ANT-MAN AND THE WASP – QUANTUMANIA (2023): New Trailer Starring Paul Rudd, Jonathan Majors, Evangeline Lily…

January 16, 2023 Giadreams (themoviemylife.com) 10 Comments

Directed by Peyton Reed; Ant-Man and The Wasp – Quantumania has its key characters, including Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) exploring the Quantum Realm. A place where they encounter strange creatures, Kang The Conqueror (Jonathan Majors) and an adventure that goes beyond what they thought possible.

Here’s the thing; it’s doubtful that I’ll actually watch this movie. Especially since I’ve not been moved to watch a single Ant-Man film yet.

So, considering the above, why have I featured the film at all? I love the music and the ways it’s used in this trailer. Additionally, I’ve always enjoyed a deep-voiced villain – and third, the trailer gets more interesting and fun for me from 1:34 minutes onwards. Well, except for that part where Ant-Man’s daughter screams ‘Dad!‘ It just feels as though a more emotional version of that was needed for the moment. Luckily though, we end on a high with Kang The Conqueror’s magnificent scream.

Have you seen any Ant-Man movies? How much does this one appeal to you?

Randall Park, Michael Douglas, Kathryn Newton, Katy M. O’Brian, William Jackson Harper, Michelle Pfeiffer, Bill Murray, Corey Stoll and Leonardo Taiwo also star

STRAIGHT UP (2019): New Trailer Starring James Scully, Katie Findlay, James Sweeney, Randall Park…

Straight Up (2020), James Sweeney, Katie Lindsay

Straight Up, a romance/comedy minus the copulation. Why? Because this is the story of an odd couple whose romantic friendship develops out of intellectual chemistry rather than sexual attraction.

Written, directed by and starring James Sweeney; additional key cast includes Randall Park, Katie Findlay and James Scully.

The premise certainly intrigues me. And I already like the dialogue, costumes, framing and cinematography. Now my fingers are crossed that the end result will be as delightful as I anticipate.

Tracie Thoms, Cayleb Long, Grace Song, Betsy Brandt, Laura Ortiz, Logan Huffman, Hillary Anne Matthews, Brendan Scannell, Ken Kirby, Ozioma Akagha and Dana Drori also star.

ALWAYS BE MY MAYBE (2018): The Things I Liked…

Always Be My Maybe (2019), Keanu Reeves, Netflix

Always Be My Maybe, a comedy about childhood sweethearts who reconnect after they stopped talking fifteen years ago, is quite funny and features a handful of moving but not too overly sentimental scenes.

As was the case with the trailer, Keanu Reeves entering the frame is one of the best moments for me because, well, it’s Keanu Reeves – but also because his character is funny and the music that plays as he enters the room could not have been more perfect.

The entire cast led by Ali Wong and Randall Park all perform well and the second most memorable moment for me is the lovely speech delivered at the red carpet event near the end.

The one thing in director Nahnatchka Khan’s film that had me wanting involves music. The great track that plays when we first meet Reeve’s character, aside, I found a noticeable absence of music in most scenes when compared to other comedy/romance movies. It’s a thing I wish I hadn’t noticed because it would mean I was too busy being fully engrossed in everything happening on screen.

Even with all the above said, I say give Always Be My Maybe a chance because Reeves is fun and you may just like it more than you expect.

Happy Film Loving,

ALWAYS BE MY MAYBE (2019): New Trailer From Ali Wong, KEANU REEVES, Randall Park, Daniel Dae Kim…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Always Be My Maybe (2019)

Always Be My Maybe is a new comedy starring Ali Wong, Randall Park, Keanu Reeves and Daniel Dae Kim.

Directed by Nahnatchka Khan, it’s the story of childhood sweethearts who reconnect after they fell out fifteen years ago. Except now, one of them is a celebrity chef and the other a happily struggling musician who lives at home working for his dad.

I’m definitely ready for the humour, sights of San Francisco, Keanu Reeves in a comedy role, what is possibly a great soundtrack and a story about a woman living her best life; professionally at least.

I’m quite sure that I’m not the only one who was ‘mouth wide open surprised’ and very happy when Reeves showed up at the end.

Charlyne Yi, Miya Cech, Susan Park, Karan Soni, Marcella Bragio, Ashley Liao, Karen Holness and James Saito also star.

Always Be My Maybe Release Dates: May 31st, 2019 (US)…
