Crimson Peak
Directed by Guillermo del Toro
Starring Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston, Charlie Hunnam and Mia Wasikowska
In the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider.Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds… and remembers. (AW HELL NO!)
Guillermo del Toro always makes an interesting movie. While I'm not really a fan of horror movies, his I usually always enjoy. I am looking forward to this one. In theaters October 16th.
Poltergeist
Directed by Gil Kenan
Starring Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt, Jared Harris and Saxon Sharbino
A reboot of the classic horror film from the 80s (A film in which a light bulb that was turned off exploded above my head while I was watching it alone… no joke), this movie is about a family who moves into a suburban home, only to discover that their home contains the portal to the ghost world, and several paranormal entities invade their humble abode…. Nope, nope nope NOPE!
The original franchise proved that kids are only cute up to a certain age. Then they just become awkward. At which point you want the ghosts to keep them, but now the ghosts are too afraid of them. Oh how the tables have turned. Sam Raimi (Producer) likes to ruin old horror movies, including his own "The Evil Dead", so we'll see how this turns out. In theaters July 24th.
The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Directed by Guy Ritchie
Starring Henry Cavill, Alicia Vikander, Armie Hammer and Hugh Grant
In the early 1960s, CIA agent Napoleon Solo and KGB operative Illya Kuryakin participate in a joint mission against a mysterious criminal organization, which is working to proliferate nuclear weapons.
Comedic spy movies are often a 50/50 rate of success. Sometimes they're terrible (I'm looking at you, "Mortdecai"! Bad "Mortdecai"!). Sometimes they're just really fun (Yay, "Kingsman"!). Knowing Guy Ritchie ("Snatch", "Sherlock Holmes"), I think it's safe to bet that this will end up in the latter category. I'm looking forward to seeing this in theaters on August 14th.
Hot Pursuit
Directed by Anne Fletcher
Starring Reese Witherspoon, Sofía Vergara, Michael Mosley and Jodi Lyn Brockton
An inept police officer must protect a drug dealer's widow from criminals and dirty cops.
I enjoyed not seeing this when it was called "Heat". But with this whole "trying to watch a movie a day" thing I'm doing, I might end up seeing this AND "Heat". Let's hope they both surprise me. In theaters May 8th.
The Age of Adeline
Directed by Lee Toland Kreiger
Starring Blake Lively, Harrison Ford, Amanda Crew, Michiel Huisman and Ellen Burstyn
A young woman, born at the turn of the 20th century, is rendered ageless after an accident. After years of a solitary life, she meets a man who might be worth losing her immortality.
Two things come to mind when I watch this. The first is "Oh, snap! They got Hugh Ross" (Narrator of "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford"). And the second is this movie could go one of two ways. One, they take the Nicholas Sparks road and it just turns out God awful. And two, this becomes an existential movie that asks the question is life worth living if you never die? If it's the second one, this could be great. If it's the first, this movie has no hope.
That's all the trailers for today. Join in next Tuesday for more trailers. Take some time to read my other reviews. Comment or send me a message if you have any suggestions, whether they are movies or how to make this blog suck less.
