In the below trailer for latest thriller starring Oscar Isaac and Garrett Hedlund, I noticed a few things.
Written/directed by William Monahan; the choice of music is what first stood out in this trailer. Some of the editing and the bass in Hedland’s voice are two additional highlights.
The main thing that concerns me at this point is the seemingly excessive use of ‘brother.’ Hopefully, they rein that in for the finished film and Mojave ends up great. Especially considering how very intrigued I am by Hedlund’s character.
Silly, with several funny and moving moments, plus all the right messages for the christmas season is just one way to describe Elf.
Starring Will Ferrell in the title role, and directed by Jon Favreau; I’ve heard many people refer to Elf as their favourite Christmas movie. Having now seen it, I can’t say it’s mine, however Ferrell does a positively memorable job with his character.
If you weren’t already a fan of Ferrell, it’s quite likely that after the movie, you’ll recognise and applaud his comic capabilities. Just make sure you’re in the mood for some silly beforehand.
Zooey Dechanel’s beautiful singing voice and the characters played by Faison Love and Peter Dinklage are two more of my favourite things about Elf.
Watch it for a reminder of why so many people can’t help but look forward to Will Ferrell in comedy roles. Daddy’s Home (2015) is his latest comedy, which will arrive just in time for Christmas 2015 and I’m certainly looking forward to it.
The chemistry between Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington is the reason why 2 Guns is quite the thrill ride.
Directed by Baltasar Kormákur, you’ll enjoy the action, humour, the buddy cop dynamic and Bill Paxton’s intense and terrifying turn as Earl.
A very memorable moment is when Wahlberg’s character reveals who one of the bad guys reminds him of. I heard the words as I watched the movie in the theatre. The observation is so correct and well delivered that it stayed in my mind for the rest of the movie.
Edward James Olmos, James Marsden, Robert John Burke and Paula Patton also star.
You wouldn’t be blamed if after hearing the premise of Ted, your reaction was ‘Really? Please!
But then you learn a little more and realise that the movie is the brainchild of Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy. He not only stars as the voice of Ted but directed and wrote it too. Suddenly, a film about a grown man’s wish to bring his childhood teddy bear to life coming true seems quite watchable.
Fans of the very successful Family Guy series would be the most excited (just a little more, perhaps) than fans of general good humour – particularly humour that’s silly and filthy in parts.
Also starring Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis, there’s plenty of funny dialogue. One of the key highlights for me is Donny, the character played by Giovanni Ribisi and his highly peculiar dance moves.
Lastly, who could forget the scene with all the ‘white trash’ names listed by Mark Wahlberg’s character?
In the new Daddy’s Home trailer starring Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell, it looks like the famous charisma and charm synonymous with Wahlberg, coupled with Ferrell’s comedy expertise is going to result in a very funny movie. Especially when you add the ‘cool biological dad versus ‘new and not at all cool stepdad’ dynamic.
Directed by Sean Anders and John Morris (part of the team behind the fun 2013 comedy hit We’re The Millers), there’s no reason to not hope for good things.
