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 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.
