Here is your chance to get a little insight on which film or TV Show you may be keen on seeing or which film or TV Show you may want to miss altogether.
These are Reel Ree:views here, keeping it concrete and reel...and somewhat, unbiased...well as much as possible, that is!
And just like that, we have another trailer! Right now Marvel are on a role and whilst Loki is currently airring as a weekly show, soon Black Widow will come out and then this...and this looks great.
We see soo much more in this trailer. We see the rings, how they work and what they do. We see the training Shang-Shi had to endure and we see a lot more fighting, A LOT more fighting and a Dragon! Whilst a lot of publications/reviewers are saying this ISN'T Fin Fang Foom, I'm hoping it is. I think what is wild, is the Abomination from 'The Incredible Hulk' and Wong from 'Doctor Strange'. The levels has just gone up a notch. Let me see a Fin Fang Foom though...
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and starring Simu Liu, Awkwafina, Tony Leung, Fala Chen, Meng'er Zhang, Florian Munteanu, Ronny Chieng, Michelle Yeoh.

It's nice to see an all-star black cast like this. I would say it doesn't happen often, but I guess it does. Tyler Perry movies and such but although I'm not saying his movies are not quality, look at the cast! Look at the trailer! I mean, it's Regina King, Idris Elba, Jonathan Majors, Zazie Beetz, LaKeith Stanfield AND Delroy Lindo! Could this cast get any greater?
This trailer looks superb and was giving me a Tarantino feel (just a little) and the vibes of Dolemite Is My Name, and with the angles, the shots, everything about it was giving me a comic book feel, but as a western and with historical black folks from that era. The incorporation of the music, one I know very very VERY well and black people of around my age, especially in London would definitely know this tune too; linked to the scenes and shots, like the gun firing or the turning of the wheels on the train in tune with the music, excellent. I cannot wait to see this and learn more about these people in history as in most film and westerns, you don't ever really see black people as they are usually far and few, so it is nice to have some representation. Another trailer would be excellent.

I'm not sure how old I was when I first watched the first Candyman film from the 90's. I know, I enjoyed it and I wasn't scared. What I will say though, and it bares repeating since I said it in my last review, I will not and would not say Candyman 5 times in front of a mirror, folk tale or not. This trailer is infinitely much better as it shows more scenes, more actors/characters and more of the film.
I stated in my last review that Yahya's character is more of a researcher but in this trailer I got journalist vibes. I also got vibes that he wasn't turning into Candyman himself and that Tony Todd is back, but then there's this skin thing so maybe Candyman will be reborn through Yahya's character going forward. What ever it is, this looks like a treat. By the way, those puppets look creepy.
Directed by Nia DaCosta and Starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Teyonah Parris, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Colman Domingo, Vanessa Estelle Williams, Tony Todd

(Red Band Trailer) Red Band Trailer - Please note adult themed material. First and foremost, this trailer came out of nowhere. Secondly, this trailer bangs! Or slaps! Whatever word you want to associate with something that tickles your pickle and you really enjoyed it, because this here, is that trailer. The first Suicide Squad movie was passable, but only just. I had a good time with it but I had to forgive a lot of things I just didn't like. This trailer looks like I'm just going to like every moment of the movie because James Gunn IS a very good director!
We get a bit of the story this time around, Project Starfish and the crew that will be accompanying Bloodsport, a man who took down Superman. I mean, what? A bunch of villains together trying to save the world? I'm not sure how they will explain the absence of superheroes especially as you have a Shazam, a Superman, a Batman, a Wonder Woman or Aquaman, so on and so forth, but judging by how good this looks, I'm down for these guys to do the mission by themselves. Not to mention, a bunch of them are dying in this movie...don't get too attached.
Directed by James Gunn and starring Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Joel Kinnaman, Sylvester Stallone, Viola Davis, Jai Courtney and Peter Capaldi

At the end of the trailer, it says Snake Eyes and in very small it says G.I. Joe Origins. I guess that is a way to tell people that this is part of the G.I. Joe franchise so people won't be confused. However, I'm not even sure if that is a good thing! Could Snake Eyes make that money without it being "linked" to the G.I Joe series which has been for the most part, pants!? I guess we will never know now, but Bumblebee was a great film, but because it wasn't titled Transformers: Bumblebee, there is an argument to be made that, the movie just was not recognised and people didn't know what it was so they never saw it. It's a tough one because everyone remembers X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but then, don't we just want to see ninja's fight? Sometimes the trailer sells itself, no?
With that said, this trailer has definitely sold me. A man with no real family working at a fish factory saves a fellow worker/friend and is taken away to have a new life, trained and to become a ninja. Doesn't everyone want to be a ninja? It kind of write itself, no? I'm getting a little bit of John Wick 3 vibes from this and I love it. Those motorcycle chase scenes look great. I'm not sure if it could beat motorcyles and a horse chase but we will see. Directed by Robert Schwentke and starring Henry Golding, Andrew Koji, Úrsula Corberó, Samara Weaving, Haruka Abe, Takehiro Hira & Iko Uwais

