In Wonder, the latest movie from Julia Roberts, Jacob Tremblay and Owen wilson, August (Auggie) Pullman is a boy with facial differences who enters fifth grade at a mainstream elementary school for the first time.
Jacob Tremblay is such a great young talent. He, along with Roberts and Wilson, are great reasons to watch this movie. It also helps that the film is based on R.J. Palacio’s bestselling book of the same name. I don’t recall the last time I watched Wilson in a non-comedy role, so this should be interesting.
Wonder Release Dates: November 17th, 2017 (US); December 4th, 2017 (UK); January 8th, 2018 (GER)…
Daveed Briggs, Millie Davis, Sonia Braga and Emma Tremblay also star while Stephen Chbosky directs.
Starring Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell, I’ll start by confirming that without question, the original Zoolander (2001) movie is better. The story in the first movie seemed so much simpler in comparison and I found that I loved every single cameo, including Paris Hilton, Billy Zane and especially David Bowie.
The cameos in Zoolander 2, particularly the ones from the world of fashion, are disappointing, on account of dodgy acting skills all round. Valentino, Tommy Hilfiger, Anna Wintour and Marc Jacobs – along with Justin Bieber all did the best they could, of course. Nevertheless, I was still left wanting.
Overall, nothing was half as annoying as Kyle Mooney’s Don Atari. The character’s extreme and irritating hipster ways made it hard to see why he had to be there at all.

I enjoyed the use of a soundtrack that definitely seemed more at home in a superhero movie. Will Ferrell’s Jacobim Mugato, my very favourite character from the original film is the one I couldn’t wait to see again, and what a joyful reunion it turned out to be. I remember laughing particularly loudly at his line about the number of square meals fed to Derek Jr., a character played very well by young Cyrus Arnold.
I’m a big fan of the first Zoolander movie. This sequel, though not an improvement on the original, I found it worth it for the handful of jokes that do land successfully, and for the opportunity to reminisce about how happy I was to have come across the original film in the first place.
Watch Zoolander 2, especially if you loved the original and you’re as curious as I am. Should you watch just one of these movies instead of both, please let it be Zoolander (2001).
Woody Harrelson, Judy Greer and Laura Dern are the stars of Wilson, a Craig Johnson-directed comedy about a middle-aged misanthrope who gets the surprise of his life after reuniting with his estranged wife.
Based on the graphic novel by Daniel Clowes, I want to see this because I rather enjoy Harrelson in comedy roles. His part in 2011’s Friends With Benefits is one of my favourites.
Written by Justin Theroux and directed by Ben Stiller, the teaser trailer for Zoolander 2 has arrived and a tease it absolutely is!
The sequel also stars Owen Wilson, Olivia Munn, Penelope Cruz, Kristen Wiig, billy Zane, Fred Armisen, and Christine Taylor.
I can’t wait to see Will Ferrell as Jacobim Mugatu. His performance in the original Zoolander (2001) film is one of my favourite Ferrell portrayals. Time to re-watch it, I think.
I could also do with a reminder of Zoolander’s impressive patented poses: Blue Steel, Ferrari, La Tigre and of course, Magnum.
