Here’s The Final Trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

I’ve been pretty open about the fact that I’m not enthusiastic about the upcoming Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice film.  Maybe it’s because of how much I absolutely loathed Man of Steel or maybe it’s just because I’m not really a fan of comic book movies in general (with the MCU films being an obvious exception) but it’s just hard for me to imagine Dawn of Justice actually turning out to be that good of a film.

And the first few trailers did little to change my mind.  The whole thing looked overdone and, to me, Ben Affleck looked more than a little silly in his Batman outfit.

But then the final Dawn of Justice trailer was released yesterday and you know what?  The final trailer actually works.  They should have released this trailer first.  In fact, maybe this should have been the only trailer they released.  Because, for the first time, Dawn of Justice actually looks like it could be a reasonably entertaining film.

Watch the trailer for yourself and see what you think!  Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will be released on March 25th.

It’s Time To Purge Again…Here’s The Trailer For The Purge: Election Year!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

2014’s The Purge: Anarchy was a wonderfully subversive political satire disguised as an action film.  Not only was Anarchy a huge improvement over the original Purge, it also introduced many filmgoers to Frank Grillo, one of the greatest tough guy actors since Robert Mitchum.

After the success of Anarchy, there was little doubt that there would be a third Purge film.  There was also little doubt that Frank Grillo would return.

And that time has finally arrived.  Earlier today, the first trailer for The Purge: Election Year was released.  And here it is!

The Purge: Election Year will be released on the 4th of July.

Here’s The Super Bowl TV Spot For Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of The Shadows

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Hi!  Captain American, Jason Bourne, and the X-Men weren’t the only ones to be featured in Super Bowl advertisements tonight!  The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles showed up as well.  And while I have less than zero desire to see this film, I know that there are plenty of people out there who disagree with me.  So, with those people in mind, here’s the ad for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows!

 

 

Here’s the Latest Trailer For Demolition!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Much like Miles Ahead, Demolition is another film that was briefly pegged as a certain 2015 Oscar nominee until its release date was moved back to 2016.  Jean-Marc Vallee’s follow-up to the wonderful Wild, Demolition features Jake Gyllenhaal as a recent widower who struggles to deal with his grief.

I have to admit that I’ve seen the first trailer for Demolition about a hundred times now (it plays before every film at the Alamo Drafthouse) and I’m kind of sick of listening to Gyllenhaal talk about that damn vending machine.  That said, I’ll watch Jake Gyllenhaal in just about anything.  If I could force myself to sit through Southpaw, I’m sure I’ll be able to handle Demolition when it opens in April.

Here’s the latest trailer for Demolition!  Unfortunately, it opens with that same endless vending machine monologue but it does go on to reveal that one of my favorite actresses, Naomi Watts, is in the film as well.  So, that’s a good thing.

Here’s The Trailer for Miles Ahead!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

With Miles Ahead, Don Cheadle both directs and stars as jazz legend Miles Davis.  Originally expected to be released at the end of last year, Miles Ahead is also a film that many of us were expecting to be a definite Oscar contender.  However, the film’s release was delayed, the Oscar nominations led to #OscarsSoWhite trending on twitter for the second year in a row, and Miles Ahead will finally be released in April of this year.

And here’s the trailer!  With a few notable exceptions — like Grand Budapest Hotel — it’s rare that anything too good is ever released in March or April.  But I remain cautiously optimistic, if just because of the pairing of Don Cheadle and Ewan McGregor.

Prepare To Cringe Your Way Through The Red Band Trailer For Green Room!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

OH MY GOD!

So, here’s the thing: there is an intense moment towards the end of the just released red band trailer for Green Room that is literally bone snapping.  I saw it, I heard it, and I literally threw my hands over my eyes and went, “Agck!”

Green Room is about a punk band who finds themselves fighting for their lives against Patrick Stewart and a bunch of Neo-Nazis.  The red band trailer (which you can watch below) is seriously intense!  Now I have to admit that I’ve reached a point of exhaustion when it comes to film violence but I’m still going to see Green Room because it was directed by Jeremy Saulnier, who previously directed the brilliant (and unapologetically violent) Blue Ruin.  Saulnier’s involvement promises that, at the very least, Green Room will be a hundred times better than Kevin Smith’s Red State.

Anyway, here’s the trailer!
