The Nice Guys – Official Red Band & Final Trailer

I think I want to see this movie. While the The Nice Guys looks like a typical Shane Black movie–The Last Boy Scout, The Long Kiss Goodnight–that’s not necessarily a bad thing because those movies were a lot of fun.  After all, it’s not like he’s is directing movies left and right (his last was Iron Man […]

Flight 7500 – Review

  Overall, Takashi Shimizu’s (The Grudge, The Grudge 2, Ju-on: The Grudge–see a trend here?) Flight 1750 is a pretty decent horror movie that’s interested more in the slow-burn approach to film making, as opposed to how much blood (CGI or otherwise) can be splashed about. And that’s not a bad thing because Shimizu knows his […]

Independence Day: Resurgence – Trailer 2

  Take note, Bryan Singer, this is how you do it!  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: No body brings the destruction like Roland Emmerich (and I’m not suggesting for a moment that it has anything to do with him being German, though it can’t hurt). The sequel to 1996’s Independence Day […]

Jason Bourne – Trailer

  Paul Greenglass, the director of The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum and Matt Damon are back with the further adventures of super spy Jason Bourne with Jason Bourne. Though what I find most interesting is if Greenglass and Damon can make Jason Bourne relevant in these days where characters like Captain America play […]

Godzilla: Resurgence – Trailer

  The strange thing about the latest trailer of Godzilla: Resurgence is that when you see the world’s most popular kaiju it feels like he turns up more in that small period of time than he did for the entirety of 2014’s Gareth Edwards-hemmed movie. That’s an exaggeration, though not as huge as you’d think considering […]

The Neon Demon – Trailer

You’ve got to give it to Nicholas Winding Refn–he of the awfully cool name–who,  visually speaking, is probably one of the most interesting directors working today. The way he uses color reminds me of Guillermo Del Toro, who also uses it to indicate a certain atmosphere and feel. So it goes without saying that the trailer is […]

Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them – Teaser Trailer 2

Off the top of my head, I think that I may have seen two Harry Potter movies, though the only one I remember is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (mainly because it was directed by Alfonso Cuarón, who did the remarkable Children of Men–one of those rare movies significantly better than the books that inspired them–more so than […]

Rogue One: Trailer

I enjoyed J.J. Abrams’ interpretation of the Star Wars universe with The Force Awakens, but it felt too shiny, too clean. Now Rogue One feels like a Star Wars movie should. Or maybe it’s just seeing old school Star Destroyers and the original Death Star, though I think that it’s the grim tone, the grit and the […]
