Listen, y'all, making movies is hard. A lot of people put a lot of effort into the movies, and sometimes that comes through very clearly, and other times it is less readily apparent. Either way, people work hard on these things for months, and calling something "one of the worst" isn't something I'm looking to…
This week is kind of wild. We have an M. Night Shyamalan movie I'm excited for, a movie whose star is a silent sheep, people revolting against a decade-long alien presence, the most boring thing on the face of the Earth, and Godzilla going one-v-one against a three-headed Titan. What a time to be alive.…
NOTE: I wanted to keep both of the original introductions included below because another trailer ended up coming out, and not only did it come out, it was my favorite one of the week. So. Yeah. It was a roller coaster. NOTE: I wanted to keep the original language I had drafted for this post,…
For a variety of reasons (laziness, personal issues, some additional laziness), I have gotten behind on full movie reviews of things I've seen in the theaters. I still want to try to write something about things I get to see in theaters, so here is a handful of quick reactions to some of the best…
I always love the week after I get myself caught up after falling behind for like a month because there are only like 5 trailers and it's such a relief. Artemis Fowl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXlBep9uFjI I vaguely recall reading the first book in this series when it first came out, which is to say that I have…
Yeah, I know. Miss Bala https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-kPf-n4Mto I wish I was more excited about a Gina Rodriguez-led action thriller, but from what I can tell, she is the only thing really worth getting excited about here. The story itself, a remake of a Mexican film from 2011, seems like it could be exciting, but could also…
Let’s talk about Drew Goddard. Goddard’s been working in the film and TV business for over 15 years but is far from a household name. He got his start when he was brought on as a writer for the final season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, being at least a co-writer on two of the…
Most of these trailers dropped on like Thursday and Friday, so what had been an easy week led to something that vaguely resembles effort. Pet Sematary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VllcgXSIJkE We've been getting some really strong adaptations of Stephen King properties lately (not counting The Dark Tower, because, what even?), and that seems to remain the case with…
I keep trying to write a genuine review for this movie but am having the hardest time. Partially because this movie does not really earn any real critique or discussion. Partially because the review over at Birth Movies Death does a much better job of discussing what doesn’t work and what does (mostly unintentionally) work…
This week was all over the place with trailers, including several that make their movies look straight up wonderful, and others that I cannot pass hard enough on, but at least I got it done in time! Rocketman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpOGT3GTO84 This movie could easily feel like another Bohemian Rhapsody where it takes the lift of a very…
