Ang Lee
Will Smith
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Clive Owen
Benedict Wong
Today's trailer was for a movie that started playing today in Japan: Gemini Man, starring Will Smith, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Clive Owen, and Benedict Wong. It's set in the near future, when the character played by Clive Owen has cloned the soldier Henry Brogan, and sends the clone to kill Henry. The story is pretty exciting, but the movie has quite negative reviews from professional critics. Part of that is to do with the high frame rate they used to film the movie, which people say looks unnatural. I couldn't tell any difference from the standard format.

Gemini Man, and other matters…
Henry: Will Smith
Danny: Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Clay: Clive Owen
Baron: Benedict Wong
Today we watched the trailer for Gemini Man, a thriller set in the near future starring Will Smith and Clive Owen. Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Benedict Wong also star. After Henry retires, someone comes to kill him. The person is very skilled, and Henry wonders who he is. Danny finds out that the person trying to kill him is his clone! So they try to capture the clone and tell him the truth.
Autumn is a good time for movies. The other two movies playing now that I recommend strongly are John Wick: Parabellum and Yesterday. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, playing at Denkikan, is also really good!

Zombieland, Zombieland: Double Tap, and other matters…
Woody Harrelson
Jesse Eisenberg
Abigail Breslin
Emma Stone
Today we saw the trailers for both Zombieland and Zombieland: Double Tap. Zombieland was a 2009 hit featuring Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Abigail Breslin, and Emma Stone. It was an action/horror comedy in a world where most people have become zombies but the four stars have managed to survive. Now, ten years later, the sequel is coming out!
I also recommend that you go and see Yesterday!

Dead Cold
"Don't worry, Scott, I'm behind you," I said quietly.This detective story is a Level 2 book in the Cambridge English Readers series. It concerns Detective Flick Laine, a Denver detective whose partner, Scott, died recently. There has just been a murder in Pine Crest, a skiing town nearby. Flick has to go and try to solve the crime.
I could see Scott in front of me. It was dark, but I could just see him. Suddenly I heard a loud noise. A gun. Then Scott was down on the dirty floor. His blood was everywhere.
This story is very interesting. In particular, I like the way that it describes Flick's work as well as her emotions.

Today we watched the trailers for Zombieland (the 2009 original) and Zombieland: Double Tap, the sequel that is coming next month. The sequel, like the original, stars Woody Harrelson, Jess Eisenberg, Abigail Breslin, and Emma Stone. The movies are a kind of action/horror comedy. I certainly want to see it on the big screen.
Other movies coming soon or starting today are Maleficent 2, Gemini Man, and Terminator: Dark Fate. It seems that autumn is the best time for big movies, and spring is the best time for smaller ones.

The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society
Lily James: author
Director: Mike Newell (Great Expectations, Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Donnie Brasco)
Today we watched the trailer for The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, starring Lily James and directed by Mike Newell. It's set in the Second World War, in London and on the island of Guernsey. Unlike England, Guernsey was occupied by the German army. The people were very hungry but they entertained themselves with regular meetings where they read books together and also made pie from potato peel. Lily James plays an author in London who hears about the society and visits Guernsey to find out more about it. But what happens to her fiancé back in London?
Director Mike Newell is well-known for movies like Donnie Brasco and Four Weddings and a Funeral. Why not check out his latest movie?
