I feel sorry for all the movies and TV shows that had to halt production, for all the projects that had to postpone their release or resort to an early digital release. We all turn to entertainment in these times, so, I hope we are all able to really show appreciation for their work and are able to support them in other ways.
Movies
Inheritance
I DIDN’T EVEN RECOGNISE SIMON PEGG!? WTF? The cast of this is amazing and even though it’s not my usual genre, I am tempted.
Selah and the Spades
The suspense is there for sure.
Adventures of Rufus the Fantastic Pet
Eh … that cat looks super weird.
Deerskin
Just imagine how wrong things must have gone for someone to diss you with a “you don’t exist anymore”.
Clover
I think thriller comedies are a weird genre.
Bad Therapy
It’s messed up.
Hippopotamus
This is the kind of movie that REALLY freaks me out.
TV Shows
Never Have I Ever
You instantly got me with “a new Mindy Kaling show”.
Upload
This feels super Black Mirror, but I am here for it!
Maxxx
This looks just so dumb
The Midnight Gospel
I’ve never done drugs, but I strongly assume that this is an accurate representation of what it looks like if you do them.
Free Ray Shawn
I’ve never watched anything on Quibi before?
Nailed It (Season 4)
I need something to laugh, so I will watch this again (even though I strongly believe that not even professional bakers can achieve these tasks within the time limits and people are set up to fail).
Is there something you’d like to watch? Let’s chat!
I hope you are all doing well, not taking the social distancing too hard and finding ways to keep yourself entertained in the meantime. I know you don’t need to read about the virus here on top of everywhere else, but due to the next monthly update not being for a while, I just wanted to inform you all that I will not be going to Canada anytime soon. Measures in my own country have increased and, in general, it would neither have been a responsible nor smart choice to go right now. All of that has left me rather sad, but I suppose it wouldn’t have been fun over there either. So, let’s get back to regular programming and start talking trailers!
Movies
Soul
IT LOOKS SO COOL!
Jungle Cruise
On the one hand, I think this is so silly, but on the other hand, I am on board.
Uncorked
Didn’t know this movie was made until just now, but I will HAPPILY watch anything with Mamoudou Athie. He is seriously underappreciated.
The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee
Awe, if Paul Hogan did this to have fun, I am all for it.
Bad Trip
I … don’t think I need this in my life. I never enjoyed anything jackass-like before.
The Artist’s Wife
This movie has a realness to it.
Arkansas
It’s a maybe from me.
The Quarry
This just isn’t really my kind of movie.
True History of the Kelly Gang
George MacKay out there, still giving very intense roles his all!
The Little Dragon
Not a huge fan of the animation style, so will likely pass.
Children of the Sea
This could be cool, I think.
TV Shows
Home Before Dark
I super like the look of it. I mean, they torched that little girl’s bike. That’s brutal!
The Third Day
This turned dark fast.
Altered Carbon: Resleeved
Yo, I didn’t even have the time to check out the second season of the live action show yet. No way am I going to watch this animated stuff too.
Did you see a movie or TV show you’d like to watch? Let’s talk about it!
I hope you are all doing well! There’s not much to talk about considering that my last post was my monthly wrap-up, so let’s dive right into the trailers!
Movies
Banana Split
THIS IS MY KIND OF MOVIE!!! (I seriously wouldn’t even have minded if they’d made it gay)
Connected
They kind of lost me a little bit with the robot apocalypse? But it still has great animation style.
Artemis Fowl
I hear people who have read the book aren’t into this.
Lost Transmissions
It’s not something I’d expect Simon Pegg in, but I am not against it.
Antebellum
I still think this looks cool?
Only
This … this is exactly like that Casey Affleck movie? Just that it was about his daughter instead of his wife? Why are they producing all these movies where women go extinct???
Seven Stages to Achieve Eternal Bliss
This is the kind of strangeness I expect Taika Waititi to partake in …
Greyhound
I am sorry, but war movies just really aren’t my thing.
Blue Story
Peoples feels about this movie are very mixed and I don’t know what to say about it, cause I don’t think it’s my lane?
Radium Girls
I don’t know why (maybe The Kissing Booth?) but I can’t take Joey King all that serious.
