Atlanta (Series Trailer)
June 7, 2016
This is a trailer you have to feel, more so than understand, to get… really get. Seems like it might be a departure from his gig on “Community” (the sitcom from NBC a while back).
It’s Atlanta. FX’s new original series starring Donald Glover begins this September. Starring and created by Donald Glover, Atlanta revolves around two cousins on their way up through the Atlanta rap scene whose opposing views on art versus commerce, success and race will make their quest anything but easy.
Yep, Donald Glover might well bring some of that Childish Gambino vibe to the TV screen.

Marauders (Trailer)
June 3, 2016
What is the difference between a question and an allegation?
An allegation is the one you don’t answer.
Boom! Classic dialog like that, a well-balanced starring cast, and Christopher Meloni (best known as Detective Stabler from the Law & Order: SVU television series) getting to the bottom of the caper… This “Marauders” trailer is teasing what looks to be an intriguing piece of cinema worth catching with some pricey popcorn.
An untraceable group of elite bank robbers is chased by a suicidal FBI Agent who uncovers a deeper purpose behind the robbery-homicides.

Deepwater Horizon (Trailer)
June 2, 2016
A star-studded cast, telling a compelling story that viewers do not have to ‘get’ to get into. Wahlberg and all-star crew did the do with this one. Summer blockbuster written all over this trailer. Hope it does the numbers needed with all the superhero movies out and coming out. A great action drama looms on the Horizon (yeah).
On April 20th, 2010, one of the world’s largest man-made disasters occurred on the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico. Directed by Peter Berg (Lone Survivor), this story honors the brave men and women whose heroism would save many on board, and change everyone’s lives forever.
Oh sh!t… this actually happened????

Free State Of Jones (Trailer)
May 31, 2016
Should be really dope. I remember author Sally Jenkins’ appearance on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart years ago… talking about “The State Of Jones” book (see that here). Great story. The trailer above teases a movie that seems like it will do the story justice.
Written and directed by four-time Oscar nominee Gary Ross (THE HUNGER GAMES, SEABISCUIT, PLEASANTVILLE), and starring Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey. FREE STATE OF JONES is an epic action-drama set during the Civil War, and tells the story of defiant Southern farmer, Newt Knight, and his extraordinary armed rebellion against the Confederacy.
Banding together with other small farmers and local slaves, Knight launched an uprising that led Jones County, Mississippi to secede from the Confederacy, creating a Free State of Jones.
Knight continued his struggle into Reconstruction, distinguishing him as a compelling, if controversial, figure of defiance long beyond the War.
In Theaters June 24, 2016.

This Is Us (Series Trailer)
May 20, 2016
Okay. It has been hard for me to get excited about NBC programming lately. I have seen them mess up some quality shows, and watched them invest heavily in some messed up shows, but with “This Is Us”… Heck, NBC may yet prove it can provide good TV… something other than a show with Law & Order in its title. Okay, that was an unnecessary jab (but I’m still sore about ‘The Player’ being sacked).
From the writer and directors of “Crazy, Stupid, Love,” this refreshingly honest and provocative new series stars Mandy Moore, Sterling K. Brown and Milo Ventimiglia. Coming soon to NBC.
24: Legacy (Series Trailer)
May 19, 2016
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This looks really spectacular.
Looks like Fox is going back to the well. This ain’t your pop’s Jack Bauer “24”… Nah, man. The clock resets for “24: Legacy.” And the trailer is EVERYTHING. No more words. Just watch, and wait longingly for the debut next year.
The clock ticks again! 24: LEGACY chronicles an adrenaline-fueled race against the clock to stop a devastating terrorist attack on United States soil.

Lupita Nyong’o – you KNOW we are fans of hers on here. In this movie, “Queen Of Katwe,” she plays a mother who hopes her daughter (Fiona, played by Madina Nalwanga) can have a better life (away from the impoverished Katwe township). The vehicle that will take her baby out of the slums? Chess!
A young girl from Uganda trains to become a world chess champion.

(In theaters September 2016.)

