Columbia Screening Pass-palooza: “Breaking In”!

Posted on May 1, 2018 by Denise

Gabrielle Union is kicking ass and taking names y’all!  Well, she does in the new movie Breaking In.  I don’t know what she does on her free time, and I’m not one to judge.  And I’ve got passes for this film! Synopsis!

Next Mother’s Day, Gabrielle Union stars as a woman who will stop at nothing to rescue her two children being held hostage in a house designed with impenetrable security.  No trap, no trick and especially no man inside can match a mother with a mission when she is determined on Breaking In.

The trailer looks like an action-film spin on You’re Next, which is an absolutely incredible horror flick [look for a review for Next in this October’s 31 in 31…] And if that’s the case, I can’t wait!  But honestly, I’m in it for Union, who’s an incredible performer.  You in too?  Let’s go!

TrailerWatch: “Venom” brings Tom Hardy’s symbiote to life

Posted on April 25, 2018 by Denise

Ready for a new Marvel Universe?  Because the Sony Marvel Universe is comin’ at’cha with Venom, the first film of the SMU. Tom Hardy, superhero! Even big indie talent like Michelle Williams is on board! Synopsis!

One of Marvel’s most enigmatic, complex and badass characters comes to the big screen, starring Academy Award® nominated actor Tom Hardy as the lethal protector Venom.

I’ma say it; the CGI Venom looks…a bit rubbery. Guess that’s the vibe for this flexible symbiote? But the motorcycle scene looks badass. Venom looks like the start of a darker universe than the MCU, and probably a bit more focused on slam-bang action instead of superhero shenanigans.  I like shenanigans, but I like dark as well.  So let’s hope Hardy and company bring the pain.  Venom hits theaters this August.

TrailerWatch – “CRAZY RICH ASIANS brings the bling

Posted on April 23, 2018 by Denise

Holy bleep, I’ve been waiting for this trailer. Fantastic book, and a star studded cast led by Fresh Off the Boat‘s Constance Wu. Synopsis!

Rachel Chu is happy to accompany her longtime boyfriend, Nick, to his best friend’s wedding in Singapore. She’s also surprised to learn that Nick’s family is extremely wealthy and he’s considered one of the country’s most eligible bachelors. Thrust into the spotlight, Rachel must now contend with jealous socialites, quirky relatives and something far, far worse — Nick’s disapproving mother.

From the opening strains of the Flying Lizard’s cover of “Money (That’s What I Want)” to the lush, opulent world of Nick’s family, this looks like a must see. I can’t wait til it hits theaters August 17th.

Baltimore Screening Pass-palooza: “Tully”!

Posted on April 18, 2018 by Denise

Ready to get your fun on?  Because I’ve got passes for Tully, the latest Jason Reitman/Diablo Cody joint!  Synopsis!

Marlo (Charlize Theron) , a mother of three including a newborn baby, is gifted a night nanny by her brother (Mark Duplass). Hesitant to the extravagance at first, Marlo comes to form a unique bond with the thoughtful, surprising, and sometimes challenging young nanny named Tully (Mackenzie Davis).

The trailer looks like it’ll be full of the same kind of quirky comedy and straight-up feels that Juno delivered. So who’s with me?

“Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” – new poster released!

Posted on April 17, 2018 by Denise

Clicky for the high-res image!

MISTER RODGERS!!! I know him! I know him!  Okay, so I never met the man. But I grew up watching him, and feeling like I knew Rodgers and his crew of puppets. (Am I the only one who wanted to be Henrietta Pussycat’s BFF, and who thought Lady Elaine Fairchild was just so elegant?)

If you haven’t seen all the social media buzz from your friends, there’s a Mister Rodgers documentary coming out called, naturally, Won’t You Be My Neighbor? Director Morgan Neville did an incredible job with his documentary of backup singers, 20 Feet from Stardom, so I’m sure he’ll deliver the same high-quality stuff here.

Synopsis!

From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville (20 Feet from Stardom), Won’t You Be My Neighbor? takes an intimate look at America’s favorite neighbor: Mister Fred Rogers. A portrait of a man whom we all think we know, this emotional and moving film takes us beyond the zip-up cardigans and the land of make-believe, and into the heart of a creative genius who inspired generations of children with compassion and limitless imagination.

Won’t You Be My Neighbor? hits select theaters June 8th, 2018. And I can’t wait.

Book News: SFWA “Spacetime” book bundle coming soon!

Posted on April 17, 2018 by Denise

I don’t know about you, but when things start to get covered in pollen, I like to curl up inside with a good book.  (I also like to curl up with a good book when it’s cold out, or when I’m on the beach.  Or on a train.  Or avoiding the rain….)

The SFWA – that’s Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America – feel our Claritin pain.  And they’re ready to help us out by giving us a bundle o’ books. And when I mean bundle, I mean BUNDLE. Great books like Don Sakers’ A Rose from Old Terra, Cygnus Rising by Craig Martelle, and Fluency by Jennifer Foehner Wells.  Basically there’s something for everyone here, and a whole lot of really good stuff.  It’s what you’d expect from the folks that give us the Nebula Awards?

The best part of all?  You get to set the price you want to pay!  That’s right – much like Humble Bundle, it’s all up to you.  So no crying poormouth this time; you want ’em?  You can have ’em!

This bundle will be available from May 9th through May 24th, 2018, so mark your calendars! Read on for the full list of incredible books!
