I hope the first full week of February treated y’all well! I am just here today to catch you up on some trailers and teaser and promos, so, without further ado, let’s get to it!
Movies
All the Bright Places
I want to say that I have not read the book BUT I NEED YOU TO KNOW that this is not a happy YA film. This story is about suicidal teens and I can’t say what the end looks like here, but in the book it was not a happy one and I really need you to take care of your mental health when you watch this, because the promo material is very misleading. Having said that, I am sure the actors did a great job and if you can and want to handle that kind of story, definitely go for it!
Minions: The Rise of Gru
I am sure this will be a big hit at cinemas again. I mean, it’s the minions.
James Bond: No Time to Die
I just want to know what Billie Eilish and Finneas came up with for the theme song!
Spiral (Saw 9)
This is the BEST Saw casting to this day. I am calling it now.
Isi and Ossi
It’s going to release on Netflix next week and I am pumped! Gotta support my boy Dennis and I am sure people who watch Dark will recognise the female lead too.
The Roads Not Taken
I saw Mia from German Skam/Druck for a couple seconds and I was so happy for her.
Resistance
I am not sure I would watch it in a movie theater, but maybe at home. The cast has me interested.
2/1
It reminds me of something I have seen before, but I am not sure what.
Radioactive
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I really liked the personal angle on this one as well as the consequences shown of some discoveries, but I know critics aren’t exactly raving …
Abigail
It might be a little too late for a movie like that?
Finding the Way Back
I am just not interested in whatever Ben Affleck does.
Target Number One
I am always surprised when Josh Hartnett pops up in a film. He’s just so elusive these days.
The Jesus Rolls
As I said a couple weeks back, this is the Big Lebowski sequel. Do with that info whatever you like.
Blow the Man Down
It’s … weird-looking.
The Vast of Night
Amazon is stepping up their game once again.
TV Shows
I Am Not Okay With This
It’s so awkward – I WANT IT!
Disney+ “Marvel Universe”
Since Disney+ is still not available where I live, my enthusiasm definitely has its bounds. However, Wanda is my favourite so I shall find a way to watch this!!!
Flipped
I think this could be fun for a season, but how are they going to sustain it beyond that?
ZeroZeroZero
Not sure this is for me.
Altered Carbon (Season 2)
I am very interested to see where season 2 will take us, but I am going to miss some of the previous skins used.
Did you see something you’d like to watch? Let’s chat!
Thoughts:
1. Minions: The Rise of Gru: Oh God, not another one!
2. No Time to Die: I’ll see it, though I’ll admit I’m not as huge a Bond fan as I used to be.
3. Saw: Spiral: See my response to the Minions sequel.
4. Resistance: I’d see it. Seems like the kind of film we need in the States right now, considering everything.
5. 2/1: Give it a different angle, and this could be one hell of a science-horror film.
6. Abigail: Yeah, this feels like this would have done well pre-Hunger Games rather than several years post-Mockingjay Part 2.
7. Disney+ shows: YES! Can’t wait!

I was very bored with the previous Minions movie, so I really didn’t need that one either.
But I actually think that this new Saw movie will do great. The casting is phenomenal and quite frankly different, which obviously makes all the difference. Everyone at my work was very excited about it and we have someone there who runs their own Horrormania channel.

I was never a fan of the franchise, so I’ll pass. However, I hope fans get what they’re looking for with this movie.

I love that Anthony Mackie is taking over as the new sleeve, but I will miss Joel Kinnaman. I thought he was brilliant in the first season. Sad to see him go, but i suppose it was necessary for the plot.
Marvel’s TV shows are so exciting. I love how Wandavision is so bizarre and a little uneasy and The Falcon and Winter Soldier have always been my two weaknesses. I’m curious to see how the Loki series works since his role in Endgame led to one of the plot anomalies.

I really like Anthony Mackie and definitely won’t hate on him in the role, but I will miss Joel too. But in the book he also got a new sleeve, so it had to be done, I suppose.
I don’t allow myself to get excited about anything Disney+, just because I have no way of legally watching it haha I feel so ripped off for not getting any of the content yet. (I know the shows aren’t even out yet, but everyone was in love with the Mandalorian and it’s just not a thing here yet, because we don’t get the service)

I definitely want to see all the bright places, cos I really liked the book (though I’ll have to be in the right mood for it).

It’s definitely going to be something people will need to be in the right mindset for. I have no doubt that it could be a good movie, I just wanted to make sure that people knew at least a little bit what they were getting into.

I feel like there should be way more of a warning about all the bright places, this whole thing feels a little too “happy romantic ya film”, while it’s really damn heavy and I’m honestly scared at how much people could be surprised and taken aback by this all
I’m kind of excited about the minions ahah it’s the kind of movie I enjoy watching, to be honest. it’s nothing new for sure, but it’s always fun and minions are adorable, ahah.
I’m SO curious about I Am Not Okay With This! THIS TRAILER IS SO AWKWARD and I love it somehow hahahhaa. 🙂

I am glad you feel that way about the warning! I wasn’t sure if I was out of line with my little pretext for the trailer, but I just don’t think the promotional material really represents the dark themes accurately.
It’s good that you’re excited about the Minions. There’s nothing wrong with that! I just wasn’t in love with the last one, so I am not sure it’s for me personally.
I am Not Okay With This releases this month!!! I hope there will be another trailer, but I will watch it either way haha I can keep you updated, if yuo want!
