Senior Editor, Writer Lifelong film fanatic, Mark Salcido was discovered frozen in carbonite by C.H.U.Ds. He was released to the surface level to spread his rants and opinions on anything of film and digital. Batman calls him for advice.
God damn, god damn there were a lot of trailers. A Couple of coming of age stories, some for the kids and some for the horror fans. Sit back and cool off in front of the fan as these previews let you forget, or remind you that summer is here. Let Me Make You a Martyr I was immediately drawn in by this trailer. Having been a Sons of Anarchy fan, part of it has to do with seeing three members from that series cast in this film. There is also no doubt that Marilyn Manson has a mysterious air…
It’s just not a good year for anyone. Today news is coming in that actor Anton Yelchin of Star Trek fame and long line of other films like The Green Room, Fright Night, Alpha Dog, was killed in a freak accident. TMZ.com is reporting that the actor died Sunday morning after he was crushed by his own car. His body was found in the driveway of his San Fernando Valley home between his vehicle and a brick mailbox that was attached to a security gate. Police do not suspect foul play. Yelchin was only 27 years old and will surely…
Shoes, weird shit happening and India style perversion. It was a slow week in new trailers but we were able to find the ones that you might want to check out. Let the previews begin. Kicks What happens when you get a fresh pair of Jordans but later get yo’ shit stolen? Well, you pack up your homies and look for the foo that robbed you. This is the story of Brandon, as the coming age film follows him on his quest to retrieve his shoes. That might sound boring, but the way the film presents it takes you on…
After my last article about Bryan Singer, you might be asking yourself, “Well Mark, how would you do the X-Men franchise?” And I’d respond with, “First, I would tell Fox to take a break from X-Men and let five years go by so that the previous films can be somewhat a distant memory. Second, sit your lethargic fanboy ass down (as if you weren’t) and let me shoot an idea to you.” 6. X-Men: Hope The first installment of a two-part trilogy would start off with the mutants and X-Men fully established in the world. After the events of House…
Lots of trailers to get to in this week’s trailer roundup: Collide Haven’t had enough of Nicholas Hoult? Well, Open Road Films has got the fix for you. Collide follows him as he does whatever he can to save the life of his ill girlfriend played by Felicity Jones. Hoult must return to the criminal underworld he left behind a long time ago in order to find quick cash for Jones’ treatment. But when Hoult crosses the path of a dangerous gangster, played by Sir Anthony Hopkins, Jones is now put in danger and it’s Hoult’s mission to save her.…
Here we go again. Another X-Men film is upon us for the 9th time around. Singer in the director’s chair for the 4th time and Kinberg for his 2nd, or 3rd if you count Last Stand. This time, a new set of actors are placed in familiar roles, along with a new villain but still bringing in the cast from the two previous X-Men films. And frankly, I am sick and f**king tired of Singer. The story has the omega level mutant known as Apocalypse awoken in the 80’s to gather a new set of Horsemen to rein havoc and…
The X-Men franchise has been a part of American pop culture for decades. When created in 1963 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the group was used as an allegory for change and the Civil Rights Movement. As time passed, the group has grown with us like a family of misfits wanting to belong. With Charles Xavier playing a surrogate father to so many of his students, you can’t help but want to be part of the team just to hear the man’s words of knowledge and guidance. After so many failed attempts to bring the X-Men to the big…
There are a few movie trailers but mainly a lot of TV show trailers that were released. The nostalgia is strong with this one. So go forth and relive your days of “on the edge TV watching” like you did in high school or in college. Enjoy. Lethal Weapon They’re back! Well, sort of. It is not a 5th movie with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. Being that their last movie in the franchise came out nearly 20 years ago, they’re a bit old to reprise their roles anyway. It’s a reboot as a television series on the FOX…
Shane Black is and has been a force to be reckoned with since the mid to late 80’s. After writing many classic action films like Lethal Weapon, The Monster Squad and The Last Boy Scout, Black decided to take a stab at directing with Kiss Kiss Bang. After the box office hit of Iron Man 3, Black came back to his first love of action and comedy with The Nice Guys bringing together Crowe and Gosling. Will this be another hit under Black’s belt in his ever growing resume as Director? Let’s find out. And don’t worry; spoilers will be…
Modeling Demons, Swiss Army Men, a movie about a book, a movie based on a video game, Kevin Smith’s next attempt at a stoner laced horror film and lots more in this week’s Trailer Round Up. You’ve been warned. The Neon Demon (Red Band Trailer) Ellie Fanning definitely shows her acting chops in this horror thriller written and directed by Nicolas Winding Refn. In the trailer, it shows a hopeful Jesse (Fanning) interviewing with someone at a modeling agency in Los Angeles. It is clear that she has beauty and talent, and some of the other girls she encounters…
