Pierce Brosnan Is Back in Action in Trailer for ‘The November Man’

Pierce Brosnan Is Back in Action in Trailer for ‘The November Man’

It seems to be a thing lately that old action stars feel the need to make a comeback. And many of them haven’t been altogether unsuccessful attempts either. One need look no further than the delightful RED franchise to see that there’s still something there for some of them.

Well we’re about to see if Brosnan has still got it in the upcoming flick The November Man. I can tend to be a sucker for a good action spy thriller and this looks like it could be one. Of course there could be too much cliché for it to be good. Brosnan is playing an ex-CIA agent (I mean, what else, right?), and there’s…

New ‘If I Stay’ Trailer Starring Chloe Grace Moretz

New ‘If I Stay’ Trailer Starring Chloe Grace Moretz

This is definitely one of those super emotional teen drama films in the same vein as The Fault In Our Stars, although somehow this one looks like it may be slightly easier to stomach. There are certain things about stories like this that can tend to resonate with us in our human condition. I often find that stories that have tough choices, sad events, and challenging circumstances make for some of the best and most impactful films. I think this is because we can identify with this even if our lives are pretty good. We know from little experience, and for some of us, big experiences that…

‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ — Five Minutes From The Film

‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ — Five Minutes From The Film

Don’t worry, it doesn’t seem that spoilery to me, and it’s a lot of fun. Where Captain America was full of very serious themes and earth-shaking reveals for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this one feels like it’s just going to be a fun thrill ride. And really, that’s quite alright. As long as there’s a good story there it doesn’t have to be super serious. I expect this film to be just a lot of fun.

Honest Trailer for ‘Divergent’

Honest Trailer for ‘Divergent’

I liked Divergent well enough, but it is certainly not without its criticisms, which makes this Honest Trailer so delicious and delightful. And I loved the parts cutting to Jon Bailey in the studio talking about how they had already done this one. Great stuff.

‘Horns’ Trailer — The fate of Daniel Radcliffe

If anyone was wondering whether Radcliffe could do anything with his life and career after Harry Potter, I think we’re seeing our answer. I mean of course there was that whole Equus thing and stuff. But now we get to see him in a film that doesn’t look like it’s going to be too great. Well, when I say “we” I’m not sure that “I” will see him in it.

‘Big Hero 6’ Full Trailer

‘Big Hero 6’ Full Trailer

So it’s here — the full trailer for Big Hero 6. I don’t have a lot to say about this film, but I know everyone is interested in this upcoming collaboration between Marvel and Disney Animation. It’s intriguing, even if it’s based on a relatively unknown property. This trailer definitely makes it looks quirky and probably pretty funny.

Look for the film in theaters on November 7.

Two ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ TV Spots — “Nothing goes over my head… I would catch it”

Two ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ TV Spots — “Nothing goes over my head… I would catch it”

Are you guys excited enough yet for Guardians of the Galaxy? Well if you are not, let me help — although I don’t know why you wouldn’t be ecstatic about this film yet. It’s a Marvel film, it’s based on a comic book series, it features a talking (and sarcastic) raccoon, a walking tree, a green alien, an alien who doesn’t understand metaphors, and Chris Pratt. Every single thing we’ve seen about this film up to this point tells us that it’s going to be awesome. At this point, there is so much awesome overload that I’m worried about expectation management. But I just have this feeling that the…

Trailer for ‘12 Monkeys’ TV Series — A Complete Reimagining

Trailer for ‘12 Monkeys’ TV Series — A Complete Reimagining

I really didn’t like the film Twelve Monkeys starring Bruce Willis. So color me a little bit skeptical about this TV series. I felt like the film had no story to tell, no real moral to convey, and no interesting characterization. I know people are going to argue this with me, but when you stop and think about it, I think you will know, deep down in your heart, that I am right.

So I watched this trailer with quite a bit of skepticism. But I do think this looks far more interesting and enjoyable than the film. I doesn’t look like it’s going to tell much of the same story as the film for that…

‘Kite’ Trailer Starring Samuel L. Jackson

‘Kite’ Trailer Starring Samuel L. Jackson

Back in January, I posted about this interesting looking film coming up starring Samuel L. Jackson. It’s based on an anime film from 1998 and looks extremely violent and gritty. And yet, despite that, I feel like there might be something here. The very short description from IMDb reads:

When her cop father is killed, a young woman tracks the murder with the apparent help of his ex-partner.

That’s not a lot of information. From my previous posting, it appears that she’s doing so with the help of some drugs that really puts her out of it but makes her a super hero.

Also, I’m really digging…

Scarlett Johansson Is Helping the Authorities Out? — Two New Clips from ‘Lucy’

Scarlett Johansson Is Helping the Authorities Out? — Two New Clips from ‘Lucy’

The marketing material for this film is practically pouring out at this point. They must be worried that the film won’t do well and are trying to pump as much interest in it as they can. As far as I know the film is not based on any pre-existing franchise and that may be part of the paranoia for putting this much out for it in advance. The studios believe these days that sequels, reboots, retellings and the like are far more likely to make them money. And unfortunately it’s hard to argue with the numbers that back up those assumptions.

I’m willing to give this film a good solid chance…
