As far as what exactly is going on in this trailer, your guess is as good as mine. As far as I can tell it’s a little slasher, some comedy, a bit of a thriller, something supernatural, and a little absurdity. I like all of those things individually, so why not mash them up and put them in one movie? Look for ‘Tone-Deaf’ in theaters August 23.
Trailer: Queen & Slim
This takes the tragic story of a violent encounter between a black man and a police officer and flips that narrative so that the cop is the one who ends up dead. Culpability is inferred but I guess we’ll have to watch the whole movie to sort out what’s actually good from what’s bad and what’s right from wrong because rules and laws aren’t always the best gauge. Look for ‘Queen & Slim’ in theaters on November 27.
Trailer: Knives Out
I don’t normally get excited for ensemble movies because they seem to consistently let me down. However, this particular gathering of actors has more than piqued my interest. To be honest, when Michael Shannon popped up, I was completely sold. Turns out I have learned to trust again. Thank you Michael Shannon. Look for ‘Knives Out’ in theaters November 27.
Trailer: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
Hang on a second while I get my bearings again. I just flew through time and space and relived a good chunk of my early years in the span of a couple of minutes. How was it for you? Look for ‘A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood’ in theaters November 22.
Trailer: Jojo Rabbit
Hitler satire? Sure. Why not? Real life is pretty surreal at the moment, at least in my neck of the woods. On the positive side, that’s just making me more open to whatever craziness comes my way. Look for Jojo Rabbit in theaters on October 18.
Trailer: Phil
We do not resist Greg Kinnear because resisting Greg Kinnear is wrong and bad. He’s especially appealing when he’s doing the broken funny guy. There appears to be lots of that happening in this trailer despite the story revolving around suicide and loss. ‘Phil’ was released last month and you can stream it on Google Play, YouTube, Amazon Prime, and Vudu.
