Mark Wahlberg, Iko Uwais, Lauren Cohan, and John Malkovich are the stars of new action/thriller Mile 22.

Directed by Peter Berg, Mile 22 is the story of an elite American intelligence officer and a top-secret tactical command unit whose job it is to smuggle a mysterious police officer with sensitive information out of the country.

I really want this to be the kind of America/Asia movie hit I’ve been waiting for.

I’m most excited for the classic Wahlberg brand of charm and ‘badassery.’ And of course, the impressive Martial arts skills of Iko Uwais.

This trailer is definitely longer than it needed to be, but the visuals and dialogue are so very promising. I know it’s a little early to say, but I’m thinking that this could be my ‘trailer of the week’.

Ronda Rousey, Sala Baker and Terry Kinney also star.

Mile 22 Release Dates: August 3rd, 2018 (US), August 10th, 2018 (UK)…

All the Money in the World is the story of a left-wing paramilitary organisation in Italy. One that hatched a massive kidnapping plot in the 1970s.

Directed by Ridley Scott; Christopher Plummer, Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Williams and Timothy Hutton star.

To save one’s grandson and let the world know that you negotiate with terrorists, or sacrifice your grandson so that no one ever thinks that they can demand and receive a ransom from you, ever again.

Whatever Mr. Getty does or doesn’t do, it should be interesting to watch, especially with such a talented and super-engaging cast.

All The Money In The World Release Dates: December 22nd, 2017 (US); January 5th, 2018 (UK)…

DADDY’S HOME 2 (2017): New Trailer From Mark Wahlberg, Will Ferrell, Mel Gibson, John Lithgow, John Cena…

The first Daddy’s Home (2015) movie starring Mark Wahlberg, Will Ferrell and Linda Cardelilni featured a ‘cool biological dad versus new and not so cool stepdad’ dynamic between Ferrell and Wahlberg.

For the Sean Anders-directed sequel, the same dynamic remains, except this time, Ferrell and Wahlberg’s characters are the best of friends, but their dads, played by Mel Gibson and John Lithgow, are certainly not that.

The original film was okay and featured some memorable scenes. I’ll be tuning in this time for much of the same and hopefully more. I already love that kiss between Lithgow and Ferrell’s characters.

Daddy’s Home 2 Release Dates: November 10th, 2017 (US); November 22nd, 2017 (UK)…

The trailer for the Michael Bay-directed fifth Transformers movie, Transformers – The Last Knight starring Mark Wahlberg, Josh Duhamel, Anthony Hopkins and Stanley Tucci is finally here.

I loved the first Tranformers film; the one that starred Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox. The second instalment was so disappointing that I haven’t yet been able return to the franchise.

Maybe I’ll  watch this because of the special effects and Anthony Hopkins – but really, I think this may be a movie most ideal for those who love big fiery explosions more than the average amount – which of course is absolutely fine.

DADDY’S HOME (2015): The Thing I liked…

Stepdad/biological dad comedy, Daddy’s Home stars Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell, a pair who have shown great onscreen chemistry in the past. For example, 2010’s The Other Guys.

Directed by Sean Anders, Daddy’s Home won’t ask too much of you except that you sit down, relax, and accept a few laughs. Generally speaking, you’ll be ok as long as you don’t mind the absence of surprises, plot-wise.

The best thing about the movie, for me is the onscreen chemistry and verbal sparring between the two lead actors. If you love Farrell and or Wahlberg, you’ll probably watch the movie regardless. So, to that I say, enjoy! I’m excited for you about Daddy’s Home 2, which is due in November 2017.

Happy Film Loving,
