'The Matrix Resurrections' (2021) Movie Review

In 1999, the Wachowski’s rewrote the cinematic game plan with The Matrix. Big and brash, the influence on movies remains palpable and omnipresent today. The subsequent sequels, Reloaded and Revolutions, are overstuffed, messy, and divisive—and still awesome despite being way up their own asses. Now, almost 20 years after the fact, Lana Wachowski, operating solo at the helm for the first time, is back with the long-awaited The Matrix Resurrections. And the results are mixed. At times this is exciting and fresh; at others, it’s a painfully dreary rehash.

'Bill & Ted Face The Music' Gets A New Trailer, Release Date, And Release Strategy

COVID-19 continues to rewrite the world, especially here in the U.S. because we’re too cool to wear masks and not flood public spaces the second the weather got nice. It’s affected every industry, and the entertainment industry is no different. With theaters closed, limited, or closing, and most productions halted, everything is delayed. Studios and distributors are scrambling to find new, profitable ways to get their films in front of audiences. One movie that’s shifted its plans is Bill & Ted Face the Music. The long-gestating sequel has a new release date and new strategy, and a new trailer to mark the occasion.

'Bill & Ted Face The Music' Trailer Reminds Us To Be Excellent To Each Other

As bleak as 2020 has been, we could all use a touch of hope, optimism, and to be a bit more excellent to each other. Which is part of why we’re so excited for Bill & Ted Face the Music, the long-in-development third chapter in the Bill & Ted saga. (Also, because the first two rank among our favorite films of all time.) Face the Music is still slated to open this summer—we’ll see how that goes—and now we have our first trailer. Check it out, dudes.

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.

'Bill & Ted 3' Will Actually Happen, Apparently

Talk about a third Bill & Ted movie has been going around for years. It’s one of those things that I never actually thought would happen—and one I’ve never been entirely sure I wanted, as the first two are perfect, and that comic sequel was good enough for me—but it’s apparently official: Bill & Ted Face the Music is officially a go. And despite any misgivings, that’s excellent news.

'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.

Ana Lily Amirpour's 'The Bad Batch' Trailer Had Me At 'Keanu Reeves As A Post-Apocalyptic Cult Leader'

Twee indie Iranian vampire western A Girl WalksHome Alone at Night is a goddamned masterpiece, so, of course, anything writer/director Ana Lily Amirpour does next is high on my list. It doesn’t hurt my feelings at all that her next movie is a weird-as-hell post-apocalyptic cannibal joint. And the latest trailer for The Bad Batch does nothing but sell me.

'The Bad Batch' Trailer: Post-Apocalyptic Wastelands, Cannibals, And Cult Leader Keanu Reeves

After A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, I’m game for anything Ana Lily Amirpour does. And if that happens to be a visit to a tense, moody, post-apocalyptic dystopia where Keanu Reeves goes deep-dive mustachioed cult leader, even better. Check out the first trailer for The Bad Batch below.

'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 Bad Batch' Clips: Check Out Ana Lily Amirpour's Indie Post Apocalyptic Dystopia

Did I jump the gun a bit putting Ana Lily Amirpour’s black-and-white, pseudo-western, Iranian vampire indie A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night on my Top 25 Movies of the Century So Far list? Probably. But I love the shit out of that movie. And I am, understandably, excited for her follow up, The Bad Batch. It just debuted at Venice (with an appearance at both Fantastic Fest and the Toronto International Film Festival on the horizon), and we’ve got two new clips to gawk at and salivate over.

NSFW 'The Neon Demon' International Trailer Has Keanu Reeves And A Mountain Lion

Isn’t this always the case? We go for what feels like forever not seeing much from a movie that we’re super pumped for, and when we get the first splash it turns into a wave. I sincerely hope that’s what’s happening with Nicolas Winding Refn’s The Neon Demon. Just yesterday we got the very first trailer, and today we woke up to a quick new U.K. teaser. Heads up, if you’re on the clock, maybe check to make sure your boss isn’t looking over your shoulder, this one’s a wee bit NSFW.

The First Trailer For Nicolas Winding Refn's 'The Neon Demon' Is Dark, Sexy, And Twisted

One of the things I look forward to like little else is the arrival of a new Nicolas Winding Refn movie. His latest, The NeonDemon, is, understandably, a film I’ve been keeping an eye on for quite some time. Though it hits later this year, we haven’t seen much, aside from a handful of stills and posters. That is, until today. The first trailer for the modeling-world-set horror thriller just dropped, and it’s dark, sexy, and twisted. Check it out after the jump.

Nicolas Winding Refn's 'The Neon Demon' Gets Two Gorgeous New Posters

Anytime Nicolas Winding Refn makes a movie, it’s an event that will have my full, undivided attention. The director of Drive, Only God Forgives, Bronson, Valhalla Rising, and more is a damn hit factory, so I’m understandably excited for The Neon Demon, which just dropped two slick new posters.

'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.
