The Jungle Book (Trailer)
From the company that brought you Pirates of the Caribbean (aka, Disney) comes the first look at the latest entry of live-action Disney cartoons, The Jungle Book and I gotta say, it looks pretty awesome. While I’ll probably never be completely sold on CGI the animals on display here (save Kaa, the snake) look pretty amazing. I also love the sprawling, epic, action packed angle the film is taking then they tie it all back in at the...
Creed (Trailer 2)
The second trailer for the Rocky spin-off Creed has dropped, and it reveals more of the plot – namely the fates of certain characters, and the fact that the movie will simultaneously honor the Rocky canon while being it’s own creation. We can’t wait! OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS: From Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema comes award-winning filmmaker Ryan Coogler’s “Creed.” The film explores a...
I Smile Back (Trailer)
I’m a big fan of the people who made I Smile Back which made its debut at this years Sundance Film Festival. Sarah Silverman is a brilliant artist and this film shows her really sinking her teeth into a role that’s not comedic, per se. I’m also a big, big fan of one of the films producers, Brian Koppelman (who has an excellent podcast you should be listing to) and his wife Amy Koppelman wrote the screenplay for the film. So, I was...
Our Brand is Crisis (Trailer)
O.K., let’s start off with the good/great in this trailer for Our Brand is Crisis. First off, it’s great to see Sandra Bullock dropping some serious dramedy chops onscreen again. It’s what she’s best at and yes, floating in space talking to no one is not what she’s best at. Although she was actually pretty good at that. Secondly, great to see Billy Bob Thornton being a badass once again. It’s what he’s good at. Always. I also love the...
Demolition (Trailer)
I think it’s fair to say Jean-Marc Vallée is on a serious roll. His adaptations of Dallas Buyers Club and Wild we’re both critically successful and popular with audiences . More specifically, it’s no coincidence his new film – his third in as many years – is being released in the middle of award season. Let’s not forget Matthew McConaughey won his Oscar for Dallas, and Wild scored nominations for...
The Lobster- Trailer
One of the most unique and amazing films I’ve ever seen was Dogtooth, a truly trippy yet somehow moving Greek film from 2009 directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. Described thusly “Three teenagers live isolated, without leaving their house, because their over-protective parents say they can only leave when their dogtooth falls out” it’s much, much better and weirder than that and I recommend you check it out on the old Netflix. Like any...
Knock Knock- Trailer
Last week we shared with you the poster for the new Eli Roth film Knock Knock. Well this week we have a brand new trailer and while it seems to be a little light in tone, this is Eli Roth we’re talking about here. Dude’s not usually known for his comedy chops. Also, for those interested, the lovely brunette woman who comes knock knocking on Keanu Reeves’ door is Lorena Izzo who recently took Roth off the market by making an honest man...
Pay the Ghost- Trailer
Pay the Ghost? More like “pay off all the debt you’ve accrued buying bizaare stuff,” right Nicolas Cage? Yes, it’s true, Nic Cage is broke and as a result, he’s been working a whole bunch more. Which is good in the case of movies like Joe but bad in about 95% of the other crap he’s been making and this trailer for Pay the Ghost looks to fall into that larger zone of suckage. To be fair he is in the...
Rock the Kasbah- Trailer
That Bill Murray sure is staying busy these days but I’m starting to wonder if that’s a mixed blessing. His last few big roles in films have included Hyde Park on Hudson, A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III, Monuments Men, St. Vincent and Aloha. The best that can be said for most of those is that “well, it wasn’t very good but Bill Murray was great in it!” See what I mean? Mixed blessing. This...
Finders Keepers- Trailer
I love documentaries but am getting pretty fed up with how serious and heavy handed they’ve become. Sure, there are many, many incredibly important true life stories that need to be told but those same movies really seem to have a death grip on the genre. It’s kind of frustrating that these “sky is falling” docs corner the market while other great stories get relegated to the end of the line. Alas this is why...
Hell & Back- Red Band Trailer
I often say to myself, “self, why aren’t there more R-rated animated movies in the world? I mean, Japan has the whole anime porn thing dialed in to great (and creepy) success and clearly we Americans love us some raunchy animated TV (Family Guy, Rick and Morty, South Park) but no studio has really dipped a toe into adult oriented animated features. What’s up with that?” Well, it looks like my silent...
The Witch- Trailer
Remember back in January when Robert Eggers won “Best Director” at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival for his film The Witch? Yeah, me either. That’s because in an act of (in my opinion) brilliance, Eggers quickly and quietly sold his film to A24 and no one else got to see it unless you saw it at Sundance. (After doing some research it appears the film was sold even before it played Sundance which just goes to show that A24 doesn’t mess...
The Martian – Trailer
Ridley Scott’s next film The Martian drops on the plum date of October 2nd – not coincidentally, the same weekend Gravity dropped two years ago. And right about now, with two months to go before a new Ridley sci-fi flick, anticipation and excitement reach a fevered pitch before the cold reality of space kicks in. Prometheus, I’m looking at you. So time will tell whether The Martian ends up being bloated and unfocused...
Victor Frankenstein-Trailer
Anyone who’s read the classic novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley knows the book is all about fun, one-liners, stealth mystery and jump scares. Screenwriter Max Landis knows this so when he took a stab at a reboot of that classic story, that’s the angle he went with. Wait, what’s that? The original Frankenstein novel was created over a drug-fueled weekend rife with orgies while Shelley was trying to get over a...
The Hateful Eight Gets a Trailer
The new Quentin Tarantino movie is coming! The new Quentin Tarantino movie is coming! The new Quentin Tarantino movie is coming! I’m shouting it from the rooftops because, well, I’m super excited. You should be too! And if you’re not, you will be after you watch this first official trailer for QT’s latest, The Hateful Eight which looks fantastic! Also cool is that while the film will hit theaters Christmas Day cities who are fortunate...
The Last Witch Hunter- Trailer
If you like big, bombastic CGI effects, bad and brooding acting layered with cheesy one-liners, have we got a trailer for you! It’s The Last Witch Hunter starring Vin Diesel. But hey, one positive this film seems to have going for it is that it was directed by Breck Eisner of The Crazies and Sahara fame! Wait, I mean that’ s another thing to hold against it. But seriously, this looks bad. Even the ageless Elijah Wood looks...
Deadpool- Trailer (Red Band and Green…no, really)
O.K. Flick Nation, Good Morning. Lots to unpack here. First off…here’s the trailers we alluded to the other day in regards to Marvel’s Deadpool. Safe for work version up top, sweary word, not safe for work one below. Second…both are very solid, funny, violent and cute. Third (and maybe I should’ve lead off with this) I know next to nothing about the “Deadpool” character even though I’m...
Stonewall- Trailer
Last week we brought you the trailer for Michael Bay’s upcoming film 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi in which I begged the question of whether or not we realllllly want Michael Bay being the filmmaker to bring the intricacies of Benghazi to the big screen. No sooner did that rhetorical question go unanswered when today the trailer for Roland Emmerich’s film Stonewall, which focuses on the Stonewall riots of 1969 in which...
Deadpool Teaser Trailer For the Real Trailer
Folks, we are through the rabbit hole in terms of movie advertising. The clip above is a teaser for a trailer. That’s right. It’s an advertisement letting people know they can see the full green band and red band trailers for Marvel’s Deadpool movie tomorrow. While this is sadly not all that new (Superbowl Commercials are teased weeks in advance) it’s also a pretty sad state of affairs in terms of satiating the “we want it now,...
