I saw the trailer for “Let’s Be Cops” when I went to see “Oculus” last week and I really enjoyed it. It stars Jake Johnson, from “The New Girl,” a television show that I happen to like (Yeah, I was surprised too) and Damon Wayans Jr. Johnson has this vaguely Jack Klugmanesque (in the role of […]
If you have an opportunity to see any of the [Rec] series of horror films –”[Rec],” “[Rec] 2,” “[Rec] 3: Genesis” and “[Rec] 4: Apocalypse” – do it, subtitles or not (They were filmed originally in Spanish). And in case you’re wondering, ‘REC’ is short for quite a few things, such as: Renewable Energy Certificate, Regional Examination Center, though the […]
Guillermo Del Toro is, it goes without saying, one of my favorite directors working today. His work is always interesting, even if doesn’t make billions of dollars. He’s been working with Legendary Pictures since “Pacific Rim,” which did OK at the boxoffice. I haven’t heard anything about a sequel, though he’s currently working on “Crimson […]
I like the work of Scott Derrickson (and I hope that he’s being considered for Marvel Studios upcoming Doctor Strange feature, along with Don Coscarelli). Heck, I even like his remake of “The Day The Earth Stood Still,” if only because he was able to find a role for Keanu Reeves that made that actor’s wooden […]
Here’s the latest trailer for “X-Men: Days Of Future Past,” were our not-quite-so-merry band of mutants have to send one of their number back to the past to prevent a all-out war against mutant-kind led by the Sentinels. If the early trailers were guilty of giving away too little, this one reveals a litte too much, though […]
I should be a little reluctant to admit this, but I find the cinematics (the movies that bridge one section of a video game with another) fascinating. For instance, I like Blizzard’s “StarCraft” but when I am being honest to myself I admit that I care slightly less about the gameplay than the cool little movies […]
As I understand it, this isn’t the actual trailer for David Cronenberg’s upcoming “Map To the Stars,” but one cut for the purpose of international sales. I stumbled upon it–with more than a little help from “The Wrap”–though it makes me wonder why Cronenberg continues to work with Robert Patterson. If their last film together, […]
You ever watch a trailer and get the feeling that the director is probably trying to be too artsy? Well, that’s there feeling that I get from watching “Wish I Were Here,” the latest film from Zach Braff, while also fighting the urge to type, “Wish You Were Here,” which is an awesome song by Pink Floyd, […]
The ‘Expendables’ films are somewhat of a guilty pleasure for me in the sense that they remind me of an American muscle car, like the Corvette Stingray. It might not be state of the art in certain ways, such as engine technology, but it’s surprising the problems that copious amounts of horsepower can solve. This film is chock […]
I like this trailer, it’s very atmospheric. As I have said before though, I am worried because Gareth Edwards’ last film, “Monsters” was atmospheric too, but offered little else. You even get a little bit of Godzilla-love at the end. I hope that it brings the goods, after all we have already had a Godzilla reboot, […]
