The dead don’t drive (I hope) in new trailer for zombie horror The Driver

by

They’re fast. And deadly. And DEAD. Mark Dacascos is back – yay! – as another hitman – double yay! – in The Driver, alongside his real-life wife Julie Condra and daughter Noelani Dacascos, as the family of the film.  As someone who would only drive fast when (a) pursued by zombies or (b) the farmer’s… The dead don’t drive (I hope) in new trailer for zombie horror The Driver Read More

Pixie trailer: “make a little trouble out there!”

by

“These guns aren’t going to shoot themselves…” Of all the things I expected to see when I started watching the trailer for Pixie, Alec Baldwin as an Irish priest wielding a gun was not high on my list. Still, it’s good to know that even in 2020 I can still be surprised. If the movie… Pixie trailer: “make a little trouble out there!” Read More

The Rebecca trailer is here and all hail Mrs Danvers

by

*** My Rebecca review and (very spoilery) article *** “I wonder what she’s thinking about you – taking her husband, and using her name…” Those tiny twitches when she meets the new Mrs de Winter for the first time, and the increasing nastiness as she regains her composure… the trailer looks sumptuous but I am… The Rebecca trailer is here and all hail Mrs Danvers Read More

Devilry, distrust and disease in The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw trailer

by

“We’ve all been under a tremendous amount of stress lately.” I must admit this line made me laugh. It’s a slightly incongruous spot of light relief in an eerie, oppressive trailer. The threat of witchcraft and devilry is everywhere, its forbidden richness contrasting with the plain puritan clothes of the overtly religious community where the… Devilry, distrust and disease in The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw trailer Read More

Bill & Ted Face The Music: featurettes and photos

by

*** My review and article are now live *** It’s nearly three decades since their excellent adventure and bogus journey and they still haven’t written that song to save the universe. And it’s not like we don’t need it. Bill & Ted Face The Music is out in UK cinemas on 16 September – until… Bill & Ted Face The Music: featurettes and photos Read More

The Dune trailer promises an epic Christmas (if it doesn’t move)

by

*** If you’ve already watched the trailer 58 times, check out these images from the film. *** Beyond fear, destiny awaits… …And beyond breathtaking visuals™, I had no idea what to expect of the trailer for Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, mainly because despite seeing the original movie years – decades? – ago, I can’t remember anything… The Dune trailer promises an epic Christmas (if it doesn’t move) Read More

NEW TRAILER: No Time To Die

by Leave a Comment

The film’s out in November, and I believe it because their word is their Bond. Here’s the synopsis – and scroll down for new images from the film: James Bond has left active service. His peace is short-lived when Felix Leiter, an old friend from the CIA, turns up asking for help, leading Bond onto… NEW TRAILER: No Time To Die Read More

Images from The Batman to keep you going…

by

…and he’s definitely a creature of the night (and a sharp contrast to Pattinson’s role in TENET, where he was all posh flicky hair and urbane charm). The film, directed by Matt Reeves, is scheduled for release on 1 October 2021. Robert Pattinson stars as the Batman / Bruce Wayne, Zoë Kravitz is Selina Kyle… Images from The Batman to keep you going… Read More
