Comic-Con 2022: Here’s The Trailer for Shazam! Fury of the Gods!
The first Shazam has a loyal legion of fans, many of whim cite it as being perhaps the most underrated comic book movie of the past few years. Watching the trailer for Shazam! Fury of the Gods, which just dropped at Comic-Con, I think those fans are going to be happy with the sequel.
As for myself, I like Zachary Levi so I’m hoping for the best. His monologue at the start of this trailer made me smile.
Nothing’s more important than family.
Comic-Con 2022: Here’s The Teaser For John Wick: Chapter 4
Coming to us straight from Comic-Con 2022, here is the teaser for the fourth film starring everyone’s favorite killer, John Wick! Keanu Reeves is back in John Wick: Chapter 4! And even better, Bill Skarsgard is with him!
(Or, actually, against him….)
Without further ado, here is the teaser!
Who would have thought that Keanu Reeves, who is apparently the world’s nicest movie start, would also turn out to be the most convincing action hero not named Tom Cruise?
Here’s The First Poster For Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer!
Listen, I have no idea what films are going to be nominated for this year’s Oscars or next year’s Oscars. I really don’t. I can guess but I certainly am not a 100% certain about anything.
However, I do know that it seems like Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is being set up as next year’s big Oscar bait film. Along with featuring an incredible cast and dealing with an important subject, it’s also directed by a filmmaker who many (especially on Twitter) consider to be overdue for some Oscar love, Christopher Nolan.
Admittedly, of course, it takes more than Twitter excitement to turn a film into a hit and Oppenheimer could be a hard sell when it comes to filmgoers who are less into history and auteurs than the members of Film Twitter are. (Let’s not forget what happened with Damien Chazelle’s First Man a few years ago. Or, for that matter, Nolan’s Interstellar.) Personally, though, I’m rooting for the film. I like Christopher Nolan. I like Cillian Murphy. I like Emily Blunt. I want them all to succeed.
(Of course, I imagine a lot of the coverage will center on Robert Downey, Jr. and Florence Pugh and the phenomenon of two MCU starts appearing in a non-MCU film. Such is the way of most mainstream film coverage nowadays….)
The first poster for Oppenheimer was released today and it leaves little doubt that it’s a film about a man who was at the center of the development of one of the greatest and deadliest weapons ever created. A shadowy J. Robert Oppenheimer stands in the flames of his own creation.
Oppenheimer will arrived in one year, on July 21st, 2023.
It’s nearly over! Here’s the trailer for Halloween Ends!
David Gordon Green’s Halloween trilogy is coming to an end and, as a fan of the classic Halloween franchise, all I can say is that it’s about time.
Here’s the trailer for Halloween Ends.
Here’s The Trailer For Curse of the Kraken!
Below, you’ll find the trailer for Curse of the Kraken. Humanity has been dumping trash in the ocean for so long that the Kraken has decided to toss it all back onto dry land. It’s also decided to use its tentacles to create some cartoonish gore.
Yes, this is apparently a real movie. And who knows? With the right attitude, it could be fun. I’ll watch just about anything.
Here’s The Trailer for She Said!
I have one last trailer to share tonight and it deals with a far more important subject than either The Munsters or After Ever Happy.
She Said is about the New York Times’s investigation that brought down Harvey Weinstein and which launched the #MeToo movement. It’s an important story for a number of obvious reasons. Myself, I’ll be curious to see if the film is honest about how many well-known people, in both Hollywood and Washington, looked the other way when it came to Weinstein and who only turned on him once it was obvious that his time as a Hollywood and political power broker was over. Today, of course, everyone is quick to mention that they always hated Harvey Weinstein but that didn’t stop those same people from thanking him in their Oscar speeches or accepting his money when they wanted to run for office. A true account of Harvey Weinstein’s crimes will mean calling out a lot of people who, even after all this time, are not normally called out. I hope this movie has the guts to do that.
Here’s the trailer.
Here’s The Trailer For After Ever Happy!
We’re still doing this, huh?
After Ever Happy is the latest installment in the After films. Hardin and Tessa continue to try to make their love work. One would think that the fact that they’re both totally shallow and uninteresting would make things simple but the course of true love is never smooth. (I imagine that’s why Batman’s never had a lover who survived more than two movies.) What type of title is After Ever Happy? Like what the Hell does that even mean? I could understand After Happily Everafter, even though that would still be a clunky title. But After Ever Happy? Also, could someone please tell the actor playing Hardin that it is possible to occasionally have a non-sullen facial expression. Hardin is rich, spoiled, and in love and yet he’s still such a whiny little bitch. And now he’s writing about it? Seriously …. GAG!
What?
Oh yeah, you better believe I’ll be seeing this movie.
Here’s the trailer for After Ever Happy!
And here’s a picture of Batman and Robin, because why not?
Here’s The Trailer For Rob Zombie’s The Munsters!
Yesterday, the trailer for Rob Zombie’s film reboot of The Munsters was released. Judging from the reaction online, you would think that it was some sort of crime against …. well, I guess humanity wouldn’t be quite the right way to put it. Still, I’ve seen people who are far older and I would think far more mature than me saying that this trailer shows that Rob Zombie has no respect for “the legacy of The Munsters.” Weren’t The Munsters just a dumbed down version of The Addams Family?
Anyway, I just watched the trailer and it really doesn’t look that bad to me. Of course, it doesn’t really look that good either. It looks like it’ll be one of those in-between sort of films that people talk about for a week and then forget about. One thing I do appreciate, though, is that it looks colorful. I get the feeling that Rob Zombie enjoyed doing whatever it was that he ended up doing with this film and, really, Zombie deserves to enjoy himself on occasion.
Anyway, here’s the trailer!
Scenes I Love: L.Q. Jones Meets Robert De Niro in Casino
Yesterday, the great western character actor, L.Q. Jones, passed away. He was 94 years old.
Though he was probably best known for the films that he did with Sam Peckinpah and for directing the darkly humorous sci-fi film, A Boy And His Dog, Jones also appeared in Martin Scorsese’s 1995 film, Casino. Playing the role of county commissioner Pat Webb, Jones went toe-to-toe with Robert De Niro and more than held his own. Reportedly, Scorsese asked Jones to rewrite much of his dialogue, in order to give it a western authenticity,
From Casino, here is a scene that I love:
Though Ace would disagree with me, he really should have just taken Webb up on his suggestion to give his brother-in-law a “position further down the trough.” That pride was not only Ace’s undoing but also the end of Bugsy Seigel’s vision of Las Vegas.
Interestingly enough, this scene always makes me think of the scene where Sen. Pat Geary (also of Nevada) tried to bully Michael Corleone in The Godfather Part II. In that film, the Corleones were able to put the senator in his place. In Casino, however, it turns out that Pat Webb is right and Ace and the gangsters in Kansas City never really do figure out how things work in Vegas.
