Director Christopher Nolan’s hyped July 21, 2017 Warner Bros. date for his next film – hyped initially in September, is still up in the air. However, certain signs including French news articles in the last few months are now pointing to the forthcoming May 2016 production of his newest venture, the action adventure war thriller, Dunkirk.

Gbenga Akinnagbe Lands The Lead For Prison Boxing Biopic, HEART BABY!
Remember what I said about all there being no shortage of boxing movies anytime soon? Well, take a look at Angela Shelton who is now ready to add to that growing list of titles readying throughout the next few years. The new movie, Heart Baby!, has just cast The Following and The Wire co-star, actor Gbenga Akinnagbe, in the lead role of then-convict George Lee Martin who, long after earning a reputation as an undefeated boxer in Tennessee’s prison system, suprises the world when he denies a place among Team USA for the Olympic boxing division – offered in exchange for his freedom. Moreover, Deadline expands a bit more on the premise via statements from Shelton who says “You will not find anything about this story anywhere on the web except an article about the John Tate/Larry Holmes fight being canceled in 1984,” adding that the film will focus on […]
Mads Mikkelsen Joins DOCTOR STRANGE
Entertainment Weekly is kicking the week off to a proper start with a stunning reveal of actor Benedict Cumberbatch in costume for Scott Derrickson’s latest, Marvel’s Doctor Strange. The new photos now surfacing can be viewed here while EW also confirms the addition of actor Mads Mikkelsen in the role of the main villain. The article states that Marvel’s own Kevin Feige and the film’s executive producer Stephen Broussard are staying mum on just who Mikkelsen is playing though they are describing the nature of his role in the film to a small degree for curious fans. “Mads’ character is a sorcerer who breaks off into his own sect,” says Feige. “[He] believes that the Ancient One is just protecting her own power base and that the world may be better off if we were to allow some of these other things through.” Broussard leapt in with regard to further […]
FIVE A DAY: Here Are Some Titles To Look Forward To In 2016
As busy as my schedule is, there are a lot of films that I don’t get to see at least right away – hell, as we speak, I’ve prioritized some titles from this year going into 2016 including Bone Tomahawk and The Hateful Eight. That said, there are definitely a few titles that I will be looking into next year for required viewing, and I will average at least five a day between now and New Year’s Day in no specific order: ⚪ To start, there’s no way I’m missing out on John Wick 2. Period. The first film led the way for a terrific revival of R-rated action with just the kind of story that drives action film fanatics to the theaters, centering actor Keanu Reeves back in the limelight as a genuine action star long since winning sci-fi and kung fu fans everywhere with The Matrix Trilogy. It […]

J.J. Abrams's STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS Hits A Billion, Breaks Records Two Weeks In A Row
We are now two weeks into the release of J.J. Abrams’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens and there’s no kidding among anyone even before today who has stated this as the biggest movie in the world, even amid some early skepticism about the film’s box office results. On Sunday in a move that was nothing short of an obvious truth, news broke that the new movie has earned a global estimate of $286.8 million globally ($153.5 million domestically and $133.3 million overseas) to officially hit $1.090 billion in 12 days, essentially beating out Universal Pictures’s Jurassic World which did it in 13. The news comes following the film’s exceptional list of record-breaking milestones since last week’s galas upon the film’s December 18 premiere. Such figures include biggest Thursday preview gross ($57 million); biggest Friday, opening, and single day ($119.1 million)biggest Sunday ($60.5 million), Monday ($40.1 million), Tuesday ($37.3 million), and […]
Screener Review: ANGELS (2012)
Director Wych Kaosayananda’s craft took quite a turn overseas in the years since landing his first major Hollywood motion picture, Ballistic: Ecks VS Sever. It was a crowning achievement and a sign of better things to come prior to a challenging post-production process, and a career that eventually pivoted back overseas in Asia where he would ultimately start anew with the 2012 thriller, Angels. Set in Thailand, Kaosayananda writes and directs with actors Dustin Nguyen and Sahajak Boonthanakit starring as Johnny and Peter, former CIA operatives of yesteryear with Peter now working as a Thai detective. Driven by an earlier incident, Peter has spent two decades working as Captain and heading the sex crimes division, a job that ultimately leads him to the body of Johnny’s daughter, Angel (Kristin Douglass). After convening with Johnny after many years apart to break the news, Johnny joins Peter and his partner and subordinate, […]
STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS: New War, Same Stars, More Money For Disney!
Less than forty years and any number of prequels, book, toys, games and the like, Star Wars is still a thing. We love our Star Wars as much as we love breathing, eating and pooping, and this was definitely a good thing for Walt Disney Co. upon purchasing Lucasfilm, Ltd. several years ago and acquired all its Star Wars content. Hence, we now have Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the first of a new extension to a cinematic universe still mapping itself out after the first three films and subsequent prequels, and with several changes to the approach by way of J.J. Abrams following directing two Star Trek movies. The new movie follows Finn (John Boyega), an awakened stormtrooper, Rey (Daisy Ridley), a desert scavenger, and Poe (Oscar Isaac), a rebel X-wing pilot as they find themselves on a fortuitous mission that unites them with the long lost heroes who […]
Get A First Look At Ryu In STREET FIGHTER: RESURRECTION!
The official Facebook homebase for filmmaker and actor Joey Ansah’s campaign for better Street Fighter movies and shows is bustling once more on Christmas day in lieu of the upcoming miniseries, Street Fighter: Resurrection. A new photo has surfaced with actor Mike Moh back in a much more withered and worn gi with a stronger pair of Ansatsuken gloves to reprise his role as Ryu from the 2014 show, Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist. Aside from the white headband which left us off with a red one at the end of the series, you can tell this newest version has gone through quite a journey with a big difference between his earlier look and the newest. Accordingly, there’s a ten-year jump between both images as per the set up for the new series which also invites actor Christian Howard as fellow Ansatsuken inheritor, Ken, in addition to the premiere of Nash, […]
Watch A New Promo For HiGH & LOW: The Story Of S.W.O.R.D.
Japanese pop music supergroup, Exile Tribe is currently making waves this month with the new series, HiGH & LOW: The Story Of S.W.O.R.D.. The series took off back in October as part of what’s been billed wholly as the world’s first comprehensive entertainment project courtesy of LDH, inc. in association with NTV, and they’re not kidding either with a social media campaign in full bloom coupled with upcoming concert performances, and a television show that boasts some pretty slick gangster drama and cool action to enjoy. Kubo Shigeaki directs the series which centers on the rivalries set between five distinct gangs in a single town, and the emergence of another gang that dares to tip the balance. Exile Hiro serves as executive producer of the project for the series in its current run while a second season appears to be in tow, in addition to a fully fledged feature film […]

