High school was more or less the same for everyone, right?
You had football games, prom, cliques, and, of course, rabid, death-obsessed
teen serial killers stalking the halls. Okay, maybe I’m mixing up Tyler
MacIntyre’s Tragedy Girls with my own experience, I’ll have
to check on that. However it breaks down, this puts a whole new spin on the
mean girls phenomenon. It’s biting, wicked, and deceptively earnest.

'A Prayer Before Dawn' Trailer: Prison, Drugs, And Muay Thai
A real-life story of drug addiction, prison, and Muay Thai.
You bet your ass I’ve been tracking A Prayer Before Dawn
since I first heard about it. There hasn’t been a ton to follow—it debuted at
Cannes back in May, but even though it garnered positive reviews, it didn’t
make a huge splash. But A24—not necessarily the company I expected to drop a
Muay Thai prison movie in my lap—rectified that with this new trailer and it
looks like everything I hoped it would be.

This 'Den Of Thieves' Trailer Looks Like Discount Bin 'Heat'
Why did it take me two full days to watch this Den
of Thieves trailer? It’s everything I like: gritty no-frills action, bank
robbers, a brutally generic name, Gerard Butler, O’Shea Jackson, a dude from The
Wire (Pablo Schreiber), and a rapper (50 Cent). And it’s the guy who
wrote London Has Fallen and A Man Apart
making his directorial debut. And it looks like clearance-sale Heat.
All of which means it’s just my speed. I knew it was out there, I just slept on
it. But don’t worry, I rectified this grievous oversight and all is right with
the world.

'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.

'The Killing Of A Sacred Deer' (2017) Movie Review
Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos (The
Lobster, Dogtooth) doesn’t make simple,
straightforward movies. He doesn’t offer easy answers, or often even answers at
all. His latest, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, doesn’t
depart from this formula, but like his other films, it’s hypnotic, confrontational,
and lingers long after exiting the theater.
'Bright' Trailer: Will Smith Wants To Die In A Strip Club Gunfight
I have a new favorite movie line. It’s Will Smith yelling, “We’re
gonna titty-bar gunfight die.” And yes, that appears to be an actual line from
Bright, Netflix’s upcoming attempt to get in on the big-budget
fantasy action market. Check out the new trailer below.

This 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Behind The Scenes Video Is All About Wonder And Awe
I know people worry that now Disney owns Lucasfilm and they’re
churning out an endless parade of Star Wars films, among
other material, they’ll star to lose their magic and become commonplace, like
superhero movies. And I know we’re only a few movies deep into the global
takeover, but hot damn, we haven’t reached Star Wars fatigue
yet. And as of right now, I continue to get chills every single time I watch
new Star Wars footage, including this new behind-the-scenes
video from Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
