So, what does everyone think of the trailer for Goodnight, Mommy? For the past few months, people have been hyping this movie as one of the scariest movies ever made. The trailer certainly has its moments, nicely mixing obvious scares with moments of deep unease and ominous atmosphere. This is one movie that I will definitely be seeing as soon as it opens in theaters.
Here’s the latest promo for AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead! It doesn’t really tell us much about the show but it’s always fun to watch bad things happen to Los Angeles.
The 33 is an upcoming film about the 2010 Chilean mine accident. For those who may have somehow forgotten, 33 Chilean miners were trapped underground for 69 days. For those 69 days, the entire world was watching Chile and, when the miners were finally rescued, we were all briefly united in our happiness.
(Needless to say, that didn’t last long.)
Personally, I like the trailer for The 33 but I do kind of wish that the film’s producers had just had the guts to have everyone in the film speak Spanish, as opposed to going the heavily accented English route.
Here’s the trailer for the upcoming film, Spotlight. Spotlight is obviously being set up to be a potential Oscar contender but, to be honest, I have a feeling it’s going to be one of those “well-intentioned” misfires that will be familiar to anyone who follows the ups and downs of the annual Oscar race.
(Remember when everyone thought that Unbroken was going to win it all?)
That said, some would argue that Michael Keaton is owed an Oscar to make up for losing to Eddie Redmayne earlier this year.
Check out this trailer for the upcoming psychological thriller, Queen of Earth!
Speaking as someone who loves old school grindhouse and exploitation films, I really love the retro feel of this trailer. Consider me to be definitely intrigued.
Here’s the trailer for the second installment in The Maze Runner franchise. Did I like the first Maze Runner? According to the review that I posted on this site, I thought it was above average but I think it’s definitely telling that I can barely remember a thing about it.
Hopefully, The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials will be a little bit more memorable.
Watching this trailer for Experimenter reminded me that I still need to watch The Stanford Prison Experiment. As for Experimenter itself, I’ll watch Peter Sarsgaard in anything.
If nothing else, it’ll probably be better than The Tenth Level.
Below, you’ll find the last Hunger Games trailer ever!
The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2 comes to theaters on November 20th and I can tell you already that tears will flow from my mismatched, heterochromatic eyes when it’s all over. Much like Sharknado, The Hunger Games has truly become a part of our shared culture and it’s hard to imagine a world with no new installments on the horizon.
Watch the trailer below and then read Leonard Wilson’s review of the first Hunger Games.
And then after you read Leonard’s take, read Leon The Duke’s review.
And then check out my review of Catching Fire.
And finally, read my thoughts on the first part of Mockingjay!
Enjoy!
So, here we are. Nearly halfway through the year and we’re still waiting for a major Oscar contender to emerge. There’s been a lot of speculation about films such as Carol, Bridge of Spies, and Suffragette. However, this month, two new contenders have emerged.
One of those contenders is David O. Russell’s latest tribute to Jennifer Lawrence, Joy.
The other contender is Freeheld, which is based on a true story about lesbian homicide detective (Julianne Moore) who, after being diagnosed with cancer, fought a legal battle to allow her pension benefits to be left to her domestic partner (played by Ellen Page, who is due another Oscar nomination and probably should have won for both Juno and Super). Along with Page, both Julianne Moore and Steve Carell have been mentioned as possible nominees.
Check out the trailer below.
Let’s just be honest — Zipper is terrible title. But this upcoming film looks like it might be interesting, largely because it features Patrick Wilson playing a a man dealing with an ethical and political conflict.
Zipper opens on August 28th. Here’s the trailer!
