‘Zombieland: Double Tap’ Trailer
It’s been a while since the delightfully dark comedy, Zombieland, came out. Ten years later, and the trailer for Zombieland: Double Tap, is out. And it’s quick to point out just how good the actors are.
‘Jumanji: The Next Level’ Trailer
I won’t lie that it felt a little odd that Jumanji was getting a sequel years after the original. Then Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle came out and made me forget that I thought that. It was a fantastic sequel that wasn’t afraid of what it was. It took the premise and modernized it in a fun way, while still showing love for the original. Then a third movie was announced.
‘Terminator 2: Judgement Day’ Out Now
Okay, maybe I’m way behind on that.
If there’s one thing sorely missing from Blu-ray commercials, it’s having one of the actors in-character to convince you to buy the movie. For instance, what if the T-1000 vaguely threatened you to purchase Terminator 2: Judgement Day? I know; me too; just typing it had me reaching for my wallet.
‘The Avengers: Endgame’ Trailer and Thoughts (Sort Of)
It’s been eons since the first trailer for Marvel’s most anticipated film, The Avengers: Endgame came out. Oh, by the way, the latest and possibly final entry for The Avengers movies is Endgame. It was kind of a given, considering Doctor Strange’s line in the fight on Titan against Thanos in Infinity War.
(more…)‘Fast and Furious’ Spinoff ‘Hobbs and Shaw’ Gains Antagonist
A rumored schism caused a spinoff from the Fast and Furious franchise — or was it the other way around? Either way, the spinoff is well underway with Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham as the titular characters: Hobbs and Shaw. It’s a peculiar pairing, considering one was a cop and the other is a killer.
‘Men in Black’ Continues with New Cast
I try not to hate on remakes since they’ve been a thing for as long as film has been around, but sometimes I can’t help myself. The news a while back about a remake for Men in Black was one of those times. I loved the original as a kid. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones were fantastic. Then, there was also the cartoon that I really liked — I guess that might go a little towards remake territory, but I digress.
Bear McCreary, Composer of ‘Battlestar Galactica’ and ‘Agents of SHIELD’
One of the most memorable things about Battlestar Galactica was the music; it was very different than the music in other shows and even in film. It had an almost organic sound; not something you would expect in a sci-fi show. Yet, somehow, it beautifully fit.
Marvel’s ‘The Avengers: Infinity War’ Trailer
Iron Man teased the idea of a larger movie universe with Agent Coulson mentioning S.H.I.E.L.D. Then the end credits drove it home with Director Nick Fury schooling Tony Stark on not being the only one doing heroics. I flipped out. It was the first time a comic book movie went there; that there’s more out there and that we will see more heroes in the same movie universe.
