It’s Super Bowl Sunday and you know what that means! Commercials, commercials, and more commercials.
(And, apparently, some football game.)
As I did last year, I’m going to do my best to post every movie teaser that airs during the Super Bowl. Things started off tonight with this intriguing teaser for Red Sparrow! Jennifer Lawrence plays a Russian agent in this movie, which has been rated R for torture, violence, sex, language, drugs, and everything else that can win a film an R-rating.
Remember that sweet song your Mother sang to you as a child?
Cast:
Reine Swart as Chloe van Heerdon
Brandon Aruret as Dr. Timothy Reed
Shayla-Rae McFarlane as young Chloe
Preview:
Chloe is overwhelmed by the birth of her first child. The incessant crying of her baby, the growing sense of guilt and paranoia sends her into depression. With a heightened urge to protect her son, Chloe sees danger in every situation. She starts to hear voices, the humming of a childhood lullaby and sees flashes of a strange entity around her child. Convinced that the entity is real, Chloe will do everything in her power to protect her son. Is she haunted by evil or is it just the baby blues?
Review:
Oh, Child, we got so much to talk about! Your Mama is not crazy, you are! Or are you? Or was you just twisting my mind?
Or is your Mom really crazy!
Or your Grandma?
That sweet little song you Mom sang to you as a child… you know… that comforting song that always puts you into dream land… yeah, this movie might make you sleep different tonight!

Would I recommend this movie:
Yep, absolutely! One of the best horror/thriller movies I have seen this year!
Where can you see it?
The Lullaby is opening in theaters and on VOD March 2, 2018
Oh, BTW:
No Spoilers, but Chloe is back….
So far, this trailer has been getting mixed reaction on twitter. I can kind of see why. It doesn’t quite have the same amount of oompf as the trailers for the first movie. I guess the real question is whether or not a Pacific Rim film is really a Pacific Rim film if Guillermo Del Toro isn’t directing.
We’ll find out in March!
Judging from the majority of the comments on YouTube, a lot of people do not seem to understand that Eli Roth’s upcoming Death Wish is a remake of an earlier film. And the few who do realize it seem to be under the impression that it’s either a remake of one of the Punisher films or a rip-off of The Foreigner.
I mean, seriously, that’s kinda pathetic. There’s no excuse not to know your film history.
Anyway, here’s the 2nd trailer for Death Wish! It doesn’t really look that good but hopefully, it’ll still be better than The Brave One!
AGCK! Those smiles are creepy!
Otherwise, Truth or Dare basically looks like a remake of It Follows with a little bit of The Ring tossed in. I have a bad feeling that this is going to be one of those movies where the entire plot is dependent on everyone being beyond dumb but as long as it’s scary, who cares?
You know, I think we all know that the Slender Man movie is not going to be that good but the trailer, which dropped earlier today, certainly is creepy!
Here’s the trailer:
(Myself, I’m hoping the 2019 will see the release of a related film called Fat Man, to be followed in 2020 by Slender Man vs. Fat Man.)
I have a theory that the Taken films, Non-Stop, and the upcoming The Commuter are really just documentaries about the every day life of Liam Neeson. I think Neeson retired from acting in 2009 and since that time, he’s been just been traveling around the world and beating people up.
That’s my theory anyway.
The Commuter is the latest film in the Neeson documentary series. In this one, he gets involved in intrigue on a train. This movie is scheduled to come out in a few weeks and, since it’s a January release, we will probably have forgotten about it by March.
Yes, it’s time for this again.
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.
Anyway, here’s the trailer…
(If you need a refresher on what this is all about, why not check out my reviews of Fifty Shades of Grey and Fifty Shades Darker?)
Preview:
“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, Half Magic.
