(trailer review) - Bad Boys for Life

I guess for the most part, I enjoyed Bad Boys 2, but there is a notable difference between the first and second film.  This one on the other hand looks like more of the same as it's predecessor and I can't say I'm mad at that.  Both Will and Martin are noticeably older and it seems like part 3 will play on that 'Leathal Weapon' "I'm too old for this shit" rift which will provide comic relief in this movie I know I will enjoy.  I'm hoping all the cast is back, as that would be great to see.  Especially if they got some deep cuts from the first and second movie.  I'd buy this for a dollar - sorry, wait, wrong cop movie.

Directed by and starring Will Smith and Marin Lawrence.

(trailer review) - The Banker

Apple are now smack bang in the middle of the streaming wars, well they very soon will be and someone already told me of a series starring Jason Mamoa called "See" which is meant to be a really good watch and has a great concept.  So seeing this trailer obviously intrigued me due to Apple's efforts to plant themselves in this war with the calibre of projects and actors to rival Netflix (I'm sure and the new Disney+) so we shall see what more comes out from Apple TV.

Depending on scheduling and such, I do think Samuel L. Jackson is miscast for this role as it seems to me he is playing "himself" or a character that isn't that far removed from others he has done, but I am loving the 'based on a true story' aspect of the movie.  Anthony Mackie is definitely a very credible star and I do like Nicholas Hoult as he was brilliant in Fury Road and as Beast in the X-Men franchise.  I'm definitely interested in this story as I've heard nothing about it and am keen to learn.  It's just upsetting to see racism in these period pieces which are a reflection on true events that happened in the past.  How many successful black people and areas there would have been for a better America if those who could were allowed to.

Anyway, a definite watch for me.

Directed by George Nolfi and starring Anthony Mackie, Samuel L. Jackson, Nia Long and Nicholas Hoult.

(trailer review) - Jumanji: The Next Level

So, after I had watched the latest edition to the Jumanji franchise (Jamanji: Welcome to the Jungle or Jumanji 2) and after it had done really well, they decided to do a sequel making this a Trilogy.  I'm not sure if they will do another sequel as that is likely to depend on the outcome of this one and if this one is anything like the last, we might get just that.
I enjoyed the last one as I thought it was a surprising success, story wise.  I liked the characters and the jokes and as this looks just as goofy and fun, this has the potential to do better than the last one.  I mean, the whole "body swap" element has not got old yet and provides good laughs.  My only reservation is that, all that sand and no Jungle? Upsetting, but lets see what they do with this.

Directed by Jake Kasdan and starring Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Danny Glover & Danny DeVito
