(trailer review) - Twisters

 

Twister was a film from the 90's. A time where special effects were getting better and disaster movies were in abundance. The film had a great cast and if I remember correctly, a single tornado (nicknamed, a Twister) strikes, devastating an area leading to tornado hunters looking for tornadoes to capture on camera, for.......reasons. The stinger (the money-shot which is meant to get people hyped and excited for the movie) was a cow caught in a Tornado flying around for a little comic relief. Did I watch this movie, I think so, maybe not. I actually do not remember as it was soo long ago and I remember bits of it. It was never a movie I was really interested in that I remember seeing and rewatched it several times. If anything, it is highly likely I remembered the trailer. So this trailer, not only do they use the same font, the film seems to act as a spiritual sequel rather than a direct sequel, maybe? But it does look interesting.

This trailer did not do much for me if I am honest. I was never really a fan of the Twister movie for the fact I do not even remember watching it, so I am not really the intended audience for it, but to watch a disaster movie, I am interested in it a little. Just a little. Maybe to see all the destruction and such, not that I am even remotely intrigued in this movie due to the actors involved. A lot of people are talking about Glen Powell and his rising stardom and I recognise him from Top Gun: Maverick, but other than that I actually do not care for him, the actors involved or the movies/the franchise, however this might be one of the best positions to be in due to not caring for it, going to see it and possibly liking it. We will see

(trailer review) - A Quiet Place: Day One

(TRAILER ONE)

What is really wild, is that an actor turned director, known for his role as Jim in the American version of The Office, directed two movies before he directed the first 'A Quiet place' and now, he is simply hitting them out of the park. The first A Quiet Place was great. Whilst everyone was talking about Birdbox, there was a strong rumble about A Quiet Place that I watched it and was blown away. Anyone who has watched it, REMEMBERS THAT SCENE! you know which one. The one with the stairs!!! Never in life have I ever felt the tension in a movie more than that scene in a movie. I am pretty sure, the bathtub scene (I cannot remember clearly if it was exactly the same scene, but that) was also a moment where I was under a lot of stress. He then comes out with a sequel and whilst not as great as the first one, in regards to tension, still an amazing second entry to the franchise. However, this trailer, although not directed by John as he was likely busy directing 'IF' and this trailer looks like we are here again, at the edge of our seats, stressing out and I love it.

This second trailer does it for me. Not like the first one did not, especially as, by this point I am already bought into the franchise, but I noticed in this trailer, the military bombed the bridges so whoever is IN New York, is stuck there. It reminded me of Batman Begins and 21 Bridges if I am honest, but the share pandemonium is phenomenal. As I stated in the last trailer review "This trailer gives me Hollywood big budget horror and somewhat, a catastrophe vibe like a Cloverfield". I can see when everything hits the fan, the town scene in A Quiet Place Part 2 where everyone is running and they are driving in reverse and trying to get away, this trailer is show us, again...day one and and how a bustling city like New York, with all the loud sounds, music, people, trains, taxis, will be silent. Seeing Joseph Quinn here will be good for the Fantastic Four and MCU fans, but in all honestly. I only hope this Michael Sarnoski guy does not fluff it up. I heard Pig with Nicholas Cage is good, so we shall see. It looks epic though! I cannot wait.

(trailer review) - The Boys: Season 4

 

(OFFICIAL TEASER)

I do believe that the murmurs of superhero fatigue are dying down. A couple years ago, people were saying that people are suffering from Superhero fatigue, however, I always challenged that because although that was being said, people were still going out of their way to watch shows like 'Invincible' and 'The Boys'. But these are comic book shows that have seemingly created a shift in the mindset of people who were watching WB's DC universe with Batman, Superman and the like, along with Disney's Marvel, Ironman, Captain America and the like. The Boys is different. The Boys is dark humour. The Boy is gory and also, insanely weird, everything the two aforementioned franchises are not and this trailer proves that.

If you have been following the story of Billy Butcher, he is a man who is seeking revenge on those who are super-powered and he has recruited a team of people to do the same. Huey, Mother's Milk, Frenchie and the Girl. Now along for the ride is Starlight and they all plan on taking down Vought, the corporate business behind Superheroes and their main supe, Homelander who not only is becoming out of control but is seemingly coercing Billy's son into doing the same as him. This trailer shows that there is tension rising and the supes are rejecting their corporate overlords to be recognised as God's and maybe, just maybe...enslave those who are not like them. Sometimes a second trailer is needed but with The Boys, the storylines and the action is so greatly done, upon one trailer, I am already interested and involved.
