Edgar Wright's 'Baby Driver' Trailer Starts The Song Over

As excited as I am for Baby Driver—it is an Edgar Wright movie after all, and he’s yet to do me dirty—I wasn’t super into the first trailer. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still drooling over the movie, I just didn’t adore that first look like apparently everyone else in the world. (I didn’t hate it; I simply didn’t love it.) What I do wholeheartedly dig, however, is this new Baby Driver trailer.

Syfy Greenlights 'Death Race 2000' Style Throwback 'Blood Drive'

Anytime Syfy greenlights an awesome sounding TV show, I have to take it with a grain of salt. They don’t have the greatest track record of late. The Expanse is based on one of the best sci-fi books I’ve read in recent years, so I’m trying to be optimistic. And now they’ve given the go ahead to another promising series, Blood Drive, a ‘70s-inspired, grindhouse-esque show about a badass car race.

This 'Mad Max: Fury Road' Trailer Gives You A History Lesson

It’s been 30 years since the last Mad Max movie, and if you somehow forgot that, or it’s just been a while since you’ve revisited the original trilogy, director George Miller and company are back with another trailer for the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road that pays homage to what came before. But don’t fret, it’s still batshit crazy and full of a grip of cool new footage.

'Furious 7' Movie Review: Over The Top And Entertaining As Hell

Watching Furious 7, the latest installment of the adrenaline-fueled Fast & Furious franchise, you get the distinct impression that, when faced with a creative choice, the filmmakers paused to ask themselves, “What’s the most insane, over the top thing we can do here?” And then they went ahead and did that. For a series of films that, especially over the last few chapters, has been a continual escalation in physics-defying stunts, Furious 7 takes it to an entirely new level, and the result is a damn lot of fun.

This Japanese 'Mad Max: Fury Road' Trailer Is Like Your Adrenal Glands Getting Kicked In The Nuts

It just really needs to go right ahead and be May 15 already. Or at least I just need to sleep from now until Furious 7 on April 7, from then until Avengers: Age of Ultron on May 1, and then until. Mad Max: Fury Road hits on May 1. After that I can stay awake for a while. Although, after watching this new international Fury Road trailer, sleep maybe hard, as this is like your adrenal glands just got kicked in the nuts.

Strap In For This Extended 'Furious 7' Trailer

If you’re familiar with this site at all, you know we’re rather excited for Furious 7 around these parts. Every subsequent piece of promotion released just ups the ante even further, making this look like the most bananas action movie we’ve ever seen, and that includes this new extended trailer.

These 'Furious 7' TV Spots Take You From Fast To Fury To Crazy

If what we’ve seen thus far is to be believed, Furious 7 certainly does take crazy to a whole other level. Seriously, this is like everything I’ve ever wanted out of a movie. There are cars parachuting out of planes, cars jumping from skyscraper to skyscraper, and these two new TV spots just make me drool uncontrollably.

This 'Mad Max: Fury Road' International Trailer May Light You On Fire

We’ll have to wait until May 15 to see if it lives up to it, but if we’re judging George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road by the trailers, this is going to be the best movie ever made. It’s got post-apocalyptic battlewagons, crazy-ass warlords of the wasteland, insane stunts, explosions, cars jumping out of fire, classical music, Tom Hardy, and a badass one-armed Charlize Theron. I can’t imagine wanting anything more out of a single motion picture, and this new Japanese trailer delivers all of that in just over a minute.

This 'Furious 7' Trailer Doesn't Play By Your Rules

Okay, with the sheer amount of promotion we’ve seen for Furious 7 over the last couple weeks, you’d think it was right around the corner, not two months off. But I’m completely okay with that, and any day that a ridiculous action movie I’m super stoked about wants to drop an insane new trailer, well that’s a good day in my world. This may be an extended version of what you saw during the Super Bowl, but who cares, it’s still way, way nuts.

This 'Furious 7' Super Bowl Spot Ups The Insanity

There aren’t even words to describe the Furious7 spot that premiered during the Super Bowl yesterday, there just aren’t. A car jumps from inside one building (I don’t know how it got there, and I don’t particularly care), lands in another building, and then falls out the other side of building number two. It’s like they came up to me and said, “Hey, what’s the one thing you’ve always wanted to see in a movie?” And when I told them, they took that and amplified it exponentially. Yes, please.

This 'Furious 7' IMAX Trailer Has Everything You'll Ever Need, From Blood Feuds To Skydiving Cars

Dear Sweet Baby Jesus, can is just go ahead and be April 3 already? Everything that happens between now and when I can finally see Furious 7 (or Fast 7, or The Fast and the Furious 7, or whatever the hell you want to call it because I’ll be there no matter what the title is) is largely inconsequential. And I mean everything. Just to tease me, they released this new IMAX trailer and, well, yeah, I’ll just let you take a look, it speaks for itself.

Watch 'The Fast & The Furious 7' Trailer, It's Ridiculous And Amazing

Bless, you, The Fast and the Furious franchise, bless you. Why wouldn’t you start the first trailer for Furious 7 by parachuting cars out of an airplane? That’s the logical choice to us. Why is there a bus with automated machine guns? Why wouldn’t you ram a car into another car in order to propel Paul Walker forward into yet another vehicle, all at dangerously high speeds?

'Need For Speed' Movie Review

“Need For Speed” has set itself up as an homage to badass low-budget car movies from the 1970s, even going so far as to explicitly evoke that image in the marketing. And the action is definitely more “Vanishing Point” than “Fast and Furious.” Hell, there’s even an early scene where the main character, Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul) and his crew watch Steve McQueen tear around San Francisco in “Bullet” at a local drive-in theater. You know right away what aesthetic they’re going after. This isn’t intended as a knock on the Vin Diesel-centric franchise, those films have been fun—especially the last two—but this is a throwback different time, with a stoic, man-of-few-words hero, and is more about American muscle and Italian rarities than it is about supped up imports with gaudy paint jobs and low-profile tires. Even though “Need For Speed” is 40 minutes too long, and everything that’s not driving is utter garbage, this is still a reasonably good time.

'Getaway' Movie Review

 

Maybe I’m wrong, but I get the distinct impression that I’m the only person in the free world who is actually going to give “Getaway” a positive review. We’re not talking about a great work of cinema here, and in many ways this is a terrible, terrible movie. I completely recognize this fact, but that doesn’t mean that this is a film without certain charms, and, taken on its own terms, this is a successful endeavor. Produced on the cheap by After Dark Films, most known for their low-to-no budget “films to die for,” “Getaway” is essentially the action equivalent of their horror fare. The only reason this didn’t go straight to video is because the only three real cast members are Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez, and John Voight.
