Here’s The Trailer for News of the World!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Earlier this year, I think almost everyone in America was thrown into a moment of panic when it was announced that Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson had been diagnosed with COVID-19.  Not only did it show us that anyone could get the disease but it also forced to consider the fact that Tom Hanks is just as mortal as the rest of us.  At that moment, we stopped taking Tom Hanks for granted.

Fortunately, both Tom and Rita recovered from the Coronavirus.  When the previously unheralded Greyhound premiered on AppleTV+, it was an unexpected hit and many observes assumed that it was all due to people suddenly remembering just how much they loved Tom Hanks.  This December, Hanks has another movie coming out and there’s some speculation that his role in News of the World could lead to Hanks picking up another Oscar nomination.

In News of the World, Hanks stars as a Civil War veteran who has been tasked with delivering a girl back to her aunt and uncle.  The catch is that the girl doesn’t want to return back home.  News of the World reunites Hanks with his Captain Phillips director, Paul Greengrass.  Captain Phillips featured what was perhaps Tom Hanks’s best performance to date.  Strangely enough, Hanks did not receive an Oscar nomination for that performance.  At the time, it was felt that the Academy was guilty of taking Hanks for granted.  If this year has taught us anything, it’s that you should never take anyone or their talent for granted.

Here’s the first trailer for News of the World, which will be released in December:

Here’s The Trailer For Dead Reckoning

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Let’s end this day with one last trailer.

This is the trailer for Dead Reckoning.  The trailer looks low budget and kind of predictable but that explosion at the end had to have cost some money, right?  Anyway, this film looks very melodramatic and very silly and very over the top and I imagine I’ll probably love it for exactly those reasons.

Here’s the trailer:

Here’s The Trailer for The Empty Man!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

The Empty Man is an upcoming horror film about a spirit that is vengeful because …. well, it’s empty, I guess.  I mean, I guess that would make me angry too.  No one wants to be shallow.

Anyway, here’s the trailer.  How many clichés can you count?

Here’s The Trailer for I’m Your Woman

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

I’m Your Woman is an upcoming 70s crime drama, which is another way of saying that it’s a film about people who surround themselves with wood paneling and shag carpeting.  In this one, Rachel Brosnahan plays a woman who is forced to go on the run after her husband betrays his criminal partners.

I’m Your Woman will be released on Prime on December 11th.  Here’s the trailer:

Here’s The Trailer For Last Three Days!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

I have no idea what’s going on in the trailer for Last Three Days but I do appreciate that it encourages me to “question reality.”  That’s always a good sign.

For the record, I do not think that this film is connected to The Next Three Days or Last Days of American Crime.

Watch the trailer and judge for yourself:

Here’s The Trailer for Soul!

Here’s the latest trailer for Soul!

Yes, yes …. I know.  I’m two days late in sharing this.  Listen, these things happen and I think you should find it within your soul to forgive me.  After all, how can you be angry when I’m sharing a trailer for a PIXAR film?

Personally, I have loved just about every PIXAR film that I’ve ever seen.  That said, I also think that it’s possible that PIXAR is secretly run by aliens who want to see how frequently someone can be traumatized before they totally give up on happiness.  From all of the toys being given away in Toy Story 3 to the first ten minutes of Up, PIXAR is all about getting people to cry.  I’ve cried during every PIXAR film that I’ve ever watched, with exception of those movies about the talking cars.

This latest PIXAR film is called Soul and it’s about just that.  It’s about …. well, the plot sounds really strange to me so I’m not even sure if I want to try to type it out.  I will say that it involves death and not giving up on your dreams and celebrating life and it’ll probably make me cry a lot.

Soul was originally going to be released into theaters but we all know what they say about the best laid plans of Disney and PIXAR.  So, instead, it’ll be released on Disney+ on Christmas Day.  Hopefully, Disney+ will let its subscribers watch it, as opposed to charging them an extra thirty dollars for the opportunity.  (That’s right …. I’m looking at you, Mulan!)

Here’s the latest trailer for Soul:

Here’s The Trailer for Jungleland!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

The upcoming film Jungleland features a trio of underrated actors: Charlie Hunnam, Jack O’Connell, and Jonathan Majors.  It’s a film about a bare knuckles boxer who travels across the country with his brother, who also happens to be his manager.  I assume that they solve crimes or something.  The important thing, though, is to remember the friends that everyone made along the way.

Anyway, Jungleland is due to be released on November 6th and here’s the trailer:

Here’s The Second Trailer For Ammonite!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Yesterday, the second trailer for Ammonite dropped.

Up until a few months ago, Ammonite was getting a lot of buzz as a possible best picture nominee.  That buzz has died down a bit and it seems like, whenever I read anything about the Oscar race, Ammonite is kind of getting overshadowed by the acclaim that’s greeted Nomadland and One Night In Miami.  One thing that I’ve repeatedly seen is people who have seen the film saying that it doesn’t quite work but that’s it’s beautifully acted by Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan.  Probably not coincidentally, Winslet and Ronan are both still very much a part of the current Oscar speculation even if Ammonite is no longer the Best Picture favorite that it once was.

Myself, I’m still looking forward to seeing the film.  Winslet is one of the greatest actress of her generation and Ronan is one of the greatest of her’s.  Anything that brings these two together should be worth watching.

Here’s the second trailer for Ammonite:

Here’s The Trailer for All Joking Aside!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

All Joking Aside is a new film from Quiver Pictures, which will be released, on demand, in November.  November 13th, to be exact!

It’s a film set in the world of stand-up comedy.  Raylene Harewood plays a young, aspiring comedian who develops an unusual friendship with an older, jaded comic after he heckles during her first open mic.  The film was directed by Shannon Kohli.  To quote Kohli from the film’s press release, “While more and more funny women are breaking through and establishing a presence in popular culture, it’s a trend that needs to be supported and I really hope that this film can play a part in that.”  That sounds good to me!

Here’s the trailer!

All Joking Aside will be released on November 13th.
