A newly released clip from the upcoming Terminator Genisys provides an extended look at the film’s version of the T-1000. The sequence definitely echoes The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991), which looks fantastic, my only concern will be trying to keep all of the time paradoxes straight. As you probably already know, the film, directed by Alan Taylor, follows a plot s...[Read More]

May started with a bang, but ends on a whimper. After Avengers: Age of Ultron started things off with a massive weekend, only San Andreas rode high to finish things off with an estimated $53.2 million at the box office this past weekend, while little else made much headway. Not to say overall that there were no successful films. Pitch Perfect 2, in second, made only an estimated $14.4 million, but...[Read More]

A few months back we took a look at the first trailer for director Guillermo del Toro’s new horror film and were pretty excited about it. A new trailer has only heightened our anticipation.

Every generation needs a voice, and Universal Pictures is hoping that this particular voice can bridge the generation gap. Jem and the Holograms – Jem, Kimber, Aja, and Shana – are back in a new film called simply Jem and the Holograms. The new trailer has been released and it looks like it could be a fairly entertaining interpretation of the animated series. But, judge for yourself. ABOUT THE FIL...[Read More]
The constant big-budget movie releases with their A-list stars, state of the art technology, and expensive advertising campaigns can make it easy to forget that most of the movie industry just doesn’t have that kind of money. Most filmmakers are working with limited resources, yet producing films that are in many cases better than those big money movies. Other filmmakers work with even less, produ...[Read More]
How did Disney and the star power of George Clooney do this weekend? The answer, a big resounding “meh.” Despite costing $190 million, the next Disney summer blockbuster led a very lackluster Memorial Day weekend, earning only an estimated $41.7 million. In comparison, Pitch Perfect 2 made an estimated $38.5 million for its second weekend, and has broken past the $100 million mark in revenue. Even...[Read More]
I’m back, dear readers. I had a great time on my vacation – I was across the pond in London, in case anyone was wondering – and I’ve returned to bring you more analysis of the latest and greatest movie trailers. As I mentioned, I’d written four Trailer Trashin’ columns to be released over the time I was gone, covering four of the biggest trailers that dropped in the later p...[Read More]
The new trailer for the second installment of the Maze Runner saga, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, was released today. The trailer promises a darker, more politically-charged world than was delivered in the first film. While the use-your-wits to survive plot is still there, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials appears as though it will flesh out both the characters and their environs, as well as delive...[Read More]

Third of these is the teaser trailer for next year’s Batman...[Read More]
