The Boss Baby 2: Family Business – Official Trailer (Universal Pictures)

 


In the sequel to DreamWorks Animation’s Oscar®-nominated blockbuster comedy, the Templeton brothers—Tim (James Marsden, X-Men franchise) and his Boss Baby little bro Ted (Alec Baldwin)—have become adults and drifted away from each other. Tim is now a married stay-at-home dad. Ted is a hedge fund CEO. But a new boss baby with a cutting-edge approach and a can-do attitude is about to bring them together again … and inspire a new family business. 

Tim and his wife, Carol (Eva Longoria), the breadwinner of the family, live in the suburbs with their super-smart 7-year-old daughter Tabitha (Ariana Greenblatt, Avengers: Infinity War), and adorable new infant Tina (Amy Sedaris, Netflix’s BoJack Horseman). Tabitha, who’s at the top her class at the prestigious Acorn Center for Advanced Childhood, idolizes her Uncle Ted and wants to become like him, but Tim, still in touch with his overactive youthful imagination, worries that she’s working too hard and is missing out on a normal childhood. 

When baby Tina reveals that she’s—ta-da!—a top secret agent for BabyCorp on a mission to uncover the dark secrets behind Tabitha’s school and its mysterious founder, Dr. Edwin Armstrong (Jeff Goldblum), it will reunite the Templeton brothers in unexpected ways, lead them to re-evaluate the meaning of family and discover what truly matters. 

Lisa Kudrow and Jimmy Kimmel also reprise their roles as Ted and Tim’s parents.

Wild Mountain Thyme - Official Trailer and Poster

Written and Directed by
John Patrick Shanley

Starring
Emily Blunt, Jamie Dornan, Jon Hamm and Christopher Walken


An epic love story with soaring lyricism, WILD MOUNTAIN THYME is set against the breath-taking landscapes of rural Ireland, where everyone is half mad with loneliness or love, and the weather is terrible.

Anthony and Rosemary are star-crossed lovers, whose families are caught up in a feud over a hotly contested patch of land that separates their two farms.

Anthony (Dornan) always seems to be out in the fields working, worn down by his father's constant belittling. But what really stings is his father's threat to bequeath the family farm to his American cousin Adam. Rosemary (Blunt) at first seems to hold a grudge for having been shamed by Anthony in childhood, but the sparks between them would keep a bonfire blazing through the night. Her mother Aoife strives to unite the families before it is too late.

Just when we think Anthony will pluck up the courage to face up to his repressed feelings, cousin Adam (Hamm) steps in with a plan to sweep Rosemary off her feet, romancing her over a magical 24 hours in Manhattan. But true love is never defeated!

WILD MOUNTAIN THYME coming soon

REVIEW: Finding Steve McQueen - Heist Comedy Starring Travis Fimmel, William Fichtner, Rachael Taylor & Forest Whitaker

Review by Jon Donnis
Finding Steve McQueen is a Heist comedy starring Travis Fimmel, Travis plays the character of Harry Barber, as he tells his girlfriend Molly (Rachael Taylor) the story of how years earlier he was involved in a heist to steal $30m from President Richard Nixon.

As crazy as this sounds, this is actually based on a true story.

Also featuring Forest Whitaker as the detective investigating the case, you swap between the present and the past as the story is told.

This is a fun film, a comedy, a heist movie, but ultimately a love story, whereby telling the truth becomes the ultimate price you pay.

Although a relatively short film with a run time of about 90 minutes, you never feel like it should be any longer or any shorter, it really its it bang on the nail.
A special mention needs to be made about the soundtrack, this really stood out to me, and I almost found myself singing along to some of the classic songs, everything from T-Rex to Marvin Gaye.

A fun film that I highly recommend. - 8/10
