I had quite the exhausting week, which was why blogging took a bit of a backburner again. However, I have great news for you – I will bring back the #CurrentlyWatching feature … although I might name it something else and won’t just do it on Fridays. The gist of it is that I will bring back more TV discussions/recommendations! Now on to trailers!
Movies
Teen Titans Go!
This is hilarious.
Tully
Charlize is KILLING it!
Basmati Blues
I did not expect Brie Larson in a Bollywood-esque movie?
The Vanishing of Sidney Hall
I think it actually looks good.
Beirut
Jon Hamm definitely looks like someone who could be a spy.
Red Sparrow
Is it bad that I am kind of over Jennifer Lawrence?
Black Panther
Long live the King!
Show Dogs
I don’t like talking-dog-movies as much as I did when I was a kid.
Breaking In
Curvature
Looks intriguing and terrible at the same time.
Golden Exits
*sigh* oh, some days I just need hipster indie movies.
The Female Brain
I haven’t decided what to think about this one yet.
TV Shows
Here and Now
I don’t know what this is about at all, but I like the look of it very much.
UnREAL (Season 3)
The wait for this was SO long. I am pretty sure some people forgot this was still a thing, but then I think they even started filming season 4 already? Let’s see where this goes.
The Royals (Season 4)
CANNOT WAIT!!!
The Arrangement (Season 2)
I have a friend who worked on set for this, so we were allowed to run around on the red carpet of a fake movie premiere before they started rolling. Can’t wait for that scene.
Altered Carbon
I am glad this is a show and not a movie, but I still don’t think the concept of the show is as revolutionary as some people pretend it is.
The Crossing
Shot in Vancouver and it looks so good!
Burden of Truth
OMG, I haven’t seen Peter Mooney in anything since Rookie Blue.
Absentia
Stana Katic kicking ass again!
Shrink
When that one lady left, I lost it!
The Resident
I love how strong she is and how they challenge the notion that she HAS to be a doctor to contribute. Like, no! Nurses rock!
Krypton
While this doesn’t look like shit, I still stand by my statement of the fact that we definitely didn’t need another show about Superman/Supergirl’s origin or their planet’s in this case.
Life Sentence
Still not sure about the story, but this cast is everything!
Riverdale (Season 2B)
Riverdale went off the rails with 2A but we will see if it will get back on track with this. I am looking forward to meeting Betty’s brother!
Supergirl (3×10)
I hear people who say Braniac looks silly, but IT’S JESSE RATH and my excitement is barely containable.
I think I had plenty for you this week! What will you be watching?
Thoughts:
1. Teen Titans Go: I was a fan of the original cartoon, and this goofy spin-off just feels like a slap in the face to the original series. How it got a movie when the original didn’t, I have no idea.
2. The Vanishing of Sydney Hall: Looks intriguing, I’ll give it that.
3. Red Sparrow: You’re over Jennifer Lawrence? Blasphemy!
4. Black Panther: Can’t wait!
5. Show Dogs: I might watch this on DVD, with lots of popcorn and white wine. For a laugh.
6. Breaking In: Maybe.
7. Krypton: Yeah, there’s just no need for this series.
Also, I expect the Slender Man movie to be terrible, though I hope it’ll be good. That’s all I’m saying.

I never watched the original Teen Titans or this one, I just know that the team is all the rage with some illustration artists I follow.
Jennifer Lawrence is not for me … her performances don’t invoke anything in me.
I really wish they’d stop with all the Superman stuff. There is such a thing as too much.

“Too much” is something Hollywood only knows when it comes to finances, I’m afraid.

That Black Panther tv spot gives me chills!! I am so excited for the female characters in this movie. I wrote a post about the movies I’m most excited for this year, and Black Panther is one of them: https://theactdiary.wordpress.com/2018/01/12/10-movies-im-excited-to-see-this-year/

I didn’t know there was gonna be a Season 2B of Riverdale! Definitely gluing myself on the couch for that one 🙂 Also Stana Katic’s new series look very promising! The first minute of the trailer seemed a little boring, but after that the premise got much more interesting.

Oh yes, there’s much more to come from Riverdale 🙂 I think it’s already back tomorrow.
I hear you on Absentia. I only saw teasers before and they weren’t that gripping either.

I’m so glad about the currently watching feature!! And I hope next week is less exhausting for you!
LOL at Teen Titans! To be honest, I was more confused about seeing President Snow in a Bollywood-esque film. Vanishing of Sidney Hall does look good. hehe well if it is bad, I’m in the same boat, cos I’m over Jennifer Lawrence too 😉 Gosh I can’t say it enough- Black Panther looks AWESOME! And yeah- we *really* don’t need another superhero origin story.

OMG, I totally blocked out the fact that President Snow is in that movie as well. I think that mash-ups like that are just always so weird to begin with. Like they want to make Bollywood more available for Western markets even though Bollywood movies in themselves are already glorious!
*whispers* apparently it’s bad to not like JLaw, but we are in this together!

hehe yes, I really think so too 😉 Yeah I don’t really get that tbh. Also you can have a Western film set in India without a white cast (Slumdog Millionaire anyone?)
hahaha that’s a relief 😉

Exactly!!! Oh, Slumdog Millionaire … it just reminds me of the love I have for Dev Patel.
