Where has Aaron Eckhart been? I know he’s set to appear in Roland Emmerich’s hopefully good “Midway” later this year, but aside from that he’s been MIA for the last couple of years. I’ve always liked Eckhart and it’s good to see him headlining the upcoming action thriller “Line of Duty”.

The first trailer shows Eckhart playing a police officer who kills the only lead in the kidnapping of a teenage girl. Guilt drives him to risk his life and and race against the clock to find her before it’s too late. Interesting story and some pretty intense action makes this a movie worth looking out for.

“Line of Duty” is listed as ‘coming soon’ but early 2020 would be a good bet. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

Full disclosure, I’ll watch just about anything Ethan Hawke does so it’s pretty exciting when he has a new movie surface. He’s without question one of the busiest actors in the business and he always seems to have several new projects in the works. His latest is the oddly titled “Adopt a Highway”.

The film premiered at South by Southwest and is the directorial debut for Logan Marshall-Green (he also wrote the screenplay). The trailer shows Hawke homeless after being released from prison. Seemingly hopeless and depressed he finds an abandoned baby in a dumpster who inspires him to take heart and press on. It’s easy to be skeptical, but with Hawke and a solid first trailer I’m onboard.

“Adopt a Highway” is set to hit theaters November 1st (limited I’m sure). Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

Despite numerous failed attempts at engineering the perfect super soldier, military scientists (and filmmakers) are still trying to make it happen. The latest cinematic attempt comes in the form of “Bloodshot”. For the many who don’t know, Bloodshot is a comic book superhero of sorts from Valiant Comics who first appeared in 1992. And to be honest, I’ve always found him to be a pretty cool character.

Now he’s getting the big screen treatment and a new trailer is giving us our first look. Vin Diesel plays a soldier returning home to his wife after a tour of duty. Something really bad happens and he wakes up with nano-enhanced powers and a slimy scientist (played by the always great Guy Pearce) giving him the low-down. Turns out he has super strength, advanced quick healing, and no memory. You know, the normal stuff. Yes, much of this sounds familiar, but the trailer shows off some cool action spots and I’m interested in seeing Pearce, Eiza González, and Tobey Kebbell.

“Bloodshot” is slated for a February 21, 2020 release. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

Author Hugh Lofting’s classic character and perennial children’s favorite Dr. Dolittle has a long and impressive history. Since first appearing in 1920, he has went from page to radio to television to the big screen. He’s appeared on stage, in a musical, as an animated series, you name it.

His latest iteration sees the intensely likable Robert Downey, Jr. playing the titular animal-loving character. The first trailer sports a really sweet vibe, a load of creature CGI, and it reveals a really great supporting cast. And of course Downey, Jr. is an automatic plus. But it doesn’t give us much in terms of story and the film has had several notable delays. Let’s hope it’s huge budget delivers more than just pretty visuals.

“Dolittle” lands in theaters January 17th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

It’s tempting to say putting a huge amount of money into a movie based on a theme park ride sounds nuts. But then you think of a little film franchise called “Pirates of the Caribbean” and suddenly it doesn’t sound so crazy. “Jungle Cruise” sees Disney trying to strike gold yet again.

The first trailer for “Jungle Cruise” dropped late last week and I admit to being a little surprised. Right off the bat it gets points for casting Emily Blunt as its lead. She’s such a delightful actress full of energy and personality. And then they team her with someone else known for their energy and personality – Dwayne Johnson. The two look to be having a lot of fun and the jungle adventure angle has a ton of potential.

“Jungle Cruise” is slated for a July 24, 2020 release. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

The story behind the fall of Fox News mogul Roger Ailes amid accusations of sexual harassment seems perfect for the modern day big screen. But in such a ridiculously polarized and toxic political climate could they tell this story in a way that did justice to the facts and more importantly the women who risked their careers telling their stories? After watching the new trailer for “Bombshell” I still don’t know the answer to that.

The trailer’s cringy and glaringly on-the-nose opening instantly brings into question whether this is going to be an eye-opening expose or a heavy-handed political hit piece. Sure, that kind of garb will always have its apologists, but I’m more interested in the women (played by the compelling trio of Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie, and Charlize Theron) and their fight to expose workplace sexual harassment. Thankfully we get hints of that later in the trailer. So if they keep the nonsense out and stick with the true story this could be really good. Needless to say I’m a little skeptical.

“Bombshell” hits theaters December 20th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or giving it a pass.
