Shaft is back! Richard Roundtree introduced the character to moviegoers in 1971 in an eponymously titled movie directed by Gordon Parks and written by Ernest Tidyman and John D.F. Black. It spawned two sequels, Shaft’s Big Score in 1972 (also directed by Parks) and Shaft in Africa, this time directed by John Guillermin, in 1973. […]
Universal Pictures dropped a trailer for their Fast and Furious spin-off, Shaw & Hobbs and…it’s interesting because while it continues the car fetishization typical for the series it’s a spin-off from–if the trailer is at all accurate it’s become a superhero film. For instance, Idris Elba’s Brixton IS Power Man (essentially)–which is interesting because Netflix […]
I’m not sure what this is. It claims to be the teaser trailer for the upcoming DCEU movie Birds Of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) and it might very well be. Though the thing is is that it looks really, really…sketchy. And oddly enough, I find that interesting
The official trailer for Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy was released yesterday and it looks really, really good (sort of like a mix of The Prisoner, a dash of Hellboy, and a whole lot of X-Men). As I said, I like how it looks, but what bothers me is that it feels like Netflix is using […]
I recently cut a reaction trailer for the recently released Captain Marvel: Special Look (2019), where in my somewhat meandering fashion, I discuss not only why I haven’t seen Aquaman but why I prefer superhero movies from Marvel Studios. Agree? Disagree? Let me know in the Down Below.
A few moments ago the first trailer for Us dropped, which is the followup to Jordan Peele’s uber-successful debut, Get Out and…I’m intrigued. And I get the feeling what’s happening is that the family in the trailer are being menaced by alternate future versions of themselves–which doesn’t quite explain how they’re able to scale trees like […]
The latest trailer for Warner Bros/Legendary’s Godzilla: King Of The Monsters dropped about an hour ago, and here’s to hoping that it shows a bit more Godzilla than the 2014 movie, where the monster felt like a guest star in it’s own movie.
This is an AMAZING trailer on so many levels. First off, it reads as a retelling of the Superman origin story, which can’t be an accident. Though what’s even more interesting is that it reads as if said origin were reinterpreted by Zach Snyder. I honestly don’t know what to think about it, except […]
The trailer for Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame dropped a few hours ago, and it goes without saying I shot a quick reaction trailer. Avengers: Endgame Official Trailer Trailer Into Reaction – Avengers: Endgame
Captain Marvel looks pretty good. It appears to have have everything I look for in a superhero movie, namely ample doses of action, heart and humor. Which by no means guarantees a hit. What does is that it comes from Marvel Studios, who have proven time and again that being faithful to the characters–on top […]
