Ryan Coogler reteams with his favorite muse, Michael B. Jordan in “Sinners”, a movie that has been described as a supernatural gothic action horror film (whew, that’s a mouthful). Coogler and Jordan have already worked together on a range of films that includes “Fruitvale Station”, “Creed”, and “Black Panther”. The new trailer for their latest collaboration adds another unique entry into their catalog.

Set in 1930s Louisiana, “Sinners” sees Jordan playing a young man involved in a troubling event alongside his twin brother. The two return to their hometown in hopes of making a new start. But they find a sinister force waiting on them which sends them to someplace dark and unexpected. Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Delroy Lindo, and Jayme Lawson also star. The trailer hints at a mysterious and compelling story. I can’t wait to see how it plays.

“Sinners” is set to release March 7, 2025. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

The idea of the Thunderbolts has always been an intriguing one. Stories revolving around a group of reformed supervillains working for the United States government is ripe with potential. It’s Marvel’s execution of that idea that has often been suspect. Now the Marvel Cinematic Universe is preparing to release their big screen version of the antihero supergroup and so far it hasn’t looked encouraging. The lineup hasn’t sparked much enthusiasm and neither does the newly released first trailer.

The trailer for “Thunderbolts” puts most of its emphasis on Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova who finds herself lured into a web with several other antiheroes including her father, Red Guardian (David Harbour), Bucky Barnes (Sebastain Stan), U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), and Sentry (Lewis Pullman). Through circumstances that somehow aren’t revealed in the nearly three-and-a-half minute trailer, the group of not-so-bad seeds are forced to work together against some global threat. A few other familiar faces return in what has been and remains an underwhelming new MCU installment.

“Thunderbolts” hit theaters May 2, 2025. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

Well Go USA has announced the home video release of “Exhuma”, the acclaimed South Korean supernatural horror thriller written and directed by Jang Jae-hyun. It’s an introspective yet foreboding ghost movie that follows the exhumation of an ominous grave that portends to hold the secret of a mysterious illness. But the characters end up unleashing something much more sinister. It’s a dark, disturbing, and brilliantly executed film that would become South Korea’s highest grossing film of 2024.

Mixing heady science-fiction with classic noir, “Alphaville” is considered a signature film of the French New Wave.

About the Film:

Year: 1965

Screenwriter: Jean-Luc Godard

Rating: NR

American secret agent Lemmy Caution (Eddie Constantine, “Attack of the Robots”) is sent to the distant space city of Alphaville where he must find a missing person and kill the inventor of fascist computer Alpha 60. Anna Karina (“The Nun”) and Akim Tamiroff (“Touch of Evil”) co-star in this cockeyed fusion of science-fiction with pulp characters and surrealist poetry. Godard’s irreverent journey to the mysterious Alphaville remains one of the least conventional films of all time. Beautifully shot in glorious black-and-white by Raoul Coutard (“Jules and Jim”, “First Name: Carmen”).

Bonus Content for “Alphaville” includes:

• 2023 HDR/Dolby Vision Master by StudioCanal – From 4K Scan of the Original Camera Negative
