See The Trailer And Poster For SAN ANDREAS To See If It’ll Be Dwayne Johnson’s First Great Movie

Everyone can admit that Dwayne Johnson has a great screen presence. They can also admit that he’s never made a great movie. I don’t think that’s going to change with San Andreas, but it might be an enjoyable enough disaster flick. Having said [...]

Move Over Benedict Cumberbatch – There’s A New MR HOLMES On Baker Street

Movies In Focus is a big fan of classical interpretations of Sherlock Holmes. Forget the Benedict Cumberbatch series or Johnny Lee Miller’s Elementary, I’ve always been onboard with Jeremy Brett’s Holmes from the ‘80s and ‘90s. That’s [...]

Trailer: Pierce Brosnan And Owen Wilson Are Caught In A Coup In NO ESCAPE

This trailer for No Escape (formally The Coup) implies it’s a gritty, adult-tinged thriller (which is better than people running around in spandex for 90 minutes). Owen Wilson is trying something different (few remember him being a serious actor [...]

The CINDERELLA Question With A New Clip

I know what you’re thinking – ‘why does Movies In Focus keep paying attention to Disney’s Cinderella?’ There’s only one reason – it’s directed by Kenneth Branagh. I’m hoping Branagh manages to bring something special to [...]

Say ALOHA To The Teaser For Cameron Crowe’s Latest Film

Cameron Crowe gets a lifetime pass from Movies In Focus for an impressive run of great movies. Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous and Vanilla Sky wipe out the memory of the terrible Elizabethtown and the lacklustre We Bought A Zoo. Crowe’s Aloha could [...]

See The New Trailer For FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD Starring Carey Mulligan

Director Thomas Vinterberg’s Far From The Madding Crowd looks like perfect counter-programming against the big action spectacles this summer. It would seem that this adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s classic tale has everything you’d want from a [...]

Trailer: Gothic Horror CRIMSON PEAK Could Be Guillermo del Toro’s Biggest Hit Yet

Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak looks like the perfect meshing of his low budget horror and his big budget creature sensibilities. This stunning looking gothic horror from Legendary Pictures could be del Toro’s biggest box office hit yet. [...]

Samuel L. Jackson’s BIG GAME: Air Force One For The Obama Administration

Some movies sell themselves on the concept alone. Big Game is one of those films. Samuel L. Jackson stars as the President of the United States who crash-lands into a Finnish forest where he meets a young boy called Oskari (Onni Tommila) who is out [...]

Trailer For The Unnecessary HITMAN: AGENT 47

I never saw the first Hitman. That was partly because I never played the video game it was based on and partly because it didn’t look very good. I get the feeling I won’t be seeing Hitman: Agent 47 either. This appears to be generic action fare [...]

Michael Douglas Hunts Jeremy Irvine In BEYOND THE REACH

Michael Douglas is one of the few A-list stars to have a blemish-free filmography. He consistently delivers quality films and even his lesser efforts are worth your time. Going by this trailer, Beyond The Reach looks to continue this trend. Douglas [...]

Trailer For Ryan Gosling’s Directorial Debut LOST RIVER

Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut, Lost River had a ‘mixed response’ when it opened at the Cannes Film Festival last year. Many of those who criticised the film said that it was a bit too much like Nicolas Winding Refn’s polarizing [...]

You Know Nothing Jon Snow: Kit Harrington In New Trailer And Posters for SPOOKS: THE GREATER GOOD

I’ve never watched the BBC series Spooks and I get the feeling that I won’t need to in order to enjoy this bigscreen spin-off starring Game of Thrones’ Kit Harrington, Peter Firth and Jennifer Ehle. It looks like it does the espionage [...]

TERMINATOR GENISYS: Big Game Spot And New Schwarzenegger Image

Here’s the Super Bowl TV spot for Terminator Genisys, the latest entry in the Terminator franchise. I think this might just be the biggest movie surprise of 2015. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clarke, Emilia Clarke, Jai Courtney star in the Alan [...]

Is The First Official Trailer For FANTASTIC FOUR Fantastic?

The Fantastic Four haven’t had much luck on a cinematic level. The quartet first made it to the screen in a 1994 film from Roger Corman that was only made as a sneaky way of retaining the rights to the characters (it was never released). 20th [...]

Sean Penn Has Taken The Opportunity To Follow Liam Neeson’s Footsteps With THE GUNMAN

You really can’t blame Sean Penn for wanting some of that sweet middle-age action cash that Liam Neeson is hogging. After all, Penn, like Neeson, is an acclaimed actor who needs to score a decent paycheque to pay the bills. His chance has come in [...]
