The poster for Beckett is okay, but man, I really like the trailer. Deal me in.
Following a tragic car accident in Greece, Beckett, an American tourist, finds himself at the center of a dangerous political conspiracy – and on the run for his life.
Below we have the trailer for 9/11: One Day in America. I plan to watch the mini-series.
9/11. If you’re old enough you know exactly where you were when you learned about the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Seeing images brings back memories of that terrible day. Yet in the days that followed I never felt our country come together more. It is sad that it sometimes takes a tragedy to bring us together.
Commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, the six-part limited series 9/11: One Day in America will premiere August 29 at 9/8c National Geographic
I like the poster for Crime Story starring Richard Drefuss and Mia Sorvino. I’m not sold on the trailer. My biggest problem is Dreyfuss as a tough guy getting revenge, especially at his age. It could work, but I’m not fully on board yet. It is good to see Mia Sorvino on screen again.
ComingSoon is excited to premiere the Crime Story trailer and key art for Saban Films and Paramount’s upcoming crime thriller. The film stars Academy Award winners Richard Dreyfuss (The Goodbye Girl, Jaws) and Mira Sorvino (Mighty Aphrodite, Mimic). Crime Story will arrive in theaters, on demand, and digital on August 13. Dreyfuss plays a retired mob boss that goes back to his old ways after being the victim of a home robbery.
Here we have the poster and trailer for Jolt. I’m not a fan of the poster. I’m surprised that Kate Beckinsale is the only actor/actress credited since it has a decent cast including Beckinsale, Bobby Cannvale, Jai Courtney, Susan Sarandon and Stanley Tucci.
The trailer looks better than I expected. Jolt reminds me of a female version of Jason Statham’s Crank. Jolt looks like it will be better. I certainly hope so.
I liked Don’t Breathe better than I thought I would. The trailer looks good. I like the direction it takes — we will learn more about Nordstrom’s past and the sequel has him going after thugs and adapting his methods due to being blind.
The sequel is set in the years following the initial deadly home invasion, where Norman Nordstrom (Stephen Lang) lives in quiet solace until his past sins catch up to him.
Starring Stephen Lang, Brendan Sexton III, and Madelyn Grace.
Don’t Breathe 2 has been rated R by the Motion Picture Association for strong bloody violence, gruesome images, and language. The film will be released in theaters nationwide on August 13, 2021.

The Hunting screams drive-in movie. Low budget? Check. Monster movie? Check. No big name stars? Check. Monster not clearly shown in trailer? Check. Craig would watch it? Check.
I like the poster. (The only nit I would pick is that the title font looks too much like The Howling.) The werewolf in the poster looks kind of cool but I’m not sold on the one in the trailer. It’s hard for movies to come up awesome looking werewolves. If it were up to me, I’d try to get my werewolf to look as close to the wolf man in Curse of the Werewolf.
At any rate, I’ll check out The Hunting if it comes to one of my streaming services.
Wow. I knew it would look good, but this poster and trailer for The Many Saints of Newark delivers!
The Many Saints Of Newark is the feature film prequel to David Chase’s groundbreaking award-winning HBO drama series “The Sopranos.” Follow young Anthony “Tony” Soprano as he grows up in one of the most tumultuous eras in Newark’s history, becoming a man just as rival gangsters begin to rise up and challenge the all-powerful DiMeo crime family’s hold over the increasingly race-torn city.
Directed by Alan Taylor, “The Many Saints of Newark” stars Alessandro Nivola, Tony winner Leslie Odom Jr., Jon Bernthal, Corey Stoll, Michael Gandolfini, Billy Magnussen, Michela De Rossi, John Magaro, with Emmy winner Ray Liotta and Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga. #TheManySaintsOfNewark
The Many Saints of Newark will be available on October 1 in theaters and on HBO Max, streaming only on the Ad-Free plan in the US for 31 days from its theatrical release.
Today we have the second trailer for Blood Red Sky which is a crime/horror mash-up starring Dominic Purcell as the main villain. Deal me in.
Nadja and her ten-year-old son are on an overnight flight from Germany to New York when a group of terrorists violently take control of the plane and threaten the lives of the passengers. Suddenly Nadja faces an impossible choice – should she reveal her dark side and the inner monster she has kept hidden from her son for years in order to save him? The hunters become the hunted in this action-horror from director Peter Thorwarth, starring Peri Baumeister and Dominic Purcell.
I like both the poster and trailer to The One and Only Dick Gregory. I don’t have Showtime, but am interested in seeing this documentary at some point. I know very little about Dick Gregory, other than he was an activist. The clips of his standup comedy were funny and he appears to have been for the betterment of all. We need more of that..
In writer-director Andre Gaines’ THE ONE AND ONLY DICK GREGORY, extraordinary archival footage and new interviews put a spotlight on this icon’s journey from influential comedian to on-the-ground activist — which is discussed by modern legends including Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Kevin Hart, and Wanda Sykes, along with commentary from Harry Belafonte, W. Kamau Bell, Lawrence O’Donnell, Gregory’s wife Lillian Gregory, Medgar Evers’ wife Dr. Myrlie Evers-Williams, and others. Most essential is Dick Gregory himself, whose insights before he died in 2017 provide a crucial through line to what Gregory gave voice to during the Civil Rights era — and which continue to be vital today. Watch the premiere on Sunday, July 4 at 9/8c on SHOWTIME.
