THE FALL GUY (2024): New Trailer From Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt, Winston Duke, Hannah Waddingham…

12 Comments

Read my spoiler-free movie review of The Fall Guy (2024).

In new action/comedy/drama The Fall Guy, Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling) is a retired stuntman who gets drafted back into stuntwork after the star of a big-budget studio movie goes missing.

A key complication is that the director of the mega-budget film is his ex-girlfriend Jodi Moreno (Emily Blunt), with whom he has unfinished business.

The films that both Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt are in are usually good. And, I’m quite sure that The Fall Guy will be quite entertaining.

However, I think it’s taken me a while to post about this trailer because I wasn’t sure about the casting of Blunt and Gosling as a couple. I just don’t see it so easily for some reason. Maybe my slight aversion has more to do with the main song in this trailer. Sorry, Jon Bon Jovi fans!

Winston Duke, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Hannah Waddingham are no doubt great additions to the cast. May the end result be as fun as one hopes, even though the plot seems quite far from meaty.

Are you excited to see The Fall Guy?

Directed by David Leitch; Teresa Palmer, Stephanie Hsu and Matuse also star.

The Fall Guy Release Dates: May 3rd, 2024 (US & UK)…

Starring Teresa Palmer, Brooke Satchwell and Sam Neill, Ride Like A Girl is the true story of Michelle Payne, the first female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup.

 Directed by Rachel Griffiths; additional key cast includes Sullivan Stapleton, Magda Szubanski and Sophia Forrest.

After reading the above synopsis, I honestly thought that this movie was set in the sixties – and not just because of the look and feel of this trailer.

I’m simultaneously surprised and not, after learning that 2015 is the year of Payne’s great win. I’ll be watching this one for all the reasons that made it possible for Payne to win.

Henry Nixon, Aaron Glenane, Veronica Thomas, Mick Molloy, Amy Christian, Genevieve Morris, Jacob Warner, Zara Zoe and Shane Bourne also star.

2:22 (2017): New Trailer From Michiel Huisman, Teresa Palmer, Sam Reid…

Michiel Huisman, Teresa Palmer and Sam Reid’s latest movie is about a man whose life is derailed when an ominous pattern of events repeats itself in exactly the same manner every day, ending at precisely 2:22 p.m.

Directed by Paul Currie,  I’m intrigued by this trailer mainly because of Huisman. Though, I’m certainly not convinced that the end result will be great.

Maybe a shorter version of the trailer that wasn’t forced to end precisely at 2:22 minutes would have made me feel better. Who knows.

Whilst we’re at it, I’d also like it for this movie to have something thought-provoking to say about the patterns that keep repeating in our lives. That way, I can be forced to eat my words. I wouldn’t mind that in the slightest.

2:22 Release dates: 2017 (US)…

A young woman is travelling alone, she meets an intriguing guy, ends up at his place and wakes up to find that she can’t leave. This is the story of Berlin Syndrome, a passionate holiday romance that turns into an unhealthy and obsessive relationship.  

Directed by Cate Shortland, Teresa Palmer, Max Riemelt and Lucie Aron star.

Berlin Syndrome may end up being my favourite of Palmer’s perforamnces to date. Especially since I don’t currently have one.

Intriguing subject matter is my key reason for wanting to watch this one. I just have to be ready to be uncomfortable for, likely, the whole time. Lastly, I’m unsure whether the right advice should be that soon-to-be female solo travellers ought to watch this, or that they shouldn’t. What do you think?

Berlin Syndrome Release Dates: May 5th, 2017 (US); May 12th, 2017 (UK)…

THE CHOICE (2016): The Thing I Liked…

If you’re a movie fan, you know who Ryan Gosling is. If you know who Ryan Gosling is, then you’ve probably at least heard of The Notebook (2004) – that hugely romantic movie loved by lovers of love, all over. And, if you’ve heard about The Notebook, you may know that Nicholas Sparks is the writer.

I’ve seen The Notebook once and it was a great experience. I cried like many who may or may not admit to doing so. Today actually isn’t really about the The Notebook. It’s about the The Choice (2016), the latest of Sparks’s books to be adapted into a movie.

Starring Teresa Palmer, Benjamin Walker and Alexandra Daddario, The Choice is unfortunately not the greatest of Nicholas Sparks’s movies. There may have been one or two very brief moments where my disbelief may have been completely suspended, but overall, most of the time I was only too aware that I wasn’t just watching a movie – but I was watching one and thinking, ‘wow, this really isn’t very good.’

The Notebook is in no way everyone’s ‘cup of tea’ but can it be accused of being unconvincing as far as some of the acting goes? Can it also be accused of containing romantic dialogue that feels forced and inauthentic? I don’t think so.

I tuned in to The Choice because the mood for a romantic movie hit. Sadly, by the end of the film, the only real great thing I could find about the experience is that the location where it’s shot is beautiful! I think I maybe want to vacation there one day. Also, at least it wasn’t so awful that I had to quit before the end. There is always that, I suppose.

Happy Film Loving,
