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…

God damn, god damn there were a lot of trailers. A Couple of coming of age stories, some for the kids and some for the horror fans. Sit back and cool off in front of the fan as these previews let you forget, or remind you that summer is here. Let Me Make You a Martyr I was immediately drawn in by this trailer. Having been a Sons of Anarchy fan, part of it has to do with seeing three members from that series cast in this film. There is also no doubt that Marilyn Manson has a mysterious air…

It’s just not a good year for anyone. Today news is coming in that actor Anton Yelchin of Star Trek fame and long line of other films like The Green Room, Fright Night, Alpha Dog, was killed in a freak accident. TMZ.com is reporting that the actor died Sunday morning after he was crushed by his own car. His body was found in the driveway of his San Fernando Valley home between his vehicle and a brick mailbox that was attached to a security gate. Police do not suspect foul play. Yelchin was only 27 years old and will surely…

Shoes, weird shit happening and India style perversion. It was a slow week in new trailers but we were able to find the ones that you might want to check out. Let the previews begin.  Kicks What happens when you get a fresh pair of Jordans but later get yo’ shit stolen? Well, you pack up your homies and look for the foo that robbed you. This is the story of Brandon, as the coming age film follows him on his quest to retrieve his shoes. That might sound boring, but the way the film presents it takes you on…

After my last article about Bryan Singer, you might be asking yourself, “Well Mark, how would you do the X-Men franchise?” And I’d respond with, “First, I would tell Fox to take a break from X-Men and let five years go by so that the previous films can be somewhat a distant memory. Second, sit your lethargic fanboy ass down (as if you weren’t) and let me shoot an idea to you.” 6. X-Men: Hope The first installment of a two-part trilogy would start off with the mutants and X-Men fully established in the world. After the events of House…

Lots of trailers to get to in this week’s trailer roundup: Collide Haven’t had enough of Nicholas Hoult? Well, Open Road Films has got the fix for you. Collide follows him as he does whatever he can to save the life of his ill girlfriend played by Felicity Jones. Hoult must return to the criminal underworld he left behind a long time ago in order to find quick cash for Jones’ treatment. But when Hoult crosses the path of a dangerous gangster, played by Sir Anthony Hopkins, Jones is now put in danger and it’s Hoult’s mission to save her.…
