We’re only a few weeks away from the start of the highly anticipated Disney+ limited series “Obi-Wan Kenobi”. I’ve been a fan of Star Wars streaming series we’ve gotten so far (“The Mandalorian”, “The Book of Boba Fett”, “The Bad Batch”) and I’m really excited for the shows that are on the horizon (“Ahsoka”, “Andor”, “Lando”). But few have me more as pumped than “Obi-Wan Kenobi”. Ewan McGregor returns as one of the franchise’s most beloved characters.

As part of their May 4th (aka Star Wars Day) celebration, Star Wars has released a new poster for the upcoming Obi-Wan series. And let’s just say it revs up my excitement even more. Everything is coming together for something pretty special for Star Wars Fans.

So what do you think of the new poster?

“Obi-Wan Kenobi” premieres May 27th exclusively on Disney +.

The first trailer has finally dropped for the upcoming period thriller “Don’t Worry Darling”. The movie has people interested for a number of reasons. It’s the sophomore directing effort for Olivia Wilde whose first film “Booksmart” was a bland copy-and-paste teen comedy that somehow managed much acclaim. But what has me most excited is the compelling cast that features Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Gemma Chan, Chris Pine, KiKi Layne, Nick Kroll, and Wilde herself.

The story surrounds a 1950s housewife (Pugh) who discovers that the seemingly idyllic neighborhood and the husband she adores (Styles) are hiding a deep dark secret. The trailer offers plenty of cool images and a keen sense of style. At the same time it looks a bit scattered, as if it’s trying to be a lot of things all at once. How will it turn out? We’ll see in a few months.

“Don’t Worry Darling” hits theaters September 23rd. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

I may not be familiar with the Paul Gallico best-selling novel it’s based on, but I love nearly everything about the first trailer for the upcoming film “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris”. Directed by Anthony Fabian, this delightfully whimsical period drama feels plucked right out of the 1950s both in terms of setting and style. And casting the always wonderful Lesley Manville as your lead is icing on the proverbial cake.

Manville plays the titular Mrs. Harris, a widowed cleaning lady from London whose dream of owning her own Christian Dior gown takes her to the City of Lights for a truly life-changing adventure. And if Manville’s casting wasn’t exciting enough, the movie also features Isabelle Huppert, Jason Isaacs, and Lambert Wilson among others. I have no idea how it will turn out, but I love that movies like this are still being made. Now, hopefully it finds an audience.

“Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris” opens in theaters July 15th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

A few months ago we were given the teaser for the upcoming Blumhouse produced horror thriller “The Black Phone”. Yesterday Universal Pictures gave us another look at the film via its official trailer, and lets just say this thing hits all the right notes. The film is directed by Scott Derrickson and co-written by Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill, the duo behind “Sinister” and “Doctor Strange”.

“The Black Phone” immediately grabbed my attention with its star, Ethan Hawke. He plays a truly creepy presence – a serial killer who begins swiping children in a small Colorado town. Set in 1978, the film has an intriguing period style, and the story concept itself breeds a particular sense of unsettling horror. But as the trailer shows, it’s Hawke who makes it utterly terrifying. And this is just a small taste. I can’t wait to see how far they go with this.

“The Black Phone” hits theaters June 24th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

Easily one of the most anticipated movies of the year and one of the most sure-thing box office successes of 2022 is the upcoming MCU installment “Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness”. While I admit that my fascination with the Marvel Cinematic Universe has waned a bit, this is one that I’ve been really excited about, mainly because of director Sam Raimi. But there’s also a lot of mystery surrounding what all we may see in this wild-looking adventure. To entice us even more, a new poster has popped up and I gotta say I love it. What say you?

DIRECTOR – Sam Raimi

WRITER – Michael Waldron

STARRING – Benedict Cumberbatch, Elizabeth Olsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong, Rachel McAdams, Michael Stuhlbarg, Xochitl Gomez

RELEASE – May 6, 2022

There’s a lot of pain, regret, and hard feelings simmering throughout the new trailer for “Montana Story”, an upcoming family drama from the writing/directing duo of Scott McGehee and David Siegel. The film was shot over six weeks in late 2020 in beautiful Paradise Valley, Montana under strict COVID-19 restrictions. Now Bleeker Street is bringing it to theaters and the first trailer has me excited.

I’m a big fan of Haley Lu Richardson. Here she and Owen Teague play estranged siblings forced to come back together at their family homeplace in Montana to care for their dying father. While there, old wounds from the past inevitably resurface as brother and sister try handling the affairs of their father while finally reckoning with the ugliness of their family history. Visually, the movie looks exquisite and there’s plenty of family tension there for a good drama. And I’m always up for Richardson digging into new roles. I’m looking forward to this one.

“Montana Story” lands in theaters May 13th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.
