Read my spoiler-free movie review of  Happiest Season (2020).


Starring Kristen Stewart, and Mackenzie Davis; directed plus co-written by Clea DuVall; Happiest Season is a new holiday romantic comedy all about wanting your family’s acceptance, being exactly yourself, and trying hard not to ruin Christmas.

Additional key cast includes Aubrey Plaza, Michelle Buteau, Dan Levy and Alison Brie.

Very happy is how I feel to see another Christmas movie trailer this week. Especially since this looks like quite a good, fun movie, thanks in part to the comedy. And of course, I’ll gladly be taking in all the gorgeous lights and decorations.

Jake McDorman, Mary Steenburgen, Clea DuVall, Victor Garber, Sarayu Blue, Ana Gasteyer, Mary Holland, Caroline Harris and Burl Moseley also star.

Happiest Season Release Dates: November 25th, 2020 (US); November 27th, 2020 (UK)…

THE TURNING (2020): New Trailer From Mackenzie Davis, Finn Wolfhard, Brooklynn Prince…

The Turning is the new Floria Sigismondi-directed modern retelling of Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw.

Starring Mackenzie Davis, Finn Wolfhard and Brooklyn Prince, The Turning follows a young governess who’s hired to take care of two young children after the deaths of the children’s parents.

I want to see this to find out just how amused I’ll be when I see that, regardless of all the seemingly blatant early signs pointing to things being nowhere near right in that house, Davis’s character decides to remain.

Also, I was really quite ready for this movie to be released just in time for Halloween; but no, apparently.

Mark Huberman, Barbara Marten, Niall Greig Fulton, Kim Adis, Denna Thomsen and Karen Egan also star.

The Turning Release Dates: January 24th, 2020 (US)….

Directed by Tim Miller of Deadpool (2016) and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton plus Mackenzie Davis, Terminator – Dark Fate is the next instalment in the celebrated science fiction story that started with James Cameron’s The Terminator back in 1984.

The official plot hasn’t yet been released, but additional key cast does include Gabriel Luna, Diego Boneta, Natalia Reyes, Brett Azar…

‘Wow’ is the word because this trailer looks really good. Fans of Cameron’s first and second Terminator movies are no doubt excited to see Hamilton back as the rather badass Sarah Connor.

Right aways I know I like Davis as Grace, whoever Grace is. I’m also excited to hopefully find Luna’s Terminator character to be as perfectly loathsome as Robert Patrick’s great portrayal of T-1000 from Terminator 2 – Judgement Day (1991).

Terminator – Dark Fate Release Dates: October 23rd, 2019 (UK); November 1st, 2019 (US & CAN)…

ALWAYS SHINE (2016): For Mackenzie Davis’s Performance…

Starring Mackenzie Davis and Caitlin Fitzgerald as so-called friends, Always Shine is an example of what can happen when jealousy between friends gets out of control.

Davis’s portrayal of a jealous friend is definitely my favourite thing about Always Shine. Neither of the two lead characters comes across as perfect. And I’m surprised to realise that up until this movie, I don’t think I’d ever seen a friendship up close that was so believably poisonous and shady. The talented cast and director Sophia Takal did a wonderful job of creating tension in key moments.

Admittedly, towards the end, I did get lost when trying to figure out precisely what was going on in those key scenes, and all that it meant.

Still, I say watch Always Shine for Davis’s very memorable performance, and perhaps you’ll be able to kindly explain to me what the ending is all about.

Happy Film Loving,
