'Last Night In Soho' Trailer: Edgar Wright Returns With A Psychological Horror Film

Okay, that’s how you use a slowed-down maudlin version of a well-known popular song in a movie trailer. Well played, Edgar Wright, well played. This is, of course, in reference to the use of the use of Petula Clark’s “Downtown” in this trailer for his upcoming 1960s-set horror movie, Last Night in Soho. Which looks like a fine time. Check it out below.

'Baby Driver' (2017) Movie Review



Once again I find myself in the camp where I’m the curmudgeonly asshole who doesn’t like the movie everyone else loves, but I don’t particularly care for Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver. It’s fine, just fine, and that’s as high as the praise from this general vicinity is going to get.

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.

'The World's End' Movie Review


 
Everyone has that friend that’s not always easy to get along with, that you don’t see for extended periods, and when you do, you spend most of your time questioning why you still put up with this person. In Edgar Wright’s new film, The World’s End—the close of the so-called Cornetto Trilogy that began with Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz—that role is filled by Gary King (Wright’s frequent co-conspirator Simon Pegg). He’s loud and crass, he’s ingested every drug you can name, along with a few you can’t, but most of all he’s stuck in the past, fixated on one glorious night in 1990.
