Zack Snyder's 'Army Of The Dead' Trailer Executes A Heist In Zombified Las Vegas
A heist movie, but make it zombies. I’ve heard much worse ideas, and that’s the basic premise behind Zack Snyder’s upcoming Netflix movie, Army of the Dead. While this first trailer doesn’t reveal much, it teases action, the undead, and the myriad problems that arise when those two elements collide. In short, it looks like a fine time. Check it out below.

Denis Villeneuve's First 'Dune' Trailer Is Brooding And Epic
I don’t know what movie is the one that’s going to get me back into a theater despite the global pandemic. But after this trailer for Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune, we have a new contender. Just watch.

Fantasia 2019: 'Master Z: Ip Man Legacy' Movie Review
This is an updated version of an earlier review.
This will surprise absolutely no one, but Yuen Woo-ping can stage the hell out of a fight. The guy is a legend for good reason. And he displays this particular skill front and center in his latest directorial effort, Master Z: Ip Man Legacy, which features choreography on par with some of his best. Inventive and thrilling, it runs the gamut from incredibly technical martial arts acumen to high-flying wire artistry that calls to mind his work on Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

'Master Z: Ip Man Legacy' Trailer: The Martial Arts Saga Continues With Max Zhang, Michelle Yeoh, Tony Jaa, And Dave Bautista
Max Zhang, Michelle Yeoh, Dave Bautista, and Tony Jaa in a movie directed by Yuen Woo-ping? If that doesn’t move you to watch Master Z: Ip Man Legacy, you probably don’t like action movies. And if that’s the case, why are you here? I kid, I kid. But in all seriousness, if this trailer is any indication, Master Z is going to be a barn burner. Check it out.

'Hotel Artemis' (2018) Movie Review
Hotel Artemis isn’t a movie I ever need
to think of again. But as a slice of pulpy sci-fi action, buoyed by a strong
performance from Jodie Foster and a great surrounding cast, writer/director
Drew Pearce (Mission: Impossible—Rogue Nation, Iron Man 3) delivers a fun little R-rated trifle.

'Hotel Artemis' Trailer: Jodie Foster Fronts This All-Star Sci-Fi Crime Thriller
In general, I pay pretty close attention to movies and movie
news. Shocking, I know. But I have to admit, I have only the vaguest
recollection of hearing the name Hotel Artemis. That
oversight has been corrected, however, thanks to this awesome new trailer for
the Jodie Foster starring sci-fi action crime thriller. This has my full
attention.

Iko Uwais, Dave Bautista, And Kumail Nanjiani Team Up For Action-Comedy 'Stuber'
Iko Uwais, Dave Bautista, and Kumail Nanjiani are not three
actors I automatically associate. Sure, I could see Uwais and Bautista team up
for a low-down DTV actioner. By the same token, I can imagine Bautista and
Nanjiani in a mismatched buddy actioner. But it looks like all three are about
to team up for an action comedy called Stuber.

This 'Blade Runner 2049' Prequel Short Has Dave Bautista Waxing Philosophical And Wrecking Dudes
Admittedly, I enjoy movies with large, sprawling mythologies
that don’t always stick to the confines of what we see on screen in a theater. I
also often enjoy promotional build up to movies that do things a little
differently, that add context or additional value to the movie. What I don’t
like is when that same supplementary material becomes required reading for said
movie. I don’t know that this is the case for Blade Runner 2049, but with a new prequel short, it’s starting to feel that way.
(You can read my more in-depth thoughts on the matter HERE.) That said, it’s
still pretty cool. Check it out below.

'Blade Runner 2049' Trailer: Guess What? This Movie Still Looks Incredible
As much as belong to the camp that Ridley Scott’s 1982
sci-fi classic Blade Runner doesn’t need a sequel—it’s a
goddamned masterpiece—I’ll cop to being all kinds of jazzed for Blade Runner 2049. It looks weird and mysterious and like an extension of
the original atmospherically, aesthetically, and tonally. Hell, even the score
sounds like an inevitable evolution of what came before. We have to wait until
October to actually see it, but this majestic new trailer should keep us
occupied for a few minutes.

'Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2' (2017) Movie Review
What’s the one thing Guardians of the
Galaxy, Marvel’s 2014 deep space adventure, is missing? That’s right,
Kurt Russell. Fortunately for everyone, writer/director James Gunn’s follow up,
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 rectifies that oversight with
a vengeance. Oh yeah, and there’s Baby Groot, who may be the most adorable
character to ever grace the silver screen.

'Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2' Trailer, Now With More A-Holes And Baby Groot
As much as I do enjoy a number of Marvel movies, 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy stands out as my favorite. It’s so different than everything else the comic book studio has produced, and the deep space high adventure is just so damn much fun. So, it’s understandable I’m psyched for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and the fact that it releases fantastic trailers like this latest one only stokes that fire.

First 'Guardians Of The Galaxy 2' Trailer Needs A Hug
Over the last couple of days, we’ve heard rumblings that our
first look at Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 might arrive with
Marvel’s latest joint, Doctor Strange. But lo and behold, we
don’t even have to wait that long, because a shiny new teaser just hit the airwaves.
Check it out below.

Jean-Claude Van Damme Joins Yet Another 'Kickboxer' Movie
We haven’t even had the opportunity to lay eyes upon
Kickboxer: Vengeance (fingers crossed for sometime this
year, which seems reasonable considering it’s about to debut at the Fantasia
Film Festival), but we’ve got even more of the rebooted
Kickboxer franchise on the way. To celebrate the Fourth of
July, none other than Jean-Claude Van Damme gave us a taste of what’s to come
by releasing a video of himself signing a contract for the sequel,
Kickboxer: Retaliation. Check it out below.

The First 'Kickboxer Vengeance' Footage Actually Looks Awesome
It took a lot of effort, but I’ve finally moved beyond my
initial shock and outrage that there is a Kickboxer remake
on the way and just accepted that Kickboxer Vengeance is
probably going to be a movie that I’ll be super into. Still a ways off, we’ve
now got our first look at footage, and I have to admit, I’m totally down.

'Kickboxer: Vengeance' Gets Some New Pictures And A Silly Hairdo
If the idea Kickboxer: Vengeance, a
reboot of Jean-Claude Van Damme’s 1989 classic Kickboxer,
simply one of greatest movies ever made, sounds like blasphemy, I think we’ll
get along just fine. Still, it’s happening whether we like it or not, and we’ve
got some new looks at the cast.

'Spectre' Movie Review
Spectre, the latest James Bond film,
begins with a blistering opening scene, the kind of action sequence that, when
you stumble across the movie on TV years from now, you’ll stop what you’re
doing and watch, even if you don’t stick around for the rest. Set in Mexico
City during a massive Day of the Dead celebration, the international man of
mystery tracks a target through the crowd of skull-mask clad revelers. Visually
striking, intricately staged, and beginning with a soaring, uninterrupted take,
it starts the movie out on a high note (though there’s a missed opportunity for
a singularly James Bond moment at the end). The ensuing film, however, never
quite measures up to this opening.

This 'Spectre' Trailer Is All Kinds Of Awesome
At this stage, I’m always going to get excited for a new
James Bond movie. That’s just a fact of life I’ve grown accustomed to over the
years. And it’s easy when they do things like drop this incredible trailer for
the next installment, Spectre. Seriously, just watch it and
try to keep your pulse under control, it’s no easy task, this shit is rad.
