Trailer #2 for 'Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere' Biopic Movie

"Songwriting's a funny thing... it's about searching for something, something that's gonna give you life a little bit of meaning." 🎸 20th Century Studios has unveiled the second trailer for the movie Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, a look back at the early days of rock superstar Bruce Springsteen in the 1980s. This highly anticipated rock 'n roll musical biopic celebration will hit theaters nationwide starting in October. It just premiered at the 2025 Telluride Film Festival to mostly positive reviews so far. Inspired by the book of the same name, it follows Bruce Springsteen's journey in creating and recording his 1982 album "Nebraska" in his Jersey bedroom, which emerged just as he was recording "Born in the USA" with the E Street Band. The film stars Jeremy Allen White as "The Boss", Mr. Springsteen, and is written & directed by Scott Cooper. Also with Jeremy Strong as Springsteen's long-time confidant & manager, Jon Landau; Paul Walter Hauser as guitar tech Mike Batlan; Stephen Graham as Bruce's father, Doug; Odessa Young as his love interest, Faye; Gaby Hoffman as Springsteen's mom, Adele; Marc Maron as Chuck Plotkin; and David Krumholtz as record exec Al Teller. He's not going to look & sound exactly like the real Bruce. I think the quote at the end sums it up nicely: "Don't need to be perfect... I just want it to feel right." // Continue Reading ›

"I understand the need to find yourself, find your family... I simply said: Frances, this is your grandpa, Jim. But he thought grandpa sounded too old so he gave himself a new name: Jimpa." Kismet down in Australia has unveiled the first official trailer for a lovely film about family called Jimpa, which premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.

Jimpa will have its Australian premiere as the Opening Night film at this year's Adelaide Film Festival in October.

Review: Francis Lawrence's 'The Long Walk' is an Emotional Wallop

"Walk until there's only one of you left..." This unexpected end of summer surprise is one of the best of the year. The Long Walk is one of three new Stephen King adaptations this year – as well as The Life of Chuck and The Monkey. It's based on one of the early novels by King published back in 1979 (under his pseudonym Richard Bachman). The Long Walk features a dystopian American future + a yearly government game a lot like The Hunger Games; though let's be honest, it's more than likely The Hunger Games borrowed from this story, considering The Long Walk was published a full 29 years before any of those books. And they really pulled this off. This movie got me good... It's even more emotionally impactful and thrilling as a depiction of fascist dystopian hell than so many other stories trying the same. It shook me up proper. Yep we're heading towards exactly what is depicted - it's a zeitgeist concept. Not only is the filmmaking top notch, it's riveting and so unsettling to watch, but the performances are what matter the most and they're all excellent in here. // Continue Reading ›

Illumination Announces 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie' Arriving 2026

The Brothers are back! Universal Pictures + Illumination have just announced the official title for the next Super Mario Bros movie animated sequel - it will be called The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and arrives in theaters April 2026 around the world. This follow-up sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie from 2023 is a continuation of this story and these characters. But it sounds like they're mixing things up just like the original video games. The first NES game was called Super Mario Bros. (1986) with two sequels – it wasn't until 2007 that Nintendo released a game called Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie features the same co-directors from the first film back again. The voice actors include Chris Pratt as Mario again, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, and Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek. With more characters to be revealed before the release next year. Hopefully this turns out even better than the other movie! Crossing my fingers. // Continue Reading ›

Review: Romain Gavras Goes All-Out with His 'Sacrifice' Eco Thriller

Screening at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival. What does it take to really change the world? And who must make a sacrifice if that is ultimately what it takes? These are the foundational questions at the core of this bonkers new eco-thriller film titled Sacrifice, a world premiere at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival playing as a Special Presentation. By the time I watched the film and started writing this review, it has already been lambasted and torn apart by many critics at the festival, some even calling it one of the worst films at TIFF. I couldn't disagree more. I can say it's certainly not the best film of TIFF 2025, as it is a bit crass & obnoxious, though that's on purpose. Yes there are tons of eco-thrillers being made these days, tons of new films about climate change and saving the planet and caring for nature, though few of them are actually making a real difference (unfortunately). What makes Sacrifice unique is it fully leans into the fantastical side of its story, a totally made-up, unrealistic tale of rebellion that is somehow still engaging and entertaining – even if it is ridiculous. But this is a refreshingly different vibe compared to all the more depressing, realistic eco cinema. // Continue Reading ›
