First Glance: “Greta” Trailer

Greta1

A couple of days ago I showed the trailer for “Ma”. The second 2019 movie featuring an unexpected actor/actress playing a creepy horror movie nutcase is “Greta” and it stars none other than Isabelle Huppert. This thing looks absolutely nuts (and that’s intended as a compliment).

Huppert looks to be having a blast playing a lonely French piano teacher turned raving psychopath and Chloë Grace Moretz plays the object of her mad obsession. These types of films can go either way, but I’m pretty intrigued.

“Greta” opens soon – March 1st to be exact. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be checking it out or giving it a pass.

First Glance: “Ma” Trailer

There seems to be a new wave of horror thrillers featuring unexpected actors or actresses playing terrorizing nutcases (more on that later in the week). I kinda like that. One of them sees (of all people) Octavia Spencer playing a small town hermit who woos teenagers to come party in her basement. She supplies the booze and the party space, but (as we see in the trailer) she’s not what you would call…stable.

The new trailer for “Ma” has dropped and it has some real potential especially with Spencer at the helm. Check it out below and let me know if you’ll be checking it out or giving it a pass.

First Glance: “Yesterday” Trailer

YesterdayMOVIE

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.

First Glance: “Hotel Mumbai” Trailer

Mumbai

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?

First Glance: “Hobbs and Shaw” Trailer

HOBBS1

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.

 

First Glance: “The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot” Trailer

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?
