(trailer review) - Army of Thieves

It's funny that I read the title of this movie and instantly thought 'Den of Thieves' and questioned myself with, "Didn't they do a film with this name recently?".  My brain knew it was something familiar to me but I couldn't quite place it.  It was only when I pressed play on the trailer and saw the guy from Army of the Dead, that I realised what I was looking at, the prequel to Army of the Dead by Zack Snyder and instantly, I was intrigued.

You see I read about this when I was reviewing Army of the Dead and thought it was a little strange, but of course, interesting.  The world which makes up Army of the Dead is something, for those who liked Army of the Dead, fascinating especially where there might be some time travel involved and the Zombies, might not even be, well...Zombies.  If Snyder can do a series of movies within this world but centred around different things and different story elements, it could be quite compelling, especially if you dig little by little into the Zombie Apocalypse.  This film looks incredibly different to Army of the Dead.  Stylish as per usual, so I have no complaints.

Directed by Matthias Schweighöfer and starring Matthias Schweighöfer, Nathalie Emmanuel, Guz Khan, Ruby O. Fee, Stuart Martin, Jonathan Cohen, Noemie Nakai &Peter Simonischek

(trailer review) - Fast and Furious 9

(Official Trailer 2)

(Full Trailer)

(Teaser Trailer)

WOW, just WOW!!! It is possible, that a film which was meant to come out last year and people were hyped about it until they pushed it an entire year, it would seem as though the studio decided to "go ham" and actually put EVERYTHING in the trailer.  In my last review I said, "I mean, ok, they don't seem to be going to space like everyone thought, but what did they NOT put in this trailer!"  But hold up, it looks like they ARE going to space and they have actually put EVERYTHING in the trailer...Han as well.

I'm actually lost for words, really I am.  And it's not because they've put everything in this trailer, but how long is this movie? Magnetic cars, Flying Cars and a guy's body getting wrapped around a tree.  For a while the F&F franchise has been playing into it's craziness for a minute, but damn, have they gone too far?  To be honest, it's fast cars, brawls and the odd "INSERT GENRE HERE" because the series has evolved from simply racing cars, but if you are looking for this kind of thing or at least what they have been coming up with over the last 10 years, then here you go, seal with a kiss or high five!  I'm definitely watching it!

Directed by Justin Lin and starring Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, John Cena, Helen Mirren, Charlize Theron, Michael Rooker

(trailer review) - Die Hart

Clean into the middle of the pandemic and worldwide (kinda) lockdown period, Kevin Hart drops a trailer for a new film which has a title riff of "Die Hard", is a comedy and starring John Travolta...colour me intrigued!

Going by the trailer, it appears as though, Die Hart is about Kevin Hart basically playing a fictional version of himself trying to become an action star akin to Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in which, I guess in real life, where he has always been the sidekick and comic relief in films like Ride Along, Jumanji and Central Intelligence, he is tired of being just the sidekick and believes he can be an action star.  To become that action star, Kevin seeks help from (John Travolta) who will push Kevin to his limits to become the hard as nails action hero he desires to be, but can Kevin handle it?

This looks funny. Kevin is funny and although his schtick can be annoying at times and played out, this film actually does come across as funny due to Kevin's ridiculous nature, like when he tells stand up jokes.  The bit at the end with the building had me laughing out loud, so i'm definitely involved.  I'm just wondering if this is a film or a series.

Directed by Eric Appel and starring Kevin Hart, John Travolta, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jean Reno and Josh Hartnett.

(Teaser Trailer)

"My ass is in fuego!" Had to be the funniest line in the trailer and I don't even know what it means.
I mean, ok, they don't seem to be going to space like everyone thought, but what did they NOT put in this trailer! Because the entire Movie is in this trailer, EVERY action set-piece, the music changed 3 times, someone "catches" a car!

At some stage, Dom needs to say to someone, "I'm just a Mechanic" like Steven Seagall in Under Siege.  We understand the films get more rediculous as they go on, but...I...I don't know.  Have they taken it too far now? Although I'm sure many of you wanted to see how they get into space...but Dom is JUST a Mechanic, albeit, with skills in practically anything and everything.
*** #Spoilers *** but they bring back supposedly dead people, stealth planes are picking up cars mid-air with magnatism, cars are getting attached to cords strong enough to hold a moving car travelling with such velocity helping it to "fly", ok, swing and...I don't even know.  Maybe they have taken it too far.  But I'm still going to see it.  I still find it odd to tell a child whilst given them a necklace for protection, to say, "it's for what's coming"...ominus or what!? This film looks wild as hell and the fight scenes look great. A camera shot reminded me of Black Panther and/or Aquaman but I liked the usage... #sigh. Let's just hope the story is great.

(trailer review) - Fast & Furious 9

Can you believe we are on a Fast & Furious 9? Like, only last month we had a Star Wars 9 and that took how many years ? And the F&F franchise  did it in less for obvious reasons and for the most part, has been getting better and better as the years goes on as it has firmly cemented itself as an over the top, brash series centered around family with fast cars, "racing" and beists and  it does exactly what it says on the rin....and well.  They even had a spin-off which was just as good.

This trailer (more of a teaser clip) is more or less an announcement for the trailer and I'm already interested.
Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) now has a family, a little boy named Brian after his late best Friend, used to be cop and antagonist.  There is a passing of a Cross necklace and the worlds "...for protection for what's to come" (not verbatim). Who says that to a child? Absurdity will definitely endue in the most fun get ridiculous way when this film comes out.  And we will see that when the trailer finally drops.

The can only go to space, now...right?
