https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3pk_TBkihU&t= It's not time travel. It's inversion. To put it in practical terms, it's like what John David Washington's agent is told: "You're not shooting the bullet. You're catching it." Whoa. That's about as close as I can come to describing what Tenet is about -- and I wouldn't have it any other way. The [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyzxu26-Wqk Tom Hanks is back in World War II, but this time he'll be fighting by sea rather than by land. And rather than the action exploding on the big screen, now it will stream straight to the small. Originally, Sony Pictures had slated Greyhound for a Father's Day weekend release in June. But now, [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdW6BBF22AY Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams are bringing Nordic Glam Rock to Netflix -- and it's real. Kind of. Okay, it's totally fake, but Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga is based on an actual Scandinavian competition that takes place annually (you can check out their YouTube page here). With this year's event [...]
Are you not entertained? Russell Crowe is about to ask (and answer?) that question again when Unhinged opens in movie theaters on July 1, 2020. Originally slated for a Labor Day weekend release, the indie thriller's new distributor Solstice Studios saw a way to raise its profile: release the first new movie when many theaters [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnG4ag3Nkes Sending parents on a trip while the kids behind to do whatever they want is NOT what we should be doing right now -- but it sure works as a vicarious adventure for these #StayAtHome self-isolating times. Based on the popular children's book series by Louis Lowry, The Willoughbys is Netflix's latest offering from [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOsLIiBStEs&feature=emb_logo Pixar movies have always been sentimental, but this one looks to be the most Capra-esque yet. In the latest trailer for Soul (which appears to give away much of the plot, or at least the trajectory of the story's first two-thirds), middle school band teacher and aspiring jazz artist Joe Gardner (voice of Jamie [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_HvoipFcA8 Jungle Cruise may be an adventure through the Amazon but, if this latest trailer is any indication, the new Disney family flick is more akin to a tour through successful film franchises. Mix equal parts Indiana Jones with Pirates of the Caribbean while updating the Old Hollywood gender-clash of The African Queen; that's basically [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybji16u608U It's a mid-MCU prequel. It's all about family. And Natasha Romanoff is finally going to stop running from her past. That's basically the formulaic "yada yada yada" of this final trailer for Black Widow, one packed with action and new looks at the stand alone story's villain, Taskmaster. From director Cate Shortland, and starring [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShCEV1E2qtY The girl can twirl. "Commander", the latest TV ad for Disney's live-action remake of Mulan, showcases the female warrior waging battle by deploying some very impressive balletic skills. Starring Yifei Liu in the title role, Mulan is one of the major blockbusters that's not backing down from its release date, despite growing coronavirus fears. [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08AExF6dETA There's a lot going on in Trolls World Tour, but its latest trailer (above) does a great job at simplifying it. The sequel to the breakout pop-music-fueled hit Trolls expands the world by expanding its genres. Poppy and Branch (voices of Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake) discover that there are six different Troll tribes, [...]
