This Week's Trailers


This was a weird week for trailers. I dunno about you but I never noticed much, Star Wars took up too much of my attention. So I dropped the ball! This weeks had some great trailers, so this post won't include Star Wars as I have already covered it in another post, which if you haven't read you can check it out at the end of this post!

Joy

 You can't always get what you want! This trailer looks like I would really enjoy this movie, which is directed by David O.Russell. The cast look great with Jennifer Lawrence taking on the role of Joy, a housewife with big dreams. She states that, "The world doesn't owe you a thing," and is hell bent on making it. Robert De Niro plays Joys father, Rudy, who is divorced and very brass, stating at a point that it was his "fault that I gave her the confidence to think that she was more than just an unemployed housewife." Bradley Cooper is also in this movie playing what looks like a television producer which is pretty interesting.

 I think that this movie looks and sounds great. The trailer just screams Oscar's but then again most movies do at this time of the year. Even Star Wars. I'm excited to go see it so check it out.

Jessica Jones 

Now this trailer looks dark as hell. Jessica Jones (Kristen Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and Kilgrave i.e. The Purple Man (David Tennant), all appear in the trailer. We actually get to hear David Tennant as Kilgrave which is great as we have only had a whisper or so before now.

I am still really excited for this series, I knew it was dark and Netflix can do dark as we've seen before with Daredevil. I also am really excited to see the story of a pretty indestructible superhero, which is why I think David Tennant's character is going to work well beside Jessica Jones as her mind is not indestructible.

Jane Got A Gun

Now the first time I watched this trailer I couldn't stop singing Aerosmith, I know it's Janie, but they could have used that song to much effect in this trailer and they didn't. But that's OK. So Jane (Natalie Portman) is wanted by some guy named Colum played by Ewan McGregor, who I didn't recognise until maybe his third appearance. Her husband has what looks like a bounty on his head and she is defending him. So she goes and tries to convince a hired gun named Dan (Joel Edgerton) to help her. They have a romantic history so this could play out any way.

I am all for kick ass women and this looks like it could be one of those roles but I need to see more to decide if I want to see it or not. We'll see, it just didn't draw me as much as Joy did, but I'll look out for it.

Daddy's Home

So yeah, this trailer looks pretty funny. It tells the story of the story of Brad (Will Ferrell), a step father to two kids. There dad Dusty (Mark Wahlberg) comes to town for what looks like Christmas, and then a sort of dad off happens between the two.

Now I love stupid movies, there my shame movies, but I love them so much. The Other Guys was brilliant to me because it was so stupid, but these two had brilliant chemistry with each other. Now I love a smart comedy that makes you think, I probably know more about American politics than some Americans due to my love for these sorts of shows. But sometimes its just good to sit back, relax and switch off. This will be a great movie to switch off too.

The X-files


My tinfoil hat is officially on guys! Is this the Matrix? I kid, it's nearly time to go back to the X-files, and I'm excited. So in this little teaser trailer we get to see Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) in action as everybody's favourite conspiracy fighting duo. Mulder asks Skinner (Mitch Pileggi), "What if everything was a lie?" during a ton of little clips.

I like it, doesn't give too much away while still managing to be exciting. I can't wait for 2016!

So that's all the trailers I we got this week, did I miss any of your favourites then mention in the comments below. I don't usually talk about new trailers on movies or TV that I have already spoken about before. Unless I am really excited about them. So if you'd like my opinion on any please comment below.

Game of Thrones - The Hall of Faces Trailer and Theories!

I've been watching out for this trailer for the past week and was pretty excited to see some footage from the new season. Instead we got to see the faces of characters, some of whom are long lost, and others who have yet to leave us. SPOILER WARNING for those who haven't caught up with season five. The trailer takes place in the Hall of Faces, which is inside the House of Black and White in Braavos. The hall looks great, creepy but great. We can hear some whispers which are too quiet for me to make out. Then Ned's (Sean Bean) face appears on screen, we then hear him say a line from the show's first ever episode called Winter is Coming.    "The Man who passes the sentence should swing the sword." The screen then fades to black and we then see a clip of some more rows of heads. We then hear even more whispers and which I think sounds like some drops of waters. We then hear the voice of Robb Stark (Richard Madden) who we hear give a quote from seaso

Mental Illness in TV and Film - Dementors

                                                                                                      Image Source Dementors have haunted me ever since I read The Prisoner of Azkaban way back in 1999. I was a Pre-Teen who was pretty much unaware of the depression that was just around the corner, in a way this book prepared me for what was to come, and after multiple reads, it became my go-to reference when explaining my depression. First off let's give a brief outline of Dementors, these magical wraith-like creatures can generally be found guarding Azkaban Prison, sucking the happiness, hope, and peace out of everyone around them. If you have had a horrible life marked by loss and abuse (just like Harry) you are much more affected by them than someone who has not, as they also cause depression and despair in there victims. They can sense and taste fear, but thankfully they can't seem to tell people of the same build from each other, and they are able to communicate wit

Mockingjay Part 2 Teaser

So in a similar vein to Sony releasing a Bond teaser to get our juices flowing for release, Lionsgate release their own Mockingjay Part Two clip. SPOILERS AND THEORIES ARE COMING! I haven't read the books but I have a few theories after watching this clip. I may be 100% wrong though, no guarantees. So in the trailer our Mockingjay Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence), is greeted by our newlywed Finnick (Sam Claflin). She comments at how short his honeymoon was and he replies stating that he'll,"be having one in the capital, after they take it." Well if this doesn't scream I'm going to die in this fight then I do not know what does. We are then greeted by Boggs (Mahershala Ali), he is commanding the non combat unit, they will be days behind the first unit and that Lt Jackson (Michelle Forbes) is his second in command. Cressida (Natalie Dorma) tells us the team are going to be the Star Squad and that Katniss is at her most effective when she is seen by the masses.