Proxima
Apparently they worked really close with ESA experts to make this movie realistic, but Eva Green is spectacular either way.
Sea Fever
This has been done so many times, it’s just in the sea this time around.
The Other Lamb
Cult movies are just creepy beyond anything.
TV Shows
I Know This Much Is True
We don’t just get one, but TWO Mark Ruffalos in this!
Unorthodox
The first shot is of Berlin and then it just continued far different from what I expected. But it’s very Berlin in the end.
The English Game (Mini-Series)
Did not expect this to get so intense.
Our Girl (Season 4)
I LOVE THIS SHOW! I am actually glad Captain James isn’t in this, because he behaved so out of character last season and I didn’t like that at all. I pretend it never happened.
Elite (Season 3)
I AM READY!!! Like SO SO SO ready!!!
Casa de Papel/Money Heist (Part 4)
I am still no season 1 …
What We Do In the Shadows (Season 2)
Let the weird continue.
Siren (Season 3)
Despite this title sounding like a very me thing, I have never watched the show and therefore have nothing to say.
Ozark (Season 3)
I TRIED, okay? I just didn’t get into this show and was surprised it had a third season.
What did you think? Are there shows or movies you would like to watch? Let’s chat!
February is over (and we even had a lovely leap day this year), but you won’t get my monthly wrap-up until tomorrow. Today remains all about trailers for upcoming films and shows. Let’s get started!
Movies
The High Note
It looks like a simple enough formula, but I would watch this.
The Blithe
The cast of this! And it actually looks like fun too.
Self Made
Anything with Octavia Spencer is a hit!
The Healer
I know it looks cheesy af and I am not sure how much I am into the religious component, but I am kind of into it.
Almost Love
I like how the woman is kind of the sidekick to the gay couple this time around.
Candyman
Look, I don’t watch horror. Why would I want to scare myself on purpose? But, I can acknowledge what Jordan Peele is doing for the genre, especially black people in it. So, I thought I’d share this regardless.
Fatale
This is really more of a teaser than anything else.
Rumble
Guess we are really doing 2021 trailers already?
Emperor
I just saw TVD’s Bonnie and kind of clicked?
Enemy Lines
I don’t think Ed Westwick is still a thing. That’s the only thought I had really.
Abe
Didn’t I already post this but in far worse quality?
Robert the Bruce
I don’t think that’s my kind of historical movie.
The Last Vermeer
And this isn’t really it either.
TV Shows
Gangs of London
This is basically modern day Peaky Blinders and even with Jon Shelby (seriously though, support Joe Cole. He is brilliant!)
Tales from the Loop
I like exploring stuff that doesn’t make sense necessarily.
The Eddy
Musical dramas really can be hit or miss with me and this doesn’t exactly tell us a lot just yet.
GO KARTS
Is this an Australian show? If they made this but didn’t give me a second season of Tidelands, I am going to be pissed.
The Letter for the King
I think I’d watch this.
Betty
I actually haven’t watched very many HBO shows lately and I don’t think I will get started on this one either.
Roswell, New Mexico (Season 2)
When they released the poster for the season, I was like “why does he look like a ghost??”. Never did I expect freaking Max Evans to remain dead permanently. They better fix this.
On My Block (Season 3)
This show is so out there, but also so relatable.
Have you seen any of these before? Would you like to watch any of the things mentioned? Let’s chat!
I don’t even know what I did this week, but post it was not. I do have a couple ideas for upcoming stuff though, so, fingers crossed I’ll get to them next week. For now, let’s stick to trailers though!
Movies
Endings, Beginnings
This movie is largely improvised and I cannot wait to finally watch it!! I saw the interviews and stuff at TIFF last year and have been yearning for at least a trailer since then.
Big Time Adolescence
This is just Pete and MGK being themselves, but I am so glad they FINALLY released the trailer.
Run
Hello Domhnall Gleeson, I don’t know what’s happening, but I want to see it.
The Secret Garden
I am quite excited, even if it is nothing like the old movie … or the book? Because there was no actual magic?? But I think I’ve said all that before.
