First Teaser for 'The Sound' Rock Climbing Supernatural Horror Film

"Making it to the top is not worth your life. It's just... not worth it." Blue Harbor Ent. has revealed a teaser trailer for an intriguing new horror film called The Sound, made by filmmaker Brendan Devane. Has there been a rock climbing horror movie before (not counting Cliffhanger which is action)? A group of climbers embarks on a dangerous climb that has been off-limits for years. What begins as an audacious expedition transforms into a battle for survival against a force that toys with them. During their ascent, they come face to face with a malevolent force that quickly turns their expedition into a harrowing battle for survival. This poster hints at the supernatural force hanging over the rock wall. And they even have some rock music, too. Actor William Fichtner is in the cast with Marc Hills, Jocelyn Hudon, David Clennon, Christina Kirkman, plus special guests Kyle Gass and real climber Alex Honnold. Gotta say, I'm kinda intrigued by this - at least the climbing will be real and not bad Hollywood fake. Check out the quick first look below. // Continue Reading ›

Cannes 2025: Óliver Laxe's 'Sirat' - A Techno-Filled Desert Odyssey

One of the most exciting discoveries from the 2025 Cannes Film Festival (so far) is a film titled Sirat, made by Spanish-French filmmaker Óliver Laxe. I've been posting trailers for it already leading up to the start of the festival, but it really is all about the experience watching this and discovering where it's taking us on its journey through the desert. Cinema reigns!! What an unforgettable experience watching this together with the packed-house of cinephiles at the press screening on Thursday night. Everyone came out of the screening raving about it, everyone has something to say about it - these are the kind of Cannes moments I live for. Sirat is awesome. This is what cinematic storytelling is all about. It's one giant metaphor, of course, but it also can be viewed as a literal trip through this desert hell. And the shock and awe of discovering what happens as you're watching it for the first time is essential to the experience of understanding the film. And, by extension, understanding life – the shock and awe of never knowing what's about to happen next in life. // Continue Reading ›

Cannes 2025: 'M:I - The Final Reckoning' is Flawed Yet Still Enjoyable

The grand finale. The end of it all. The sum of your life's choices. The last moment. The final reckoning with Ethan Hunt. This is it. After 30 years, across 8 movies, Tom Cruise (and director Chris McQuarrie) give us one last spectacular cinematic experience with Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. But is it really a spectacular cinematic experience? Well, that's up to everyone to decide for themselves. I was lucky to watch The Final Reckoning in IMAX - at an IMAX cinema located just nearby the Cannes Film Festival at the same time Tom Cruise was on the red carpet. This is, of course, the best way to watch it - our seats were rumbling, the footage was crisp & clear, it felt like a true chest-thumping spectacle. But of course if I'm honest - The Final Reckoning has some flaws. Quite a few flaws. But it is far from being the worst movie in the franchise and anyone saying this isn't really judging this movie accurately, they're criticizing it because they wanted something specific out of it. It is the second half of Dead Reckoning (2023) and it spends way too long explaining everything, but it is still an emotionally satisfying conclusion to this action franchise. // Continue Reading ›

And newcomers for this one include Danielle Brooks as The Bad Girls leader Kitty Kat, a clever snow leopard; Maria Bakalova as Pigtail, a brilliant Bulgarian wild boar engineer; Natasha Lyonne as Doom, a wry raven with a knack for deception.

Wacky Trailer #2 for 'Smurfs' Animated Movie with Corden & Offerman

"Get ready for an adventure that will blue you way." Oyy. Paramount has revealed the second full trailer for Smurfs (yep that's the title), the next animated-hybrid Smurfs movie arriving in theaters this summer. This is the fourth Hollywood movie featuring the little blue guys created by Belgian artist Peyo, following The Smurfs (2011) and its sequels. This new reboot is directed by Chris Miller from a screenplay written by "South Park" writer Pam Brady. This musical brings them into the real world for an adventure. When Papa Smurf is mysteriously taken by evil wizards, Smurfette leads the Smurfs on a mission into the real world to save him. This fun new Smurfs features an all-star voice cast including Rihanna as Smurfette, of course, James Corden, Nick Offerman, JP Karliak, Daniel Levy, Amy Sedaris, Natasha Lyonne, Sandra Oh, Octavia Spencer, Nick Kroll, Hannah Waddingham, Alex Winter, Maya Erskine, Billie Lourd, Xolo Maridueña, with Kurt Russell and John Goodman as Papa Smurf. This looks painfully unfunny and dumb but I guess that's the point - this is not supposed to be some high brow comedy. Oh well. // Continue Reading ›
