Good news for Melissa McCarthy fans, for she has a new comedy trailer.

I couldn’t get through ten minutes of Tammy (2014), but I’m giving The Boss a chance because, well, how fascinating is that red wig? In all seriousness however, this trailer good and I did love Spy 2015. 

Written and directed by Ben Falcone, The Boss also stars Peter Dinklage and the lovely Kristen Bell, an actor I last watched and loved in Stuck In Love (2012).

Release Date (s): April 8th, 2016 (US), June 10th, 2016, (UK)…

ELF (2003): Will Ferrell Makes It Good…

Elf (2003), Will Ferrell

Silly, with several funny and moving moments, plus all the right messages for the christmas season is just one way to describe Elf.

Starring Will Ferrell in the title role, and directed by Jon Favreau; I’ve heard many people refer to Elf as their favourite Christmas movie. Having now seen it, I can’t say it’s mine, however Ferrell does a positively memorable job with his character.

If you weren’t already a fan of Ferrell, it’s quite likely that after the movie, you’ll recognise and applaud his comic capabilities. Just make sure you’re in the mood for some silly beforehand.

Zooey Dechanel’s beautiful singing voice and the characters played by Faison Love and Peter Dinklage are two more of my favourite things about Elf.

Watch it for a reminder of why so many people can’t help but look forward to Will Ferrell in comedy roles. Daddy’s Home (2015) is his latest comedy, which will arrive  just in time for Christmas 2015 and I’m certainly looking forward to it.

PIXELS (2015): For The Fans Of The Games…

Pixels is a  comedy/action/sci-fi film directed by Chris Columbus. It stars Adam Sandler, Josh Gad, Kevin James, Michelle Monaghan and Peter Dinklage.

The first trailer for the movie didn’t look great. Though the second was an improvement, my conclusion after sitting through the movie is that I’m just not the target market.

I used to play Pac-Man growing up but never enough to call myself a half serious video gaming fan. It’s those who love and/or loved retro video games like Donkey Kong, Pac-Man and Tetris, that will get the most out of Pixels. For everyone else, there are a few funny moments but, overall, ‘silly’ might be a word that comes to mind.

The best part in the movie, besides the soundtrack and what Pac-Man creator Toru Iwatani screams in the trailer? That would be the last twenty minutes of the film, particularly the Donkey Kong phase. 

Tune in if you absolutely must. I did because I’m a fan of Gad, Sandler, Dinklage and of course, Pac-Man.

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 Petsanother animated movie also due out in the summer is the one I want to see most.

PIXELS (2015) Trailer 2, Definitely More Promising

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Pixels(2015).


In Pixels, which stars Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Michelle Monaghan, Josh Gad and Peter Dinklage –  aliens have sent real life video games to end us by pixelation – and of course we must fight! Or at least the best players of each video game character  turned evil must.

The first trailer had me worried, but now…

…I badly want to see it work.

Happy Film Loving,
