Dark Phoenix (last trailer).
Here’s the last trailer for the Dark Phoenix movie. It sounds like word on the street suggests this film won’t do so well once it opens (poor advance screenings and the like), but we’ll wait before it’s out to make our own mind up.

Okay, folks…here is a riddle that is in need of solving: what is painfully bloated, bombastic, loud, obnoxious and truly unnecessary in its return to the centre stage of hedonistic attention? No, it is not your insufferable drunk Uncle Chester at the annual family reunion picnic. However, if you had correctly guessed director Neil Marshall’s […]
Black Moon Rising (1986) (Blu-ray film review).
I’ve seen the 1986 film, ‘Black Moon Rising’, a couple times over the years. At the time, Linda Hamilton’s star was rising because of a certain ‘Terminator’ film. Tommy Lee Jones was rising ever higher although, checking IMdB, he’d been doing films for sometime, just not seen so many in the UK at the time. […]
Star Wars IX: The Rise of Skywalker.
Here’s the first trailer for this Christmas’s Star Wars movie, Star Wars IX: The Rise of Skywalker. Is the Force strong with this one? Maybe!
Wild Nights With Emily (2019) (a film review by Mark R. Leeper).
Emily Dickinson is usually portrayed as a sort of holy recluse who composed her poetry while living a life of quiet solitude. This semi-serious account of her private life suggests that there is little evidence to corroborate or contradict that interpretation of her emotional life. The film ‘Wild Nights With Emily’ is kept on a […]

Set in 1973 Los Angeles, the film tells the story of Anna Tate-Garcia (Linda Cardellini), […]

The Marvel Comics Universe won’t lose sleep anytime soon in terms of its dominance at the box office. Nevertheless, they should keep one eye open as DC Comics took a major baby step in showing what it can provide on the adventurous big screen with their latest entry into the offbeat super-hero sweepstakes. There have […]
Godzilla II: King of the Monsters (TV spot trailers).
There’s some more trailers out for the upcoming Godzilla II: King of the Monsters film. This latest instalment of the oversized freak franchise follows the thankless and largely unsuccessful efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its agents face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the terrible Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, […]
The Lion King (live-action 2019 movie) (trailer).
Here’s the 2nd trailer for the ‘live-action’ Lion King movie. Not so sure about the ‘live-action’ tag for this flick – isn’t this just 3D CGI animation versus the old hand-rendered sort? It’s not as if they have Jeremy Irons on all fours pretending to be Scar, now, is it? Those are some pretty big […]
The Addams Family (animated movie: trailer).
Get ready to snap your fingers! The Addams Family is back on the big screen in this animated comedy movie about the oddest family on the block – as voiced by Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, Chloë Grace Moretz, Finn Wolfhard, Nick Kroll with Bette Midler and Allison Janney.
