Fellow Digital Crack cohort Punisher and I were anticipating the release of the Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer last night. When it finally dropped, we had two wildly different opinions of it. He was ecstatic; I was mostly indifferent. We still both want to see the movie; he already purchased his tickets. But maybe my Star Wars fandom has exhausted itself. That has nothing to do with the trailer,...[Read More]
Pacific Rim 2: The Search for More Money I was unexpectedly pleased with 2013’s Pacific Rim. Whenever you have huge monsters fighting huge robots, we all win. Seeing the robots – or Jaegers – take on Kaiju made the little kid in me freak out. But that was pretty much the best part of the movie. The rest of the movie was average. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the movie. But...[Read More]
The DCEU with a Firefly vibe? While watching the latest trailer for Justice League, a thought kept popping into my head. It’s a silly thought in hindsight, but it’s one that I can’t shake. Dark Avengers. I say it’s silly because it’s baseless. Just because Joss Whedon, director of the first two Avengers movies, is directing here should mean nothing. The movie’s ...[Read More]
They all float down here! As an old man, I’ve gotten extremely jaded when it comes to “scary” movies. I never get scared anymore. The best a movie can do with me nowadays is be effectively creepy. The new trailer for Stephen King’s It sure looks creepy. Maybe it’s because of Stranger Things. Ever since I saw the Netflix series, everything seemingly set in the 80s just...[Read More]
After being relatively quiet for months, WB and DC have been releasing sneak peek teasers for the upcoming Justice League movie. The sneak peeks focus are 15-second bites that focus on one of the heroes. As of this writing, Aquaman and Batman teasers have been released. I’ll be updating this article with the others as soon as they drop. These mini-teasers are meant to drum up interest for th...[Read More]
New clip named “Buiilding Jump” As Ghost in the Shell moves closer to its March 31st release date, more information about the movie is being shared. Dreamworks has released a new movie clip for Ghost in the Shell. This clip, clocking in at 4:44, shows a bigger slice of the dinner scene that’s been teased in previous trailers. All the elements are there. The creepy geisha bots are...[Read More]
Remember when The Fast and the Furious was just about street racing? Yeah, I miss those days. The latest trailer for the newest entry in the series, The Fate of the Furious, has dropped. So, too, have about 1000 cars. Watch the trailer and you’ll understand what I mean. This entry is taking the balls-to-the-wall action from the last couple of entries and pushed it to extreme levels. Everythi...[Read More]
This took me a bit. I needed a change of underwear. The second trailer for Alien: Covenant was released. It shows quite a bit more than the first trailer did, including the first glimpse of both the neomorph and this movie’s take on the xenomorph. And let me just say, they are pants-shittingly frightening! The trailer takes its time to show the crew and the planet they are landing on. Since ...[Read More]
Another Super Bowl has come and gone, and another bevy of overpriced commercials have been paraded in front of our consumerist eyes. I’ll save the opinions about the Budweiser and Pepsi commercials for another forum; we’re highlighting the movie trailers that were on display here. Well, one entry isn’t a movie, but it’s still relevant. Because there was no way in hell I was gonna tackle all of the...[Read More]
Okay okay, this is only fair. I bagged on Jose’s disdain for the Power Rangers trailer…it’s only fair I do this. Okay, here goes: THIS! FUCKING! TRAILER! HURT! ME! What the Power Rangers trailer did to Cousin Jose, THIS trailer did to me twice and didn’t call me afterward to at least apologize! As a youngster, there were three TV shows that were Holy Writ for me: Starsky an...[Read More]
I will say up front that I am not a Power Rangers fan. The Saban TV show was well after my time. Cousin Jose, however, is currently on suicide watch. He grew up watching the show and with what he saw has him completely apoplectic. How apoplectic? I’m glad you asked: Ummm ok wow, I fucking hate it! So Goldar is a gold monster, literally. So no Putty Patrols, but rock monsters? The Zords looks...[Read More]
20th Century Fox has released a new trailer for the upcoming movie, Logan. I included the red band trailer because I’m such a nice guy. The trailer focuses more on young Laura Kinney (Dafne Keen), aka X-23, and…well, let’s just say she has anger issues. She actually makes Logan’s (Hugh Jackman) old berzerker rages look like a mild disagreement between overly polite friends....[Read More]
