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.

Daredevil Season 2 Trailer

SPOILERS, as always for those who haven't watched season one.  So everyone's favorite Blind(ish) Superhero is back in a new trailer. Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) is feeling guilty, maybe for the death of Ben Urich (Vondie Curtis-Hall) last season, maybe for something completely different. Father Lantom (Peter McRobbie) tells Matt that guilt can be a good, although Karen (Deborah Ann Woll) and Foggy (Elden Henson) also look plenty guilty in this teaser trailer. We then see a bunch of clips including Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson) in her nurse scrubs, and Elektra (Elodie Yung) getting her mask on, all while hearing a voice over from Father Lantom who indicates that it may be because Matt's work as Daredevil is not yet finished. We then see Karen Page holding a Punisher skull on a x-ray and looking pretty freaked out by it. Then comes what I am most looking forward to, Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) is here, in a hospital (watch out Claire) and looking pretty bad ass if I do...

Agents of Shield: Chaos Theory Top Five Moments!

                                                                             [Courtesy of Marvel/ABC] So this week's Agents of Shield episode was a pretty jammed packed affair, from the origins of Lash to the slight hope we may actually get to see a romance (it's far off in the distance). So here is my top five moments in order, and don't worry if I missed your best bits, honorable mentions shall be at the bottom. If you aren't caught up with the show then look away now as I will be mentioning  SPOILERS! 5. Hope                                                                              ...

Mental Illness in TV and Film - Frozen

I did say last week that I was taken time off to grieve but after watching Frozen at the weekend I couldn't help but look at it from a Mental Illness perspective. I took this as a sign that I was ready to continue writing this series. Is Elsa a metaphor for Anxiety? The disorder that keeps me up at night seems to be prevalent in this film, even Grand Pabbie says it to a young Elsa at the start of the film, "Fear will be your enemy," and we see Elsa lash out at her coronation celebration. The fear she has inside her makes Elsa's powers go haywire, she fears her secret will be revealed to others around her, just as I feel people will find out I have anxiety just by being around me. But fear is not the solution, it ends up hurting the people Elsa loves the most, as she lashes out and pushes them away. She becomes so scared of hurting others that she ends up hurting them. Then when her powers get out of control she runs away and hides inside her own Ice Palac...
