I really wanted to like The Eyes of My
Mother. It had great reviews, was supposedly a brutal, terrifying
slow burn, and all around sounded like my jam. While it is all of those things,
it just didn’t do it for me. (You can read my REVIEW if you’re so inclined.)
But that’s not going to stop it from opening, and a new trailer is here to
creep you out.

This 'Rambo' Reboot Is Going To Be Dumb As Shit
There’s been talk of a new Rambo movie
since, well, Sylvester Stallone dusted off one of his most celebrated
characters for 2008’s Rambo. A number of versions have
kicked around over the years, and now it sounds like not only has one idea
actually stuck, it’s the stupidest fucking one anyone could come up with.

'Inferno' (2016) Movie Review
Watching Ron Howard’s new thriller,
Inferno, I couldn’t help but mentally compare Tom Hanks’
adventurous Harvard symbology professor and puzzle enthusiast, Robert Langdon,
to Matthew McConaughey’s Wooderson from Dazed and Confused.
He keeps getting older, but his youngish, brown-haired female sidekicks stay
(roughly) the same age.

Watch Clive Owen Drive Angry In Neill Blomkamp Directed Short 'The Escape'
Sure, his last couple of movies haven’t been great
(Elysium was less than stellar, and who the hell thought it
was a good idea to put Die Antwoord in a movie about an adorable robot?), but at
least visually, Neill Blomkamp is still one of the most exciting filmmakers out
there right now. Though the Alien movie he’s been developing
got back-burnered, the South African director has a quick-hitter for us to
enjoy, the short, BMW-produced actioner The Escape. Check it
out below.

'Jack Reacher: Never Go Back' (2016) Movie Review
Jack Reacher didn’t light the world on
fire, but it’s fine for what it is—a stripped-down, mid-budget, star-driven
actioner. Despite the fact that Tom Cruise is all of 5’7” and the titular
character in Lee Childs’ series of novels is a hulking 6’5”, he has—even with
my father’s constant rantings and railings on the subject—the metaphorical
stature to play the role. Through not a bank-breaking success, the first
picture made enough cash to warrant a sequel, and we all wanted to know if
Cruise could pull it off again in Jack Reacher: Never Go
Back.
Hugh Jackman Gets Grim, Grizzled, And Head-Stabby In First 'Logan' Trailers
Hugh Jackman’s last go-round as the fan-favorite,
claw-having, self-healing mutant Wolverine is bearing down on us quickly, and
Logan, as it’s been dubbed, promises something very
different from your typical X-Feature. Just how different is
readily apparent in the first trailer. Check it out below, along with a red
band version.

First 'Guardians Of The Galaxy 2' Trailer Needs A Hug
Over the last couple of days, we’ve heard rumblings that our
first look at Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 might arrive with
Marvel’s latest joint, Doctor Strange. But lo and behold, we
don’t even have to wait that long, because a shiny new teaser just hit the airwaves.
Check it out below.

'In A Valley Of Violence' (2016) Movie Review
If westerns have taught us nothing else—and I’ve taken far
too many life lessons from the genre—it’s that nothing brings a killer who has
renounced killing back to his old ways like messing with his family or his dog.
That’s the primary education a small-town numbskull learns in writer/director Ti
West’s take on the spaghetti western, In a Valley of
Violence.

'The Accountant' (2016) Movie Review
It’s rare to describe a single film as both cute and stunningly
violent, but here we are talking about The Accountant, which
is weirdly adorable for a movie where so many people get shot in the head.
The 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' Final Trailer Is Epic, Stirring, And Beautiful
It’s safe to say, most of us are excited for a Star
Wars movie, any Star Wars movie. But we have a lot
to look forward to with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story later
this year—it’s the first of the “standalone” films, it explores different
corners of that far, far away galaxy we all adore, it’s supposedly a gritty war
film, it has little to do with the Force, and much more. And it looks
incredible, including the latest, purportedly final trailer. Check it out
below.

Iko Uwais Continues To Pummel Everyone In New 'Headshot' Trailer
February 2017 is shaping up to be a wonderful month for fans
of bone-crunching fight scenes and wild gunplay. At least as far as movies go.
Not only does John Wick: Chapter 2 open, but The Raid
star Iko Uwais is back to dismantle dudes in the Mo Brothers’
Headshot. The film made the fall festival rounds and just
dropped a second trailer that continues to deliver on the promise of the first.

John Wick Works On Retirement In The First 'John Wick: Chapter 2' Trailer
Don’t mind that noise, that’s just the sound of me in the corner squealing with glee at the first footage from John Wick: Chapter 2. I won’t waste your time with words on an important occasion like this. Check it out for yourself below.

'Boyka: Undisputed' Gets A Badass New Trailer And Clip
I maintain that if he’d been born a generation earlier, we’d
speak about Scott Adkins in hushed, reverent tones reserved for the legends of the
action realm. But an accident of birth doesn’t make his movies any less badass
or me anticipate them any less. Next up, he returns to his best known franchise
for Boyka: Undisputed, the fourth installment in the
franchise, and with the release approaching, Millennium Films released a new
clip and trailer.

'The Girl On The Train' (2016) Movie Review
The easy comparison for Tate Taylor’s mystery thriller
The Girl on the Train is Gone Girl. They’re
both based on massively popular, best-selling novels, books that became bona fide
cultural sensations, and the marketing team has done everything in its power to
evoke David Fincher’s artfully trashy noir. More accurate comparisons, however,
are the generic thrillers that populate the Lifetime Movie Network. (Also, I can’t
be the only one annoyed that every mystery with an adult female protagonist has to be
The Girl did This, The Girl with That, This
Girl, can I?)
'The Birth Of A Nation' (2016) Movie Review
It’s rare that a single word accurately describes an entire
movie. But in the case of The Birth of a Nation, Nate
Parker’s dramatic reenactment of Nat Turner’s 1831 slave rebellion, one word
keeps springing to mind: raw. And I mean raw in damn near every sense I can.

Lucile Hadzihalilovic's Sci-Fi Body Horror 'Evolution' Delivers A Surreal, Disturbing U.S. Trailer
Married to well-known filmic provocateur
Gaspar Noe, and serving as producer, editor, and writer on the likes of
I Stand Alone and Enter the Void, French filmmaker
Lucile Hadzihalilovic is no stranger to challenging, transgressive cinema. But
she’s also a director, turning in her own savage, subversive movies, and her
latest, Evolution—a movie I love—just dropped a haunting new
trailer.