The Land (Trailer)
May 12, 2016
Teenage buddies Cisco, Boobie, Junior, and Patty Cake skateboard the streets of Cleveland, Ohio, dreaming of getting discovered by a sponsor and skating their way out of poverty. That is until the boys discover a bag full of pills in the back of a stolen car. Cisco’s entrepreneurial instincts take over, and in a flash their lives get better. But no one counted on having to come face to face with the cold, calculating, and notorious drug queenpin, “Momma,†who runs the toughest gang in town.
Director Steven Caple Jr. makes an auspicious debut with this atmospheric film filled with pitch-perfect performances by an ensemble cast, including newcomer Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Erykah Badu, Machine Gun Kelly, Michael Kenneth Williams, and Linda Emond, who is bone chilling as Momma. More than a crime drama, “The Land” is a beautifully rendered story about friendship, values, and what it means for disaffected youth to come of age on the streets of Cleveland.

Southside With You (Trailer)
May 9, 2016
Before they were the Prez and First Lady… before they were perhaps one of the world’s most adorable couples… there had to be a first date. This is that story.
Inspired by Barack and Michelle Obama’s first date, “Southside With You,” recounts the eventful summer day in 1989 when a young law firm associate named Barack Obama (Parker Sawyers) tried to woo lawyer Michelle Robinson (Tika Sumpter) during a daylong date that took them from the Art Institute of Chicago to a screening of Spike Lee’s “Do the Right Thing” to the site of their first kiss outside of an ice cream parlor.

Snowden (Trailer)
May 2, 2016
September 16, 2016. Mark your calendars. Oliver is putting his Stones on the table to tell what looks to be the end-all real-life spy drama based on the life and dealings of former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden. Blowing the whistle on what is more than arguably the world’s most secretive organization… strap in!
Academy Award®-winning director Oliver Stone, who brought Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, Wall Street and JFK to the big screen, tackles the most important and fascinating true story of the 21st century. Snowden, the politically-charged, pulse-pounding thriller starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Shailene Woodley, reveals the incredible untold personal story of Edward Snowden, the polarizing figure who exposed shocking illegal surveillance activities by the NSA and became one of the most wanted men in the world. He is considered a hero by some, and a traitor by others. No matter which you believe, the epic story of why he did it, who he left behind, and how he pulled it off makes for one of the most compelling films of the year.

Hands Of Stone (Trailer)
April 29, 2016
Trailer looks good. Damn good! When Robert De Niro (as trainer Ray Arcel) says, “You’re Roberto Duran. Get in there and act like it…” Whew!!
“Hands Of Stone” follows the life of Roberto Duran (Edgar Ramirez), the Panamanian fighter who made his professional debut in 1968 as a 16 yearâ€old and retired in 2002 at the age of 50. In June 1980, he defeated Sugar Ray Leonard (Usher Raymond) to capture the WBC welterweight title, but shocked the boxing world by returning to his corner in their November rematch, famously saying the words “no mas†(no more.)
The up-and-comings of Roberto Duran. So much more than ‘no mas’ (hope the film really shows that).

The Magnificent Seven (Trailer)
April 28, 2016
Yeah, this is gonna work! Denzel’s capability to bring new life to classic gritty concepts (exhibit A: his performance in “The Equalizer”), combined with some weighty co-star casting and that the target audience will be folks who’d like a reboot of the original “Magnificent Seven” movie AND folks who may not have even born when that was released… And the trailer is kick azz. Let’s go!
Director Antoine Fuqua brings his modern vision to a classic story in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures’ and Columbia Pictures’ “The Magnificent Seven.“ With the town of Rose Creek under the deadly control of industrialist Bartholomew Bogue (Peter Sarsgaard), the desperate townspeople employ protection from seven outlaws, bounty hunters, gamblers and hired guns – Sam Chisolm (Denzel Washington), Josh Farraday (Chris Pratt), Goodnight Robicheaux (Ethan Hawke), Jack Horne (Vincent D’Onofrio), Billy Rocks (Byung-Hun Lee), Vasquez (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), and Red Harvest (Martin Sensmeier). As they prepare the town for the violent showdown that they know is coming, these seven mercenaries find themselves fighting for more than money.
In theaters September 23, 2016.
