Starring Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Matt Smith and Ralph Fiennes, Official Secrets is the true story of British whistleblower Katharine Gunn.

Director Gavin Hood’s drama/thriller focuses on Gunn’s role in leaking information to the press. Information about an illegal NSA spy operation created to push the UN Security Council into sanctioning the Iraq war in 2003.

The music in this trailer leaves plenty to be desired. However, because Knightley, Goode and Smith are the stars, I’m in for the promise of good performances.

I want to see how Katharine manages to get away with it for the time that she does. I myself am very likely far too paranoid, appreciative of a clear conscience and a peaceful mind, to ever contemplate such a thing.

Cowardice! Yes, cowardice is probably the word for my approach. Of course, just wanting to remain a law abiding citizen has something to do with it too – but also definitely cowardice.

Indira Varma, Conleth Hill, Tamsin Greig, Rhys Ifans, MyAnna Buring, Katherine Kelly and Jack Farthing also star.

Official Secrets Release Dates: August 30th, 2019 (US); October 18th, 2019 (UK)…

The Big Bad Fox & Other Tales is an animated comedy/adventure about a fox that thinks it’s a chicken, a Rabbit that acts like a stork, and a Duck who wants to replace Father Christmas.

All the above is evidence that the countryside isn’t the calm and peaceful place you may have always imagined.

Written/directed by Patrick Imbert and Benjamin Renner; key voice work is courtesy of Bill Bailey, Matthew Goode and Celia Imrie.

I started losing interest in this trailer soon after hitting play – but then the cute little chicks looked at the fox and said ‘mummy?’ It helps that the animation style happens to take me back to the illustrations in some of the books that five-year-old me used to love reading.

Adrian Edmondson, Justin Edwards, Phil Jupitus and Giles New also star.

The Big Bad Fox & Other Tales Release Dates: August 3rd, 2018, (UK); 2018 (US)…

BIRTHMARKED (2018): New Trailer From Toni Collette, Matthew Goode…

For those who believe in the ultimate power of nurture over nature, and for those who don’t, Birthmarked, Toni Collette and Matthew Goode’s latest Emanuel Hoss-Desmarais-directed comedy, sure sounds like fun.

Collette and Goode play two scientists who choose to raise 3 children contrarily to their genetic tendencies, all for the purpose of proving  the  power of nurture over nature.

I kind of think that raising kids at all is an experiment, whether parents like it or not. It’s just that not everyone’s parents are ‘mad scientists’, unlike the parents in this trailer.

I’m so ready for the seemingly kooky madness and of course the results. I definitely want the results!

Michael Smiley, Tyrone Benskin, Suzanne Clément and Fionnula Flanagan also star.

Birthmarked Release Dates: Mar 30th, 2018 (US)…

Wonderful French actress Marion Cotillard and Brad Pitt have a new movie.

Set in 1942 during the Second World War and directed by Robert Zemeckis, at the centre of Allied is the relationship between Marianne Beausejour, a French Resistance Fighter (Cotillard), and Intelligence Officer Max Vatan (Pitt)

Looks like Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2007) on a higher level, and maybe even more badass.

Lizzy Caplan, Matthew Goode, Raffey Cassidy and Charlotte Hope also star.

Allied Release Dates: November 20th, 2016 (US); November 25th, 2016 (UK)…

Today’s movie comes in the shape of a TV mini-series. I don’t ordinarily feature mini-series on here but this trailer!

Malachi Kirby, Matthew Goode, Forrest Whitaker and Anna Paquin are the stars of Roots. Based on the book by Alex Haley, Roots presents a portrait of American slavery, following the journey of one family, their will to survive and transcend their circumstances.

As many will be aware, this is not the first dramatisation of Alex Haley’s best selling book. The previous version starred LeVar Burton and was released in 1977 to great critical acclaim. I plan to watch because this looks great and Roots is based on Haley’s own family history.

Other cast members include Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Emayatzy Corinealdi, Anika Noni Rose and Tip “T.I.” Harris.
