Trailer: The Art of Self-Defense

Jesse Eisenberg always does such great things with characters like this. His deadpan, self-deprecating sense of humor and awkward intensity seem like a perfect fit for this story. Look for ‘The Art of Self-Defense’ in theaters on June 21.

Trailer: Trial By Fire

This looks like it could be interesting. I love drama and Laura Dern so I’m going to give it a shot. Look for ‘Trial by Fire’ in theaters on May 17.

Trailer: The Tomorrow Man

As I’ve always said (even since before I myself got old), there aren’t enough stories out there about life after youth. It’s nice to see that change or at least challenged. Also, I’m still not over how good John Lithgow was in ‘Beatriz at Dinner’ so I’m excited to see what else he has to offer. Look for ‘The Tomorrow Man’ in theaters on May 22.

Trailer: MIB International

The first full trailer for MIB International is finally here. I didn’t realize Liam Neeson and Emma Thomson were both in this too, as if Tessa Thomson weren’t enough. Excited to see if the buddy chemistry between Thomson and Chris Hemsworth is as strong as it looks in the trailer. Look for MIB International in theaters on June 14.

Trailer: Vice

Everyone is out there talking about Christian Bale’s incredible transformation into Dick Cheney, but I’m still stuck on Sam Rockwell’s transformation into Dubya. And, to top it all off, Steve Carell is Donald Rumsfeld and Amy freakin’ Adams is Lynne Cheney. That casting alone should be enough to motivate you to check this one out. Amy Adams and Christian Bale are two of the finest working actors of our time and then there’s Sam Rockwell who was bee severely underrated until he finally won an Oscar in March. Everything about this looks like a winner, so I’ll see you at the theaters on Christmas day 2018.
