Okay, I nearly missed this commercial because I don’t like beer. In fact, if Leonard hadn’t said something on twitter, I totally would have missed it. That would have been a shame because this might be the best commercial of this year’s Super Bowl.
Basically, it starts out like a Bud Light commercial. But then suddenly …. well, just watch it:
Game of Thrones will be returning to HBO soon. The Bud Knight, meanwhile, appears to be gone forever….
Leonard already shared the first trailer for Hobbs and Shaw!
Here’s the new Super Bowl spot, which just dropped while I was writing about the Captain Marvel spot.
This one looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun to me but then again, I have a weakness for big men who drive fast cars.
Marvel Studios is being a little bit mean this Super Bowl, offering us intriguing hints of what’s to come, as opposed to full scale trailers. Earlier, they gave us about 19 seconds of Avengers: Endgame. And now, here’s 30 seconds of Captain Marvel.
If you don’t have 30 seconds to spare, this teaser features Brie Larson being a badass and Samuel L. Jackson with hair and two eyes.
Here’s the sure-to-be controversial teaser for Season 3 of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale.
Oh hell yeah!
Here’s the latest teaser for Avengers: Endgame!
Things look kinda dark but at least Rocket’s still with us.
Wonder Park is this year’s first big animated film. It’s due to be released on March 15th. The trailer, which dropped today for the Super Bowl, looks cute enough. To be honest, I’d probably be a little bit more excited about it if it was a PIXAR film but, in general, I love animated films so I’ll be seeing this one.
Here’s the trailer!
It’s Super Bowl Sunday here in the States, which means that it’s time for me to watch the commercials while everyone else watches the game. Every year, all of the big upcoming movies drop new trailers during the Super Bowl. It’s kinda like the studios are saying, “Sorry for all the crap we dumped on you in January. Believe it or not, we’ve actually got some movies worth seeing coming out!”
So, let’s get things started tonight by sharing the Us Super Bowl commercial! Us is Jordan Peele’s follow-up to Get Out. Judging from this trailer, it would appear that Us is even more of a straight-up horror film than Get Out was.
Seriously, this trailer is hella creepy! Check it out:
“They’re us.”
Agck!
It’s always a bit difficult to judge whether a film is going to be good based on its trailer. There have been great films that have had boring trailers. There’s been some really bad films that had great trailers. Just recently, I was way excited to see White Boy Rick, because the trailer was so good. And then I finally saw the movie and bleh. It was bland. It was boring. These things happen.
At the same time, I was also really excited to see American Hustle, again based on the trailer. And then I saw it and I loved the movie even more than the trailer! So, those things happen, too!
With that in mind, though, I do have to say that I really liked the trailer for The Isle. As you can see by watching it below, the trailer is full of atmosphere and hints that this could be a well-done, dreamlike horror film. The trailer itself tosses about comparisons to The Wicker Man and The Witch and, from what they included in the trailer, I can kind of see it. I can also see possible hints of A Field In England, which is also a good thing!
So, with that in mind, here’s the trailer for The Isle. I like it!
When I heard that there was a trailer out for the Ted Bundy biopic, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile, this was not what I was initially expecting to see:
Now, if you go over to YouTube and read the comments under this trailer, you’ll see that there are a lot of people who are upset because they feel that the trailer portrays notorious serial killer Ted Bundy as being some sort of hero. While I can understand the concern, I think those people are missing the point.
Yes, the trailer portrays Bundy as being a smooth-talking sociopath who was apparently having the time of his life while killing women, escaping from jails, and fleeing the police. That’s largely because that’s the way that Bundy, in his interactions with others, tried to present himself. That doesn’t mean that the film itself is meant to excuse or make light of Bundy’s crimes. Here’s a statement from MW Film Studios, which was left underneath the film’s trailer:
Seems like a lot of people are missing the point. The reason why the trailer seems to painting him as some charismatic good guy is precisely because Ted Bundy was a very manipulative person who on the surface, one could believe was really that kind of person, but underneath that was someone cold and calculating. Like the person, the trailer is purposely misleading.
Given the fact that this film was directed by Joe Berlinger and any biopic of Ted Bundy would seem to be destined to end with him getting executed in Florida, I am more than willing to give this film the benefit of the doubt. Zac Efron’s appealing but somewhat blank prettiness would seem to make him the ideal pick for the role of Bundy. At the very least, I’ll wait for the initial reviews from Sundance before jumping to any conclusions about whether the film is properly anti-Bundy.
(Incidentally, Joe Berlinger not only directed this film but also Conversations With A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, which is currently streaming on Netflix. Judging from the docu-series, I doubt Berlinger’s film is going to present Bundy as being anything other than evil and manipulative.)
Hi, everyone!
I have a theory about movies, specifically about the people who go to see the movies. My theory is that audiences really like to watch Keanu Reeves kill people.
I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that Keanu seems to be pretty centered in real life. He’s one of the few celebs about whom you never seem to hear anything negative. Whenever Keanu’s in the news, he’s either volunteering at a homeless shelter or he’s in the park feeding ducks. You never hear about Keanu acting obnoxious and pulling a star trip on anyone. He seems to be at peace with both the world and his place in it. While all the other celebs are on twitter being grumpy, Keanu seems like he should be hanging out on a ranch and having a beer with Kurt Russell and Jeff Bridges.
In short, real world Keanu seems to have reached a state of perfect zen. So, it’s kind of fun to watch him tear through these action movies, battling either computer viruses or international mobsters. The man who once known as Neo is now best known as John Wick. When we first met John Wick, he won our hearts by avenging a dog. Judging by the just released trailer of John Wick 3, he’s still a friend to animals.
He’s also still got people looking to kill him, of course. Judging from the trailer, John Wick 3 looks like it will be an action spectacular. You have to wonder about the mercenaries and killers who keep getting sent after Wick. I imagine that, when they find out what they’re expected to do, a lot of them quit on the spot. No one can kill John Wick.
And if you need proof, just check out the trailer below!
