Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot is the new Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting (1997) co-written and directed movie/biography about John Callahan, a young man who became paralysed after a car accident at age 21, and turned to drawing as a form of therapy.

Joaquin Phoenix, Jonah Hill, Jack Black and Rooney Mara star…

This one looks like an impressive Phoenix performance. I’m excited to see what Jack Black and Jonah Hill bring to the film; two comedy men who are equally good in dramatic roles.

Having not heard of John Callahan until now, maybe this film will treat us to some great drawings. Lastly, I just noticed that the three main male actors all have ‘J’ names. Random useless fact. That’s all.

Beth Ditto and Udo Kier also star.

Set in the first century C.E, Mary Magdalene is a new drama about controversial biblical character, friend and follower of Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene.

Garth Davis directs while Rooney Mara, Joaquin Phoenix and Chiwetel Ejiofor star…

I don’t know that Phoenix as Jesus Christ feels like a perfect casting instinctually. However, I’m very open to be proven wrong, especially since Phoenix is quite the talent.

Also, not that this movie will be as brutal as Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ (2004) –  but I kind of don’t want to sign up to witness all that violence again. It’s a tough one since I want to watch the story of Mary Magdalene. Sadly, there’s just no telling her story without Jesus, particularly because she’s with him till the very unfortunate end.

Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Ariane Labed, Ryan Corr, Tahar Rahim and Lubna Azabal also star.

Mary Maggalene Release Dates: March 16th, 2018 (UK); March 30th, 2018 (US)…

In A Ghost Story, Casey Affleck is a deceased husband who returns as a ghost in a white sheet to re-connect with his grieving wife (Rooney Mara).

Written/directed by David Lowery, what I like most about this trailer, besides its main star Rooney Mara, is the featured music.

As for my feelings about the film, I have to confess that it all looks mighty depressing – unlike 1990’s Ghost. Therefore, I’ll just make sure I’m in the right mood for it. By which I don’t mean a depressed mood. Merely a mood where I’m open to the ‘exploration of legacy, love, loss, and the enormity of existence’ – for approximately two hours.

A Ghost Story Release Dates: July 28th, 2017 (US)…

SONG TO SONG (2017): New Trailer From Natalie Portman, Rooney Mara, Michael Fassbender, Ryan Gosling…

1 Comment

Celebrated filmmaker Terrence Malick has a new movie starring Michael Fassbender, Ryan Gosling, Rooney Mara and Natalie Portman.

Song To Song is about two intersecting love triangles set against the music scene in Austin, Texas.

I want this to be great because I’m a fan of everyone involved. I especially want this to be better than Malick’s previous movie Knight Of Cups (2015), which I’m yet to see but I know the reception wasn’t great.

On another note, I’m going to guess that the trailers for both, this movie and Knight of Cups were edited by the very same person.

Song To Song Release Dates: March 17th, (2017); 2017 (UK)…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of The Discovery (2017).

Starring Robert Redford, Jason Segel and Rooney Mara, The Discovery is set one year after the existence of the afterlife is scientifically verified, resulting in millions around the world killing themselves in order to ‘get there.’

Directed/co-written by Charlie McDowell, the premise is simply too interesting not to tune in, right?  And I’m sure it’s safe to say that all is not as it seems.

The Discovery Release Dates: March 31st, 2017 (US)…
