The Stanford Prison Experiment is a film that I’m looking forward to seeing, even though I got a bit of a strange vibe off of the trailer below. Look for it in theaters on July 17th and on VOD on July 24th!

After reading the reviews of Cannes and viewing the just-released trailer below, I’m going to make this prediction right now. Sicario is going to get a best picture nomination.
Katniss Everdeen returns in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2! If that title seems to be a little long and unwieldy, why not just do what we do hear at the TSL bunker and call it, “The Hunger Games: Jennifer Lawrence Kicks Ass…Again.”
Why is there already a teaser for a film that’s not even supposed to come out until February of 2017? I have no clue. Judging from how little is actually in this teaser, I’m assuming that this little scene was filmed during the shooting of 50 Shades of Grey, just in case there was demand for a sequel.
Personally, I think they should call this movie Fifty Shades Darker: Return To The Puckered Love Cave but that might just be me.
Anyway, here’s the teaser for 50 Shades Darker:
They played this trailer at the Alamo Drafthouse shortly before the start of Ex Machina. It appears to be a French version of The French Connection. Who knows? It might be good. At the very least, it’s a reminder for American audiences that Jean Dujardin is capable of playing someone other than a silent film star.
Here’s the first trailer for Black Mass, the upcoming film in which Johnny Depp plays notorious Boston crime boss and most wanted fugitive, Whitey Bulger. Judging from this trailer, this looks like it might be Depp’s Oscar performance.
Seriously, check this out!
Dammit, is Tomorrowland going to be any good or not? A third trailer for the film was released yesterday and I still can’t make up my mind. If I had to guess, I’d say that this will probably be technically impressive and narratively traditional. But who knows? I choose to have hope that it’ll be great.
Here’s the new trailer for The Gift, in which it appears that Jason Bateman and Rebecca Hall end up getting stalked by some guy named Gordo. This could be good or it could be bad, it’s hard to tell from the trailer.
On the one hand, the story looks rather generic and predictable and has a Boy Next Door feel to it. (“Oh! A first edition!“) It looks like it would be a fun Lifetime movie but maybe not quite as memorable when seen on the big screen.
But Jason Bateman, Rebecca Hall, and Joel Edgerton! Seriously, that’s a great cast!
I’m going to see it just to see if I can finally bring myself to forgive Bateman for being so mean to Juno.
So, as you probably heard, AMC is doing a spin-off of The Walking Dead. It’s going to be called Fear the Walking Dead, which is not exactly the greatest title that I’ve ever heard.
(Seriously, Fear the Walking Dead sounds like it should be the title of a low-budget, Asylum-produced mockbuster version of The Walking Dead...)
But, despite that imperfect title, Fear the Walking Dead is still highly anticipated by Walking Dead fans. (Is Chris Hardwick going to host Talking Fear?) Apparently, it’s going to be a prequel, dealing with the early days of the zombie outbreak and maybe it will even offer up some clues as to why it all happened in the first place. Even better, it’s going to take place in Los Angeles so we won’t have to deal with any dodgy accents.
Here’s the first promo for Fear the Walking Dead. It aired last night during the Walking Dead‘s season finale. It really doesn’t tell us much about the show itself but, at the same time, it does have a nicely ominous feel.
So, if you’ve ever really wanted to watch Jake Gyllenhaal get the crap beat out of him, you’ll probably enjoy the trailer for Southpaw. Judging from the preview, Jake is apparently playing a boxer who gets beat up a lot and who loses his wife and nearly loses his daughter. Jake really did deserve an Oscar for Nightcrawler. Southpaw doesn’t look like an Oscar contender but it does look like another chance to Jake to prove his versatility and encourage us all to forget his unfortunae starring turn in the terrible Love and Other Drugs.
