M. Night Shyamalan got his career back on track with a couple of self-financed films (The Visit, Split) that did well critically and at the Box Office. The revelation that Split was a sequel (to Unbreakable, to my mind his best film) provoked a lot of speculation – along with the critical acclaim and financial […]

All the World Will Be Your Enemy Trailer: Watership Down!
Richard Adams’ novel Watership Down tells the story of a band of rabbits that are forced to leave their cozy warren because of encroaching technology – and the dangers they face on their journey to find a new home.

Sounds Like the Bad Guys Teaming Up Trailer: Glass!
Are the events of Unbreakable and Split merely the crazed imaginings of Kevin Wendel Crumb, David Dunn and Elijah Price? Is that why we find them in a mental health institution? The new trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s Glass makes that suggestion before breaking it apart. Glass Premieres on January 18, 2019.
You Came Here for Permission Trailer: Dark Phoenix!
The film mutant fans have been waiting for is almost here. Dark Phoenix will be in theaters on February 14th – and the trailer is suitably ominous. (Happy Valentine’s Day!)

Comic-Con 2018: First Name Mister Trailer: Glass!
The first trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s Glass premiered at Comic-Con 2018 this afternoon. It’s probably not quite what anyone was expecting, but it certainly hits all the beats we were hoping it would. Glass will get the new year off to one heckuva start, premiering on January 18, 2019.
Atomic Blonde Is Bloody, Glorious Fun!
Atomic Blonde may not be as supple, flexible and dynamic is its lead, but still punches above its head in odd and intriguing ways. To begin with, the action set pieces feel like they could have been part of a John Wick movie. Then there’s the feeling you get watching Charlize Theron – if she’s […]
Play The Tape Back International Trailer: Atomic Blonde!

In Atomic Blond, she’s sent into Berlin to bring a priceless dossier out of the destabilized city.

Rip Roarin’ Red Band Trailer: Atomic Blonde!
Charlize Theron stars as the titular Atomic Blonde of Universal’s new action flick – based on the hit comic from Oni Press. She’s MI6’s most lethal operative – the one you call on to fix things when others screw up badly (or if the job is just. that. important.). Sent alone into Berlin to deliver […]
Split – Shyamalan’s Best Since Unbreakable!
It’s been a long while since M. Night Shyamalan has produced a movie that’s as good as Split – just over sixteen years, in fact (since Unbreakable). He’s come close before – sixteen months ago, he almost did it with the fatally flawed The Visit – but he’s finally put it all together in this […]
23-Skidoo Trailer: Split!
One of Kevin’s 23 personalities has kidnapped three girls – for a yet-to-be-revealed 24th personality. The second trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s Split is dark, twisted and bizarrely witty. It suggests that the director is back to his The Sixth Sense/Unbreakable level of quality. Check it out after the break. Split opens in North America […]
Igor – I Mean Victor Frankenstein – Not Worth The Wait!
When the movie Igor was announced and James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe were attached, the premise – the story of Frankenstein told from the point of view of his assistant, Igor – I thought, ‘What a great premise!’ When the film’s title was changed to Victor Frankenstein, I thought, ‘That kinda makes sense – everyone […]
