Here’s The Trailer for Hide and Seek!

Posted on October 23, 2021 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Coming the November, I guess.

Apparently, it’s all about Jonathan Rhys Myers trying to find his brother to make amends for how his brother was mistreated whe they were younger. It turns out that, sometimes, it’s better to not make amends.

Here’s The Trailer for Red Notice

Posted on October 21, 2021 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Earlier today, Leonard shared the trailer for Uncharted. At the same time that the Unchartered trailer was dropping, the trailer for Red Notice was being released as well. To be honest, I kind of suspect that they’re both the exact same film. Maybe Red Notice is the European edit….

No, actually, they’re both separate films. But judging from the trailer, they both appear to take place in the same cinematic universe. Anyway, Red Notice stars Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot as rival things who end up woring for an FBI profiler who is, of course, played by Dwayne Johnson. It’s always interesting to me that whenever you real life FBI agents, they’re always these kind of nebbish accountant types but whenever they show up in a movie, they’re always played Dwayne Johnson. Dwayne Johnson’s never had to keep track of his money because, if he ever did run out of cash, the people of the world would come together to send him as much extra money as they could. Everyone understands that the world would be a much worse place without Dwayne Johnson.

I guess Red Notice is a wacky comedy time and Netflix has a pretty uneven history when it comes to wacky comedy but I do like all three of the stars so who knows?

Here’s the trailer!

Here’s The Trailer for Being The Ricardos

Posted on October 19, 2021 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Javier Bardem and Nicole Kidman play Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in a film written and directed by Aaron Sorkin …. well, I was excited until I typed that last part. I love Javier and Nicole but this seems like the type of story that will just bring out all of Sorkin’s worst instincts. Sorkin desperatey needs a director like David Fincher to help him reign in his more earnest and preachy tendencies.

But, you know what? Let’s give it a chance! Enough with a negativity, Bowman! I hope this is a good movie. Oscars for everyone!

Here’s the trailer:

Here’s The International Trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife!

Posted on October 18, 2021 by Lisa Marie Bowman

To be honest, I was under the impression that this film had already been released, just because it seems like I’ve been hearing about it for years. But no, actually, it won’t be coming out until next month, on November 24th. Personally, I would think that a Ghostbusters sequel would be a natural Halloween release but I think this film is going more for the family film audience than the horror spoof audience.

Well, regardless, here is the international trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife!

Here’s The Trailer For The Lost Daughter

Posted on October 18, 2021 by Lisa Marie Bowman

The Lost Daughter, which is the directorial debut of Maggie Gyllenhaal, made quite a splash on the festival circuit and it’s being spoken of as a darkhorse Oscar contender. Olivia Colman, who is quickly becoming an Oscar favorite, could pick up another nomination. The destined-to-be-nominated someday Jessie Buckley could pick up her first.

As for the film itself, it’s about confronting dark secrets from the past, which is always an interesting subject matter. We’ll all get a chance to judge the film for ourselves when it’s released in December.

For now, here’s the trailer!

Here’s The Trailer For The Black Phone!

Posted on October 14, 2021 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Not all horror comes out in October!

In fact, just yesterday, a trailer dropped for a horror film that will be coming out in February! So, happy Valentine’s Day, I guess.

Anyway, the trailer is for The Black Phone, which is the latest film from Scott Derrickson. It’s a return to his horror roots after his detour into the MCU. It appears to be about a kidnapping and the kidnapper is Willy Wonka! Oh, wait a minute …. that’s Ethan Hawke.

The trailer looks kind of creepy. Derrickson’s Sinister is still one of the scariest films of the past ten years. Plus, Ethan Hawke should get all the roles that seem like they were originally written for Johnny Depp. So, I’ll give this one a shot when it comes out next year.

Here’s the trailer:

Lisa Marie’s Grindhouse Trailers: 6 Trailers For The Second Thursday In October

Posted on October 14, 2021 by Lisa Marie Bowman

We are rapidly reaching the halfway mark of our October horrorthon here at the Shattered Lens. By the time we reach the end of the first half at midnight on Saturday, we will have published over 200 posts. During the second half, we’ll publish …. well, let’s not speculate. You never know. The world could end tomorrow and, as a result, we might never post again. What’s important is that I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished so far and I look forward to seeing what we accomplish during the rest of the month!

(That said, I’m hoping for another 250 to 300 or so posts. 500 FOR OCTOBER! It seems like a reasonable go. We’ll see!)

Anyway, today seems like a good time for another edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse Trailers! And, since today is Jack Arnold’s birthday, it only seems appropriate that today’s edition deals with giant creature features!

Q: The Winged Serpent (1982)

From director Larry Cohen, it’s Q The Winged Serpent! I’ve seen this movie and it’s undeniably entertaining. On the one hand, you’ve got the serpent flying around and looking all dangerous. Then you’ve got David Carradine and Richard Roundtree kind of sleepwalking through their roles. And then, suddenly, Michael Moriarty shows up and gives this brilliant, method-influenced performance. It’s an odd film but it’s hard not to like that Claymation flying serpent.

2. The Giant Spider Invasion (1975)

From Wisconsin’s own Bill Rebane, here’s the trailer for The Giant Spider Invasion! This is probably Rebane’s best film. If you’re trying to frighten your audience, you can’t go wrong with a giant spider.

3. Empire of the Ants (1977)

What’s the only thing scarier than a giant spider? A giant ant, of course! This film is from Bert I. Gordon, a director so obsessed with films about giant monsters that he was actually nicknamed Mr. BIG. (Of course, it also helped that those were his initials.)

4. Food of the Gods (1976)

Speaking of Bert I. Gordon, he was also responsible for this film, Food of the Gods. Like Empire of the Ants, it was based (however loosely) on a novel by H.G. Wells. Two old farmers feed the food of the Gods to the local animals and things do not go well. For some reason, a football player played by Marjoe Gortner decides to investigate. Shouldn’t he be practicing for the big game? Gordon missed an opportunity here by not having a giant-sized Marjoe Gortner.

5. Night of the Lepus (1972)

As frightening as those previous trailers were, can anything prepare you for the terror of killer rabbits!? This movie is proof positive that rabbits look cute no matter who they’re killing.

6. Village of the Giants (1965)

In the end, though, the greatest monster will always be man. By the way, this is another Bert I. Gordon film. Beau Bridges turns into a giant and plots to conquer the world. Only a young Ron Howard can stop him.

I hope you’re having a wonderful October! Never stop watching the shadows!

Here’s The Trailer For Home Sweet Home Alone!

Posted on October 12, 2021 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Good Lord, people, how hard is it to make sure that all of your kids are in the car before you leave for the airport!? You make out a list, you look in each car, you put a check mark next to each name, and you don’t go anywhere until every name has a check! It’s not that difficult!

Anyway, Home Sweet Home Alone is the new version of Home Alone. It’ll be premiering on Disney Plus in November so that will be your chance to watch this new kid, Max, be traumatized for the rest of his life. Here’s the trailer:

Seriously, if you’re going to totally abandon your child for the holidays, you should at least make sure that you abandon them in a big house. Sure, they might have some problems with the burglars but that’s to be expected, I guess.
