Our title doesn’t lie. In this feature each month, we round up the five best trailers from the past few weeks, so you don’t have to. The trailers could quite simply be for any movie, all we know is, it’s certainly five of the best! Buckle up, clear your diary… this is the best 10 minutes of your month… CAPONE Director: Josh Trank Writer: Josh Trank Stars: Tom Hardy, Linda Cardellini, Matt Dillon Plot: The 47-year old Al Capone, after 10 years in prison, starts suffering from dementia and comes to be haunted by his violent past. Our verdict: This is our trailer of the month. We cannot wait for this highly-anticipated biopic of the most famous criminal ever. Check it out. HOW TO BUILD A GIRL Director: Coky Giedroyc Writers: Caitlin Moran Stars: Emma Thompson, Lucy Punch, Beanie Feldstein Plot: The novel charts the journey of teenager Johanna Morrigan (Beanie Feldstein), who reinvents herself as Dolly Wilde: fast-talking, lady sex-adventurer, moves to London, and gets a job as music critic in the hope of saving her poverty-stricken family in Wolverhampton. Our verdict: A favourite at the Glasgow Film Festival in 2020, this movie has emotion and comedic relief. It’s a great all-round movie. HIGHTOWN Creator: Rebecca Perry Cutter Stars: Atkins Estimond, Monica Raymund, Shane Harper Plot: A federal Fishery Service Agent finds herself at the center of Cape Cod's gruesome heroin epidemic after discovering a body in the bay. Our verdict: A thrilling TV show that will certainly keep you guessing at what’s really going on. Catch it on release in May. VALLEY GIRL Director: Rachel Lee Goldenberg Writers: Amy Talkington (screenplay by), Andrew Lane (story by) Stars: Peyton List, Mae Whitman, Chloe Bennet Plot: Set to a new wave '80s soundtrack, a pair of young lovers from different backgrounds defy their parents and friends to stay together. A musical adaptation of the 1983 film. Our verdict: An 80s soundtrack, cheesefest of a script and a Logan Paul supporting role – this movie really does have everything. ARTEMIS FOWL Director: Kenneth Branagh Writers: Eoin Colfer (based on the novel by), Michael Goldenberg (screenplay) Stars: Colin Farrell, Judi Dench, Josh Gad Plot: Artemis Fowl, a young criminal prodigy, hunts down a secret society of fairies to find his missing father. Our verdict: A big budget Walt Disney live-action movie from Kenneth Branagh means one thing. A famous cast, a decent little narrative and a family hoot all in one. |
