It’s time to get a peek at The Last Jedi y’all! And gotta admit I’ve been watching this trailer since it dropped yesterday. ALL THE QUESTIONS! Can’t wait ’til December, amirite?
And am I the only one who loves that Kylo (PUNK BITCH) is smaller than Luke in the poster? Yeah baby. That’s the way.
I won’t squee about all the coolness in this trailer; I’ll wait ’til later to do that. So for now just enjoy the trailer, and take a look after the jump for the official images!
The Detroit riot of 1967 was no joke. “Police confrontations with patrons and observers on the street evolved into one of the deadliest and most destructive riots in the history of the United States… 43 dead, 1,189 injured, over 7,200 arrests, and more than 2,000 buildings destroyed.” The film Detroit looks at what happened. Synopsis:
Annapurna Pictures has released the first trailer for the upcoming film DETROIT. From the Academy Award winning director of THE HURT LOCKER and ZERO DARK THIRTY, DETROIT tells the gripping story of one of the darkest moments during the civil unrest that rocked Detroit in the summer of ‘67.
Be prepared to be terrified, horrified, and heartbroken. I’ll bring the Kleenex. Detroit schools you on August 4th, 2017.
Accio Mr. Napkinhead! (What? Like you don’t love The Holiday.)
The Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them sequel has found their Dumbledore – and it’s Jude Law! Honestly, that sounds like brilliant casting; he’s able to play sweet (The Holiday), savage (The Young Pope), and smart (Genius), which all rolled together is Harry’s headmaster to a T.
As Dumbledore and the nefarious Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) are Of An Age, it’ll be very cool to see those two go head-to-head. I’ll get the popcorn y’all!
Down for some Fatal Attraction jealousy throwdown? Yeah you are! Because Katherine Heigl and Rosario Dawson are about to Bring It in Unforgettable. Synopsis!
Tessa Connover (Katherine Heigl) is barely coping with the end of her marriage when her ex-husband, David (Geoff Stults), becomes happily engaged to Julia Banks (Rosario Dawson)—not only bringing Julia into the home they once shared but also into the life of their daughter, Lilly (Isabella Rice). Trying to settle into her new role as a wife and a stepmother, Julia believes she has finally met the man of her dreams, the man who can help her put her own troubled past behind her. But Tessa’s jealousy soon takes a pathological turn until she will stop at nothing to turn Julia’s dream into her ultimate nightmare.
The trailer looks like the film is trying to break from the usual “new chick makes former chick go bonkers” trope, and with Night NurseMimi Marquez Dawson in the picture, I’m hoping there’ll be a layered story. So let’s go! Continue reading →
Nutshell: A sweet, simple tale of a little girl who is far from simple, but very sweet. Director Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer) and an extremely talented cast elevate this trope-heavy tale, making it a extremely watchable slice-of-life story. And I’m not just saying that because I fell in love with the one-eyed cat. Grade: A-
Story: “Quiet damaged hot guy” Frank (Chris Evans) tries to raise his crazy smart, crazy adorable niece Mary (Mckenna Grace) and give her a “normal” life outside of mathematical think tanks that could swallow her youthful joy whole. But when his mother decides that Mary is destined for greatness, things start to get complex. Continue reading →
Let’s continue the comic-book film trailers, shall we? With Atomic Blonde‘s new trailer, there’s New Order and Depeche Mode strike just the right late-80s vibe, and there’s plenty of John Wick-esque mayhem to keep action fans happy. Though as much as I dig Kanye’s stuff, I was hoping for more straight-up Mode, and less sampling. It is supposed to be 1989 in the film, after all. Synopsis!
An undercover MI6 agent is sent to Berlin during the Cold War to investigate the murder of a fellow agent and recover a missing list of double agents.
I may feel differently once I finally dig into the graphic novel, but I hope not. But right this minute? I’m digging this blend of action, tongue-in-cheek deadpan, and espionage thriller. I’m digging it a lot.
And I mean “comic” in more than the ha-ha term. Though there seems to be a lot more levity in Ragnarok than there’s been in prior films. Peep that helmet! That’s the helm that launched a thousand cosplayers, my friends.
Why the tonal facelift? Well, I can only think of one reason; Ragnarok comes out in November, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hits theaters next month. So? I’m betting there’s an end-credits tidbit in GG2 with Thor running into our favorite band of interstellar misfits (and also Groot.) Placing my bets right this minute.
Check it: even the title font for Ragnarok is a trippy 70s flashback. Remind you of anything? And hello Led Zep as the trailer soundtrack. Could Star Lord’s musical predilections have rubbed off on the God of Thunder? Only time will tell…
But right now, I’m just happy that Loki has finally washed his hair. Dude, I know you’re the God of Chaos, but that doesn’t mean you have to walk around like every day’s the day before you get your shampoo on. And with Thor’s new short ‘do, you’re the hair heir apparent. Make him proud.
The first time I saw a trailer for the Tupac Shakur biopic All Eyez on Me, I got chills. I sat in the theater with my mouth hanging open, as Demetrius Shipp Jr. embodied the late rapper. It was absolutely breathtaking.
Now this new trailer has even more harkbacks, with Biggie, Suge Knight, and an incredible message of empowerment and strength. If the movie is half as good as these trailers have been, I’m front and center, darlin’.
Y’all – Y’ALL. Scootaloo in tha house! Okay, so it’s Maddy Peters – the lovely lady who voices Scootaloo – and she’ll be here in Baltimore for BronyCon. But hello – Scootaloo in tha house!
Michelle Creber (aka Apple Bloom) was absolutely wonderful and amazing at last year’s BronyCon… Dare I hope? Dare I even think? I dare – I dare! Can we wish upon a star and maybe see a Cutie Mark Crusaders gathering this year? Who knows what BronyCon has in store, but either way, getting to see Maddy Peters and hear all about what it’s like to voice Rainbow Dash’s favorite sidekick will be a high point for me at this year’s shindig. You too? Uh, DUH.
