No Time To Die is the 25th James Bond film and apparently, it’s going to be Daniel Craig’s last. I’ve been pretty critical of Craig’s interpretation of Bond and I hated SPECTRE but the Super Bowl teaser for No Time To Die actually looked kind of good.
So, let’s hope for a film that will leave us stirred and not shaken!
Hell yeah! This teaser is literally one of the main reasons I’m watching the Super Bowl this year! I’m a little bit worried that the movie is going to be like, “Yes, Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow is dead but here’s a replacement that we won’t have to pay as much!” but still, I can’t wait to see it.
Seriously, if I could be any MCU character, I would be the Black Widow. (I also would have shoved Jeremy Renner off that cliff in Endgame. Seriously, I’m still mad about that scene.)
Let’s just be honest. It’s not a Super Bowl without a spot for the latest Fast and Furious film.
Here’s the spot for Fast and Furious 9. Yes, Han is back. These movies are kinda ludicrous but I just can’t help but love them.
I was kind of skeptical about Mulan but this actually looks pretty exciting. Mulan will be in theaters on March 27th.
Here it is! The Top Gun: Maverick Super Bowl spot!
This spot admittedly doesn’t really tell you a lot about the film. Tom Cruise is back, but we already knew that. Val Kilmer shows up for a second or two. Lots of airplanes, of course. And really, that’s probably all that this preview needed to be effective.
Me: “Am I the only person in the world who doesn’t like SpongeBob?”
World: “Yes!”
Me: “Oh. Okay.”
Well, regardless of how I might feel about SpongeBob, the rest of the world seems to be excited about his upcoming movie. Here’s the Super Bowl spot!
I guess the point of this trailer is that Sonic The Hedgehog is really, really fast.
At least he doesn’t look no longer looks like he’s going to kill someone, so that’s an improvement. Seriously, film twitter takes a lot of criticism but this is one of those rare cases where the folks at Paramount should be thanking everyone who complained online.
Well, it’s Super Bowl Sunday and you know what that means! It’s time for everyone to watch the commercials. As we do every year, we’re going to post every single teaser and trailer that drops during the big game. Actually, it may be a little bit easier than usual this year because, apparently, there aren’t going to be as many trailers as there have been in the past. It’s not cheap to advertise during the Super Bowl and a lot of studios apparently decided that money could be put to better use elsewhere. It makes sense, really. Why spend millions to run one commercial during the Super Bowl when you can just drop the ad on YouTube and then have your star tweet out the link?
That said, we should still have a few trailers to look forward. For instance, here’s the Super Bowl teaser for A Quiet Place 2!
Since Jon Krasinski’s character died at the end of the first film, I’m going to assume that this sequel is going to be, at least partially, a prequel. So, we’ll get to see how the Earth got invaded and all that good stuff. I thought the first A Quiet Place was absolutely brilliant so I’m definitely looking forward to seeing if the sequel can live up to it!
Well, another Sundance Film Festival has come to a close! Here’s what won at this year’s festival. If this year is like other years, a few of the films mentioned below will also be players once Oscar season begins later this year. For instance, just from what I’ve read, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Minari‘s name come up quite a bit between now and next January.
