I created a reaction trailer to Patty Jenkins’ for Wonder Woman 1984 though in case you don’t feel like watching, it’s not great (not my reaction trailer, that’s awesome. I mean WW 1984). It’s colorful and seems to reflect that 80’s esthetic pretty well–probably better than Netflix’s Stranger Things–but the trailer is chaotic and not […]
The teaser for Marvel Studios’ Black Widow dropped early this morning, and it’s glorious though what I mentioned in my video is worth repeating, namely Black Widow will likely avoid what I like to call ‘The Charlie’s Angels Misstep.’ By which I mean you make an action film designed with a laser-like focus to appeal […]
The trailer for Blumhouse’s Antebellum is called a ‘trailer,’ when ‘teaser’ would be more apt. It’s so vague–you can tell it has something to do with Slavery (the ‘S’ is no accident. As that peculiar institution existed in the United States was quite unlike how it was elsewhere) and its various accoutrements are somehow reaching […]
M. Night Shyamalan is fascinating. As I say in the video below he’s one of those persons who seems to fail upward, defying both gravity and common sense. Remember, there was a time when this dude was the toast of Hollywood, before his ego grew too massive to be contained (considering I’m talking about Hollywood […]
I recall reading somewhere where Nick Cage referred to as an “A list” actor and while he may be many things I’m not at all sure that’s one of them. Reason being, he’s too quirky, too cognizant that movie making is a job above all else, which means he’s going to be in a lot […]
I don’t know about you but I really dig vampires, especially when they’re in the fashion of Near Dark and 30 Days Of Night. Reason being, they’re not the more traditional. romantic interpretations of the vampire myth, with fears of crucifixes and churches. These modern day horrors tend to more science-adjacent, typically coming by their […]
Sony can’t get over their fetishization of nostalgia. First there was Charlie’s Angels–which according to the media isn’t doing all that well–now there’s Fantasy Island, which if this trailer is any indicator, looks really, really interesting. It–as in the trailer–plays like a horror movie (being produced via Blumhouse doesn’t hurt that association) and it looks […]
