This 'John Wick 3' Trailer Puts A Target On John Wick



So, he’s thinking he’s back…for a third time. This May, Keanu Reeves puts on his meticulously tailored suit, scruffy beard, and shoots everyone in the head. Again. I couldn’t be more excited. And to that end, watch the latest trailer for John Wick: Chapter 3—Parabellum.

This 'John Wick 3' Trailer Prepares For War And Cute Dogs


Oh dang, I got a late start this morning and what happens? There’s a damn John Wick: Chapter 3—Parabellum (that’s an unwieldy mouthful of a title) trailer to gawk at like a slack-jawed yokel. At this point, what needs to be said about the best action franchise currently on the market? (Sorry, Mission: Impossible, you’re great, too.) Just give this a spin below.

John Wick 3 Casts A Bunch Of Stars, Gets Exponentially More Badass



What would a movie about a hitman on the run be without a bunch of people to shoot? John Wick has never had a lack of targets, and the upcoming John Wick: Chapter 3—possibly titled John Wick: Parabellum—just added a crazy ton of actors. The list includes Halle Berry, Anjelica Huston, Jason Mantzoukas, Asia Kate Dillon, Mark Dascascos, and most importantly, at least from my perspective, Yayan Ruhian and Cecep Arif Rahman from The Raid and Man of Tai Chi and Triple Threat star Tiger Chen.

'John Wick 3' Has Started Shooting. All Is Right With The World



Round these parts, we’re pretty jazzed up for John Wick: Chapter 3. Or any John Wick movie for that matter. We saw a first plot synopsis a few weeks back, but now the film has started shooting and that’s the best news we’ve heard all day.

'John Wick: Chapter 3' Plot Synopsis Has Keanu Reeves Thinking He's Back, Again



Over the last few years, action fans have been blessed with two installments in the John Wick franchise. It’s easily the biggest and best action series going. (We can debate the best portion of that statement, but as far as this style of non-superhero, non-giant-robot action goes, it’s by far the biggest—most of this ilk heads straight to DTV.) Thank whatever higher power you prefer, John Wick: Chapter 3 is on the way, and it now has a first synopsis.

'John Wick: Chapter 2' (2017) Movie Review



As long as villains keep making the absolute worst choice imaginable, messing with John Wick—seriously, never fuck with the guy the movie’s named after—and as long as the result is even a fraction as great as the franchise has been thus far, I will continue to drool over these films. I hope they never leave him alone.

New 'John Wick: Chapter 2' Trailer Has No Idea What's Coming



Bad guys, apparently you didn’t get the message the first time, but you really, really, need to stop messing with John Wick. It’s not going to end well. To be fair, I hope you never learn this lesson, since that would make John Wick: Chapter 2 the last in the saga of the reluctant hitman, and I don’t that to happen because this new trailer and poster look amazing.

John Wick Works On Retirement In The First 'John Wick: Chapter 2' Trailer



Don’t mind that noise, that’s just the sound of me in the corner squealing with glee at the first footage from John Wick: Chapter 2. I won’t waste your time with words on an important occasion like this. Check it out for yourself below.

First 'John Wick 2' Photo Shows Keanu Reeves And His Dog Out For A Stroll


Losing a pet is traumatic. For those of us who will never have kids, it’s as close to losing a child as we’ll ever get. It sent John Wick on kill-crazy rampage in the movie of the same name. But, like for all of us, the time comes to move on, and in the first image John Wick: Chapter Two, it looks like the former-assassin-turned-unretired-dog-avenger has done just that.

The 25 Best Movies Of The 21st Century So Far



Recently, the BBC polled almost 200 film critics from around the world to compile a list of the top 100 movies of the 21st century so far. The reveal caused quite a ruckus in certain circles—and by that I mean the insular community that watches far too many movies and spends most of its time on film blogs and Twitter.

'John Wick 2' Gets A Suitably Badass Official Synopsis


Without a doubt, John Wick was my favorite movie of 2014. It wasn’t even close. This is the kind of stripped-down, no frills action I grew up on and that all-too-rarely gets made these days, especially outside of the DTV realm. It doesn’t hurt that, in the hands of former stunt coordinators-turned-directors David Leitch and Chad Stahelski, the fight scenes and gun battles were magnificently staged, shot, and executed. John Wick: Chapter 2 is in the works, and while there have only been hints and clues about the story, we now have an official synopsis.

Watch Keanu Reeves' Badass 'John Wick 2' Training


If you’ve watched John Wick, and you should, it was hands down my favorite movie of 2014, you know that star Keanu Reeves plays a convincing total badass. Sure, a lot of it is due to your usual cinematic tricks like props, editing, stunt performers, and the like. But in this particular instance, a great deal of that is down to Reeves. Need proof? Check out this video of him training for John Wick: Chapter 2, blasting targets with live ammunition and looking like a man who can handle his business.

'John Wick 2' Is Happening, Yeah, He's Thinking He's Back


If you read any of my nonsense at all, you probably know that I have very strong feelings about the major motion picture JohnWick. The Keanu Reeves-starring revenge flick was hands down my favorite movie of 2014, and I use every opportunity to remind people of the fact that it may be the best action movie of the last decade. (It also his DVD/Blu-ray yesterday, so if you still haven’t seen it, you now have no excuse other than you suck.) But it might not be the last we see of the titular badass, as the ball has started rolling on John Wick 2. Maybe he has a cat we didn't know about.

Brent's Top Ten Movies Of 2014


Every year I tell myself I’m not going to make an end-of-year top ten list. I hate ranking films, but every year I cave and wind up throwing together a collection that I’m wholly unsatisfied with, and 2014 is proving to be no exception. Despite the fact that it was a terrible year in terms of overall box office receipts, that doesn’t mean there weren’t tons of great movies to be seen. I’m a firm believer that, no matter how fucked up the movie industry gets, there will always be people out there making interesting, worthwhile, badass cinema, you only have to look for it. Just check out all the amazing work on television right now, and all the big name filmmakers who are migrating that way in search of creative freedom. There will always be compelling stories being told.

'John Wick' Movie Review


Keanu Reeves may not be the greatest thespian of his generation, but you have to give the man points for doing the unexpected. After hits like Speed and The Matrix trilogy, he could easily have coasted by on name recognition, collecting big paydays and headlining spectacle level action tentpoles (okay, he tried on occasion, with films like Constantine and The Day the Earth Stood Still, but those are relatively few and far between). Instead, however, he’s chosen offbeat projects, like A Scanner Darky, and made his directorial debut with an old school martial arts film, Man of Tai Chi, where he plays against type as a villain. He’s even taking a turn on TV with the upcoming miniseries Rain. John Wick, a gritty, throwback revenge actioner, helmed by two stuntmen making their own directorial debut, is another unusual choice, and it may be my favorite movie of the year thus far. It’s definitely up there.
