https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odMdKdTa7g8 It's the new trailer for Rian Johnson's original whodunit mystery Knives Out with an all-star ensemble (see cast posters below), but I'm haven't watched it. Will you? Sure, it's one of the most buzzed about entertainments to come out of the recent Toronto International Film Festival, but at this point I'm guessing that the [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7kbVvpOGdQ They're back...and they're everywhere. Working as a segue between Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and the upcoming Jurassic World 3, the new 8-minute short film Battle At Big Rock is the first example of what the end of Fallen Kingdom teased: dinosaurs have escaped island quarantine and are now spreading out across the U.S. mainland and [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVQbeG5yW78 This feels like Oscar bait from the 1990s, and judging by last year's Best Picture win for Green Book that could be a winning Awards Season formula (especially with its confronation of racial issues). Just Mercy, the latest film from director Destin Daniel Cretton (whose indie breakout Short Term 12 is one of the [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL4McUzXfFI&feature=youtu.be Wes Anderson, but goofier. That's the tone of Jojo Rabbit, the new political satire from writer/director Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok, Hunt For The Wilderpeople), as seen in this latest trailer. The premise -- of a German boy during World War II who befriends a runaway teenage Jewish girl while also having Adolf Hitler [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxy8udgWRmo&feature=youtu.be They're back. And they're together again. Previous promos for Terminator: Dark Fate have teased glimpses of Linda Hamilton's Sarach Connor and Arnold Schwarzenegger's T-800 meeting again, but this final trailer for the reboot-sequel has them finally fighting side-by-side. Serving as a direct decades-later continuation of Terminator 2: Judgment Day (films 3, 4, and 5 [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuBRcfe4bSo Just call it Meryl Brockovich. The new film from director Steven Soderbergh (his second in a row for Netflix) plays like a mix between his Oscar-winning blue collar whistleblower drama Erin Brockovich and the glitzy fun of his Ocean's trilogy. "Based on some real sh**," as the trailer puts it (along with a [...]
The Joker origin movie -- which has received an R rating, per expectation -- will have its second trailer premiere this Wednesday, August 28. To build anticipation for the latest sneak peak, Warner Bros. has dropped six clip snippets onto the film's Instagram account. (See below, along with image gallery.) They're essentially mood setters, and they [...]
And if she will not be turned...she. will. be. de. stroyed! That's basically what The Emperor is thinking in this new poster for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, which was unveiled at Disney's D23 Expo. A behind-the-scenes video with surprising new footage was also screened, but it hasn't been released online as of now. [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fru8IkuDp_k Didn't see this one coming. It's not that the material is any kind of shocker; it's just that the movie was nowhere on my radar. After a nearly twenty year absence, Edward Norton makes his sophomore directorial effort with Motherless Brooklyn, based on a crime novel by Jonathan Lethem (A Scanner Darkly). Set in [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=x79Gf4cJDDE The most controversial response to 9/11 by the U.S. government (this side of invading Iraq, anyway) was the use of torture and waterboarding to gather information. The Report is the latest Awards Season contender from Amazon Studios (based on actual events) that dramatizes the process that led to the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on CIA [...]
