So busy muttering “oh my god!” as Maverick’s plane emerged from under one of his pilots during the dogfight training that you missed some of the plot? Maybe, like my 10 year old, you had your hands over your eyes during “the kissing bit”? Check out my plot re-cap below.

I’m dead! The new Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One teaser trailer is here

What a title! And what a hashtag it’ll be. (Did film names start getting longer when Twitter doubled its tweet character count, or did Twitter double its tweet character count because film titles were getting longer?

Cop Secret clip & trailer: don’t Messi with Icelandic super cop Bussi

by

The fast-paced comedy stars Auðunn Blöndal as your usual maverick, hard-drinking, no-nonsense, brutal cop in a tight white vest… but he has a secret: he has a crush on hunky fellow policeman Hörđur (Egill Einarsson).

“From dad bod to god bod.” The new trailer just dropped from Mount Olympus itself, so I think we can blame Zeus, played by Russell Crowe (and thank you Zeus for that One Perfect Shot).

H20h no! The Film Club watches Black Water: Abyss 2 stars☆☆☆☆☆

by

All film club write-ups are very spoilery. Also don’t worry if you don’t know the difference between a crocodile and an alligator, you find out two paragraphs in. It’s nearly a year since I’ve written about a film club watch, though Liz and I have continued determinedly viewing a narrow variety of low-budget horrors. And… H20h no!
