I’ve said it before, but with movies like Captain America: Civil War and the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse it’s hard for other movies to get any oxygen, particularly big-budget tentpoles like Warcraft and Independence Day: Resurgence Mixed reviews certainly don’t help, like in the case of Warcraft though I honestly think that people are getting tired […]
Before watching the latest trailer for Pixar’s Finding Dory I was prepared to not like it. After all, I find Ellen DeGeneres’ voice irritatingly ingratiating and in this particular context so saccharine cute that if I were diabetic I’d be worried about falling into a coma. That being said, the trailer is pretty captivating. The […]
As I mention in my latest video (below the text), the most recent trailer for Star Trek: Beyond (I don’t care that there’s no colon, I’m putting one in anyway) looks pretty interesting. There’s a lot going on–maybe even a bit too much because from a narrative standpoint I have no idea why things are happening […]
2013’s The Purge was always a guilty pleasure of mine, despite that if you take away the fascinating concept of a 12-hour period once a year in which you’re free kill whomever you want, you’re left with what is a simple home invasion thriller. With the 2014 sequel, The Purge: Anarchy the concept began to […]
I have to admit that the latest Ghostbusters trailer is MUCH, MUCH better than the first. Melissa McCarthy is apparently playing Melissa McCarthy; that’s a good or bad thing depending on how one typically feels about her antics. Leslie Jones this time around is a pleasant surprise, as she seems more interesting than all the […]
Don’t Breathe is an interesting trailer that comes off as the anti-Hush, if you will. Hush, currently on Netflix, revolves a woman who–if I recall–loses her voice to a bout of meningitis at some point in her past. She ends up terrorized by a killer and she’s unable to call for help because the aforementioned infection robbed […]
If you haven’t seen the trailer for Gavin O’Connor’s (Warrior) The Accountant, it revolves around Christian Wolfe (Ben Affleck) who’s a savant that if the flashbacks are any indication, and ranks relatively high on the autism scale. And it looks like an interesting idea for a movie, that is if you haven’t seen 2014’s The […]
How is it that Jimmy Kimmel manages to get the trailers for the biggest movies of summer before anyone else? From Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to Captain America: Civil War, Doctor Strange and many others, Kimmel’s show is where they first appeared. The latest is for Assassin’s Creed, which is based on a […]
The Cell isn’t the first feature that John Cusack and Sam Jackson appeared in that’s based on a Steven King novel or short story. That honor would have to go to 1408, which came out in 2007; though unlike their last effort–which revolved around a haunted hotel room, which is more in the vein of The Shining–the […]
I have no idea what Dawn of War III is like as a game–the first thing that popped into my head was that it looked an awful lot like StarCraft–though the trailer is pretty impressive. Apparently, armored humans are fighting orcs, while Evangelion-like warriors, who hang out in adobe niches, look out over the carnage. […]
