Since today would have been the 101st birthday of director Edward D. Wood, Jr., it seems appropriate to dedicate this week’s edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse Trailers to him!
Below …. can you handle six trailers for six Ed Wood films!?
Don’t ask me to explain why the M3Gan 2.0 Super Bowl spot was the same as the teaser that’s already been out for a few days. I’m still trying to understand why there’s been so few Super Bowl movie trailers this year. It feels like the end of an era.
How To Train Your Dragon is getting a live action remake. I loved the animated film but I’m not sure why we need a live action version. I mean, the dragons are still going to be animated, right? Anyway, here’s the Super Bowl teaser!
It’s Super Bowl Sunday, which means we’ll be getting a lot of trailers and commercials for upcoming films. I just saw a spot for Jurassic World: Rebirth. Here’s the spot!
First off, we’ve got the trailer for Head, starring the Monkees! This film was co-written by Jack Nicholson.
2. The Great Rock and Roll Swindle (1980)
In the first film that Julien Temple made about the history of the Sex Pistols, Malcolm McLaren presents himself as being the genius behind the group and tries to keep viewers from noticing that Johnny Rotten refused to have anything to do with the film.
3.Stunt Rock (1978)
I know next to nothing about this film but it was directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith and that’s often a good sign.
4, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978)
Featuring Donald Pleasence singing the longest version of I Want You ever recorded!
5. The Decline of Western Civilization (1981)
From director Penelope Spheeris comes the ultimate documentary about 1980s Los Angeles punk rock.
6. The Decline of Western Civilization Part 2: The Metal Years (1988)
The previous Mission Impossible film was one of the best movies of 2023 and the upcoming sequel is one of the films that I can’t wait to see in 2025. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing how the franchise wraps things up. If nothing else, the Mission Impossible films stand as a reminder of what the Bond films were like before they all got whiny and somber.
Here’s the teaser for Mission Impossible — The Final Reckoning!
We’ve just devoted a month to horror here at the Shattered Lens.
However, even we will admit that there are good films are not horror films. For instance, there are the films that have been made about an adorable bear named Paddington. Paddington’s latest adventure is Paddington in Peru, which features him traveling to …. well, it’s right there in the title.
