Trailer For German-Language WWII Thriller THE CAPTAIN

Robert Schwentke (The Time Travelers Wife, Flight Plan, Red, Insurgent) is something of a studio journeyman helmer. Nothing wrong with that – but he really seems to have stretched himself with WWII drama The Captain. Stark, crisp [...]

Trailer For Irish Famine Drama BLACK 47

For such an earth-shattering occurance, there have been very few films dealing with the Great Irish Famine. The Famine killed millions and its aftermath still echoes throughout the country 200 years later. Director Lance Daly is tackling the event [...]

Die Hard In A Football Stadium With Dave Bautista & Pierce Brosnan In FINAL SCORE

Bautista. Brosnan. Action. What more could you want from a B-level actioner? Maybe Nicolas Cage or Bruce Willis – but apart from that nothing. Final Score is essentially Die Hard in a Football stadium. But I ask you – when was the last [...]

Do The Monster Mash-Up: GODZILLA II: KING OF THE MONSTERS Trailer

Movies In Focus enjoyed Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla (read the review). It’s now four years on and we get a sequel, this time directed by Michael Dougherty. Godzilla II: King of the Monsters looks solid with some nice visuals but you know [...]

Wet Wet Wet! The AQUAMAN Trailer Is Here

I’m finding this first trailer for Aquaman something of a damp squib. Too much CGI and gravity defying action. I know Jason Momoa will deliver – but I don’t think the movie will. A shame. But you never know, I could be wrong. Check out [...]

Opinions Won’t Be Split On This Unbreakable Trailer For M. Night Shyamalan’s GLASS

M. Night Shyamalan is back. I don’t mean back as in ‘back with a new movie’, I mean back on form. He had a few years where he wasn’t delivering like he did in the early days (The Sixth Sense. Unbreakable, Signs, The Village [...]

Ready Freddie Go: The Latest Trailer For BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY

This latest trailer for Bryan Singer (and Dexter Fletcher)’s Queen/Freddie Mercury biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody lacks the punch of the first. This seems more like a musical-comedy than a solid rock biopic. I think that’s bad. Rami Malek [...]

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 [...]

See Zachary Levi In Costume For The First Official SHAZAM! Image

Movies In Focus doesn’t care about Shazam!. It’s a terrible title and I have no idea who Zachary Levi is. Maybe if they throw in Superman, Batman or Wonder Woman, I might be interested. But some kid shouting Shazam! and turning into a [...]

Mind-Bending Trailer For Nicolas Cage Revenge Flick MANDY

I didn’t know what to expect when I hit the play button on this trailer for Mandy but boy, does it pack a punch. Stylistically powerful and intense, Mandy looks like it could be Nicolas Cage‘s best movie in years. The visuals on display [...]

Musical Interlude: Rose Byrne, Ethan Hawke & Chris O’Dowd In The Adaptation Of Nick Hornby’s JULIET, NAKED

Away from the silver screen, Movies In Focus‘ great passions are music and literature. These passions usually converge in the work of the great Nick Hornby, a man who knows his way around the male psyche. His book Juliet, Naked is an excellent [...]

Second Trailer For Shane Black’s THE PREDATOR Is Better, But Still Not Great

I never thought that I wouldn’t be jazzed by a trailer for a Predator film starring Thomas Jane, written and directed by Shane Black. Sadly, that’s the case for the second time. In fairness, this second effort is much better than the [...]

Trailer: Michael B. Jordan Is Back In The Ring For CREED II

Michael B. Jordan’s Adonis Creed has loyalty inside his DNA, apparently. That’s the reason why he’s going to face Viktor Drago (Florian Munteanu) in the ring in Creed II. Drago senior (Dolph Lundgren) was the man who killed [...]

40 Years On: New Trailer And Poster For THE DEER HUNTER

It’s been 40 years since Michael Cimino’s The Deer Hunter hit screens. The success of the film led to Cimino being given carte blanche for Heaven’s Gate, a film which would almost destroy a studio (United Artists) and bury the era [...]

Umm, Yeah Here’s The Trailer For Tim Burton’s DUMBO

Movies In Focus isn’t the target audience for Disney’s new live action take on Dumbo (i.e. 30+ male). In fact, I shouldn’t even be writing about it. However, it’s directed by Tim Burton and it stars Colin Farrell and Michael [...]

Reach New Heights With Ryan Gosling As The Trailer For FIRST MAN Takes-Off

Ryan Gosling and Damien Chazelle re-team after La La Land with First Man, the true story behind NASA’s first moon landing. This first trailer seems to be playing up the suspense aspect of the mission – will Gosling’s Neil [...]

The Halloween franchise has had a long and convoluted history, but now David Gordon Green and Danny McBride have cleared the board and reset to near zero (with the help of Jason Blum and John Carpenter). Halloween 2018 pitches itself as the true [...]

Trailer: Who Knew Bradley Cooper & Lady Gaga Would Be The Ones To Bring A STAR IS BORN To The Screen?

Hollywood has been trying to get a new version of A Star Is Born off the ground for decades. Somehow Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga managed to achieve what the likes of Tom Cruise, Clint Eastwood and Beyonce failed to do. Who knew? The buzz on this [...]

Trailer For Robert Redford’s Cinematic Swansong THE OLD MAN AND THE GUN

A lot of atrocious movie trailers come along (I’m looking at you Bumblebee) but every so often one drops which gives you that cinematic tingle – this effort for David Lowery’s The Old Man And The Gun did just that. It stars the [...]
