You Go Gal! Final WONDER WOMAN Trailer Hits

DUNKIRK Trailer: It Looks Like Christopher Nolan’s Pearl Harbor

I actually really like 2001’s Pearl Harbor. It’s a luscious Jerry Bruckheimer-Michael Bay extravaganza that I can really get behind (despite its flaws) – and I get the same sense of scope from this new trailer for Christopher [...]

I Had No Interest In THOR: RAGNAROK…Then The Trailer Hit

As much as I hate to admit it – this is one well cut trailer for Thor: Ragnarok. The music (a bit of led Zeppelin), the pacing, the humour – it all works. I enjoyed the original Thor, but didn’t feel anything for the second [...]

Get Ready For The MINDHORN Preview Tour With Julian Barratt & Simon Farnaby Q&A

Mindhorn looks great. It’s the type of thing which will be adored by people who love old television shows and feel a pang of sadness when they think about (or see) actors who are well past their glory. The tone of this seems to be spot-on. [...]

Movies In Focus is usually the first to lambast big budget action movies based on their trailers. However, I’m really liking what I see from The Mummy. Maybe it’s the Tom Cruise factor, or maybe it’s my love of old horror movies [...]

SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING Trailer Gets Bonus Points For Michael Keaton

I’m not going to lie – I prefer the Justice League trailer – I like the darkness (the thing everyone seems to hate). However, I admit that I enjoyed this trailer for Spider-Man: Homecoming. It’s a touch too light and smug, [...]

JUSTICE LEAGUE TRAILER: Now That’s What I’m Talking About!

Movies In Focus really digs this first full trailer for Zack Snyder’s Justice League. I like the group dynamic of it all. I’ll always be a DC Comics man at heart and I think Ben Affleck totally kills-it as Batman/Bruce Wayne (he might [...]

Gerard Butler Travels Back To The Future In The Trailer For Disaster Flick GEOSTORM

It looks like Geostorm would have been hot stuff back in the 1990s. The CGI, the destruction of cities and the whole operation room vibe strikes me of Deep Impact and Volcano scenario. This doesn’t have the pedigree of Armageddon or [...]
