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.

'Sicario: Day Of The Soldado' (2018) Movie Review
Denis Villeneuve’s 2015 drug war thriller
Sicario is a crushing masterclass in tension, sparse
landscapes full of violence, and grim realism. The follow-up, Sicario: Day of the Soldado, while filling a certain niche, feels very much
like a facsimile. Gritty and low-down and dirty, it watches like one of those
should-have-been DTV titles that magically gets a theatrical run because of
name recognition. Think London Has Fallen or pretty much anything
with Gerard Butler these days and you’re in the ball park. This comes with
positives, but also drawbacks.

'Deadpool 2' Trailer Has Poop Jokes And X-Force
I legitimately enjoyed Deadpool, more
than I expected to. I wasn’t sure how it would translate, if they would go all
in on the filth and violence, but they did. And the result is a fun,
foul-mouthed superhero joint. Even so, I haven’t been able to work up one iota
of enthusiasm for Deadpool 2. And I should. David Leitch
directed John Wick, the best modern action movie, and
Atomic Blonde, which is solid. It has Josh Brolin, who I’ve
loved since Thrashin’; Zazie Beetz, who rules; Terry Crews; and
the kid from Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Regardless of how I
feel, the Merc with the Mouth is coming back, and there’s a new trailer, and it
does little to get my juices flowing.

'Sicario 2: Soldado' Trailer Starts A War With Everyone
Do we really need a sequel to Denis Villeneuve’s 2015 cartel
thriller Sicario? Especially one without the lead character
or director from that film? Probably not. But that’s not going to stop
Sicario 2: Soldado from happening, and thanks to this first
trailer, I’m here for it’s DTV vibe and promise of excessive violence.

George Clooney's 'Suburbicon' Trailer Is Wicked And Hilarious
Not content with being a huge star, aging more gracefully
than any human ever to live, and selling his tequila brand for a billion dollars, George Clooney continues to make the rest of us mere mortals look like
turds by directing movies. His latest, the Coen Brothers-scripted
Suburbicon is one we’ve been keeping an eye on. The first
trailer just dropped and it’s pretty much what you expect, and I mean that in a
good way. Check it out.

Movie Review: The Coen Brothers' 'Hail, Caesar!'
Any time Joel and Ethan Coen make a movie, it’s going to be
an event that captures my attention, and such is case with Hail, Caesar!. A bouncy, energetic dalliance into the Hollywood studio
system of the 1950s, this is a well-meaning romp full of whip-cracking dialogue
that only the Coens can pull off, homages to the classic genres of yesteryear,
and quirky characters that would become stilted in the hands of any other
filmmakers.

Blu-Ray/DVD Review: 'Thrashin'
Along with a handful of movies that includes
Rad, Top Gun, and Red Dawn, David Winters’ 1986 skateboarding action drama
Thrashin’ had a formative impact on my youth and my
subsequent adult life, probably to a degree that isn’t entirely healthy. And if
you’ve missed out on owning a copy of your very own over the years, and you
like to watch a young Josh Brolin shredding the streets of Los Angeles, Olive
Films just released a new DVD and Blu-ray version of the film for your convenience.

New 'Sicario' Trailer Gets Grim, Denis Villenueve's Latest Will Debut At TIFF
Denis Villenueve’s (Prisoners) Sicario is one we’re
definitely stoked for, and it was just announced that it will make it’s North
American debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in early September (yet another year I wish I was going to TIFF).
To go along with that bit of news, they dropped a grim, tense new trailer for
what looks like a grim, tense movie. Check it out below.

'Oldboy' Movie Review
In 2003, Park Chan-wook’s revenge thriller
Oldboy made audiences squirm in their seats, and Spike Lee’s
new remake, despite some issues, is going to elicit a similar reaction. While
the grim plot and overriding themes are note for note the same, Lee,
screenwriter Mark Protosevic (I Am Legend), and a fantastic
cast, do enough to differentiate their film, and keep it from being a tired
rehash.

'Oldboy' Redband Trailer Says It's Hammer Time
I’m torn, so very, very torn. On one hand, the fact that
Hollywood is remaking a badass modern revenge classic like Park Chan-wook’s “Oldboy,” which is barely a decade old,
is a travesty. They’re going to water it down, take away all of the bite, give
it a happy, Americanized ending. You get where this train is headed. On the
other hand, this new redband trailer for Spike Lee’s version of “Oldboy” is
really good.
