    Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024)

    This featurette is particularly interesting to me because it features Andy Serkis says the film is good. Although Caesar died in War For the Planet of the Apes, because it is motion capture, they could have used Andy Serkis in another role. But that does not seem to be the case. It's...

    Lord of the Rings Extended Editions coming back to a theater near you

    I would not expect that to be the case. My local Cinemark is just showing it on a standard screen (which will still be better than what I have at home.) But in June, especially, the premium screens are going to be occupied by big summer blockbusters. If they were going after premium screens...

    Lord of the Rings Extended Editions coming back to a theater near you

    Cinemark already showed these in January this year. They seem to come back every now and again, but not in a scheduling pattern that works for me. Even as an extremely frequent moviegoer, going three days in a row for very long films is too much. It would make more sense to take the approach...

    Challengers (2024)

    Why is that sad? The plot appears to involve a triangle between the three characters. It makes sense to have that be in the marketing. Zendaya is both an actor and a producer on this film. If that wasn't something she wanted to do, she wouldn't have done it. Further, unless the trailer is...

    Challengers (2024)

    I don't like tennis. No shade to anyone who does. It's not my thing. However, I'm going to see Challengers because I think the movie looks good. The trailer piqued my interest. And, yes, I will be going at least in part because Zendaya is in it and I like her previous work. She's done her...

    Challengers (2024)

    We'll see if you're right this weekend. MGM/Amazon certainly hope you are wrong. There is no question that it is being sold to audiences based on Zendaya's presence in a much bigger way than any of her previous films have been.

    Challengers (2024)

    In this case, the director (Luca Guadagnino) and writer (Justin Kuritzkes) are different people. When we talk about Christopher Nolan, for example, repeatedly liking to use nonlinear narratives, he is usually writing or co-writing the films he directs. Kuritzkes wrote Challengers before...

    Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)

    It's definitely the TVA. We know this because they were featured even more prominently in the first teaser.

    Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)

    For me, the trailer didn't really tell me why I should care about what is happening to either of these characters at this point. I don't need the story to be spelled out in detail, nor am I interested in spoilers. But I don't really see an emotional hook here. The trailer is just a lot of...

    Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)

    Am I the only one who thought that trailer looks just OK? It doesn't look bad but I'm underwhelmed.

    American Fiction (2023)

    Yes. But wouldn't it ultimately be up to Amazon as to whether or not the movie gets a physical release? Even if they have a distribution deal with SDS, I doubt every film they put out is required to be released. They could have chosen to keep it as a streaming exclusive. It's a good thing...

    American Fiction (2023)

    Gruv is now taking pre-orders for a physical Blu-ray. This site is direct from the distributor, Studio Distribution Services, which handles physical media for Universal and Warner Bros. titles. So SDS is probably preparing a disc release. There would be no reason to take. pre-orders for...
