(To read my ranking of the Spielberg Canon, click here.) On Monday May 30, 2016 – Memorial Day – I invite you to join me here at the I Can’t Unsee That movie blog to kick off a “30 Days Of Spielberg” celebration. In anticipation of his upcoming children’s fantasy The BFG, I will be looking at the entire [...]
Following the debut teaser fueled by the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage", the latest (and possibly last) trailer for Star Trek Beyond - see below - ditches the fun rock-and-rap attitude for a bigger, bolder, more emotional tone. I'm still not exactly sure what to expect from this movie. Trailer #2 certainly has all the elements I'm looking for, but [...]
Why didn't they just show this one in the first place? On the heels of the second stateside trailer for the estrogen reboot of Ghostbusters, Sony Pictures has released an International Trailer - and it has the best collection of jokes and effects yet. If the first two trailers suggested this movie has potential, this [...]
***1/2 out of **** Rated R (for violence, sexuality, nudity, strong language, and brief drug use) Released: May 20, 2016 Runtime: 116 minutes Director: Shane Black Starring: Russell Crowe, Ryan Gosling, Angourie Rice, Margaret Qualley, Yaya DaCosta, Kim Basinger, Matt Bomer, Keith David, Beau Knapp Writer/Director Shane Black is sort of the Shakespeare of Buddy Action [...]
The fallout from Batman V Superman continues. But perhaps for the first time, it's in a direction that's proactive and not reactive, and will bring order to its galaxy (to coin a term from another franchise). The biggest strength and advantage that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has had over DC's is an authoritative executive voice, one that steered [...]
Hopefully this will scare off the haters. Recently, the first trailer for the new Ghostbusters reboot garnered the infamous distinction of being the most disliked movie trailer in YouTube history, receiving the most "thumbs down" votes ever by a sizable margin. This caused a lot of consternation and unnecessary concerns, which is a bit maddening (I mean, come [...]
Summer's barely starting, but this movie is the reason I'm looking forward to getting to the halfway point. After an initial teaser and then an official trailer, the 2nd full trailer for Steven Spielberg's upcoming The BFG (see below), based on Roald Dahl's classic book, has hit the internet. This comes on the heels of [...]
I'm no Marvel fan, but wow, this cast is looking legit. Following the electric buzz surrounding actor Chadwick Boseman's debut as Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War, the cast for that character's first stand alone entry is starting to take shape - including the possible villain. Already in discussions (but not confirmed) is Oscar-winner Lupita [...]
Good Wolff Hunting? But as an assassin. That's a quippy but basically-accurate nutshell of The Accountant (at least based on its debut trailer - see below), the new thriller starring Ben Affleck that opens this fall. Plus, in an added layer to Affleck's math savant character Christian Wolff: he appears to be somewhere on the spectrum. Assuming that's [...]
