MOVIE Morning

Hey everyone, welcome back to another review! Today, I'll be reviewing the newly-released Amazon Christmas action-comedy: Red One, starring The Rock and Chris Evans. I was initially pretty excited for this one because I loved the pitch and I'm just someone who loves Christmas... but those trailers, woof. Since then, I've been a little cold towards this film and now having seen it, it's pretty much...

Hey everyone, another MCU show has now come and gone. Today, I'll be sharing my long-awaited thoughts on Marvel Television's Agatha All Along - a show that, to say the least, I was NOT anticipating. I fell a couple of weeks behind when this show first started, an MCU first for me... which just about shows my interest going into this show. Some people genuinely seemed surprised by how much they rea...

Hey all, I know… I know. My review of Agatha All Along should be out soon but I’m probably the only person you’ll hear from who actually bothered watching Juror #2. So, I thought I’d weigh in and share my thoughts on what was a surpassingly solid ‘90s throwback courtroom drama, with a twist. Enjoy my review of Juror #2 because it will likely be the only review you’ll see from this film. Juror #2:...

Hey everyone, welcome back to another review here on MOVIE Morning. Today, I’ll be discussing the team up of a lifetime: Hugh Grant, the writers of A Quiet Place and A24. Hell, yes! That, the premise and the early buzz got me very curious to go check out Heretic and it was even better that this film was gonna be hitting UK cinemas just a little early. I’m VERY excited to say that Heretic might jus...

Hey everybody, just a couple of weeks ago, the BFI London FIlm Festival was on and it was my first ever film festival experience. That being said, it was pretty tumultuous, in good way. I attended some screenings as part of LFF on Tour but also within London itself while I was there for a few days. There have also been a few films I've seen since the festival ended that were also part of the lineu...

Well, here we are. After 6 years, the Venom trilogy has come to a close... for now. Venom: The Last Dance has now hit theaters worldwide and for a long time, I have been very open that I am a big fan of these films because they're just fun! I've also always been a big Tom Hardy fan and these movies just really let him off the leash. As a huge Spider-Man fan though, I can't exactly say that these f...

The latest lego movie - Piece by Piece - that is for some reason a story about the life of Pharrell Williams has hit theaters in the US and will have a bit of a slow theatrical rollout globally over the next few months.​ I was lucky enough to see the film just a little early thanks to the BFI London FIlm Festival which just wrapped up, with this film being the Closing Night Gala. I have a very sof...

Hey everyone, I was in London recently and got to check out a few upcoming, highly anticipated films as part of the London Film Festival. In today's review, we'll be discussing We Live in Time, the Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh romantic drama that had its limited debut last week and has had a very slow rollout into wider markets. This movie came on my radar as soon as the trailer dropped becau...

Hey everyone, welcome back to another review here. Today, I am going to be reviewing DreamWorks' critically acclaimed film The Wild Robot. This was easily one of my most anticipated movies of the fall season; I thought the trailers were incredible and I also love DreamWorks as an animation studio, even if they've fallen off massively over the last decade... with very few exceptions. This movie was...

Hey everyone, it's time to review one of the most hyped up movies of 2024: Sean Baker's Anora. I think Sean Baker is a very talented filmmaker and ever since Cannes five months ago, Anora has been said by awards pundits to be one of the must-watch films of 2024. Well, they weren't kidding. I'm very curious to see how it catches on with the general audience, being that it is a Palme d'Or winner and...

Hey everyone, Steve McQueen - director of 12 Years a Slave - has a new film coming out in Blitz. This film just had its premiere at the BFI London Film Festival and since I'm in Manchester for university, I was lucky enough to attend one of the LFF on tour screenings that was held in Manchester (on the same day as its world premiere)! So, is Blitz primed to be the major OSCAR player that everyone...

Well, here we.... go! Joker: Folie à Deux - the sequel to the polarizing but smash hit Joker - has now hit theaters. it's not secret at this point that Todd Phillips and his team had no intention of making a sequel to the first film but Academy Awards, including one for Joaquin Phoenix himself, and a billion-dollar box office run started to turn some heads over at Warner Bros. This is why I've alw...

