YOUR FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS (2025): New Trailer From Jon Hamm, Olivia Munn, Amanda Peet…

8 Comments

Your Friends & Neighbors is a new Apple TV series starring Jon Hamm, Olivia Munn and Amanda Peet.

Created by Jonathan Tropper, Hamm plays Andrew Cooper, a hedge fund manager who resorts to unexpected means to maintain his family’s lifestyle.

I’m surprised this series isn’t partly categorised as comedy, based on the premise alone. I’m looking forward to all the moments of humour I hope are coming. I’m here for the drama, too, of course.

Side note, Hamm’s Cooper brings to mind Jason Isaacs’s character in The White Lotus, Season 3. I haven’t started watching it yet, so no spoilers, please.

I say, bring on the shenanigans of the ‘formerly rich’. I’m ready.

Hoon Lee, Isabel Gravitt, Lena Hall, Mark Tallman, Donovan Colan, Anna Osceola, Thomas Anthony Jones, Matthew Rauch, Jennifer Mudge, Rebecca Naomi Jones, Jordan Gelber, Manu Narayan, Dave Quay, Corbin Bernsen and Sandrine Holt also star.

Your Friends & Neighbors Release Dates: April 11th, 2025, Apple TV+

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Love. Wedding. Repeat. (2020).

Directed and co-written by  Dean Craig; Sam Claflin, Olivia Munn, and Freida Pinto’s latest comedy, Love Wedding Repeat tells the story of Jack; a young man trying to make sure his sister’s wedding goes smoothly.

Only, this task includes managing a small list of unexpected outcomes; namely, the presence of an angry ex-girlfriend, a misplaced sedative and ‘the one that got away,’ in alternate versions of the same day.

I’m ready for all the humour and wedding season high jinks. I’m also glad to see Munn in a new movie.

Eleanor Tomlinson, Joel Fry, Aisling Bea, Jack Farthing, Tim Key, Allan Mustafa, Alexander Forsyth and Stefano Patti also star.

Love Wedding Repeat Release Dates: April 10th, 2020 (US & UK)…

THE PREDATOR (2018): New Trailer From Jacob Tremblay, Boyd Holbrook, Olivia Munn, Sterling K. Brown…

In new action/adventure/horror The Predator, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race, after a young boy accidentally triggers the return of the universe’s most lethal hunters.

Directed by Shane Black; Jacob Tremblay, Boyd Holbrook, Olivia Munn and Sterling K. Brown star.

This is a very good teaser trailer. However, not for a second would I have imagined that an 11-year-old actor would be the one to put me at ease where the expected quality level of a new movie is concerned. Then again, not every 11-year-old is a very talented Canadian called Jacob Tremblay.

I’m very much looking forward to this, in part because of the beautiful bass in Boyd Holbrook’s voice.

Yvonne Strahovski, Thomas Jane, Keegan-Michael Key and Lochlyn Munro also star.

The Predator Release Dates: September 14th, 2018 (US & UK)…

OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY (2016): New Trailer From Jennifer Aniston, Olivia Munn, Jason Bateman…

Office Christmas Party is the latest comedy from T.J. Miller, Olivia Munn, Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman.

Directed by Josh Gordon and Will Speck, the story involves a bunch of grownup office workers partying hard and behaving quite badly.

Ill advised as it may be, Jennifer Aniston and my love for her work on Horrible Bosses (2011) is the key reason I’ll be tuning in.

Not that I  want a carbon copy, of course. Nevertheless, I’d much rather this movie be like Horrible Bosses than  The Night Before (2015). The former was brilliant but the latter? Only good in trailer form.

May this also be nothing like Sisters (2015), a movie similar to The Night Before in the way that it features grownups unconvincingly doing things and behaving in ways that would make sense for teenagers only.

Office Christmas Party Release Dates: December 9th, 2016 (US & UK)…

Friday has arrived with a trailer I wasn’t aware was the thing missing from y week/life.

Starring Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Jennifer Lawrence, director Bryan Singer’s  X-Men: Apocalypse is the latest instalment of the X-Men franchise, and it looks good.

Trailer 1

Trailer 2

I like both trailers. For trailer one, specific footage and dialogue are especially great. What I’m less keen on is the continued use of the music first heard at 1:10, because, for me, once is quite enough.

My wish is that it all unfolds beautifully upon release.

Release date(s): May 19th, 2016 (UK), May 27th, 2016 (US)…
