Tom Holland, Zendaya, Mark Ruffalo and Jon Bernthal are back for Spider-Man – A Brand New Day, the fourth instalment starring Holland.

Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, a new threat that endangers Peter Parker’s loved ones means that he must break his promise to leave Spider-Man behind. and focus on college.

I’ve always known that Holland can move. Somehow, I don’t think I ever properly noticed just how well he does it, until this trailer. How wonderful it must be to master one’s body to such a degree. It’s no surprise that the man is Spider-Man.

Love the shot from inside the suit from 21 seconds into this trailer. Plus, it’s always great to see Ruffalo. The Bruce Banner/Peter Parker partnership should be fun.

Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando Jamaal Burcher, Ian Chance, Liza Colón-Zayas and Marvin Jones III also star.

Spider-Man – Brand New Day Release Dates: July 31st, 2026 (US & UK)…

THE ODYSSEY (2026): New Trailer From Christopher Nolan, Starring Tom Holland, Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Jon Bernthal…

10 Comments

Christopher Nolan’s latest epic-looking movie, The Odyssey, has a brand new trailer. And it’s based on Odysseus, the Greek King of Ithaca. Specifically, his journey to reunite with his wife Penelope after the Trojan War.

This fantasy/action/adventure/history film has a key cast that includes Jon Bernthal, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon and Benny Safdie.

I’m looking forward to this because it’s Nolan, Damon, Hathaway, Holland, and Bernthal. I also want to see what looks like a father/son love story. Plus, I’m curious about the part-fantasy categorisation. That said, I’m also apprehensive because Nolan’s last film, Oppenheimer (2023), ran for three very long hours, which felt beyond unacceptable to me.

The runtime for this one hasn’t been confirmed yet, and while I’d like to be optimistic that it won’t exceed two and a half hours, I just know that I’d be incredibly foolish to bet on it.

Is The Odyssey unskippable for you, too?

Charlize Theron, Robert Pattinson, John Leguizamo, Mia Goth, Logan Marshall-Green, Zendaya, Elliot Page, Samantha Morton, Ryan Hurst, Himesh Patel and Elyes Gabel also star.

The Odyssey. Release Dates: July 17th, 2026 (US & UK)…

SPIDER-MAN – NO WAY HOME (2021): New Trailer Starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Benedict Cumberbatch, Marisa Tomei…

13 Comments

Starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Marisa Tomei, Benedict Cumberbatch, and directed by Jon Watts, Spider-Man – No Way Home, a.k.a. Spider-Man 3, has a rather good-looking new trailer.

One that has amassed more than sixty-six million views since its release three weeks ago.

Tom Holland has played Spider-Man for nearly four years, and only now am I ready to watch his first movie as the webbed crusader. Wait, I’m sure ‘webbed crusader’ isn’t right. Anyway, I haven’t watched a single Spider-Man movie since Tobey Maguire played the much-loved superhero between 2002 and 2007. As for why that is, the trailers starring Andrew Garfield just didn’t feel as though there was enough newness to them for me. And it certainly didn’t feel as though enough time had passed to consider the new releases worthwhile.

Fast forward to now, it’s arguable that fourteen years is more than sufficient time between Maguire’s films and Holland’s Spider-Man No Way Home. However, more than the years between the movies, I finally have a Spider-Man trailer that offers me something intriguing enough that I want to watch the story all over again. I’m certain there’ll be a semi-healthy level of newness to enjoy, even if it is only technological, though I’m thinking it’s not.

The thing that has me most curious is the idea of a world where Spider-Man’s identity is no secret to anyone. Then there’s the enlisting of Doctor Strange to get things sorted – lastly, the suggestion that Strange’s involvement is just ‘too dangerous‘.

Based on what many have been saying, I’m sure I won’t regret it when I start watching Spider-Man – Homecoming. Fingers, toes and everything crossed.

Spider-Man – No Way Home Release Dates: December 17th, 2021 (US & UK)…

Tom Holland, Mads Mikkelsen Daisy Ridley and Nick Jonas’s latest adventure/sci-fi movie is Chaos Walking.

Directed by Doug Liman; the story is set in a dystopian world where there are no women and all living creatures can hear each others’ thoughts in a stream of images, words, and sounds called Noise.

Additional key cast includes David Oyelowo, Kurt Sutter and Cynthia Erivo.

It seems that the trend for movies where women are scarce is here to stay. As a lady myself, I’m not quite sure how to feel about that. Nevertheless, I do want to see where this plot takes us.

What I know for sure is this, I wouldn’t be glad about being the only woman left.

Demián Bichir, Óscar Jaenada, Bethany Anne Lind, Olunike Adeliyi, Mylène Dinh-Robic, Maxwell McCabe-Lokos and Tara Nicodemo also star.

Chaos Walking Release Dates: March 5th, 2021 (US)…

THE DEVIL ALL THE TIME (2020): The Things I Liked…

The Devil All the Time, director Antonio Campos’s drama/thriller about sinister characters in postwar Southern Ohio is a film I found adequately entertaining.

Tom Holland’s turn as Arvin, a young man devoted to protecting those he loves in a place teeming with corruption and brutality, is one of the film’s highlights. Bill Skarsgård’s performance earlier in the film is another bright spot.

The most memorable moment of all has to be when Arvin gets picked up while hitchhiking for the first time. The tension in the car is masterfully executed, to say the least. Other small favourite highlights include one of the town names ‘Knockemstiff’ and Sebastian Stan’s character’s delivery of the line: ‘Some people were born just so they could be buried.’

Thematically, The Devil All the Time is a tad too dark for what I like to watch these days. Yet, honestly, what did I expect, exactly, with a title like that? Perhaps that will teach me to choose to watch a movie mainly for the talented cast, rather than prioritising the story.

Overall, I may not have found the story edit of Campos’s film to be as masterful as my favourite movie featuring various characters that all end up cleverly connected (Magnolia (1999), but I liked the way this film revealed some of the key connections.

If you don’t mind dark tales, then you’ll likely have an even better time than I did with The Devil All the Time. Give Campos’s film a chance if you’re curious. I doubt I’ll watch it again, but I’ll always have my favourite moments to fondly remember.

Happy Film Loving,
