https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=104&v=x8DKg_fsacM Think of it as Lothlórien or Rivendell but with two-car garages and cul-de-sacs. In its latest movie -- which is an original, not a sequel -- Pixar has blended Middle Earth with our earth for the new fantasy adventure Onward. The film's first teaser trailer reveals only the basic premise, which is also nutshelled [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxPeVTIanzs&feature=youtu.be Terminators 3, 4, and 5 have probably left you weary (that is, if you've even seen them). James Cameron gets that. That's why he returned to produce the new entry, Terminator: Dark Fate. As producer, he helped to steer it creatively alongside diretor Tim Miller (Deadpool). Together, they've ignored the last three films to [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCyEX6u-Yhs Go with Sarah Connor if you want to live. The reluctant warrior to save humanity is finally back (played by Linda Hamilton, which is vital) in Terminator: Dark Fate. It's the sixth movie in the franchise but it will ignore the third, fourth, and fifth films entirely, serving as a direct sequel to Terminator [...]
** out of **** Rated PG (for some action, peril, and mysticism) Released: May 24, 2019 Runtime: 128 minutes Directed by: Guy Ritchie Starring: Mena Massoud, Naomi Scott, Will Smith, Marwan Kenzari, Nasim Pedrad, Navid Negahban, Billy Magnussen, Numan Acar This is a corporate-approved abomination. It’d be a disservice to the original animated Aladdin to [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUAUvx1_WDE The circle is now complete: Vanity Fair has published the first print scoop for a new Star Wars movie for the last and final time. (Well, for the Skywalker saga anyway). Per tradition, the iconic style-and-culture magazine was given exclusive first look access (with its writers and favorite photographer Annie Leibovitz) to the on-set shoot [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl9JS8-gnWQ A rescue mission to save a fellow toy that gets stranded away from the group. We've seen variations this Toy Story three times before, and we're in for it again in the last trailer for Toy Story 4. This fourth adventure may adhere strictly to the same proven formula, for better or worse, but [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELeMaP8EPAA A fanboy of New American Cinema from the 1970s (and its most distinct modern torch-bearer), Quentin Tarantino's 9th film is about to tackle the turn from Old Hollywood to the New. In this new trailer, released on the same day as the film's world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival (first reactions forthcoming) as [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=tu3mP0c51hE If there's been anything even more anticpated by Anglophiles than the birth of the Harry/Meghan Sussex baby Archie, it's this. It's been four years since Downton Abbey ended its wildly popular six-season run, and the affection for it hasn't waned. Now, at long last, Abbey fans are about to get what has been long [...]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=5MwW1NAsnR8 The live-action Disney remakes keep coming, and now we're even into sequel territory with some. Alice Through The Looking Glass was a dud, but the Mouse House is hoping for better with Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, the sequel to the Angelina Jolie-led Maleficent, an effort thatproved to be a popular hit if not full-blown [...]
