Hawkeye Trailer Has a Long History of Holiday Cheer

New DVD release, , , ,
Deck the halls with bows and arrows. It is a wonderful time of the year for Disney+, which dropped the first Hawkeye trailer down the chimney. Marvel’s latest live-action series will be a Christmas show, and Clint Barton, a.k.a Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), is re-gifting his archery set to young hero Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld). Clint still has the vision to hit a target, but his hearing may not be so great anymore. We can plainly see Hawkeye’s hearing aid, which could end up being the result of an injury suffered on the show. You can watch the trailer here: The…

Hawkeye Trailer Finally Brings Captain America Musical to the Stage

New DVD release, , , , , ,
He throws a mighty shield, but can Captain America carry a showtune? In Disney+’s upcoming Hawkeye miniseries, we’re about to find out. As revealed in our first official footage of the Jeremy Renner spinoff TV show, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is still mourning the absence (and death?) of Steve Rogers… and capitalizing on it with some terrific kick-turns! Indeed, Captain America: The Musical is now officially canon, albeit they refer to it as Rogers in the MCU. Apparently the hottest ticket on Broadway, the new show is at the center of the Hawkeye trailer, which begins with Clint Barton (Renner)…

Marvel’s Hawkeye Trailer Breakdown and Analysis

New DVD release, , , ,
With What If…? still in the middle of streaming on Disney+, it’s never too early to start thinking about MCU Christmas, and the first Hawkeye trailer has arrived to let us get a feel of that expensive present way ahead of time, even as Marvel continues to add the bows (sorry) and trimmings to Clint Barton’s upcoming TV series behind the scenes. Starring Jeremy Renner reprising his role as Barton/Hawkeye and introducing Hailee Steinfeld to the MCU as his eager archery prodigy Kate Bishop, Hawkeye also boasts a supporting cast that features Vera Farmiga, Fra Fee, Tony Dalton, Zahn McClarnon,…

Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 Trailer Teases a Villainous Strand

New DVD release, , , , ,
The trailer for Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 has arrived, further teasing bleak imagery in the wake of Season 6’s monumental mushroom cloud climax, which effectively upgraded the spinoff’s uniquely upgraded dilemma to a nuclear zombie apocalypse. However, a prominent narrative being promoted is the apparent transformation of series-OG character Victor Strand (Colman Domingo) into a villain, one who has become fixated on making life even more difficult than it already is in this world for Morgan Jones (Lennie James).    Indeed, the official trailer shows how the series could be effectively renamed “Fear the Walking Dead or How…

The Matrix 4 Trailer Breakdown: Neo, Trinity, Morpheus, and…Smith?!

New DVD release, , , , ,
The moment Matrix fans have been waiting for has finally arrived. The next chapter of Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus’ story is almost here and Warner Bros. has a trailer to prove it. It’s an action-packed first look at Resurrections, a sequel that seems to take the franchise in new directions, and introduces quite a few new mysteries to the already complex lore of The Matrix, all accompanied by Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit.” While it refreshingly plays things very close to the chest at a time when most trailers give away 2/3 of the plot, I’ve tried my best to dissect…

The Matrix 4 Trailer Song White Rabbit Has Cut Holes in Reality for Years

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Red pills, white pills, taller, small, or blue. The Matrix Resurrections trailer offers so many choices, possibilities, and questions that our head is already hurting again. Is Thomas Anderson, aka Neo (Keanu Reeves), stuck in the same old machine, or is this a new Neo wearing John Wick’s beard? Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) is in her own wonderland. We can’t trust the psychiatrist that Neil Patrick Harris is playing. The Matrix 4 trailer sends us chasing a “White Rabbit.”  When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead, you have to ask Alice. You can watch the trailer here: Lana Wachowski’s follow-up…

Leonardo DiCaprio Finally Does Comedy in Don’t Look Up Trailer, It’s Glorious

New DVD release, , , , ,
You know Leonardo DiCaprio has brilliant comic timing, right? It’s something rarely remarked upon in the press or on social media, but it’s been true since practically the beginning of his career. And it’s one of the primary reasons the first trailer for Adam McKay’s new movie, Don’t Look Up, is such a welcome delight. To  be sure, the upcoming comedy, which will be released on Netflix in time for Christmas, has plenty going for it beyond DiCaprio visibly reaching for the yucks. After all, this is a (dark) McKay comedy, and the first full-on one the now Oscar winning…

The Many Saints of Newark Trailer Cements Dickie Moltisanti as The Movie’s Tony

New DVD release, , , , , ,
“I want to do a good deed,” Dickie Moltisanti (Alessandro Nivola) says in the second The Many Saints of Newark trailer. From the looks of the rest of it, it’s only partially out of contrition. The prequel movie to The Sopranos series is set in the gangster heyday, and centers on Tony’s (Michael Gandolfini) uncle, series creator and co-screenwriter David Chase insists. It is not a Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) origin story. Dickie is Tony here. You got a problem with that? “Young Anthony Soprano is growing up in one of the most tumultuous eras in Newark’s history, becoming a…

The Many Saints of Newark Trailer Song Has Paid Off for Years

New DVD release, , ,
The Many Saints of Newark trailer shows Dickie Moltisanti trying to do the right thing. The film is a prequel to the HBO series The Sopranos, and will give special attention to the “old school” guys who were in at the ground floor of this thing of theirs. Veteran mobsters lived up to codes, like Omerta, which means silence unto death, and followed rules. The top rule was spelled out in Martin Scorsese’s gangster classic Goodfellas: Get paid. “Business bad? Fuck you, pay me. Oh, you had a fire? Fuck you, pay me. Place got hit by lightning, huh? Fuck…

The Matrix 4 Trailer Teasers Reveal a Big Morpheus Mystery

New DVD release, , , , ,
What the hell is going on with Morpheus? That’s the question on fans’ minds after spending the last day trying to decipher all of the new Matrix Resurrections teasers released by Warner Bros. If you go to WhatIsTheMatrix.com right now, you’ll be asked to make a choice: the red pill or the blue pill. Choosing the red pill freed Neo from the simulation in 1999, and if you make the same choice on the fan site, you’ll be treated to one of several teasers depending on the time of the day. According to EW, there are 180,000 variations of the…

Wheel of Time Trailer Celebrates the Women Who ‘Protect the World’

New DVD release, , , , ,
”The power inside you: all over the world there are different names for it. But it’s one thing, One Power, and women who can touch it — we protect the world.” So says Rosamund Pike’s character, Moiraine Damodred, in the first Wheel of Time trailer released by Amazon. Even for those who have never read the Robert Jordan novels upon which the series is based, it’s clear that the powerful women featured in this preview are the ones to be reckoned with. So why is someone called “the Dark One” pursuing a small group of friends who look much less…

No Time to Die Trailer Teases Bond’s Struggles in a Changing World

New DVD release, , , ,
James Bond has spent nearly sixty years on the big screen consistently overcoming elaborate, seemingly-insurmountable attempts on his life from an assorted array of ostentatiously megalomaniacal madmen. However, pandemic-era delays clearly have his number, having forced No Time to Die, the franchise’s long-heralded 25th official film, into over a year’s worth of release date retreats, now leaving it to finally face the music in October. Interestingly, the film’s new trailer seems to thematically parallel its potential box office plight, since our out-of-retirement MI6 agent seems perplexed against an invisible, intangibly-operating global threat. Daniel Craig’s long-heralded curtain call in the Bond…
