You can tell awards season is approaching when the trailers at the cinema include hard-hitting dramas by seasoned filmmakers with award-winning actors. This isn't a bad thing, just an observation because I've seen the trailer for The Post twice and if it is anywhere as good and enjoyable as Bridge of Spies, the previous Spielberg-Hanks collaboration, it will be well worth watching.
Similarly, this adaptation of Journey's End (a play I studied for GCSE English and have seen on the stage) looks to be a powerful film with many respected actors doing what they do best:
These two look very different as they look likely to be much more fun and 'audience friendly', though Downsizing could be as thought-provoking as either of the two mentioned above. My main hope for Jumanji is that it isn't a huge disappointment which sours my happy memories of the original.
