https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GddFXKQaC3g Leave it to Clint Eastwood to drop a bomb in the year-end awards season. From Million Dollar Baby to American Sniper, the legendary actor/director has made a late-career habit of quietly producing a movie with little fanfare and unknown release date that ends up becoming a last-minute Oscar contender. The industry buzz on The [...]
***1/2 out of **** Rated R (for strong language throughout, some sexuality and nudity, and substance abuse) Released: October 5, 2018 Runtime: 135 minutes Directed by: Bradley Cooper Starring: Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper, Sam Elliott, Dave Chapelle, Anthony Ramos, Andrew Dice Clay A movie star has been born, and another – now making his directorial debut [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g09a9laLh0k It's hard to take this liberal fan fiction seriously (at least by the tone of this first trailer), but it still may be entertaining. Vice is the new film from Academy Award winning filmmaker Adam McKay, and it plays like a kindred cousin to McKay's gonzo takedown of the 2008 subprime mortgage financial crisis, [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=155&v=tg52up16eq0 In a web of alternate realities, a whole bunch of Spider-Mans get stuck in the net of one. Over the long history of Marvel's most iconic character, there have been variations beyond the Peter Parker standard, some more popular than others (and a few rather fringe). Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse -- the first animated [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpOGT3GTO84 If this first teaser is any indication, the Elton John biopic won't go breaking our hearts. In fact, if I had to pick between which two upcoming 70s/80s era pop-rock movies looks better - Rocketman or Bohemian Rhapsody - it's this tiny dancer, by a long shot. The trailers for the Queen / Freddie [...]
They'll be back. Currently filming the still-untitled Terminator 6 movie, stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton struck a pose from an old set photo on Terminator 2: Judgment Day to re-create it 27 years later, posting it on Instagram on Hamilton's 62nd birthday. Arnold's OG Terminator may be more bruised and battered this time around, but the affection [...]
You're Tom Hanks as Mr. Rogers; of course I'll be your neighbor! Sony Pictures released its first photo of the beloved 2-time Academy Award winning actor as the beloved PBS icon, for their movie You Are My Friend. It's not a full biopic of Fred Rogers but, much like that Hanks-as-Walt-Disney film Saving Mr. Banks [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=Eclj77aXmWs The apocalypse has definitely been cancelled. Following the disastrous reception of X:Men: Apocalypse (which I actually enjoyed for what it was, but whatevs), the X-Men franchise appears to be shifting gears in a dramatic way. From my perspective, it's all for the better. The first trailer for Dark Phoenix, which continues the prequel narrative [...]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=grPbxNBA8qc "It’s not just about revenge. It’s about a lot of things.” That's how actor Michael B. Jordan describes Creed II and, by the looks of this strong second trailer, I'd agree. The latest boxing sequel in the extended Rocky saga pits Jordan's Adonis Johnson, son of Apollo Creed, against Russian Viktor Drago, the son of Ivan [...]
