With the split reaction among fans and critics for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Warner Bros. and DC are betting a lot on their next DCEU film with Suicide Squad. The film is set out as a contender to Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy with hopes to reestablish the trust with their fans and to show that DC films is a force to be reckoned with. At this year’s San Diego Comic Con, many people were thrilled to see the trailer for Wonder Woman and a little bit of footage from Justice League that showed Warner Bros. Pictures might…

Still suffering from a Comic Con hangover? Well, let us remind you of all the trailers that came out over the week and the weekend. There are a few independent films, action, horror, and documentaries, but we filled ‘This Week in Trailers’ to the brim with Comic book films and TV shows galore. You might want to plant yourself down; it’s going to be a long one. The Edge of Seventeen https://youtu.be/_D8LiwkhP-w The story follows a teenage girl, Nadine (Steinfeld), who has written a suicide note. Her teacher played by Woody Harrelson, gets a hold of the note which he…

So it’s been about 11 years since we’ve had Jason Bourne grace our movie screens with enough espionage and action to give any fan of the spy genre a big o’stiffy. The studios tried out Jeremy Renner to continue the franchise and we all know how that turned out. Well, Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon decided to come back to the action fold that made them both household names in hopes to bring the legacy of Jason Bourne back to the glory days it once was. Was it worth it? Let’s talk about that. The story starts off with Bourne…

The man behind shows like Ray Donovan and Southland, Cheo Hodari Coker, was not afraid to speak his mind to Entertainment Weekly about the importance of Luke Cage in today’s world. Netflix’s Luke Cage has a strong sense of relevance with our current state of racial tension between the African American community and police in the US in connection with the shootings in St. Paul, Minnesota, Baton Rouge Louisiana, and the sniper ambush in Dallas, Texas. Coker told Entertainment Weekly: There’s never been a time in history where having a bulletproof black man, in terms of just looking at how…

We took some time off but the trailers haven’t stopped. A different type of musical, an animated film voiced with Liam Neeson, a fight for love, kickboxing, and a few other trailers you might like to see. Sit back and enjoy the previews: A Monster Calls I got from this trailer a powerful sense of someone trying to make a statement. It presented itself as a movie about a boy named Conor O’Malley (MacDougal) who is about to lose his mother to terminal cancer, only to find himself in an even worse situation. No one understands him and he is…

So the new female led Ghostbusters film is upon us. The movie has a lot to live up to since so many people have been vocal on how much the original met to them. But before we get the review started, let’s go over a few things. This is a remake – not a reboot. It’s taking some of DNA of the original and adding a bigger budget and much more special effects. Why was this movie made? Because it’s fucking Hollywood. Hollywood is in the business of taking whatever familiar property and trying to make a buck. In the…

So. What perfect timing for 2016… Officials are losing their minds, the streets are littered with bullets and bodies of the mis-fortunate and the common man/woman are losing their rights like it’s going on sale. But let’s talk about The Purge: Election Year instead and see if we have a good film on our hands or just another “meh” fest in a 105 minute movie. Director James DeMonaco thought it would be a good idea to have a third go at The Purge franchise that he’s built. If you’ve seen the trailers and have seen The Purge: Anarchy, then you know…

Mark your calendars for February 23 2018 because that’s when we’ll get the long waited sequel to Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim. I know it’s still quite a bit a ways, but given that the film is finally picking up steam (with the casting of breakout star Jon Boyega and director Steve S. DeKnight taking the helm) the reality of this movie finally getting made is upon us. Even though Del Toro is onboard only as a producer – I’m sure the film will still have that Del Toro touch that made the first one so much fun watch. Boyega’s…

We’ve got a little bit of some zombies, couple of rebellions, lovers on the run mixed with a heaping pile of death, action and intrigue. These are the trailers you are going to want to watch.  American Honey Star (Lane) is a teenage girl who meets a group of other teenagers that travels and sells magazines, and joins them without second a thought. The clip starts off looking carefree and full of youthful promise, while inspiring us to try and remember when that might have been important to us at that age. Set before us is a group of people…

Let me start off by talking about Nicolas Winding Refn and the way mainstream views his work. Refn came on the American scene with the film Drive starring Ryan Gosling. It was a hit critically and commercially for an indie film. The mainstream wanted more of that but got Only God Forgives that was very polarizing for audience members. With that being said, don’t expect a film like Drive in The Neon Demon. In fact, expect the same polarizing attitude and something totally different, but in a good way, for this film. Now, let’s get on with the show. As…
