Denis Villeneuve's First 'Dune' Trailer Is Brooding And Epic


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.

'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker': Watch A New Clip, TV Spot, And Nostalgic Video


There’s less than a month until Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker takes over the world, so I imagine we’ll be getting a lot of this the next few weeks. And by “this,” I mean new clips, TV spots, and videos that poke at our nostalgia for Star Wars. And I’m here for every second of it. Check out all one of all three after the jump.

'Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker' Trailer Gives You One Last Look At Your Friends


UPDATED: Now with more poster!

ORIGINAL POST: Now that we’re getting a movie every year or so, plus the upcoming streaming shows and the glut of books and comics and other media, it’s a bit less special, but I will never not be excited for Star Wars movie. And the final trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hits me in all the feelings places. Check it out for yourself below.

'Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker' D23 Teaser Hints At Big Things To Come



Yeah, Disney owns everything and that hegemony has already had a negative impact on the movie world. (Films have been cancelled, they’ve shuttered arms that handle smaller films, it’s now more difficult if not impossible for rep theaters to screen certain titles, etc.) But I remain 100% on the hook for all things Star Wars and this latest look at Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker gives me chills.

'Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker' Trailer: The Saga Comes To An End


Anything happening today? No? Nothing much? Oh, yeah, the first trailer for Star Wars: Episode IX, THAT’S WHAT’S HAPPENING! It’s also called Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker apparently. There’s some stuff to chew on in this, that’s for sure. But for now, roll it!

'Triple Frontier' Trailer: Handsome Men Rob Drug Dealers

Handsome Man and a Mule

Handsome white men can get away with damn near anything. From the look of the new trailer for J.C. Chandor’s Triple Frontier, the film plans to push this thesis to the extreme as a bunch of good looking dudes—Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam, Pedro Pascal, and Garrett Heduld—basically invade a foreign country to rob a drug cartel. What can possibly go wrong?

'Annihilation' (2018) Movie Review



Talking to fans of Jeff VanderMeer’s Annihilation, if you venture to see Alex Garland’s cinematic adaptation, steel yourself, they are very different animals. Both maintain the general sci-fi Heart of Darkness-style journey, and there are a few plot points intact—like the lighthouse and Area X. But aside from that, they go in two different directions.

I Have Questions About 'Annihilation'



I try as best I can, and for the most part I’m successful, to keep books and their cinematic adaptations in separate compartments. They’re drastically different mediums. You can do things in a book that you can’t in a movie; novels have space to spool out and expand, while movies have a more rigid time structure. No movie is ever going to ruin a book, no matter how much it changes. And though I don’t expect that to happen in this instance, I have questions about Alex Garland’s adaptation of Jeff VanerMeer’s Annihilation.

This 'Annihilation' Trailer Leans Heavy On The Sci-Fi Action



According to one of the producers, we might not be smart enough to understand it (we’re just dumb old movie fans after all), but I’m still rather jazzed about Alex Garland’s Annihilation. The adaptation of the first book in Jeff VanderMeer’s Southern Reach trilogy just dropped a new trailer. Check it out below.

Watch A Crap Ton Of New 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Footage



“I’m just so tired of all these Star Wars.” Okay, I’m not, not at all. Nor did I have the titular line in Star Wars, which has always chaffed. We’re now less than a month away from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which I’m rather jazzed for. And just in case we didn’t already know that, we’re at the point where Lucasfilm is beating us about the head, neck, and face with promotional material. This includes a bunch of new TV spots.

'Suburbicon' (2017) Movie Review



Suburbicon finds frequent Coen Brothers collaborator George Clooney doing his best impersonation of the filmmaking siblings. Actually, I hope it’s not his best impersonation or we’ve got problems. Behind the camera, Clooney so obviously apes his pals that his film has no personality of its own.

Watch The 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Trailer, It Has Lightsabers And Porgs!



By now you’ve probably watched the new Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer, whether Rian Johnson wants you to or not, ordered your opening day tickets, and plowed head first into the Great Porg Debate of 2017. (Love them or hate them, they’re the new Ewoks, and your stance on the adorable little bastards will define who you are for generations to come.) But what the hell, why not watch the trailer again?

'Annihilation' Trailer: Alex Garland's Sci-Fi Film Looks Beautiful And Creepy



After directing Ex Machina (and writing Dredd and 28 Days Later…), I’m down to watch anything Alex Garland does. So, understandably, I’m rather jacked for his upcoming adaptation of Jeff VanderMeer’s best-selling novel, Annihilation. I haven’t read the book, but I love that Garland’s sticking around the sci-fi end of the pool, and the first teaser trailer looks very much like a movie I want to watch.

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.

Watch The 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Trailer



Hey, guess what? Star Wars: The Last Jedi just released it’s first trailer. You should watch it now. Like right now. And be bummed that it’s not December and we still have like two-thirds of a year until we can see the actual movie.

Final 'X-Men: Apocalypse' Trailer Is Full Of Adventure And Surprises


While both Marvel and DC appear to have a roadmap for their respective superhero franchises—though they are certainly subject to change—20th Century Fox’s X-Men series has the feeling that they studio is just throwing things at the wall, seeing what sticks, and making it up as they go. They basically retconned the entire original timeline out of existence. It’s going to be interesting to see where they go with the latest installment, X-Men: Apocalypse. But as we approach the release date, we’ve got the final trailer, which arrives with some unexpected bits of fan service that are sure to make hardcore followers cheer in their seats. Watch it after the jump.

This 'X-Men: Apocalypse' Trailer Is A Trailer For A Superhero Movie


To be honest, I’m really looking forward to X-Men: Apocalypse—the last two installments were fantastic—and I’m going to watch the crap out of it, but what we’ve seen from the movie thus far has been a tad underwhelming. That includes the new trailer that dropped this morning.

Blu-Ray/DVD Review: 'Inside Llewyn Davis' Criterion Collection


While much of the recent conversation about the work of Joel and Ethan Coen has centered around their latest movie, the recently released Hail, Caesar!, it’s also a good time to look a few years back to their last film, Inside Llewyn Davis. Criterion just dropped a packed new Blu-ray/DVD that fans will absolutely want to pick up.

Movie Review: 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'


I’m not going to write a real Star Wars: The Force Awakens review. Everyone else already has, with the amount of money it’s already made you’ve probably already seen it multiple times, and I have far too many feelings to adequately put into words. So, I’ll keep this brief.

That's Right, There's More 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Footage, Including A Familiar Face


By the time December 18 rolls around, it feels like we’ll have seen all of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, though it’s being revealed one shot at a time. Yet another TV spot has hit the airwaves, and this one features some fun moments, but also quick glimpses of a new character and another familiar face from the original trilogy.
