3022 has an interesting concept. Don’t count on a feel good fun fest.
After Earth suffers a cataclysmic extinction-level event, four astronauts marooned on a dying space station must embark on a desperate fight for survival amidst the mind-shattering horror of what it means to be the last humans alive.
A great cast and an interesting story. Here’s the poster, synopsis and trailer for Knives Out…
Knives Out—In theaters November 27, 2019. Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Don Johnson, Michael Shannon, LaKeith Stanfield, Katherine Langford, Noah Segan, Edi Patterson, Riki Lindhome, Jaeden Martell, and Christopher Plummer.
I like the look of the poster, the synopsis and the trailer. I hope you do as well.
In 1988, Philadelphia police officer Thomas Lockhart (Boyd Holbrook), hungry to become a detective, begins tracking a serial killer who mysteriously resurfaces every nine years. But when the killer’s crimes begin to defy all scientific explanation, Lock’s obsession with finding the truth threatens to destroy his career, his family, and possibly his sanity. Directed by Jim Mickle and also starring Michael C. Hall and Cleopatra Coleman, IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON is a genre-blending psychological thriller that examines the power of time, and how its passing can either bring us together or tear us apart.
I saw The Cotton Club on it’s initial theatrical release and at least once again several years later — both times I felt like the movie was good, but not as good as expected. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola and featuring an all-star cast that included Richard Gere, Gregory Hines, Diane Lane, Bob Hoskins, James Remar, Fred Gwynnne and Nicholas Cage, The Cotton Club should have been much better than it was.
Now The Cotton Club will get another chance at greatness when The Cotton Club Encore is released. This newly edited version will contain…
… an extended Gregory Hines & Maurice Hines tap performance, Lonette McKee’s brilliant rendition of “Stormy Weather,” the originally envisioned ending, and more…
Here’s the trailer below. You can catch The Cotton Club Encore in limited theatrical release in October or when it comes to Blu-Ray and DVD. One piece of trivia before the video: Did you know that Sly Stallone was originally up for the Richard Gere role, but turned it down? He was. It’s an interesting story that I’ll save for another post.
Jason Adams at Joblo.com profiled one of Sly Stallone’s most under-rated movies in AWFULLY GOOD: OSCAR WITH SYLVESTER STALLONE. Here are a few tidbits before you click over…
OSCAR should’ve been a homerun back in 1991. A madcap comedy was right in the wheelhouse of director John Landis, who was coming off the back-to-back success of COMING TO AMERICA and THREE AMIGOS. Landis perfectly cast Al Pacino in the lead role… (which ultimately went to Sly Stallone)
Stallone particularly gets an undeserved bad rap for this movie.
Stallone is more fun in OSCAR than Pacino ever would’ve been.
These days zombies are the most popular of all monsters.
There was a time however when zombies were only in movies and zombie movies weren’t ever seen on tv, except for a late night showing on pay cable movie channels. Back then, NO ONE would have considered a tv show (let’s make that multiple tv shows) featuring zombies.
All of that changed with The Walking Dead. But before The Walking Dead, there was George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. Romero forever changed the concept of zombies.
Surprisingly, zombies have only been around in popular culture for less than 100 years. Check out the video below and you’ll see how they entered popular culture, how Romero accidentally changed the concept of zombies and more.
Today we have a trailer for Fritz Lang’s Indian Epic. Interestingly enough, Lang’s Indian Epic is actually two films, The Tiger of Eschnapur and The Indian Tomb that Lang directed at the end of his career. He was given a bigger budget and freedom long denied him in Hollywood. You can learn more about Lang’s Indian Epic here,here, and here.
I’d never seen these movies, but being a Lang fan and having seen the trailer below, I want to.
While I like the poster above for Ad Astra, the trailers that I’ve seen before today’s clip have left me thinking: Great cast, cool looking effects, but nothing that makes me want to head out to a theater.
That all changed today with the clip below. Save me a seat on September 20th!
