Going in Style is the rare remake that is better than the original. That’s because it creates a plausible (if not entirely believable) set of circumstances in which three octogenarians are forced to consider the unlikely remedy of robbing a bank – and are smart enough to do it.

Dressed Like A Bat. I Dig It! Trailer: Justice League!
The loooonnnnng awaited Justice League trailer is here. It’s moody and Zack Snyder ponderous, but with some actual humor and wit. Combined with the previously released Comic-Con footage and it could be very interesting – maybe even really good. There’s also a new poster. Justice League opens on November 17th.

Warner Bros. has released a couple snippets of film to tease the release of the first trailer of Justice League on Saturday – one featuring Aquaman (Jason Momoa) and one featuring Batman (Ben Affleck). Justice League opens on November 17th.
The Origin Trailer: Wonder Woman!
The new Wonder Woman trailer was premiered on the Kids Choice Awards this evening. It shows how Diana, daughter of Hippolyta, earned the right to be Wonder Woman – and has a small, witty bit with Etta Candy (Lucy Davis) as a capper. Wonder Woman premieres on June 2nd.
The Batman Has Its Director!
Matt Reeves has signed on the dotted line and will direct the next standalone Batman film, The Batman, starring Ben Affleck. It’s an excellent choice as Reeves can handle horror-suspense (Let Me In), and big budget action-adventure (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes).
The Born King Trailer: King Arthur: Legend of the Sword!
Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur: Legend of the Sword looks to be a huge reimagining of the Arthurian myth – on a scale with John Boorman’s exquisite Excalibur, but considerably less shiny. The new trailer for King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is set against an immediately recognizable Led Zeppelin tune. The result is pretty impressive.
3 O’Clock High with Teachers (Very NSFW) Trailer: Fist Fight!
The red band trailer for Warner Bros. new R-rated last day of school movie, Fist Fight, is hilarious. I just hope that the trailer’s creators didn’t include all the best bits in it. Fist Fight opens on February 17th.

Bear In Mind This Isn’t The Red Band Trailer Trailer: CHiPs!
When I first heard that Warner Bros. was turning CHiPs into an action-comedy movie I was a bit leery – but then it occurred to me that they might turn it into a 21 Jump Street kind of update. The first trailer premiered last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live and it seems like that’s what’s […]
New Blade Runner Seeks Former Blade Runner Trailer: Blade Runner 2049!
Warner Bros. has released it first teaser trailer for Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049. To say it’s atmospheric would be an understatement as LAPD Officer K uncovers the whereabouts of former blade runner Rick Deckard. Check it out after the break. Blade runner 2049 opens on June 10, 2017.
Collateral Beauty – I Hated This Movie!
Collateral Beauty is a story about grief, recovery and redemption – themes also found in Kenneth Lonergan’s brilliant Manchester By Sea. It angered me because it appeared to be an entirely different movie than the one suggested by the trailers – and by being a remarkably treacly film on its own merits.
