Arrow Films has debuted a new UK trailer for military drama, Good Kill. Starring Ethan Hawke as a former Las Vegas fighter pilot, the film charts his emotional journey as he winds up becoming a drone pilot for the US military. Splitting his days between his sky high employment, which sees him at the controls of a lethal machine aimed at the Taliban and a quaint, suburban existence, his inquisitive mind soon gets the better of him.
Marvel's forthcoming megamovie - Avengers: Age Of Ultron - looks set to bowl over audiences when it arrives this May, followed by an equally explosive experience with phase two closer, Ant-Man in July. This last batch of comic book spectacles have progressed from the films of phase one by creating a denser universe, drawing richer characters and of course, upping the explosions. Looking ahead to the future, and the stakes will be raised even higher for those loveable superheroes and villains with phase three's first flick, Captain America: Civil War.
Who doesn't love a good kidnapping movie? A bunch of criminal scamps, the blueprint-planning stage, and the final act of their plan unraveling in the shape of the kidnapping itself. From start to finish, there's tension and drama threaded throughout every step of the story. So, throw in an international icon AND beer and you're somewhere close to Daniel Alfredson's upcoming flick, Kidnapping Mr. Heineken.
Despite many movie fans denouncing any kind of remake, reboot or spinoff, the Rush Hour franchise is being revived in the shape of a spinoff TV series. Many shuddered when the small screen reboot was announced last year, as the news arrived during a season where it seemed as if every other day a random movie was plucked from history and placed in the reboot pile. This attempt at resurrecting a perfectly-fine-dead property does possess a winning factor, however, in producer Bill Lawrence.
Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's slapstick political comedy, The Interview, isn't exactly the sort of controversial movie you'd expect at the centre of a national security scandal. That is, however, exactly where it was situated late last year when the Sony movie came under fire from a faceless cyberterrorist group. The film emerged as an emblem for free speech - regardless of its quality, content or appeal - and has steadily acquired worldwide notoriety. With such a massive amount of column inches dedicated to the incident, it's become a globally-recognized name. One which Netflix has now snapped up.
The first international trailer for the female-centric actioner, Everly, landed late last year and promised a helluva blood-soaked caper. With that memorable teaser still in mind, it seemed impossible for any future previews to tweak the footage in an even more enticing way. That, however, is exactly the cast with this latest U.S. trailer that made its way online earlier today.
Last week's announcement of the 2015 Oscar nominees turned into a riotous public event across social media. From the two biggest talking points - the horrendous snub of critical smashes Selma and The LEGO Movie - to the shocking amount of nominations for the divisive American Sniper, there was plenty of debate. The sheer volume of backlash wasn't altogether surprising, as the Academy are known for their conservative, 'safe' choices that often leave many in the film community baffled. Now, thanks to The Shiznit, we have perhaps the best retort to the entire affair summed up in a series of cunning images.
The bleak mid-season finale for AMC's zombie serial, The Walking Dead, left Rick and co. in quite a conundrum. Their secure domicile of the prison was destroyed in season 4, which drove them to the cannibal trap of Terminus, before the crew splintered apart yet again. The aforementioned winter ender - Coda - finally reunited the group, albeit under sad circumstances. In light of the network's latest teaser trailer, it looks like the gang are in for more of the same for the remainder of the season.
After Looking’s season 2 premiere took a heavy-handed approach to pleasure over intimacy, the second episode dials it back a notch. Patrick’s emotional response steers much of the action, and so "Looking For Results" duly responds to the aftermath of having your cake and eating it. It might sound yawn-worthy, but it’s a fair assessment to say that diving into the “let’s analyze!” aspect of their affair doesn’t offer the same watchability as an impromptu shag against a tree from the season premiere. The consequences of his actions, however, cannot go without discussion.
A major location change for a main character in a show can suggest one of three possibilities: their story has reached an end, they’ve been axed, or in the case of Girls, it’s time to explore a post-collegiate twenty-something New Yorker out of water. And so begins 'Triggering', which adopts a format to the similar ‘standalone’ episodes of previous seasons focusing on one character’s arc. The band aid has been ripped away and Hannah’s adjustment to the Iowan way of life is exposed. For this new life venture, she’s without the on-hand comfort of Marnie, Jessa or Shoshanna to comprehend her alien environment. In the aftermath of last week’s explicit season introduction for Marnie, whose debut saw her getting rimmed over the kitchen sink, her appearance - along with Jessa and Shoshanna - is relegated to a brief Skype chat with Hannah. All the better for our leading girl to re-invent herself, right?
