It’s FRAT BROS GONE CRAZY! Check out the trailer for the new film, Goat. Not only does it feature Nick Jonas-inspired mayhem but it also has James Franco!
For the record, Goat is not meant to be a Neighbors-style comedy. According to most of the early reviews that I’ve read, it’s actually a pretty dark look at toxic masculinity. While I’m usually not that interested in films about Bros Gone Wild, I will definitely watch it just to see what strange spin James Franco brings to his latest role.
So, I just watched the trailer for Jack Reacher: Never Go Back and I was about to make my standard Tom-Cruise-Is-Creepy joke but then I remembered that I liked the last Mission Impossible film. And, before that, he was great in Edge of Tomorrow.
If you can look past his affiliation with Scientology (which, admittedly, is not an easy thing to do), Tom Cruise really does well in these action roles. It’s hard to explain why but he pulls it off. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t look like your typical action star and yet, he’s still totally believable doing action star stuff. Maybe it’s because he actually seems to be having fun in these roles, as opposed to certain other grim-faced actors.
Who knows?
Anyway, here’s Tom Cruise in the trailer for Jack Reacher: Never Go Back.
Last year, at the end of Sharknado 3, viewers were given the opportunity to decide the fate of one of its stars. When we last saw Tara Reid’s April, a huge chunk of the space shuttle appeared to be crashing down on top of her and viewers were being asked to vote whether April would live or die.
Personally, I voted to kill her. I thought that killing off April would make Sharknado 4 a far more edgier film. I imagined that her ghost could frequently appear to taunt Ian Ziering, chanting: “You let me die….you let me die….”
Did the rest of the viewing public agree with me?
The answer can be found in the latest teaser for Sharknado 4!
Here’s the latest trailer for the film that has already been named by many as the front runner in this year’s Oscar race!
Nate Parker’s The Birth of a Nation tells the story of Nat Turner’s slave rebellion. They went crazy about it at Sundance and you’ll be able to judge it for yourself in October.
I will be the first to admit that it feels strange to admit that I’m actually looking forward to a movie featuring Shia LaBeouf.
(You ever notice how I always say stuff like that, despite the fact that Lawless wasn’t terrible and I enjoyed Fury about as much as I can enjoy any movie about war. Despite the fact that he’s actually appeared in a lot of decent films, I will always think of Shia as being the whiny kid from The Battle of Shaker Heights. That is the revolting power of Shia LaBeouf…)
However, I am very much looking forward to American Honey!
And you know why?
Because it’s the latest film from Andrea Arnold, who previously directed the absolutely exquisite Fish Tank. Fish Tank is one of those films that I watch and I just see myself, who I’ve been and who I could have become. It’s an amazing film.
Will American Honey be just as amazing?
I hope so! Check out the trailer below:
Okay, before you watch the trailer for War On Everyone, there are three things you should know!
Number one, this is a red band trailer. That means that, if you watch it at work or in a public place, you will be immediately arrested and deported to Vermont. That is not something you want to risk because, as we all know, Vermont is an evil, evil place.
Secondly, this is the latest film from the brilliant Irish director, John Michael McDonagh. McDonagh directed two of the best films in recent cinematic history, The Guard and Calvary! (He’s also the brother of Martin McDonagh, who directed both In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths.) From what I’ve heard, War on Everyone is another McDonagh triumph!
Third, Michael Pena and Alexander Skarsgard play corrupt cops! After what happened to his honest cop in End of Watch, can you blame Pena for going bad?
Anyway, here is the red band trailer! It’s full of cursing and all sorts of fun stuff.
Is Tim Burton ever going to make another good film?
That’s a good question. For whatever reason, we are always expected to get excited whenever Tim Burton announces that he’s directing a new movie. Every year, someone says that Burton’s latest movie is going to be an Oscar contender. Somehow, Burton has gotten a reputation for being one of our greatest directors, despite the fact that it’s been a while since he’s really done anything that memorable.
(I did like Frankenweenie but both Dark Shadows and Big Eyes put me to sleep.)
(Tim Burton probably should have, at the very least, received several Oscar nominations for Ed Wood but that movie came out a long time ago.)
Anyway! The latest Tim Burton film that people are getting excited about is Mrs. Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children. This is being called Tim Burton’s X-Men. It’ll probably be better than Apocalypse.
You can watch the new trailer below!
Pete’s Dragon looks a lot less dangerous than those dragons from Game of Thrones.
Pete’s Dragon will be released on August 12th.
Hi, everyone!
So, usually, I post my latest edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film trailers on Sunday. However, yesterday was the final day that Cabaret was scheduled to be performed down here, at the Winspear Opera House, in Dallas. Jeff and I caught the final matinée performance and it was absolutely wonderful!
However, it also meant that I did not have time to do my usual Sunday morning posting.
Still, I am nothing if not dedicated! So, here below, are 6 late trailers for this wonderful Monday! Admittedly, these trailers may feel a little bit random. There’s no real theme to be found … or maybe there is.
Randomness can be a theme.
Right?
Anyway…
1) The Dark (1979)
I actually own a couple of DVD boxsets that feature The Dark but I’ve never actually gotten around to watching the movie. Say what you will about the apparent cheapness of the special effects, the monster does look like he could serve as potential nightmare fuel.
2) The Evil (1978)
It feels appropriate to follow up The Dark with The Evil. I’ve never seen this one either, but it’s apparently a haunted house film. There’s some evil involved.
3) The House Where Evil Dwells (1982)
On the other hand, I have seen The House Where Evil Dwells. Oh my God, is it ever a boring movie! But the trailer’s kinda fun.
4) Ghosthouse (1988)
Despite what the credits may say, Ghosthouse was not directed by Humbert Humphrey. This is an Umberto Lenzi film. This trailer is actually pretty tame by Italian horror standards but it’s still graphic enough for me to suggest that you not watch it at work or if you’re disturbed by fake-looking gore.
5) Zombie 5: Killing Birds (1988)
I actually reviewed Killing Birds on this site a while ago. I’ve always liked this trailer. It’s full of atmosphere and it has an almost dream-like intensity to it.
6) Teenage Exorcist (1991)
And finally, let’s end things with the trailer for Teenage Exorcist!
So, I guess we did kind of end up with a theme here — evil monsters, haunted houses, and stuff. I’m glad that worked out!
Well, damn. That’s not nice…
It’s not just sharks that you have to worry about!
Apparently, the trucks are planning on turning against us as well!
Check out the trailer below.
Monster Trucks comes out next January, which is traditionally the time of year that the studios release the films in which they have absolutely zero faith.
