(trailer review) - Gunpowder Milkshake

So, not only is this movie somewhat ticking all the boxes in regards to race, it seems to be ticking all the right boxes to what most filmgoers want in an action movie...an action thriller at that!  I'm not going to lie to you, the title is great, but what seems to be even better, is the vibe I'm getting with this movie.  I'm getting a Charlie's Angel's vibe, but more serious.  A John Wick vibe, but more sensational.  Something like a John Wick mixed with The Hitman's Bodyguard, maybe?  Maybe I need to come back to this, but the film looks great.

Although, I said ticking the boxes in regards to race, I do feel they should have done more.  But these days these things seem to be heavy handed so I'm not sure if I even want that any more, unless it IS in fact woven into the story as there seems to be a world with secret assassins.  I just mean to say, if we are seeing such a diverse group, maybe it should be throughout the film, but since I haven't seen it yet, there is hope.  It's nice to see Lena Headey as I think she's great, as well as Michelle Yeoh and Angela Bassett. But Karen Gillan is funny in Jumanji, incredibly serious in Guardian's of the Galaxy and I'm just really liking the things she pops up in or her performance at least.

Whilst this film is slightly stylised like Atomic Blonde, but there seems to be some funny comedic bits peppered in and some slow-motion as if Zack Snyder directed this or is at least producing, I am definitely keen on watching.  Let's hope another trailer doesn't unsell me.

Hmmm.....Maybe Suckerpunch!? I'm still thinking!

(trailer review) - Last Night in Soho

I do like me some Edgar Wright!  The first film I learned to be his was Shaun of the Dead, a favourite of mines.  To be fair, the Cornetto Trilogy is a favourite of mine.  If you are unaware of what the 'Cornetto Trilogy' is, it's a series of films that has a Cornetto in it.  Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and At Worlds End, the latter I didn't like as much as the first two.  I don't think I really made the connection that it was him who directed Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, but by the time Baby Driver came out, I knew who he was as his name circled the MCU's Ant-Man project for years.  He's still credited as the writer.  Out of the 6 films he has directed, I've seen 5 and with a talent like Edgar, I will continue to see many more, just like this one as well.

This trailer starts off nice and subtle but gradually gets creepier and creepier.  I like Anya Taylor-Joy as she has been brilliant in the few things I've seen her in, but I am really intrigued by the plot of this and how it all works.  It threw me, that a "modern" looking girl was walking through the past, but then in a mirrored reflection, a different body is reflected as her...wild.  It's a thumb's up for me.  Oh, and General Zod, Terrence Stamp is in this! Definitely a must see.
