Upcoming Releases, March 2025


 As we turn the corner into March, we're leaving the 2024 Award Season behind. That means a combination of new releases, including some anticipated tent poles to help launch the Spring. Let's dive in.

Thursday, March 6:
Picture This (Prime Video): This is a smaller romance film, but it stars Simone Ashley and Hero Fiennes Tiffin. It will appeal to those looking for a light streaming film.

Friday, March 7:
Mickey 17 (Theaters): This film has been oft delayed, but it's the anticipated follow up from Bong Joon Ho, starring Robert Pattinson. I'm curious to see it but not sure what to expect.

Rule Breakers (Theaters): This is a smaller film about your women seeking to rise above obstacles to realize their potential. This looks like a feel-good theater option.

Night of the Zoopocalypse (Theaters): We haven't had much in the way of animated films this year, so far. But this one presents a big screen outing for the family set!

Thursday, March 13:
Parenting (Max): This is a meet-the-parents type comedy that turns into a ghost comedy. It features Brian Cox and Lisa Kudrow. This is a gem of a streaming option!

Friday, March 14:
Black Bag (Theaters): The latest from Steven Soderberg is a spy thriller starring Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender. The trailer is cool and I think this looks like potentially one of the best films of the month.

Novocaine (Theaters): Jack Quaid takes the lead as a man who can't feel pain. This looks like it will have fun action and maybe some comedy. I'm intrigued.

Looney Tunes: The Day the Earth Blew Up (Theaters): The latest from the world of Looney Tunes, this was finished and part of the 2024 award season. It's been delayed a few times but now drops to hopefully draw in a new generation of fans.

The Electric State (Netflix): This is a futuristic tale starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt. It's got some potential but it is still somewhat mysterious. Still, I'm intrigued.

Thursday, March 20:
Duplicity (Prime Video): This is the latest thriller from Tyler Perry. His recent movies have been a mixed bag, but it's nice to get some more consistent streaming options.

O'Dessa (Hulu): A future set movie that finds Sadie Sink on a quest to recover a cherished family heirloom. This looks like it could be a fun streaming film.

Friday, March 21:
Snow White (Theaters): Here we get the biggest event of March, the live-action re-make of a Disney classic. I'm intrigued by the idea, but the trailer is a mixed bag. I'm skeptical.

Magazine Dreams (Theaters): This film was at Sundance in 2023 and had a long journey to mass audiences thanks to the controversy surrounding Jonathan Majors. It's a good performance but a bit of a grim film.

The Alto Knights (Theaters): This film from Barry Levinson features Robert De Niro in a dual role. It's a crime tale that had a good trailer. I'm intrigued.

Thursday, March 27:
Holland (Prime Video): Wrapping up a big month for Prime Video, we get a new thriller starring Nicole Kidman and Gael Garcia Bernal. This looks interesting.

Friday, March 28:
The Woman in the Yard (Theaters): The latest from Jaume Collet-Serra features Danielle Deadwyler. This looks sufficiently creepy, adding to the good start for 2025 horror films.

Working Man (Theaters): This is another action film starring Jason Statham. This has a decent set up and should be good for those who are looking for a little bit of action.

The Life List (Netflix): This is a new film about a woman who is prompted to really live after her mother passes away. It's an interesting concept and should make for a fun streaming option.

Broncos Draft Targets

Image
  The NFL Draft is just a few days away. On April 25, the Denver Broncos will head into the draft in the midst of something of a rebuild. In the draft, the Broncos have the No. 12 pick in Round 1, then have a Third Round Pick, Fourth Round Pick, three Fifth Round Picks, a Sixth Round Pick, and a Seventh Round Pick. So, what might they be targeting? Let's dive in and look at possible positions. Quarterback : The team clearly needs a long-term quarterback. Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci are there but the team could certainly use someone else. Could they move up for Drake Maye or J.J. McCarthy? Yes, they could. Will the take Bo Nix at 12? It's possible. Or will the Broncos wait until next off-season to make a move? Anything is in play for the Broncos in 2024, but quarterback is surely a need. Tight End: The team brought back Adam Trautman and still has Greg Dulcich, but it's still a need. Dulcich hasn't been able to get on the field and Trautman hasn't been great. Co...

Favorite Westerns, No. 37

Image
  Do you like a good Western? It's a classic genre in film and this year I've decided to look at some of my favorite Westerns. So, join me each Friday as I count down my favorite Westerns from No. 50 to No. 1.  Peter Gordon: When my father passed, I wanted nothing more than my mother's happiness. For what kind of man would I be if I did not help my mother? If I did not save her? The Power of the Dog (2021) Starring : Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Jesse Plemons Director: Jane Campion About : Another modern entry, and another unconventional choice for this list, perhaps. This is a quiet and pensive story, but it certainly captures the brutality and struggle of the western genre. Campion does a beautiful job of laying out this story and world. The cinematography here works well to build the story and the vibe of the production. That's one of the things that stuck out to me. In addition, the film features some great performances from all four ...

  The first weekend in April brought plenty of interesting options on both the big and small screen. Below is a look at the new movies I saw this week. You can keep up with everything I’m watching by following me on Letterboxd @knighthawk7734. The First Omen (Theaters) Starring : Nell Tiger Free, Ralph Ineson, Sonia Braga, and Bill Nighy Synopsis : It’s a big time for unwanted demonic pregnancies on screen. After the Neon film Immaculate last week, we got a prequel to The Omen this week. We pick up the action in 1971, as a young girl, Margaret (Free), arrives in Rome to work at an orphanage and take her vows. She doesn’t speak much Italian, but she’s excited to be in service after being a ward of the church all her life. But she finds things at the orphanage different than she expected, connecting with an outcast ward who reminds her of her own journey. And it doesn’t take long to see how this film connects to the original Omen, released in 1976. This is a slow build. If we hadn’t ...
