But… but… but… I have so many questions about this Butt Boy trailer
*** Read my interview with writer / director / star Tyler Cornack and my Butt Boy review *** “I feel at its core it is truly original. In a movie like Airplane, the characters find themselves in a very serious situation, but it’s filled with jokes. Butt Boy is the opposite…The premise is the joke… But… but… but… I have so many questions about this Butt Boy trailer Read More

Hobbs And Shaw second trailer: “tell me this is not happening…”
But it IS and I LOVE it. A mystery virus, flying cars, Helen Mirren as your jailbird mum. “This ‘ole thing saans really dodgy” she proclaims, though the new second trailer for Fast And The Furious spin-off Hobbs And Shaw actually looks very daft and very funny (imagine if Bill and Ted did John Wick). This… Hobbs And Shaw second trailer: “tell me this is not happening…” Read More
The Jim Jarmusch zombie trailer is hilarious and I’m dead (for now anyway)
*** My 3.5/5 review is now live *** The Dead Don’t Die trailer is an absolute hoot (or maybe a werewolf-y howl). Watch sheriff Adam Driver saying “Ghouls!” over and over (and over and over). Or mortician make-up artist Tilda Swinton accusing two awakening bodies she’s been working on “are you in this together?” in a Scottish accent….
