To All the Boys: Always and Forever

Our favorite iconic Netflix rom-com is coming to an end! With everything going on, I almost forgot that this would be releasing next month. Is it just me or is anyone else surprised that Peter K. has made it this far? Sure, he’s great and all, but isn’t Lara Jean just like 10x better? Regardless, their next (or should we say last) chapter is right around the corner. It’s the typical “will we” or “will we not” do long distance debacle. We’ve really loved growing up with these two and watching them become stars in their own right. So naturally, the weekend that it premieres, we’ll be watching it every day.

Malcolm & Marie

The trailer is out for the highly anticipated film starring Zendaya and John David Washington. As some of you may have read earlier in the summer, this was the film that was shot during the pandemic with a limited cast and crew. Even though the trailer was just released, rumblings about Zendaya being nominated for this performance are already starting. I’m excited for this to be on Netflix. My only hope is that it will be nothing like “Marriage Story.”

The film will be selected theaters, but out on Netflix on February 5th.

Songbird

Wowowow 2020 is already scary enough, is it not? Who asked for this COVID themed movie that is a look into our future? I was a little bit freaked out watching this trailer alone. Earlier this year, I got wind that this would be filmed after Sofia Carson and KJ Apa had signed on for it, but I’m already surprised that it has been completed and with a trailer. I am sincerely hoping that this doesn’t become our reality because this is truly frightening.

Netflix’s “Over the Moon”

I will never get over having those warm and fuzzies from watching a show or a film with an Asian lead. Animated or not, adult me is excited regardless for a younger generation that can grow up seeing leads that look like themselves. Pixar is the reigning champ in producing pieces that tug at our heart strings, but who is to say that Netflix can’t do the same? In their new film out this fall, “Over the Moon” tells the story of a young girl who loses her mother and recalls her mother’s favorite Chinese mythology tale. Yes, we’re ripping this bandaid off already.

The tale tells the story of a moon goddess and years later, Fei Fei (the main character) is out to prove that she exists. Fei Fei, herself, is in STEM and builds a rocket that will launch her all the way to the moon. I grew up being a little bit of a space nut myself, so this film is right up my alley. We can’t wait to see this debut!

The King of Staten Island Trailer

It’s tough to call Pete Davidson someone that you “root for.” In the past few years, Pete’s dating scandals and honest mouth have created quite a stir. Despite that, he will forever be one of my favorite cast members on Saturday Night Live. I’m particularly excited for his latest project. While I haven’t read anything about it apart from watching this trailer, there are pieces that mirror his own life. We’re excited to see what will come from this!

“The Half of It” Trailer

I continue to be extremely impressed with Netflix’s decision to bring more Asian characters to life through film. “The Half of It” is a twist on your typical coming-of-age story. Using her writing abilities to help another classmate write a love letter, Ellie Chu discovers something about herself. When I think about Ellie’s character and what I’ve seen so far, there truly aren’t many characters like her portrayed in film. Sure, there will be some backlash or criticism. However, I think I belong in the camp that will find this portrayal to be incredibly refreshing.

Our List of Upcoming Watches

I’m taking it easy this weekend as I’ve just returned home from my trip and balancing jet lag and the current state of the world! While my company is advising everyone to WFH likely until the end of the month, I have a feeling it will take us in to April. I hope all of you are taking this time to focus on more important matters in your life. Stay connected and keep in touch with your family and friends (virtually, please). Take care of things you’ve been putting off. In a way, we have the gift of time, but we need to use it wisely.

While I was away, there were so many new shows and movies that came out. I want to share some of the trailers that I’m looking forward to here!

Also, I’m way behind on Westworld, but I have many friends who are fans. It just came back last night and if you haven’t started the series, now might be a decent time to do so.

Driveways [Trailer]

It’s a special thing for me to get to share more movie trailers in the last two years featuring Asian leads than ever before. If you’ve seen Watchmen on HBO, you may recognize Hong Chau who portrayed the dynamic Lady Trieu on the series. In “Driveways,” she travels with her young son Cody to clean out the home of her late sister with intent for it to be sold. Shy Cody also manages to form a bond with Korean War vet and neighbor, Del. As the summer continues, the mother and son start to develop a home for themselves in their new setting. Expect “Driveways” to be released this coming spring.

To All The Boys 2: 2nd Trailer

I know what you’re thinking. Is it really necessary to post a second trailer of this film when I’ve already shared the [first?] The answer is yes. And if we’re truly being honest here, this won’t be the last post about this movie leading up to the premiere. You have been warned. In this trailer, we’re seeing a little bit more of John Ambrose and maybe a rivalry between him and PK? Even though there’s still one more film after this one, we know that the filming has wrapped on the series. We’re not ready for this to end!

“Don’t Be A Dick About It” Trailer

In things that made me laugh out loud today… this movie trailer about two brothers. The trailer alone wasn’t long enough for me because I was ready to consume this documentary right off the bat. Kevin and I definitely don’t have a sibling relationship like these two, but I think we’re quite quirky in our own ways. We also somehow manage to irritate each other over the dumbest things, but like my mother says – “you can’t get rid of your brother.”
