Here’s The Trailer For The Covenant


Here’s the trailer for Guy Ritchie’s latest film, The Covenant.

In this film, Jake Gyllenhaal plays a veteran who returns to Afghanistan to rescue his interpreter from the Taliban.  This seems like the type of film that critics are going to hate but which will be better appreciated by audiences.  Considering the number of allies that the U.S. abandoned in Afghanistan and the fact that everyone knows that the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan was hardly our greatest hour, I have a feeling that we’re going to see a lot more films like The Covenant.  Just as how the 80s and the 90s were full of films about vets who returned to Vietnam to “finish the job” and rescue POWS, there’s undoubtedly going to be a lot of films about vets returning to Afghanistan and saving those who helped them from the Taliban.  For many people, the movies are going to provide the second chance that we’ll never get in a real life.

The Covenant will be released on April 21st, 2023.

Here’s The Trailer For The Boogeyman!


Another year, another Stephen King adaptation.

The Boogeyman is based on a short story that King wrote in 1973.  Obviously, King is a big name in horror but how can any film called Boogeyman hope to top the work of Ulli Lommel?

Here’s the trailer:

Here’s The Trailer For Murder Mystery 2!


The first Murder Mystery was an entertaining and even rather sweet mix of comedy and mystery so I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that both Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston have returned for Murder Mystery 2.  Apparently, in the years since the first film, Nick and Audrey have started their own detective agency and they’ve even taken that trip to Paris!  However, an invitation to an island wedding put them right in the middle of another mystery!

If this film is successful, I imagine we’ll get several more Nick/Audrey films.  And why not?  Sandler and Aniston had a really fun chemistry in the first film.  Let’s hope the same is true for the second one.

Here’s the trailer for Murder Mystery 2!

Here’s The Trailer for Renfield


The trailer for Renfield has been getting a lot of attention today.  Due to be released on April 14th, Renfield stars Nicholas Hoult as the title character, who was Dracula’s unfortunate servant.  However, most of the attention generated by the trailer has been directed towards Nicolas Cage playing the role that many feel he was born to play.

Check out the trailer:

This could be good, despite the fact that I usually have my doubts about films that come out in April.  I like Nicholas Hoult.  I love Nic Cage.  So, we’ll see hop for the best and we shall see what happens!

Here’s The Trailer For Plane!


Here’s the trailer for Plane, starring Gerard Butler!

Sadly, this is not a sequel to the 30th best film of 2020, Money Plane.

Still, it’s always nice to see Gerard Butler doing stuff.

The film will be in theaters on January 13th!  That’s actually Friday the 13th so make sure that you don’t end up sitting next to the Voorhees kid.  He likes a windows seat, from what I hear.

Here’s The Frightening Trailer For Evil Dead Rise!


The Deadites are back!

Here’s the trailer for Evil Dead Rise!  Word of advice: don’t even think about watching the trailer with all the lights turned off.  Agck!

Apparently, Evil Dead Rise is a sequel to the Evil Dead reboot but not necessarily the original Evil Dead films.  Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell are credited as being executive producers, which might mean something or it might not.  As far as I can tell, Campbell will not be appearing in this film.  (If he does appear, they’ve done a great job keeping it a secret and Campbell’s done a great job telling everyone that he’s not in the movie.)  The Evil Dead reboot itself was certainly not bad, though, being the horror snob that I am, I’ll always prefer the original films.  It’s hard to beat the combination of Lovecraft-style horror and Campbell/Raimi goofiness that set the original trilogy apart from so many other horror franchises.

Evil Dead Rise will be released to theaters on April 23rd!

Here’s The Trailer for Transformers: Rise of the Beasts


Here’s the trailer for the latest Transformers movie.

Like Bumblebee, this film is a prequel to the other Transformers films.  This film is set in 1994 so I guess viewers can look forward to grunge and flannel to go along with the robots or whatever it is the Transformers are supposed to be.

Here’s The Trailer For Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny


The Dial of Destiny?”

I can see why people are just calling this Indiana Jones 5.

Hopefully, this film will give Harrison Ford a chance to close out the Indiana Jones saga with a bit more panache than he was allowed in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.  Still, it just feels wrong the Spielberg isn’t directing.

Anyway, here’s the trailer.  It’s always nice to see Harrison Ford acting grumpy.

Here’s The Trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3!


To be honest, I’ve been a little bit bored with the MCU lately.  I mean, the Spider-Man films were fun and WandaVision was certainly better than I was expecting it to be but, for the most part, it’s been hard to shake the feeling that, post-Endgame, the MCU has lost a bit of its spark.  Endgame was such a logical place to stop that everything that’s come after it has felt a bit superfluous.

Still, if anyone can respark my interest in the MCU, it would be James Gunn and the Guardians of the Galaxy.  And, fortunately, they’ve got a new film coming out next year!  Here’s the trailer, which seems to promise that the Guardians will continue to poke subtle fun at the conventions of the MCU while also using those conventions to their advantage.

At the very least, it should have a good soundtrack.
