I have to say, though, this trailer amuses the Hell out of me. It’s almost as if the trailer is trying to be snarky about the film that it’s advertising. I especially enjoyed the Saved By The Bell-style acting when Ana told the architect to stay away from her man and to call her “Mrs. Grey.”
And then, that ending.
“You’re pregnant, Mrs. Grey.”
Apparently, the doctor got the memo about Ana’s new name. So, that’s a good thing, I guess.
“Based on the real life experiences of writer and lead actor Dominique Purdy, this arresting new comedy explores Purdy’s real life experiences growing up as a person of color in LA and his run ins with police.
With 32 film festival wins to date, and an ever-increasing online fanbase, Driving While Black is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated comedy releases of 2018.
Dmitri is a pizza guy who would rather smoke weed and suffer for his art, but his mom and his girl won’t stop nagging him to get a real job. When he’s offered a gig mouthing off to tourists behind the wheel of a Hollywood “star tour” bus, it looks like everyone might get what they want. Trouble is, our man can’t seem to step out the door to get to the interview without endless complications: busted radiators, simple weed scores gone sideways and LAPD cruisers seemingly everywhere. Dmitri’s skill at going unnoticed by cops is honed by painful experiences growing up Black in L.A., but even his keen survival instincts won’t save him from the week from hell.
With a jovial swagger to its walking pace, Driving While Black is half comedy of errors and half hard-bitten realism, tucked into a sly treatise on 21st-century over-policing.”
Review:
I didn’t laugh, I didn’t cry…. but anybody that watches it will! The way Dmitri tells his story is so captivating, compelling, and funny at the same time is amazing! I went into this movie thinking it was a comedy, after watching I realized that is life. I got drawn in, literally hooked while watching!
Would I recommend this movie?
Yeah, drop your dollars as soon as you can! I mean as fast as you can see this movie! Do it!
Trailer:
If you want to get a glimpse of this great movie before you drop your dollars you can here!
Driving While Black will be in theaters February 1st and I highly recommend you seeing it!
Here’s the trailer for the upcoming film, Den of Thieves.
Den of Thieves will be released in theaters on January 19th, where it will provide counterprogramming for all the people who aren’t interested in catching up with the Oscar nominees.
It’s the first trailer for Avengers: Infinity War!
Remember how we all got chills when we heard James Spader saying, “I’m going to show you something beautiful…” during the Avengers: Age of Ultrontrailer? That’s how I feel when I hear, “There was an idea…” at the start of this trailer.
My latest edition is dedicated to Eurohorror! Some of these trailers are not going to be safe for work. Of course, you probably shouldn’t be watching trailers at work in the first place. But, in case you are, don’t let your boss catch you. If you do get caught and lose your job, feel free to leave a comment under this post and let us know about your experience. We love to hear that we’re changing lives.
The Awful Dr. Orloff (1962)
The Awful Dr. Orloff was directed by Jess Franco and is considered to be the first Spanish horror film. It was also an international success that helped to launch Franco’s amazingly prolific career.
2. The Girl Who Knew Too Much (a.k.a. Evil Eye) (1963)
This film, from director Mario Bava, is considered to be the first true giallo film. When it was released in the United States, it was retitled Evil Eye.
3. The Shiver of the Vampires (1971)
From French director Jean Rollin comes this story of vampires hiding in grandfather clocks. (Actually, there’s more to it than just that. But that’s the scene that everyone seems to remember.)
4. Tombs of the Blind Dead (1971)
Arguably, this was the first Spanish zombie film.
5. The Grapes of Death (1978)
Again from director Jean Rollin, this is the first French zombie movie.
6. The Living Dead Girl (1981)
Finally, one last trailer from Jean Rollin. You might not be able to guess it from the trailer but The Living Dead Girl is actually one of the most poignant films ever made.
From what I’m hearing, I, Tonya could be a dark horse Oscar contender. There does seem to be general agreement that, at the very least, Margot Robbie will be a contender for the Best Actress Oscar.
The film comes out in December. Here’s the first teaser!
Y’all have probably already seen this trailer. Though I’m currently trying to take a mini-vacation from social media this week, I still do check every morning just to make sure that all of my friends in Canada are okay. When I checked this morning, everyone — and I do mean everyone — was talking about the new trailer for Black Panther.
Just in case you haven’t seen it yet, here’s what everyone’s so excited about!
In Bucket of Blood, Dick Miller plays, for the first time, a character named Walter Paisley. Walter is an artist who discovers that the dead make the best models!
2. Little Shop of Horrors (1960)
Dick Miller returned to play a supporting role in Little Shop of Horrors, where his co-stars included a young Jack Nicholson.
3. The Terror (1963)
Both Jack Nicholson and Dick Miller returned for The Terror and they were joined by Boris Karloff.
4. The Raven (1963)
At around the same time, Karloff and Nicholson were co-starring with Vincent Price and Peter Lorre in The Raven.
5. The Masque of the Red Death (1964)
Price would return for The Masque of the Red Death.
6. The Tomb of Ligeia (1964)
To my knowledge, this film was the final time Corman directed Vincent Price, though he produced a few more films that featured him.
What do you think about all the trailers, random director with a tommy gun?
