https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiHiW4N7-bo There's no better action franchise today - and maybe no better franchise, period - than the Mission: Impossible films. In its 22nd year, the Tom Cruise-led spy series boasts real-life stunts that live up to the "Impossible" name, and Mission: Impossible - Fallout looks no different. In this latest trailer, the never-aging Cruise returns [...]
https://youtu.be/PYimOnyCknw In just 60 seconds, Pixar's latest TV Spot for Incredibles 2 distills the premise for this hotly-anticipated sequel as well as any promo has so far. It opens on June 15, 2018.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=150&v=1FJD7jZqZEk A lot of Force Awakens haters griped that J.J. Abrams cribbed too much from A New Hope's basic structure and archetypes. Well, Episode VII can now hold Jurassic World 2's beer. In many ways, the final trailer for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom plays like a plot-beat retread of The Lost World: Jurassic Park, where [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=39&v=KUXd7p_vd3w Look, the more (not less) that commercials and trailers highlight Alden Ehrenreich's Han Solo performance, the better off Solo: A Star Wars Story is going to be. Why? Because the more familiar that fans are with his spin on the rogue smuggler before they enter the theater (rather than just Harrison Ford's iconic standard) the [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=i5qOzqD9Rms Pixar's new trailer for Incredibles 2 doesn't reveal too much more about the narrative than the original teaser did, but it does double down on more clips of what we know: Bob has gone from Mr. Incredible to Mr. Mom of the superhero Parr family, and Helen / Elastigirl is the go-to crimefighter, working [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=jPEYpryMp2s It's about six weeks before Solo: A Star Wars Story lightspeeds into theaters, and the first "official" trailer finally lands (following the previous Super Bowl teaser). It does exactly what you'd expect, establishing the characters and story just a little bit more clearly than before (Woody Harrelson's Tobias Beckett appears to be the guy [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkRo5l8679g Well that only took 20 years. In possibly the most infamous film production disaster of all time, director Terry Gilliam (The Fisher King, 12 Monkeys, Brazil, and Monty Python alumnus) saw his Don Quixote passion project go up in flames while he was shooting it in the 1990s. As accounted for in the absolutely [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIWiCjiYi7o Here's something I never thought I'd say: if the new Star Wars movie is anything like that Denny's commercial, it should be a lot of fun! Have faith, padawans. Solo: A Star Wars Story opens on May 25, 2018.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCF5Y8dQpR4 A thriller where the insidious terror is...Reformed theology? Okay, not quite. But in controversial writer/director Paul Schrader's latest film, it's a question of if the light that one reverend preaches about is powerful enough to defeat the darkness. First Reformed stars Ethan Hawke as a small town minister whose existential crisis of faith is [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhwktRDG_aQ&feature=youtu.be It's not often (if ever) that someone as counter-cultural as Mr. Rogers, a person so unhip and categorically square, can be so universally revered. But no matter who you talk to - liberal or conservative, progressive or traditionalist - the sentiments are the same: Fred Rogers was the best of us, someone we all [...]
