Coming Soon
What with Disney giving all their classic animated films the live-action treatment, it was only a matter of time until we’d get a live-action Jungle Book. The trailer is impressive, but the giant amount of CGI on display here does make you wonder: it must’ve been hard for new-kid-on-the-block Neel Sethi, who plays Mowgli, to interact with all the green screens and actors fitted with giant motion capture suits.
There are some things to mention here. First, this is not Point Break (2015). Second, this is pretty much the Adam Sandler-type movie we wished for, but Adam Sandler can no longer make them since he sold his soul.
It’s a feel-good comedy but way more ridiculous than I expected. Most often, a feel-good comedy is centered around tame jokes and a situation that is easily identifiable. This film seems to be based around a young man’s coming-of-age through time spent with a retired CIA assassin suffering a terminal illness.

Okay, this has everything I need as a young adult with no children. This movie has everything from a cavalcade of comedy stars, child zombies and a super stupid but ultimately inspired plot. Chicken nuggets have infected elementary school children with a strange virus.
Have you ever known anybody who wanted to be different than they were? Of course you have. Then have you ever known someone who wanted to be the opposite of what they were?
Why are you here, Jack Black? You weren’t a part of my childhood. No, you were the uncredited side character during my awkward adolescent years!

If you don’t know who William Shakespeare is, we have failed you as a society. Hollywood has decided to make up for that shortcoming with the story of Macbeth. This interpretation comes as a war drama that has way more colors and wide shots than my middle school English class informed me about.
Ville-Marie is a Canadian, French-spoken film about a French actress who takes on a project to get closer to her son, who is in Montreal, Canada, in the hope to reconnect with him. For the first half, the trailer promises a fairly typical family drama, but then it starts to hint at a much darker undertone. As always, Monica Bellucci is mesmerising.
Interesting. Yun-Fat Chow doesn’t seem to age while Li Gong does. Alright, due to the fact that my favorite Hong Kong actors are getting old, I’m really adamant about doing this trailer discussion.
Here comes every new parents’ nightmare, an unattended child. T.S.

Let’s face it, you’ve been waiting for this one. Derek and Hansel are back and ready to blow your mind. Sadly, the trailer is just a teaser with no scenes from the movie.