I'm going to start off with...maybe I should have re-watched the first one before watching this. Although I remember the first one, very vaguely, I remembered it was funny in places and it was simply Ryan Reynolds doing Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson doing Samuel L. Jackson with a lot of craziness involved and guns. In this case, the sequel, this is more of the same but, I'm not sure if it was the drink, tiredness or straight delirium, but this movie had me laughing sooo hard, I was streaming tears and struggling to breathe. It actually took me out of the film for possibly 5 minutes because I was trying to catch my breath back and stop crying! #Sigh #Goodtimes
Michael Bryce is a Bodyguard, or in this case, a former bodyguard. Traumatised and suffering from PTSD, he wants out of the life and wants to make peace with it. However, whilst trying to get away from it all and trying to get some peace and relaxation, Sonia Kincaid finds him and drags him back into the fold of being a Bodyguard for her whilst she has her own mission. The problem is, Michael is on a sabbatical from guns and firearms and wants nothing to do with it all, but when Interpol show up demanding help to thwart a terrorist mastermind named Aristotle Papadopoulos, Bryce must find a way to carry out the mission and get back into bodyguarding, the very thing he has been trying to get away from.
This film is funny! Whilst there might be some over the top moments, some dark humour, the action comedy doesn't get any more action comedy than this. There was a scene where a car blows up (it's an action film, this can't be a spoiler), and the first thing I thought was, "Ok, that was excessive...Michael Bay would have loved that" But that's just it, the film has excessive moments a plenty, but teeters on the end of anything in the recent Fast and Furious movies. This movie does everything to push Michael Bryce, especially as he doesn't want to be a bodyguard, so essentially what the life of bodyguarding is like and pairs him up with two impossible people he shouldn't be around.
There is a scene later in the movie that straight killed me in the cinema and I can't say too much as I could give away the scene but it was comedic genius. Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds destroyed the scene as the acting was perfect especially coming from their characters. Selma was also masterful as she was straight fowl-mouthed and everything you may vaguely remember from the first movie, but more. Antonio was great as essentially a Bond villain and he also played his part well, but a special shout out goes to, Frank Grillo, Richard E. Grant and Tom Hooper, as Frank was good, Richard was great and Tom was just excellent. I'm enjoying seeing more of Tom in films as I remember him from Game of Thrones as Dickkon, but more recently as Luther in Umbrella Academy. Put him in the MCU so we have more 'T' 'H' 's to rival the many Chris'.
You do not necessarily need to see the first movie to watch this one as it pretty much stands by itself and the movie has some soft character building moments too, but all in all, this was definitely worth the watch as I had soo much fun with this! I hope they do another.

This trailer is a little better I think. You get to see more of the characters, more of the story and it looks better than just a Ready Player One with a Basketball, trailer. More emphasis on the characters which is always a good look and the story.
I'm still not sure if I am interested in watching the movie though as I'm not a LeBron fan...and him as an actor? Hmmm.... I don't care for the franchise, but...I guess it could be fun. I mean who doesn't like a Looney Tunes character? Bugs, Daffy, Porky? I mean, that Wild E. Coyote bit had me laughing as he's always in the thick of something mad he does to himself. The animation and new look of the characters look great too...not quite The Lion King but it looks good enough. That end tag with Granny saying "Haters gonna hate" was funny! Maybe another trailer might actually sell me, but I really want a new "Hit 'Em High" music video with the same rappers! Please make that happen!
Directed By Malcolm D. Lee and starring LeBron James, Don Cheadle, Khris Davis, Sonequa Martin-Green, Cedric Joe, Jeff Bergman & Eric Bauza

I can guarantee you that men and some women born in the 70's to 80's are actually humming "I Need a Hero" right now! Well I certainly am. From those who brought us 'Blood of Zeus' and 'Castlevania', both on Netflix, 'Masters of the Universe' will also be a Netflix situation brought to us by none other than Kevin Smith.
The 1980's was an explosive year for cartoons AND film and it has been extremely difficult to recreate content from that era. Macho men, some campiness here and there, but to recapture some of these top shows is difficult, unless you are able to have lived through that error and understand the modern day sensibilities along with storytelling and animation. This trailer looks like the team behind Kevin Smith has hit the nail on the head with this one. I get a Castlevania vibe for obvious reasons, but the fighting, the magic, the animation. We just need another trailer with some dialogue and we are in! This looks like it is going to be absolutely great. I guess it goes without saying, I was a fan of He-Man when I was younger, like a trillion others!

