The Villainess




Hardcore Henry meets Atomic Blonde


Looks pretty kickass. This looks like what Atomic Blonde could've been if it hadn't tried so hard with the story. Sometimes it's good to see an action movie just be an action movie. And from this trailer, that looks like what we're getting. 

I wonder if first-person action movies are gaining momentum. Are we going to see more and more crop up?  Inevitably, what with the continuing popularity of first-person video games, as well. These action sequences look reasonably well done, but it's hard to tell from just a trailer. 

I'll have to admit that if you check out other trailers for this, there does seem like there will be a "I loved you and you betrayed me" plot that is so popular in action movies, but as long as it doesn't get too convoluted, we should have some fun watching it.

American Assassin - Official Trailer #1




A teen loses his parents in a car crash, loses his girlfriend in a terrorist attack at the beach, and gets sent to the League of Assassins. Okay looks like trash. He's going to be schooled and immediately become some super assassin. Now who's the Mr. Miyagi of Death that's going to train him?

Wait a sec... Keaton?

And it's got the best bad actor in my man Kitsch?

It'll probably be a waste of time, but I'll See It. Doesn't mean it I'll like it. 

Atomic Blonde - Restricted Trailer


So what I originally thought was going to be SALT 2 (Anyone?) looks like it's going to be more like John Wick meets... SALT.

The action scenes look good. There's been this trend going for a while where the protagonist gets the shit kicked out of them while kicking the shit out of everybody else as opposed to being untouched like every action movie in the 80's/90's. I'm for it. It'll be interesting when every movie does this, and then one movie has someone is an excellently choreographed fight scene not getting hit once, and then we'll see the cycle continue.

But I digress.

Looks like it will have some pretty good action scenes, but we might be seeing all of them in the trailer, too. 

It's a rainy day, can't-find-anything-else Will See It for me.

The Last Jedi





So like everyone else, I'm excited. 

The teaser's similar to the one for The Force Awakens (they even both open with a main character gasping for air), but that's not a bad thing. 

It doesn't tell you much of the story, but that's fine with (literally everybody) me. 

Wouldn't it be cool if Rey turned to the Dark Side in this one? Like Luke was disenfranchised with the whole 'Jedi' thing, downplays the whole thing to her, so she doesn't have the motivation to be a Jedi and is just like, "Fuck it I'll join them, see what this whole 'Dark Side' thing's about."

No?

WillSeeIt, along with the rest of America.

IT

Hey, Georgie


So... pretty creepy. up until you see Pennywise scuffle through the water for a cheap jump "scare."

The Pennywise Shuffle

Why do horror trailers (and movies) feel the need for the cheap jump at the end? And here I was, happy as Trump playing pin-the-hand-on-the-vagina that we weren't seeing too much of Pennywise. Don't give away too much!



You know what would've been effective?

Georgie says, "You'll float, too" (once, not repeated).

Cut to black. Sound: Typewriter keystroke. White Font: "I." Typewriter keystroke. "T."


Would've gotten chills with that. Instead, I laugh at a trailer meant to creep me out.

Fuck it, it's horror so you know I'll See It
