick is Pain, isn’t the next instalment in the John Wick Franchise, a.k.a John Wick 5. But rather, a documentary about the independent film turned billion-dollar franchise that stars Keanu Reeves.

Directed by Jeffrey Doe, Wick is Pain features Reeves, producers Basil Iwany, Erica Lee and John Wick stunt double/coordinator Jackson Spidell and director Chad Stahelski.

I rarely watch behind-the-scenes documentaries these days. But for this, I can make an exception. If Reeves and the chance to spend time in the colourful world of Wick wasn’t enough, I just want to learn more about the horse stunt scene.

Where do you sit regarding behind-the-scenes documentaries? Watched any great ones lately?

POINT BREAK (1991): The Things I Liked…

My Keanu Reeves appreciation period continues with director Kathryn Bigelow’s Point Break, a good action/adventure/thriller about a Rookie F.B.I. agent who goes undercover to catch suspected bank-robbing surfers. 

As a fan of both Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze, their dynamic in this movie, coupled with all the ways the story is engaging and good in surprising ways, add up to why Bigelow’s film is memorable.

I suspect that even now – thirty-four years since it was released, Point Break still has one of the most memorable endings of any movie. How very wise of me to have watched this version instead of the unfortunate 2015 remake. 

If you’ve never seen Point Break and you’re curious, enjoy this early and notable Bigelow film, long before she delighted movie fans with The Hurt Locker (2008) and Zero Dark Thirty (2012).

Happy Film Loving,
