‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ UK Trailer

Now this trailer I like!  Unlike the ones that have been produced for domestic consumption, this has a narrative cohesion that they lack.  In fact, amidst all the chaos, it almost has a Spielbergian feel at times (particularly with the little boy who’s being taken by aliens). This is the trailer that should have been […]

‘The Rover’ Trailer

What is it about Australia and the fall of civilization?  Is it because they have the Outback, a desert space that will in no uncertain terms kill you if you venture into it unprepared? Or is there something in the Australian character that makes Man, as well as everything that we have ever created, broken and hanging […]

‘The Signal’ Review

With So Many Options At The Multiplex, There’s A Real Chance The Signal Will Not Get Through. Which Would Be A Pity For awhile I was considering not writing a review of William Eubank‘s The Signal, till I noticed that with behemoths like How To Train Your Dragon 2, 22 Jump Street, Guardians Of The Galaxy, Transformers: Age Of […]

‘Birdman’ Trailer

I don’t quite know what to make of Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman.  On one level it appears to be a superhero drama, on another it appears to be a dark comedy.  I get the feeling that this Birdman only exists in the imagination of Riggan Thomson (Michael Keaton) whom appears to be a washed-up actor. What his […]

‘The Equalizer’ Trailer

This movie is going to be huge.  With The Transformers: Age Of Extinction and Guardians Of The Galaxy coming, The Equalizer probably isn’t on too many people’s radar, though it should be. It’s based upon the 1985 CBS television series that starred the late Edward Woodward.  He played a private detective, and former intelligence agent, that […]

The Signal

Ecclesiastes 1:4-11 said: What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Most movies seem to have taken those words to heart, because they tend to be be all the same, no matter whether they’re comedies, action movies, or […]

‘Get On Up’ Trailer

Like Clint Eastwood’s Jersey Boys, Tate Taylor‘s Get On Up is a purportedly autobiographical, though it covers the life of James Brown (and in case you were curious, his name is actually James Brown), as opposed to Frankie Valli. Though like the aforementioned Clint Eastwood Joint, it’s also not quite my cup of tea.

Jersey Boys Trailers 1 & 2

Here are the latest trailers from Clint Eastwood‘s film, Jersey Boys, purportedly the story of Frankie Valli (considering his original name was Francesco Stephen Castelluccio ‘Frankie Valli’ rolls off the tongue much, much easier) and The Four Seasons.  It’s not the type of movie I am typically drawn to, but if it happened to be on television […]
