Remembering David Ayer’s SUICIDE SQUAD

New Trailer For James Gunn’s THE SUICIDE SQUAD – Expect The Usual Divisive Rants

Here’s the latest trailer for James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. This sequel/reboot appears less generic (and brighter) than the David Ayer directed 2016 film and it looks to up the joke quota – but I get the feeling this is [...]

Uncovering Curiosities: Saul Dibb’s SUITE FRANCAISE

BIRDS OF PREY Trailer: Come Back Joel Schumacher, All Is Forgiven

Blu-ray Review: It’s A Game Of Thrones For Saoirse Ronan & Margot Robbie In MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS

A film which never manages to be the sum of its parts, Mary Queen Of Scots works as a character study of Saoirse Ronan‘s legendary Queen, but it fails to gain traction in order to set-up any true cinematic thrills. Ronan delivers in spades as [...]

Great Scots! It’s Saoirse Ronan Versus Margot Robbie In The Trailer For MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS

The early buzz is good on Mary, Queen Of Scots. The big reason to see this historical epic is find out what writer House Of Cards writer Beau Willimon can do with 16th Century political intrigue. The second is to see Saoirse Ronan go head-to-head [...]
