Another big week. 8 trailers were released even before Comic-Con happened, so, yeah. Big week. I also talk about music choices a lot this week, for some reason. Whatever. Here we go. On The Basis Of Sex https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28dHbIR_NB4 With the Supreme Court being something of a hot topic for the third time in three years,…
Upon its release, Sorry To Bother You has been described by several major review sources (including The BBC and The Guardian) as this year’s Get Out. Sorry To Bother You is not this year’s Get Out. Yes, both films are biting satires, one utilizing the horror genre to expose the subtle and not-so-subtle ways that…
In 2008, two of the five worldwide highest grossing movies of the year came out on the same date in July (the 18th, to be exact). Coming in at number one that year, The Dark Knight, arguably changed the movie world for good. Maybe not for the better, but the effect it had certainly seems…
Sorry that it's been a minute since I've done these. After seeing two of my very best friends get married, and slightly hurting my knee during the festivities, I have not really had a chance to focus on these trailers, but I'm making a comeback before Comic-Con drowns me. Included in this package is a…
The Predator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaG1KZqrLvM I'm not someone who is super knowledgeable on the Predator franchise, but this appears to do the horror/action part of everything fairly well, especially with the pretty over-the-top idea of an Ultimate Predator. The choice to have Sterling K Brown, who I think is one of the best performers we have right now, do…
Pixar can play my tear ducts like a fiddle. I mean, to be fair, most forms of media can play me like a fiddle. I’m very much a person who wears my heart on my sleeve, and tend to cry at films. But Pixar has a way to get at me on a consistent basis.…
Searching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8zaNxmQC9s Similar to last week's Unfriended sequel, this is another film that takes place entirely using screens (computer, phone, etc.) It looks a bit like Gone Girl as well, with a missing person case being blamed on the character that we spend the most time with and who seems the most concerned with finding the person. This…
This week was much easier, with almost a third as many movies receiving trailers. I'll still try to do a quick wrap-up at the end, but this one is not the beast that week one was. The Little Stranger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASR04zW4K8w From the director of Frank and Room comes a period horror film, which uses some very fast-paced keys…
After the death of her mother, a woman and her family begin to experience some deeply unsettling things in their lives, very little of which is easy to watch. When I went into this movie, I knew that I had to go in expecting the unexpected. I had been told by Twitter film critics that…
When I originally planned to do this, I only had two trailers in mind that I really wanted to talk about this week, Suspiria, which came out on Monday, and Halloween, which I knew would be out on Friday. I figured there would be a small handful of others and then Hollywood vomited almost 20 trailers at me, which…
