New Trailer for 40th Anniversary Screenings of 'Rad' BMX Cult Classic

"It's gonna take a radical miracle to beat this guy." Utopia & Fathom Entertainment have unveiled a quick new trailer to promote the upcoming 40th Anniversary screenings of 1980s cult classic Rad - the BMX bike movie that opened way back in 1986. Utopia already re-released a vibrant 4K restoration of this movie back in 2020 (here's that trailer) - you can find it on Blu-ray now. Rad has since gone on to become a beloved cult classic, not only because it has a killer soundtrack and impressive stunts, but because it so perfectly captures the vibe of the 80s. And it's one of the only BMX movies ever made that treats the sport with respect. Of course. The movie also has its own Instagram & Facebook. "Rad turning 40 and heading back to theaters nationwide? What more can I say besides... it's gonna be RAD. Remember there's always room for one more on the RAD racing team for another victory lap with the cult classic that never stopped racing." Remastered in 4K, the cult classic film stars Bill Allen (Cru Jones), Lori Loughlin (Christian Hollings), Talia Shire (Mrs. Jones), Jack Weston (Duke Best), Ray Walston (Burton Timmer), and 1984 Olympic gymnastics champ Bart Connor (Bart Taylor). Also features a sneak peek of the doc Effortless: The Eddie Fiola Story during the screenings in March around the nation.

Berlinale 2026: 'Prosecution' is a Lean, Mean, Gripping Legal Thriller

Most of the best films in this decade take a simplistic, important premise and elevate it with creative, clever filmmaking choices. It's not just about telling a story – anyone can do that. It's about how you tell the story, how you utilizing cinematic techniques to make it into something more, how cinema can turn a simple story into something truly profound. And potentially impactful, if the right audience watches it. Prosecution is one of the best modern legal thrillers I've seen this decade. This German film premiered at the 2026 Berlin Film Festival (and won an Audience Award) in the Panorama section. While it is ostensibly about Germany and their broken, corrupt justice system (despite continuous claims that it is the most objective) it is also a universal story about the corruption & injustice found in any country. It's literally about racism and how racism is often covered up, white-washed away, written off as just normal people not being bad. They didn't mean any harm! But racism needs to be confronted and dealt with directly – and boy oh boy does this film confront it. Prosecution is a gripping, badass, fascinating story about one woman getting justice at any cost. // Continue Reading ›

Fun Trailer for 'The Shark That Roared' Doc About 'Jaws: The Revenge'

"He conquered his own biology!" Media Mike has debuted another trailer for an indie documentary film on cinema history called The Shark That Roared, a doc about Jaws: The Revenge (1987) that celebrates the film's 40th anniversary and its achieved fandom since its release. We already posted an early teaser for it last year when the project was known as Jaws Goes to the Bahamas - Mike has since altered the title and re-shifted the focus on the 40th anniversary coming up in 2027 (when it's expected to be done). Main interviews include Lance Guest, Mario Van Peebles, James "Murr" Murray, Kevin Smith, and others. It's all about the infamous fourth Jaws movie called Jaws: The Revenge (released in 1987, directed by Joseph Sargent). They made four Jaws movies in total before the "franchise" came to an end. The doc will explore the tropical shoot in the Bahamas, behind-the-scenes experiences, & the surprising fanbase that has grown over the years. "It's bold, bizarre, and strangely beloved... Fans deserve it." Jaws: The Revenge is also the film Michael Caine famously said he did just for the paycheck to buy his mother a big house. Good times. // Continue Reading ›

New Trailer for 'The Hunt' Series w/ Benoit Magimel & Melanie Laurent

"Not a word to anyone." Apple TV has re-released the official trailer for a chilling new French thriller series called The Hunt, also known as Traqués in French, made by Gaumont in France. Not to be confused with either the Danish film called The Hunt with Mads Mikkelsen or the controversial American film The Hunt from a few years ago. This series was initially supposed to debut last year, but due to plagiarism claims it was pulled from the calendar. Gaumont actually did an investigation & discovered that this is indeed based on Douglas Fairbairn's novel "Shoot". To solve the issues they acquired the rights and have finalized legal issues for the March release. Franck and his buddies enjoy going on hunting trips. One day, they encounter another hunting group who strangely targets them. In a moment of self-defense, Franck's group injures one of the attackers. But paranoia sets in as they return home and try to forget the incident - but the start to feel hunted by now vengeful enemies after them. "The most dangerous enemy is the one you can’t see." Starring Benoît Magimel and Mélanie Laurent, pluds Damien Bonnard, Manuel Guillot, Cédric Appietto, Angelyna Danabe-Mignot, Sarah Pachoud, Yann Goven, Paul Beaurepaire, Patrick De Vallette. This is a much better trailer than the first one - more intense & more thrilling. Actually might end up great. // Continue Reading ›

New Trailer for 'The Mummy Returns' - 25th Anniversary Re-Release

"Ohhhh I hate mummies..." Universal Pictures has debuted a quick new trailer to celebrate the upcoming 25th Anniversary re-release of Stephen Sommers' action sequel The Mummy Returns, the two-years-later follow-up to 1999's brilliant The Mummy with Brendan Fraser. This sequel opened in May 2001 and was a huge hit that year at the box office. "A gleeful ode to the spirit of Saturday morning serials the PG-13 adventure was filled with bombast and eye-popping visual effects." After the events of the first movie, the mummified body of Imhotep is shipped to a museum in London, where he once again wakes and begins his campaign of rage and terror. This sequel also introduced the world to Dwayne Johnson in the form of the Scorpion King, who would also later go on to get his own (much worse) prequel called The Scorpion King in 2002 right after. The Mummy Returns sequel stars Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, Arnold Vosloo, Oded Fehr, Patricia Velasquez (all from the first movie), plus Freddie Boath, Alun Armstrong, Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock at the time, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Shaun Parkes. In my opinion, this is a huge step down from the first movie, but still fun in its own cheesy ways. Have fun. // Continue Reading ›

Out in theaters in just a few weeks! Grab your tickets! Starring Jessie Buckley & Christian Bale as this impulsive duo in a bold, iconoclastic take on one of the world’s most compelling stories.

They give new life to a murdered woman known as "the Bride," sparking romance, police interest and radical social change. Inspired by Mary Shelley's classic tale, as well as the original Bride of Frankenstein horror movie from 1935, though this is clearly something brand new from Gyllenhaal's mind. This stars Buckley & Bale, with Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Penélope Cruz. Even though this looks like a stylish fun romp, it does just come across like Bonnie & Clyde meets The Joker. This video features the main trio talking about the story in it - enjoy. // Continue Reading ›
