Last June, “Hearts Beat Loud” released US theaters to glowing reviews and very little box office, which is really a shame. This is one of the few films from the last years which sucks you in within minutes with its pace, great beat and full heart. It’s a star-is-born performance from Kiersey Clemons – and the same can be said about Nick Offerman in his first starring role in a feature film (at least to my knowledge). They’re a wonderful team and supported by charming supporting turns from Ted Danson, Blythe Danner and Toni Collette – who cannot be separated from a karaoke machine, it seems :-) “Hearts Beat Loud” has been released on DVD and Blu-Ray in September. If you’re looking for a wonderful film that warms your heart, this one is for you! Screencaptures from the Blu-Ray have been added to the photo gallery.

“Birthmarked” has been one of Toni’s more recent films that have been quietly released on demand without any big exposure or recognition (see “Please Stand By” and “The Yellow Birds”, and we’re only talking 2018). Its biggest retailer is Netflix, which is not bad at all – and it’s certainly not a bad film. From its outlook, I was expecting something like “Jesus Henry Christ”, a comedy that Toni did some ten years ago, and which wasn’t particularly entertaining, but “Birthmarked” has the heart at its right place. It has some fine performances by Matthew Goode, Michael Smiley and Fionnula Flanagan – it has the right (not very surprising, but fitting) twist. I found it enjoyable. Over 1.000 screencaptures have been added to the photo gallery. Make sure to see the film if you can.

The term “first look” can be taken word by word here, since it’s really just a couple of blink-and-you-miss-it’s of Toni Collette, but how exciting to see “Wanderlust” among the many high profile productions by the BBC to be released this Fall. The series will simultaneously premiere on Netflix, a definite release date has not been announced yet. Check it out below.

A24 has started the promotional tour for “Hereditary”, which will be in full swing by the end of the week. After a press junket in Los Angeles last week, from which video interviews are now being released here and there as we speak, Toni will be in London to attend the British Sundance Film Festival to talk about the film and will also be a guest on Friday’s “The Graham Norton Show”. Quite a few reviews are being released already for the film’s June 15 release, but this time I’ve decided to not read anything and see the film without any spoilers. The first batch of press junket interviews have been added to the video archive, pictures from the event can be found in the photo gallery and below is IMDb’s chat with Toni and co-star Alex Wolff. Enjoy and check back for more updates this week.

Ahead of its arrival on DirecTV in just weeks, Saban Films has released a new trailer and batch of images for director Alexandre Moors’ upcoming Iraq War drama The Yellow Birds which stars Jennifer Aniston, Alden Ehrenreich, Tye Sheridan, Toni Collette, Jason Patric, and Jack Huston. Its official synopsis reads: “Against the explosive backdrop of the Iraq War, young soldiers Brandon Bartle (Alden Ehrenreich) and Daniel Murphy (Tye Sheridan) forge a deep bond of friendship. When tragedy strikes the platoon, one soldier must return home to face the hard truth behind the incident, and help a grieving mother (Jennifer Aniston) find peace. With a compelling mix of battle action and poignant drama, The Yellow Birds is an unforgettable movie whose power resonates long after the final frame.” You can watch the trailer below. Screencaptures and production stills have been added to the photo gallery. The Yellow Birds arrives on direcTV on May 17th and is set for a theatrical release on June 15th.

A24 really knows how to stir up our excitement for Toni Collette’s turn in the upcoming “Hereditary”. After a scary first trailer and an even scarier second one, they have now launched an official promo entitled “Toni Collette Terrifies” – and boy, she does! Can’t wait for the film’s June 8 release. Watch it below.
