(trailer review) - Artemis Fowl


To be honest, I'm just not sure about this movie.  Men in Black mixed with Harry Potter? And while Colin Farrell is a fine actor, one I recently saw in Guy Ritchie's 'The Gentleman' and loved it and him in it, this movie seems to be heavily focused on his character's son who, well...comes across as wooden, I think.  There is something about this trailer that screams fun, but at the same time still comes across as boring and lacking.  Maybe the movie is just not for me or I'm just disinterested in it from this trailer.  Artemis Fowl's line delivery (or maybe it's the script) is dead.  And although I'm not overly fussed about Harry Potter or Men In Black, I do like a Sci-Fi fantasy.  Maybe another trailer may sell me on it.

(trailer review) - Ozark: Season 3


I cannot remember WHO told me to watch this show, but damn, I'm glad that I did.

For any of you that may have watched Breaking Bad, Ozark reminds me of that but darker and less science, bitch (if you get the reference).  For a little synopsis on the story soo far, Marty is a family man who works in finance, but when Marty falls into the pocket of the Columbian Cartel, owing them a great amount of money, Marty must take his family to the Ozarks where he must find a way to make that money back with interest or the Cartel will kill him and his family.  To top it off, things don't go as swimmingly as he would have thought once he arrives with problems arising day by day.

Phenomenal show.  The way the show has gripped me, has me watching this trailer with glee.  Nice to see Tommy has moved to the Ozarks (shared universe...lol) and now that they have the Casino, you just know (and from the trailer), that it is about to go down.  If you re not least watching it, get on it.

Directed by and starring Jason Bateman, Laura Linney, Sofia Hublitz, Skylar Gaertner, Julia Garner, Jordana Spiro, Jason Butler Harner, Esai Morales, Peter Mullan, Lisa Emery, Charlie Tahan

(trailer review) - Candyman


So, I've been on holiday for a few weeks so ultimately I've been out of the loop.  But whilst on holiday I managed to see this trailer and I was very happy that we are now at this stage, a trailer for a movie I enjoyed when I was younger.  I'm not sure if I was of age, but it didn't scare me, although I was not about to try and say Candyman 5 times in front of a mirror.

With this trailer, we see Yahya Abdul-Mateen as what seems to be a researcher who eventually turns into the titular character during the course of this movie and 5 White girls are expected to die because they did the name in unison in front of a mirror in the ladies toilets.  I mean, why would you do that? Folk tale or not, I would not be pushing buttons.
There is a excellent scene of a woman silencing the name being said who I've read was in the original movie, maybe...I'll have a look in a sec, but this movie, produced by the man who directed 'Us' and 'Get Out', Jordan Peele, I believe we are going to be in for a treat....oh and Tony Todd.

Directed by Nia DaCosta and Starring Nia DaCosta, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Teyonah Parris, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Colman Domingo, Vanessa Estelle Williams, Tony Todd
