GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE Trailer Has A Serious Stranger Things Vibe & It’ll Probably Anger Old White Guys

This second trailer for Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife is pretty good – but it’s not great. It’s lacking a stand-out moment – oomph! They really seem to be leaning heavily on the Stranger Things vibe here (the [...]

The 2020 Golden Globes Full Nominations List

It’s easy to become cynical when you write about movies. You get to see the good, the bad and the ugly and sometimes that makes you jaded. However, there’s nothing like watching quality movies succeed and when you see the list of [...]

Who You Gonna Call? Surprisingly Great New Trailer For GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE

You have to hand it to Sony Pictures for trying to keep the Ghostbusters franchise alive and kicking. They tried for about 20 years to get the original cast back for Ghostbusters 3 (to no avail) and they made a valiant effort with 2016’s [...]

AVENGERS: ENDGAME Opening Breaks Box Office Records

I’ve been keeping an eye on box office numbers since 1991 when Terminator 2: Judgment Day hit the screen. I’ve seen records set and broken but I have to admit that even I’m surprised at the mind-boggling grosses Avengers: Endgame is racking [...]

No Más: AVENGERS: ENDGAME Trailer

I can’t take it anymore. I’m tired, exhausted and unable to continue with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The fans will be there of course but I’m bailing on Avengers: Endgame. No more. Billions of dollars will be banked and then [...]

Trailer & Poster: Things Are About To Get Big In ANT- MAN AND THE WASP

Forget The Avengers and their Infinity War – Movies In Focus is looking forward to Ant-Man And The Wasp. It’s the follow-up to Marvel’s finest superhero movie pic over the last decade (except maybe Iron Man 3). Paul Rudd is once [...]

Don’t Keep Quiet About It: Trailer For Duncan Jones’ MUTE

Duncan Jones is three for three in the eyes of Movies In Focus. Moon, Source Code and even the unjustly maligned Warcraft all have their moments. I don’t expect Mute to be any different. The visual style of Blade Runner appears to loom large [...]

Good Things Come In Small Packages: ANT-MAN AND THE WASP Teaser Trailer

Movies In Focus continuously talks about suffering from superhero fatigue – and that’s true. However, Peyton Reed’s Ant-Man was a fresh, fun entry into the Marvel cannon that was aided by strong work from a game cast: Paul Rudd, [...]

First Images From Duncan Jones’s Netflix Sc-Fi Movie MUTE

Duncan Jones has developed an interesting career as a science fiction director. He kicked things off with Moon, moved on to Source Code and then went full blown studio auctioneer with Warcraft. Warcraft got a lot of bad press – but I quite [...]

ANT-MAN Teaser Trailer – It Could Have Been Worse

I have to be honest here – this trailer for Ant-Man could be worse. I’m hitting serious comic book fatigue with these Marvel movies but at least this has Michael Douglas to keep-up the interest levels. This sell-out comic book hell is [...]

ANT-MAN Poster: You’ll Think It’s Either Clever Or Obvious

Marvel has been on one heck of a financial and critical run over the last several years. However, people are smelling blood in the water for Ant-Man following Edgar Wright’s last minute departure from the director’s chair (he was [...]

Finally A Reason To See ANT-MAN: Michael Douglas Joins The Cast

I had zero interest in Edgar Wright‘s Ant-Man. None – zilch – nada. I was never going to watch it. I am now – Marvel announced it has signed Golden Globe winner Michael Douglas to play Hank Pym. I had no idea who that was – [...]
