COP CAR (2015): Trailer Of The Week

Cop Car (2015), Kevin Bacon

The end of May brings us something very promising. A really good trailer for the new Kevin Bacon film, Cop Car.

It’s directed by Jon Watts and also stars Shea Whigham, Camryn Manheim plus young Actors James Freedson-Jackson and Hays Wellford.

I dare you to watch it and tell me you’re not ready to see it right now.

Happy Cop Car 🙂

CHILD 44 (2015): Tom Hardy Is All The Reason You Need

Child 44 (2015), Tom Hardy

Here is the reason I was yelping with uncontrollable joy today.

There’s been some talk about the authenticity of the Russian accents…

It’s all business of course, the need to get the film to as wide an audience as possible. I’m just happy to watch the very talented cast including Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Vincent Cassel, Noomi Rapace, etc. and fully understanding what they’re saying without difficulty.

Such an interesting story. I can’t wait to see it unfold.

Happy Child 44 🙂

SUICIDE SQUAD (2016): New Trailer With Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, Will Smith…

Suicide Squad (2016), Margot Robbie

Margot Robbie, Jai Courtney, Scott Eastwood, Cara Delevingne, Ben Affleck, Will Smith Jared Leto, Joel Kinnaman Viola Davis, Common, Jay Hernandez and a few more are the stars of Suicide Squad.

From the trailer it looks like Margot Robbie’s part is quite a sizableness. I hope so because she looks seriously badass and I like it.

With David Ayer, the man who brought us Training Day (2001) and Fury (2014) as Director, there’s no way this isn’t a sure thing. I guess we’ll find out in just over 12 months.

I can’t help but only see Heath Ledger when I looked at Jared Leto’s Joker. Only time will tell of course, 12 months of time.

Happy Suicide Squad 🙂

LILA & EVE (2015): Viola Davis Stars, So I Must Make Time

Lila & Eve (2015), Jennifer Lopez, Viola Davis

Lila and Eve is directed by Charles Stone III and stars Jennifer Lopez and the Viola Davis.

Lopez and Davis play two women who decide to take matters into their own hands, after the system fails them following the murder of their sons in drive-by shootings

Looking forward to great performances from both lead Actresses.

Happy Lila & Eve 🙂

LISTEN TO ME MARLON (2015): Excellent Trailer For Marlon Brando Documentary

Listen To Me Marlon (2015), Marlon Brando

Stevan Riley has directed a documentary about Marlon Brando and the trailer looks fantastic.

Amongst other great roles, Brando is the man responsible for doing an exceptional job of bringing Author Mario Puzo’s character of The Godfather to life in the Francis Ford Coppola directed 1972 classic of the same name.

I know that Listen To Me Marlon is going to be great, especially for lovers of documentary film / biographies, fans of very talented Actors, those curious about the human condition and of course, the brilliance of Marlon Brando himself.

I really can’t wait to see it and congratulations to the person responsible for this trailer, for it is truly excellent!

Happy Listen To Me Marlon 🙂

I’M WATCHING OVER YOU

Suzanne Perry is having a vivid nightmare. Someone is in her bedroom, touching her, and she can’t move a muscle. She wakes, relieved to put the nightmare behind her, but when she opens the curtains, she sees a polaroid stuck to the window. A photo of her sleeping self, taken during the night. And underneath the words: ‘I’m watching over you’. Her nightmare isn’t over. In fact, it’s just beginning. Detective Inspector Phil Brennan of the Major Incident Squad has a killer to hunt. A killer who stalks young women, insinuates himself into their lives, and ultimately tortures and murders them in the most shocking way possible. But the more Phil investigates, the more he delves into the twisted psychology of his quarry, Phil realises that it isn’t just a serial killer he’s hunting but something or someone infinitely more calculating and horrific. And much closer to home than he realised.