Emily Blunt is one of my favourite female actors right now. I cannot remember what I first saw her in, maybe Looper with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis, but she was great in that. Another film she was great in was, Live. Die. Repeat and from that point, I knew I would pretty much love her in anything she is in. Of course I had seen the first A Quiet Place movie and I loved it. It took me a while before I saw it, but when I did and heard about the sequel, I was 100% down. But is this a good sequel? Yes, yes it is.
Picking up from the events of the last movie, the Abbott's family continue on their journey to look for other survivors. Evelyn travels with her deaf daughter, son and baby until they bump into another survivor. Now knowing how to incapacitate the creatures, Regan conjures up a plan to pass on her knowledge to others which means travelling to a radio tower to pass the frequency on to help weaponise it against the creatures.
There is nothing more I can really say about this movie without spoiling it, but I really enjoyed this movie. I loved how it started because I was not expecting it, but how it starts shows you exactly what you are getting into immediately. It's a crash course of what to expect. If you hadn't watched the first movie, the opening scenes scream at you that, no noise is to be made or you are pretty much dead. It's brilliant. There are scenes where we have a perspective and it is quiet, which bring us a contrast of action in silence which was really cool, very few films incorporate silent action into their movies.
As the movies goes on though, there is one or two bits I didn't like and wondered how something was possible or how someone knew something, etc, unless it was just instinct...but for the most part, I loved that they touched on the fact that, in a situation like this, outside your family unit or maybe even within your family unit, monsters can be anywhere and anyone and you cannot trust anybody. What makes life in this world difficult, is not to make any noise and that is where ALL of the tension is coming from. Can you imagine travelling to your local corner shop without make any noise? I guess it sounds simple until everything around you is quiet. It's like when you are creeping in the dead of night.
Whilst some might not like this movie because it doesn't do much different from the first movie, but you do get some progression with the Abbotts family and their story along with perspectives of other's in the same situation. I doubt you would hate the movie if you have seen the first movie, but if you do not like jump scares, this will not be the movie for you. If you did really enjoy the first movie, there is a chance you will love this one, although the movies does split the story between the characters, you are never not bored and kept at the edge of your seat. The acting is also excellent from every cast member and although the children have grown a little since, it really doesn't mess up the story or the feel of the characters. If John can get another on the way immediately , would be great!

Now this looks like a great all star cast, from Don Cheadle, Benicio del Toro, Ray Liotta, Jon Hamm and even David Harbour, Brandon Fraser and Bill Duke...I'm actually loving the line-up as well as this trailer as it looks really good. Very humorous is a black comedy type of way. Almost Wes Anderson-like.
A period crime thriller centred around a group of small-time criminals who are hired to babysit a man's wife and child whilst the husband is tasked to get some classified documents, then to go home to his wife and child who seem to be "held hostage"; what seemed as a simple job which goes awry with bounties on their heads and the cops trying to catch them, they realise they were stitched up.
From the director of the Ocean's "Trilogy", Contagion, Magic Mike & Logan Lucky, Steven Soderbergh has here, what seems to be a very entertaining film on his hands with one of the best lines I've heard in a while "The problem is, you're not smart enough to know how not smart you are, which makes you unpredictable". Brilliant!