Hey everyone, the latest action-thriller from Netflix - Rebel Ridge - hit the platform just a few days ago and it's garnered up quite a bit of chatter online. I had the pleasure of checking it out just a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised by the results as I've come to express the worst form Netflix thrillers like this. Today, I'll be giving you guys my review of Rebel Ridge and...

At long last, we finally have a director for the upcoming Tom Holland MCU Spider-Man 4! Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director - Destin Daniel Cretton - will be helming the movie which will reportedly head into production in early 2025. This comes just a year after he departed directing Avengers: The Kang Dynasty but it seems like he may have gotten a bit of an upgrade with the highly...

Hey everyone, welcome back to another review here on MOVIE Morning. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the follow-up to the Tim Burton classic 'Beetlejuice', has now hit theaters worldwide. To be honest, I only saw the first Beetlejuice for the first time last week and while I somewhat enjoyed it, it's by no means a formative film for me like for so many of my other fellow film fans. Does the se...

Hey everyone, what was that?! The first official teaser for A Minecraft Movie, the first feature adaptation of the legendary and popular video game, was released by WB a few hours ago and… well, huh? There’s a lot to discuss when it comes to this teaser including how we feel about the live-action/animated hybrid world, the casting, sense of humor, hinted plot and most importantly, what on earth is...

Hey everyone, we have some BREAKING NEWS from the land of the DC Universe, now over at DC Studios with Co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran. As reported earlier today by scooper Nexus Point News, and later corroborated by reliable reporter Jeff Sneider, Josh Brolin has received an offer to star in the DCU series - Lanterns. This show was pitched as a True Detective style Green Lantern show set on E...

Hey everyone, the latest attempt to revive the Terminator franchise - the Netflix anime Terminator Zero - has arrived. It comes from Mattson Tomlin, co-writer of The Batman - Part II, who has plans for future seasons of this show as well. T2 is one of my favorite movies of all-time, probably top 3. Therefore, I will always be interested in what this franchise has to offer, even though it has disap...

Hey everyone, a couple of hours ago, Universal revealed the first look at the upcoming Jurassic World film, now titled Jurassic World Rebirth. This includes the first few still images, a new title (obviously), all the confirmed cast, confirmation of a release date and the first plot details. In this episode, I'll be breaking down all the news about this movie that have been revealed by the maj...

Hey Sonic fans, at long last, the first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has dropped online. I'd be lying if I said I was a huge mega-fan of Sonic, the games or these movies, but I've enjoyed them enough as fun kids movies. For some of you all though, I know how much you love these movies so as a casual fan, I wanted to step in and share my initial reaction to this first trailer for the up...

Hey everyone, we have some more apparent "news" regarding the MCU's Spider-Man 4, starring Tom Holland. It has been a long wait to get an official, major update regarding this highly-anticipated fourth entry, which is also the sequel to one of the biggest movies of all-time - Spider-Man: No Way Home. Some want more Tobey & Andrew while others want a grounded, classic Spider-Man t...

Hey everybody, Inside Out 2 - the biggest box-office film of 2024 so far - arrived on digital platforms for home viewing this past week. Because of its incredible success at the box-office, I thought it would be fun to celebrate its unique medium of telling stories: ANIMATION. I, like all of you, have been watching and loving animated movies since I was VERY young. Finally, after 5 years of doing...

Last week, Deadpool & Wolverine became the latest movie to join the so coveted billion-dollar club. It is the 55th film to make $1 billion dollars at the worldwide box office and the 8th to do so that has been released in the 2020s. With unforeseen circumstances like COVID and the Hollywood strikes of 2023, this decade got off to a bit of a slow start when it came to film earnings. Today, I&#3...

Hello, my fellow Alien fans. Alien: Romulus has now hit theaters! This is easily one of the most hotly anticipated films of the year because of its franchise throwbacks and its very talented horror director, Fede Álvarez. The reactions to this movie have been interesting, particularly surrounding a few very surprising decisions made in the back half of this story and regarding the Alien franchise...

Hey everyone, Alien: Romulus has now been out in theaters for a few days and, surprisingly enough, I actually have a few spoiler moments I want to discuss in more detail in this film. This won’t be a full play-by-play like my spoiler review for Deadpool & Wolverine but rather just touching on a few moments that are worth discussing that couldn’t really be mentioned due to spoilers in my spoiler-fr...
