The trailer to the sequel to “21 Jump Street” is out and instead of high school, Jenko (Channing Tatum) and Schmidt (Jonah Hill) go to college. I didn’t see the original film, because I thought it looked stupid, though at the time I had no idea how likable Tatum seemed to be. There’s a joke […]
The teaser (I still can’t quite get over the idea that studios are actually making teasers for trailers. It wasn’t that long ago that trailers were teasers for movies, but I digress) for Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” has arrived, and it’s full of wonder. And corn. That being said, you can see Nolan is trying to […]
Let me first come out and say that I think Tom Cruise is a pretty competent actor. That being said, I don’t think he can ever be great at his craft because he can’t seem to get over himself. ‘Edge’ is Cruise-centered, as usual (which makes sense when you’re the star of a film) but […]
I have to admit that I am not a huge fan of Gareth Edwards‘ “Monsters,” mainly because there weren’t enough ‘monsters’ in it. That being said, if this teaser is any indicator, I may be eating my words because his Godzilla is looking pretty awesome (though I am not too crazy about the squared-off jaw).
“Jupiter Ascending” is the latest film from the Warchowski siblings, and appears to involve a girl named – I kid you not – Jupiter and some other stuff about other intelligent life in the universe. The effects look spectacular, though the narrative appears more than a little bit muddled. I assume that later trailers will […]
The trailer for Marc Webb’s “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” just popped up, and it feels – and sounds – like a Michael Bay Transformers film. So many cars flying about, so many explosions! This must be what happens when a director being given too much money is combined with rebooting a property too soon: You […]
I am not sure that I crazy about the Hercules being blond (I am partial to the Marvel version of the character) but other than that, I like what I see. This is the first of two Hercules movies in development. It stars Kellan Lutz and is directed by Renny Harlin (The Long Kiss Goodnight, […]
Not sure what to think of “That Awkward Moment.” It looks amusing (though truth be told it’s a 2 minute 9 second trailer. In that time I could probably cut an amusing Schindler’s List trailer) but I am getting a “New Girl” type of feeling. By which I mean you have two white guys and […]
Just when you thought that HIV was the scariest thing you could contract sexually, it now looks like you might have to add sexually transmitted zombification to that list. Here’s the trailer for “Contracted,” and good luck out there.
It’s funny that, despite my appreciation for anime, I have never been a fan of Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki. He’s clearly influential, but I haven’t yet sat through any of his productions. Perhaps I’ll give them another try. Here’s the trailer for his latest, “The Wind Rises.”