Dream Horse
I thought I already featured this another week, but it was another horse movie. Who would have thought that 2020 was still the year of horse racing movies?
Bad Education
I thought this was something to do with Jack Whitehall, but alas … it’s a Hugh Jackman thing instead.
The Postcard Killings
Not my genre at all, but I saw Jeffrey Dean Morgan and couldn’t resist.
Human Capital
I saw Robin from Stranger Things and just clicked again.
TV Shows
Amazing Stories
Teen Wolf’s Stiles and YOU’s Love – count me in!
I Am Not Okay With This
ooookay, so I thought this was just awkward teen stuff and not another telekinetic Carrie-esque thing the Stranger Things folks came up, just with the cast of IT, but … I am still going to watch it?
Feel Good
This is actually the comedian’s real story, so that’s neat that she gets to tell it.
Little Fires Everywhere
It looks so good.
Freud
I am not a Freud enthusiast, but this is German/Austrian Netflix content, so I feel a weird loyalty towards it.
Elite (Season 3)
I am so ready for this and SO happy that the wait isn’t that long!
On My Block (Season 3)
This trailer came out of nowhere and the fact that the date is only a couple weeks away is even more surprising, but you won’t see me complaining.
Westworld (Season 3)
I can’t watch this, because I haven’t watched the last season yet. But enjoy!
Did you see something you’d like to watch? Let’s chat!
It’s Sunday and we all know what that stands for on the blog – new trailers! Since I have been posting quite a bit lately, I don’t think we need a catch up on things, let’s just dive right in!
Movies
The Batman
This is a camera test more than anything else, but I wouldn’t even be mad if that’s all they released. No trailers about the storyline or so, just camera tests with different characters. I’d be so into that.
The Green Knight
I AM 100% HERE FOR THIS! 100%!!
The French Dispatch
I am Wes Anderson trash and I will watch this very Anderson-esque tale inspired by The New Yorker!
Hooking Up
I like the male/female role reversal we have going on here and the serious subtext!
After We Collide (After 2)
It looks steamier than the first one? I am basing this all on the trailer, I have to admit that I did not watch that stuff. Also … was that Dylan Sprouse? And I know Candice King is in it too …
The Secret Dare to Dream
Okay … so, not to bash anyone who believes in the book, but … this is a work of fiction and I’d like to consider it as such and ignore the book part? Cause it looks cute, but in a “everyday magic”-kind of way. I believe that it’s productive to go into situations with a positive mindset, but in no way can the power of thinking save your house from a natural disaster. Sorry, but no.
The Iron Mask
Look, I know this story, I just never expected to see it with Schwarzenegger and Jackie Chan?
Tuscaloosa
Not your typical romance movie.
10 Things We Should Do Before We Break Up
Not your typical romance movie, the second.
Run This Town
I just love Ben Platt.
Military Wives
This feels like a bit of a niche audience movie, but I can see some people really enjoying this.
Standing Up Falling Down
I wasn’t sure if I had included that already, so here we go again, just to make sure. (Cause in this house we support Ben Schwartz in all his endeavors)
The Stranger
I have a hard time taking Dane DeHaan seriously, through no fault of his own, but he just has such a young face.
Cut Throat City
Not my thing.
TV Shows
Noughts & Crosses
FINALLY!!! I am not even joking, but I waited over A YEAR for this promo alone. The BBC had it in their 2019 line up and then never released the show. You can’t deny me access to Josh Dylan content for that long.
Survive
Sophie going dark again!
The Letter to the King
I mean, why not? It doesn’t look like it would be off brand for me to watch.
Altered Carbon (Season 2)
Honestly, I didn’t even watch the full trailer, because I was quite happy with the mysterious teaser last week and it’s releasing soon anyway, so I am here for it.
Killing Eve (Season 3 Date Announcement)
Do I really have to say anything?
Sex Education (Season 3 Announcement)
Castlevania (Season 3)
I think I watched the first season of it, but it wasn’t exactly my thing.
The Protector (Season 3)
I know a couple people who will be happy about more of this!
Stranger Things (Season 4)
Who all knew that a certain someone wasn’t dead?
What do you think? Is there something you’d like to watch? Let’s chat!
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.
