I loved the first Insidiousand I enjoyed the second one. I’m still not totally convinced that we need a third one but we’re getting one anyways. Apparently, it’s a prequel so we’ll get a lot of Conjuring-style period detail along with all of the usual scares.
Here’s the latest trailer for Tomorrowland. I still can’t decide whether I’m excited about seeing this film or not. The trailer has hints of brilliance but there’s a part of me that’s worried that this is going to turn out to be yet another summer film that’s more concerned with winning the Oscar for visual effects than in telling a particularly memorable story.
This latest trailer feels like it could be for a big budget version of Atlas Shrugged. Perhaps George Clooney is John Galt?
Director Abel Ferrara’s thinly disguised film about French rapist Dominique Strauss-Kahn is finally getting an American release. On March 27th, those of us in the states will finally get a chance to see and judge Welcome to New York for ourselves. Here’s the trailer.
So, this looks like it might be good. Ex Machina is the directorial debut of novelist and screenwriter Alex Garland. Judging from the trailer, it appears to be another film about humans getting too close to a machine. If nothing else, it has a great cast: Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac, and Alicia Vikander.
The improbable career of Tommy Wiseau continues with a supporting role in the upcoming film Samurai Cop 2. Judging from the trailer, this appears to be one of those films where we are supposed to be impressed by the filmmaker’s ability to intentionally make a bad film.
I never saw the first Samurai Cop. Will I be able to follow the sequel?
Last year, Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut Lost River premiered in Cannes. And, the film’s reception was not exactly positive. However, judging from the trailer below, Lost River may be enough of a pretentious mess that it simply has to be seen. The film will finally be available for viewing on April 16th!
And finally, here’s one final Super Bowl preview to share with all of you. Now, I have to be honest. I never watched Heroes. That guy who was always screaming in the commercials got on my nerves. I did however enjoy bugging Dazzling Erin by continually saying, “Save the cheerleader, save the world” during the entirety of the show’s run.
Awwwww …. good memories.
Anyway, in the form of a 13-episode miniseries, Heroes is making a comeback on NBC and a lot of people online are excited about it. Me, I’m still trying to get caught up on Agents of SHIELD…