He has been Wolverine in the X-Men franchise for years and there would be a ton of people who would only know him for that role, especially as he was in that role for 16 years or so, with that said, Hugh is a great actor outside of Logan. Prisoners, Swordfish, The Prestige, Real Steal, just to name a few, but this film looks great!
Looking like Inception, the city Jack and Mal built, but is now surrounded in water, and with a similar concept of entering a device, but not to live out your dreams and make whatever world you want, but to delve deep into your memories and relive them, this seems phenomenal. It reminds me of that Black Mirror episode 'The Entire History of you' where you can record things as you see them and then recall them at any moment and also project them onto walls to relive a moment. There is a quote in this movie that stuck out to me "nothing is more addictive than the past", which reminded me of how people would remember the glory days or when things were perfect or different from the now reality. Like, haven't you thought about being a child instead of an adult and not having to deal with adulting for a week.....or ever! This looks great to me and I am totally down!
Directed by Lisa Joy and starring Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Ferguson, Thandiwe Newton, Cliff Curtis, Marina de Tavira, Daniel Wu, Mojean Aria, Brett Cullen, Natalie Martinez, Angela Sarafyan & Nico Parker

Emma Stone is a fantastic actor. I think I knew her from 'Zombieland' back in 2009, a film I loved. I also remember her from 'Gangster Squad' and she was great as Gwen Stacy in 'The Amazing Spider-Man'. When I saw her in one of my least mentioned but loved movies, 'Birdman (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)', is when I thought to myself, "That girl from Zombieland is really really good". From then I heard about her performance in 'La La Land' and the Awards she won, she is definitely a natural talent and to think she even came back for 'Zombieland: Double Tap' shows how A-Class she is as a person. Her performance in Cruella, well the film in of itself, hmmm...well she's great and doesn't disappoint. I'll Explain.
Estella Miller was born different. She had different colour hair from birth and was a jovial and rebellious child with a cruel streak. Nicknamed Cruella by her mother, Estella had a talent for fashion but when Estella's mother dies, this pushes her over the edge where she moves to London, meets Jasper and Horace who become her friends and ultimately help her get a job which will have her designing for Baroness Von Hellman, a Narcissistic renowened designer, head of a prestigious London fashion house.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie. I never cared for 101 Dalmations or the characters of the story. I understood who Cruella was back in the day but I never cared for her. Along with Disney giving villains story and to some extent, turning them into anti-heroes, I definitely was not sure how they would deal with the telling of this villain who kills puppies and makes coats out of their fur. I mean, that would not go down with the kids these days, you know, cancel culture and all that. You see Disney back in the day were dark and cold in their storytelling, so the retelling of these older films as live action will be difficult and challenging but I had fun with this movie.
I enjoyed this movie because although the child acting was bad, the adult actors were amazing. Paul Walter Hauser is quickly becoming one of my favourite actors and for me was a standout. I recognised him from 'I, Tonya' and he was simply brilliant in that. I then noticed him in 'Da 5 Bloods' and although a smaller part, was just as great as the other great actors present. But right now, I'll watch anything he is in and his British accent was spot on. Joel Fry, although I haven't seen him in anything apart from Game of Thrones, he was also decent and somewhat noteworthy as I liked his character. But without a shadow of doubt, Emma Thompson AND Emma Stone were bar-for-bar, acting-for-acting, the the best parts of this movie as they carried the movie on their backs with a great performance from each other. They have both won the Academy Awards and it shows. There is a speech E.Stone does near the end of the movie and it was a great and powerful performance. E.Thompson's mannerisms as the Baroness were excellent and written soo well. There came a point where I just zoned into the movie and was sailing on how wonderfully crafted the script was as well as the performances and the look.
The visuals, the outfits the music. Although a lot of green-screen was used in places as well as some unreal dogs, I loved what they did with some of the "characters" as well as the dogs used. I'm sure there is a dog named Blinky, which was really cute and the settings, decor and costumes, props and sets for the 70's was soo accurate. I wasn't born in that decade but seeing the old "hop-on, hop-off" buses really got me in the feels. I mean, the department store Estella works at, is still there and looks exactly the same as it is in the movie now. The outfits were stunning and jaw dropping, with some of the gags used for these outfits, beyond creative and amazing. The music was ok as I wasn't really impressed by it to notice it. The only real issue with this movie though, is that nobody wanted it AND it isn't essentially WOW! It's a good movie and enjoyable but it isn't "Wow, that movie was sooo good it deserves an award". It is more of a "Wow, the movies was great for streaming". Not to say you shouldn't go out and watch at the cinema, but I feel there is something about it that doesn't quite get there. Strangely enough, the performances could, but the screenplay/story was average in comparison to the performances that outshone the story which leaves it a little lacklustre.
All in all though, even if you didn't care for the movie or the character's, this is a nice little watch for the kids in the cinema or if you are out and about and you want to kill some times and enjoy a movie whilst out, but if you don't feel like venturing out, you could also watch it on Disney Plus (like me) with Nacho's and Popcorn pre-made and have a lovely evening on the sofa enjoying Disney's ambitious project.
