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=l9laReRAYFk In what looks to be more of a sequel to Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor than Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan (both in narrative and spirit), Midway is a remake of the classic war film with an all-star cast that dramatizes in epic spectacle America's response to the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. It comes from disaster-movie maven Roland [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5z3cr8AB5g To say I'm excited for this would be an understatement. Waves is the third film from writer/director Trey Edward Shults, an indie upstart whose first feature in 2016 -- a microbudgeted family drama called Krisha -- was one of the more acclaimed debuts of recent memory. It Comes At Night, his art house horror [...]
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 [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRjvmVaFHkk In Warner Bros.' big super villain experiment, Joker goes full Scorsese. Inspired by the legendary director's films Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy (and, along with them, the anti-hero psychological character studies of the 1970s), director Todd Phillips is taking a more realistic and R-rated approach to DC's most iconic bad guy. Anchoring [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n1T3HxHd7Y&feature=youtu.be "Your journey nears its end." Those words are spoken by The Emperor (who's unseen) in this latest teaser for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, one that premiered this past weekend at Disney's D23 conferernce, and since this "Special Look" trailer (watch it first, then continue reading) begins with Luke (also unseen) expressing sentiments [...]
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 [...]
