Season One of Lucasfilm’s Star Wars series The Mandalorian was divisive. Some loved it, others hated it. I’m in the camp that dug the episodic frontier western-in-space vibe. A friend compared it to Kung Fu, and though I wouldn’t have gotten there on my own, it’s an apt comparison. Anyway, Season Two of The Mandalorian will now officially release on October 30 on Disney+, and this news comes with a shiny new trailer.

'The Mandalorian' Trailer Pumps Up The Werner Herzog
The first trailer for the upcoming Disney+ Star
Wars series, The Mandalorian, was pretty damn
great. You know what would make it better? Upping the Werner Herzog content,
which is precisely what they did with this new trailer. Check it out below.

'The Mandalorian' Trailer: The First Look At The 'Star Wars' Bounty Hunter Saga

“Bounty hunting is a complicated profession, don’t you agree?”
So says the only dialogue spoken in the first trailer Disney+’s upcoming The
Mandalorian, delivered with laconic, laissez faire style by the one
and only Werner Herzog. And that’s all it needs. And I am all the damn way in.
Check it out below.

'Scorched Earth' (2018) Movie Review
If you’re in the mood for a direct-to-video post-apocalyptic
bounty hunter saga starring a former female MMA champ and helmed by the
director of Sliding Doors, and I know there are some of you
out there, Scorched Earth is 100% your shit. For the rest of
you, it may not have a place on your must-watch list. Unless you fall into that
first category, the Gina Carano-starring, Peter Howitt-directed sci-fi actioner
probably isn’t for you. Then again, I’m squarely in that camp, so, hell yeah.

promised.

Movie Review: 'Deadpool'
There’s been a lot of talk about how the new adaptation of
Deadpool would work. Last time we saw the Merc with the
Mouth on the big screen, in X-Men Origins: Wolverine,
was…not good. And with the brutal violence, sex, swearing, and fourth-wall
breaking the character is known for, fans were worried about how that would
translate to the big screen. There was a boost of confidence when we found out
it would be rated R, and the end result gives diehard
Deadpool fans something celebrate.

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.

Gina Carano Joins The 'Kickboxer' Remake
Who would have thought I’d be excited about a remake of
Kickboxer? But with a cast led by stunt badass Alan Moussi,
featuring former UFC champ George St. Pierre, WWE star Dave Bautista, and
original star Jean-Claude Van Damme as the wise mentor figure, you have my
attention. Still, I’d rather you call it anything else and just let it be a
Kickboxer remake, but now that Gina Carano has joined theparty, you can call it whatever the hell you want and I’m all in.

A Very Short 'Fast And Furious 6' Review
For “Fast and Furious 6” it’s like the producers sent me a
letter that said, “Dear Brent, What was ‘Fast Five’ missing?” And my answer
was, of course, a tank, Gina Carano, and stunts that completely ignore the
realities of physics. They’re response was, “We got you,” and it is fucking
awesome.

'Haywire' Movie Review
“Haywire”, the new action movie from director Steven Soderbergh, has a serious direct-to-video vide. But it’s like the classiest DTV movie you’ve ever seen. Not only is the cast so far over the head of this style of film—not many straight up action flicks feature names the size of Ewan McGregor, Michel Douglas, Michael Fassbender, and Antonio Banderas, some, but not many—but Soderbergh’s hand is readily apparent. He adds many of his trademark visual and structural flourishes to spruce up the joint. “Haywire” is full of recognizable color and musical themes, a narrative that jumps around in time, tricky camera moves and angles, intricate depth of frame, even down to a planning montage that is reminiscent of his “Ocean’s” movies. “Haywire” isn’t going to blow your mind hole, or make you think too hard about important issues, but, especially given the massive delays in getting a release (Soderbergh was able to shoot and unleash “Contagion” before “Haywire” would ever see the light of day), it is a solid revenge-tinged actioner, full of kick ass brawls, chases, and a sly, self-deprecating sense of humor.
