Read my spoiler-free movie review of Chips (2017)

Starring Michael Peña, Kristen Bell, Dax Shepherd, Dax Shepherd and Maya Rudolph, CHIPS is a new comedy about the shenanigans of two Los Angeles Highway Patrol motorcycle officers.

Written/directed by Shepherd, I’m drawn to chips because they’re delicious… but, to be serious, I’m drawn to CHIPS because I enjoyed some of the jokes in the trailer.

Another reason would be that I’m still kind of chasing the excellent onscreen chemistry that Michael Peña had with Jake Gyllenhaal in what is still my favourite buddy/cop movie, probably always, End of Watch (2012). A great film that features the kind of brotherly love dreams are certainly made of.

Chips Release Dates: March 24th, 2017 (US & UK)…

THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE (2016): An Easter Message From the Hatchlings

I know that the story of The Angry Birds Movie is generally about Red, ‘the one with the eyebrows’, but I’m obsessed with the cuteness of the baby birds, a.k.a the Hatchlings.

My wish is that these adorable and colourful little cuties feature as prominently as possible in the finished movie.

They may not quite be on the same level of cuteness as the Minions. However, seeing them is certainly very seriously smile-inducing. Especially the purple chocaholic.

The Angry Birds Movie is out on:  May 13th, 2016 (UK), May 20th, (US)…

Directed by Rebecca Miller, Maggie’s Plan stars Julianne Moore, Ethan Hawke and Greta Gerwig in story that centres around a young woman who is eager to start a family on her own. The only thing is, she ends up becoming a mistress and breaking up the marriage of her professor lover and his wife (Moore).

As you can tell from the trailer, there’s quite a lot going on. I like that Maggie’s Plan has been categorised as a comedy. Although, I don’t recall laughing, let alone smiling more than once during the trailer. The most exciting thing about this movie, for me, is brilliant actress Julianne Moore. Even more so because she’s sporting what sounds like a convincing European accent.

Travis Fimmel, Bill Hader and Maya Rudolph also star.

Maggie’s Plan Release Dates: May 20th, 2016 (US); July 8th, 2016 (UK)…

A new The Angry Birds Movie trailer has landed and I definitely like it more than the teaser.

The use of Michael Jackson’s Bad seems to fit a little better now, perhaps. I can’t wait to find out if I’ll like this movie more than The Secret Life of Pets, which is due to be released two months later.

THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE (2016): New Teaser Trailer For Rovio’s Hit Mobile Game

You’ve played the hit game created by mobile gaming application creator Rovio. you certainly know the rage that flows through the veins of the red one. Now,  take a few minutes to watch the movie trailer.

The actors lending their voices to the fun and familiar characters include Josh Gad as Chuck, Jason Sudeikis as Red, plus Maya Rudolph, Bill Hader, Danny McBride and Peter Dinklage.

I’ve only played theAngry Birds game once or twice. As such, perhaps serious fans have a different opinion because this teaser trailer didn’t do a lot for me. Michael Jackson’s Bad also doesn’t quite feel like a good musical fit.

The good news is, this is only the teaser, meaning we can still be pleasantly surprised. Nevertheless, currently, The Secret Life Of Pets, another animated movie also due out in the summer is the one I want to see most.

Happy Film Loving,
