A trailer like this starts sending up a whole bunch of red flags for me. Collateral Beauty seems to be about how Will Smith (or whomever he's playing) deals with grief in his own unique way, connects with the universe, and is spiritually enlightened by it all. And hopefully we will be too. Unless, of course, [...]

New DOCTOR STRANGE Sneak Peak And Image Gallery (VIDEO/IMAGES)
I'm not a big fan of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), but everything I see about Doctor Strange has me excited about new possibilities. That would include this new 1-minute behind-the-scenes video sneak peak that sets the basis for these characters. It's a great tutorial for people (like me) who are fresh to the Strange [...]
Trailer/Pics For Oscar Hopeful LION (VIDEO/IMAGES)
Harvey Weinstein's going all in on Lion. Every Awards season, The Weinstein Company (like Miramax before it) makes a few plays for Oscar glory. Ultimately, though, they push one above the rest. This year, that movie will be Lion. The studio just released the film's first trailer. Based on a true story, it's the account of a young Indian man (played by [...]
Oscar Contender MANCHESTER BY THE SEA Trailer Debuts (VIDEO)
This may end up being the best film of the year. If the buzz is any indication (not to mention writer/director Kenneth Lonergan's track record), Manchester by the Sea looks to be as emotionally absorbing as any movie in 2016, and is destined to play a major part in the Oscar race. With previous indie [...]
New LA LA LAND Trailer Shows Promise & Magic (VIDEO)
Normally I'm in a rush for December because of the holiday season, but add this movie to the list of reasons to fast-forward the next three months. Evoking the same tone as the first teaser, this new short trailer for La La Land - the new, original musical from Whiplash director Damien Chazelle and starring Emma [...]
VOYAGE OF TIME Trailer: Theatrical Edition – Terrence Malick’s Meditation On Everything (VIDEO)
The Past. The Present. The Future. In what's being billed as "the story of our universe", director Terrence Malick's long-awaited Voyage Of Time (which has been years in the making, by some reports nearly a decade) is about to hit theaters this October. It'll be presented in two forms: a 40-minute IMAX cut, and then [...]
Trailer Debut For Sci-Fi Thriller ARRIVAL (VIDEO)
"Arrival" may be referring to an alien invasion but, for movie audiences, it could very well stand for the breakout moment by lauded director Denis Villeneuve. The filmmaker behind last year's critically-praised Sicario and the upcoming Blade Runner sequel, Villeneuve is a master craftsman who tells riveting stories that get under your skin. Arrival - with its [...]
ROGUE ONE International Trailer Highlights Heroine (VIDEO)
If the first full Official Trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story that debuted during the Olympics was more about the team being assembled, this variation on that theme in the new International Trailer is more focused on the team leader, Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones), that includes a key reference to her father along with a [...]
First HIDDEN FIGURES Trailer Highlights Space Race Minority Trailblazers (VIDEO/IMAGES)
Here's another one of those true stories you can't believe you've never heard of, and wonder why it hasn't been made into a movie long before now. But given the racial tensions of 2016, Hidden Figures may have been providentially preserved for such a time as this. Unknown to most, a small group of African-American women were [...]
First ALLIED Teaser Primes Oscar Season (VIDEO)
Here's looking at you, Pitt. Okay, it's not exactly Casablanca, but between the World War II North African setting, star-crossed romance, and a rebel resistance fighter, Allied has more than a few things in common (at least on a surface level) with that timeless classic. Starring Brad Pitt and Academy Award-winner Marion Cotillard, Pitt plays a [...]
