Now here’s a peculiar but potentially fun movie with a brand new trailer. “Yesterday” is the new film from director Danny Boyle and is written by Richard Curtis (“Love Actually”). It’s concept is a bit nuts. A struggling musician named Jack is hit by a bus and wakes up in a world where The Beatles never existed. Here’s the thing, he still remembers all their songs. Also some weird global power flicker somehow fits into it all.

Jack ends up a worldwide mega-star singing Beatles tunes as his own. Like I said, its concept is a bit nuts. “Yesterday” hits theaters June 28th. Check out the trailer below and tell me if you will be giving it a look or a skip.

The trailer for Anthony Maras’ “Hotel Mumbai” has dropped and I’m thinking it has some potential. The film is set during the 2008 attacks in Mumbai, India. For four days a total of twelve attacks were carried out across Mumbai. Nearly 170 victims died and over 300 were injured. The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel and its nearly 450 guests was targeted on November 28th.

There is definitely enough there for a meaty story and we see some good things in the trailer. Here’s hoping they’re able to pull in off. I’m certainly interested.

“Hotel Mumbai” opens March 22, 2019. Check out the trailer below and tell me what you think. Will you be giving it a look?

With eight movies in the bag and over $5 billion in the bank I think it’s safe to say that the Fast and Furious franchise has been a huge (and probably unexpected) success. So in normal Hollywood fashion you gotta gave a spin-off, right?

The first of probably several offshoot films dropped its first trailer and lets just say it looks to be fully embracing the outrageous action and overall absurdity the series has become known for. That’s a good thing. “Hobbs and Shaw” thrusts Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham into the spotlight and there looks to be no shortage of big set pieces and goofy humor. Oh, and Idris Elba as the baddie? I’m in.

“Hobbs and Shaw” lands August 2nd. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing this sure-fire box office hit.

We definitely have our first candidate for Funkiest Movie Title of 2019. “The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot” would have me onboard just by its title alone. But there are several other things that excite me. First and foremost we get Sam Elliott in a starring role and who doesn’t like Sam Elliott? Second, it has a really cool look to it. Just take a gander at the trailer below.

It looks like “The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot” opens in select theaters and on streaming platforms February 8th. So tell me, will you be seeing it or are you giving it a pass?

Over the past several days we’ve celebrated the best films and best performances from 2018. This is not that. Today I’m wrapping up my look back at 2018 by giving the year’s biggest stinkers their moment to…..shine. While it was a pretty good year for movies it wasn’t without its blemishes. Here are the five worst films I saw in 2018.

#5 – “The 15:17 to Paris”

I admit to feeling bad about this one. I mean at least Clint Eastwood deserves credit for trying something interesting. But when the end product is this flat and the acting this atrocious, it’s hard to give it a pass. It’s an amazing true story but the incredibly messy script doesn’t do it justice and casting the real-life heroes to play themselves proved to be the wrong choice.

#4 – “Winchester”

There’s a good movie here somewhere but we certainly don’t get a sniff of it. My biggest beef with this film is that it is so frustratingly bland. This thing never seems to get its footing. It just sits in neutral spinning its wheels and going nowhere. It’s devoid of any scares whatsoever and the aimless story will have you nodding off before the halfway point.

#3 – “Vice”

I’m still struggling to understand how “Vice” is getting so much awards season attention. With the exception of Christian Bale (who gives a strong performance), there is little to salvage from David McKay’s bloated, messy, and heavy-handed manifesto. Outside of Bale it’s hard to find something to latch onto. A tonal disaster from the start, it’s hard to figure out what McKay wants this to be. It’s an exhausting film.

#2 – “Rampage”

Dwayne Johnson’s beefy personality and cheesy smile can only cover up so much. It certainly can’t save the painfully dumb “Rampage”. Talk about a movie with an identity crisis. On minute it’s trying (and failing) to be funny, next minute it’s deadly serious. One scene seems aimed at kids, the next scene is pushing its PG-13 rating. In the end absolutely none of it comes together.

#1 – “The Strangers: Prey at Night”

Part of my dislike for this film is due to disappointment. But the bulk of it comes from the simple fact that it’s a terrible movie. The first “Strangers” film was a good horror picture with some genuine tension. This uninspired sequel offers nothing new or original. Honestly it doesn’t even try. The shallow story is only outdone by the shallow characters, none of which are the slightest bit interesting. Shamefully lazy and painfully generic. This is one lousy sequel.

So what about you? Agree or disagree with my choices? What would have made your list?

Out of this year’s batch of January Netflix Originals none have intrigued me as much as “Polar”. There are several reasons for it, none bigger than the film’s star Mads Mikkelsen. This super stylized action flick is an adaptation of a graphic novel series focused on an international hitman. Who better to play an international hitman than Mads.

The trailer dropped a few days ago and the movie is set to land on Netflix tomorrow (January 25th). Check out the trailer below and tell me what you think in the comments section. Will you be giving “Polar” a look?
