(see full image below) Happy Birthday, Mr. Rogers. To celebrate what would've been Fred Rogers' 91st birthday on March 20, the makers of A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood -- the upcoming film starring Tom Hanks as the beloved PBS children's show host -- released a new image from the film, with Hanks striking the iconic [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Scf8nIJCvs4 Groovy, baby. It's hard to imagine a movie being "more" Quentin Tarantino than his 9th one, Once Upon A Time...in Hollywood. It has everything he geeks over: movie sets, movie stars, a hip retro soundtrack and the styles to go with it, some kung fu fighting, and that turn-of-the-mid-century era when Old Hollywood was transitioning [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=TcMBFSGVi1c New trailer. Half of it's stuff we've seen before (from going down memory lane to rehashing the end of the last movie). The rest is generic assembling but in some slick new Quantum Realm unis. Plus a Captain Marvel cameo, tagged with a bland one-liner from Thor that's pulled from the cliché pile. We got [...]

That Potter paraphrase is basically what we're in for with Dark Phoenix, the latest chapter in the X-Men franchise. The new film -- which underwent a reshoot overhaul and saw its release delayed for over a year -- takes a turn to focus squarely on Jean [...]
It's A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood - literally. That's the offiical title of the Mr. Rogers movie starring Tom Hanks as the beloved PBS children's show host. Below is the first official photo from the film, from the movie's Twitter page. It follows a behind the scenes image of Hanks as Rogers, sitting on [...]
After over forty years, the Skywalker Saga has finally been told. Now, the final chapter just needs to be put together. Writer/Director J.J. Abrams tweeted this image from the final day of shooting for Star Wars: Episode IX, when production finally wrapped. The new trilogy trio -- Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Oscar Isaac -- [...]
First The Rider, then this, and now this?! That trinity of indie glory may anoint Chloé Zhao as the filmmaker I'm most fascinated by right now. The Rider, which I ranked #4 on my Top Ten List for 2018, was a moving breakthrough of small indepedent cinema on multiple levels, not the least of which is [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Girzu81oS8Q An inevitable biopic -- arguably even long overdue -- the movie about Middle Earth creator J.R.R. Tolkien has finally be made. The film's first teaser trailer reveals...pretty much what you'd expect, if not exactly, as it juxtaposes real-life events (from serving in WWI to his time as a student at Oxford) against visions of [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=106&v=IBz7FUlZPXI Previous trailers for the live action Dumbo movie (this one and this one) have definintely felt like a Disney movie, but the new international trailer really feels like a Tim Burton movie -- not in a dark way, but more like a "sentimental sympathy for the freakish outcasts" Edward Scissorhands kind of way. Dumbo opens [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=174&v=9SA7FaKxZVI Mission: Impossible - Odd Couple. As this first trailer for the Fast & Furious spinoff Hobbs & Shaw opens with Fallout's Vanessa Kirby, you wouldn't fault an M:I fan for briefly getting their hopes up that this was another Ethan Hunt adventure. (The marketers, no doubt, were strategically playing off of Kirby's association with [...]
