THE BIRTHDAY CAKE TRAILER
WITH EWAN MCGREGOR
It is a very slow weekend in news business, so I will entertain you with posters and trailers for two new dramas, beginning with THE BIRTHDAY
CAKE which has Ewan McGregor, Val Kilmer, Penn Badgley and Shiloh Fernandez in the cast. The film, which is currently out in USA, UK and Russia, begins with the 10th anniversary of Giovanni's (Shiloh Fernandez) father's death, Giovanni reluctantly accepts the task of carrying on the family tradition of bringing a cake to the home of his Uncle Angelo, Brooklyn's last Mafia boss, for a celebration. Just two hours into the night, Giovanni's life is forever changed and he's forced to grow up after witnessing murder, violence, chaos and the truth about what happened to his father. Check out the trailer below:

JUNIPER TRAILER & POSTER
WITH CHARLOTTE RAMPLING
Meanwhile, a new poster has been released for Charlotte Rampling's drama JUNIPER for which the spy has shown you a trailer
a few months ago. The film, both written and directed by Matthew Saville (he previously directed fantasy shows Spartacus and Legend of the Seeker Down Under), only has a New Zealand release date in late August, but it did visit a number of movie festivals. Here is the plot of the film which also stars Marton Csokas, George Ferrier and Carlos Muller: When a self destructive teenager is suspended from school and asked to look after his feisty alcoholic grandmother as a punishment, the crazy time they spend together turns his life around. Check out the first trailer below:

Neve liked Ewan McGregor (or Val Kilmer, for that matter) but... 😏
ReplyDeletePenn Badgley, on the other hand! Watched him in a couple TV shows & movies, he wasn't all that bad, likable! 🖤 Most recently, seen him in that Netflix show YOU 👀
And I also like Charlotte Rampling 🙂 Think her movie is more watchable for me.
*Never
DeleteHow come you never liked Ewan, he is so cute and nice, I fell in love with him after Moulin Rouge, what an amazing performance that was! He is good in Halston currently, although the show presents gays through too many cliches for my taste.
DeleteYeah, I didn't watch either one of those. First one, I wasn't really made for me, while the other one... Well, I guess the same. 😜
DeleteBlasphemy! Mouling Rouge is my all time fave! How can you not like a beautifully performed movie in which they sing all of the greatest pop hits in cabaret mode?
DeleteThe late James Gandolfini would be great for the Birthday Cake :-))
ReplyDeleteHe did like to glorify mobsters in his work.
DeleteI watched a little of Birthday Cake, but was so tired from watching other stuff throughout the day, I have to go back to it.(lol) Hugs and Happy 4th! RO
ReplyDeleteThanks, but I'm not American LOL
DeleteI’ll take some cake, but hold the crime, thanks.
ReplyDeleteI do ever so hate mafia movies.
DeleteI don't mind them, but they aren't my favorite cuppa tea. I actually loved The Sopranos, but this one was a nope for me, too, just like Jax said. Leo can stay gone for all I care LOL.
DeleteI don't like it when they glorify mafia. Glorifying mafia and criminals is very trendy in my country as we are like a European Colombia and I cannot stand it.Our biggest music star is a hoe who was married to a war criminal and lives in the villa he built from monies stolen from war victims. And nobody cares, she even gave her grandson his name and nobody said anything.
DeleteWe glorify it way too much too, then bitch and complain when we have cartels moving into our country and crime everywhere.
DeleteMy grandpa was a semi-professional boxer, but he was also a gun runner for the mafia and would rob casinos. While I don't condone the gun running, I'm not overly mad about the casinos since they legally rob people blind daily.
Nobody is saying anything about your hoe singer because she probably paid off the higher ups to look the other way and not make a stink about where her monies came from.
DeleteThat hoe has her best friend working as the editor of the biggest tabloid in our country, she often uses it to attack her enemies secretly through it. A hoe indeed. I was disgusted when Novak Djokovic hired her to sing at his celebration. Cannot stand him anymore either.
DeleteI suppose it pays to be corrupt, as most in high positions usually are.
DeleteYes it does especially as we don't have a government but an organized crime group in power. LITERALLY!
DeleteLike you, I hate mafia movies. I did watch the trailer with an open mind, but nope. I don’t even care if they find Leo.. LOL
ReplyDeleteThey can all rot in mafia hell.