Ryan Reynolds pretty much won Christmas this season, thus it’s fair to say the marketing has been pretty serious for his newest film, Deadpool. Alas, the newest trailers have arrived with at least one of them in the form of a Red-Band trailer chock-full of expletives, cockshots, exploding heads… You know what? That’s enough from me.

Celebrate Christmas By DEADPOOL’s “Pool Log”!
On Thursday, fans are getting a new trailer for director Tim Miller’s latest, Deadpool. Alas, the clock ticks as we countdown through to the “twelfth day of Deadpool” with 20th Century Fox spending perpetual amounts of attention and money to promote this R-rated bit of fanfare, thus heeding to the call of moviegoers who’ve long waited since 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. As such, we’ve also gotten a few new TV spots this week with just a little more footage to spare courtesy of beloved X-Men character, Colossus by way of a CG-hybrid performance by voice actor Stefan Kapicic and stuntman Andre Tricoteux. You can check those out below, as well as another new morsel from the studio’s Deadpool campaign in the form of a holiday “Pool Log”. Take it away, Pool Log, and Merry Christmas everyone!
Screener Review: SAMURAI COP 2: DEADLY VENGEANCE (2016)
Considering I’m in my thirties as I wrote this, I suppose the late director Amir Shervan’s 1991 flop, Samurai Cop was something that I should already have seen by now. Well, I haven’t. Point in fact I had only seen it in December of late 2015, and long after the hype train took off stemmimg from the imminent fascination surrounding actor Mathew Karedas’s re-emergence from obscurity a few years ago. Thus, we are now brought full-circle through Cinema Epoch’s revival of the original film in its current cult-classic status to forsee the delightful arrival of director Gregory Hatanaka’s latest, Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance. Kareada, formerly Matt Hannon, returns to the fray as our title character in a story set between the timeframes of both films 25 years apart. Following the events of the first film, tragedy strikes our hero, Joe Marshall, while a corporate war among rival Yakuza gangs […]

No argument here of course, with MMA thriller Fight Valley right around the corner as we now approach Hawk’s next venture, Cold with the UFC’s own Felice Herrig making her debut. SYNOPSIS: Truck drivers Keeta Gregory, and Holly Montero departed at 6 A.M. on December 22nd, 2015 with a delivery truck full of pallets of ice, and miscellaneous frozen items to be delivered to a variety of locations in two different states by 5pm. The last report to dispatch computer reads “Order Completed”. Now, 4 days later, the girls were never heard from again. We follow Detective Aly Black through her investigation, as she unravel’s the puzzle pieces left behind. One by one , solving a very gruesome and heartbreaking case. 2016 is going to be a good year for Hawk and […]
Bullets And Beer Over London In The New THE BROTHERS GRIMSBY Poster
If you’re just tuning in, you’ve sadly been missing the onslaught of trailers that have been making the rounds for Louis Letterier’s new film, The Brothers Grimsby. The comedy is obviously not for the feint of heart and especially if Sacha Baron Cohen is leading the way in that department, which leads to question just how well this odd pairing with actor Mark Strong as long lost brothers will bode upon the film’s release in March. At any rate though, here’s a brand new poster courtesy of IMDb that should help grant an idea or several. Really though, the trailers speak for themselves with gags that go straight for ballsy and outlandish next to some slick-looking action which Letterier is principally known for having helmed quite a few headliners in his career. Also starring are Penelope Cruz who plays our villain with Rebel Wilson, Gabourey Sidibe and martial arts star […]
Mathis Landwehr Is Not Here To Play In The New Trailer For Survival Thriller, IMMIGRATION GAME
Shortfilm director Krystof Zlatnik first landed on our radar with the dystopian sci-fi pitch, Land Of Giants. It reinvigorated fandom once more for German martial arts star, actor Mathis Landwehr who has also been making the rounds from time to time in both stunts as well as leading roles following his role in the 2005 winning dystopian kung fu thriller, Kampfansage: Der Letzte Schuler. Nowadays, you’ll find both Zlatnik and Landwehr circling headlines for their latest pairing, Immigration Game, with Landwehr starring as a man trapped in a deadly game of survival in front of an online audience in an alternate future Berlin where refugees are hunted for sport. The action isn’t as stylish as the overall tone and vision per se, but you still get Landwehr in a role that surely grants him an audience that loves both seething drama, sci-fi, suspense, and a story that gets a few […]
Gordon Chan's Period Epic, GOD OF WAR Gets Cast And Plot Details
Courtesy of MTime We’re more than a month since director Gordon Chan began filming his newest, God Of War, with a report that gave us an early look at actor Vincent Zhao starring. Bona Film Group’s own Yu Dong is producing the film and slowly but surely, just a few more details are finally trickling with several more pictures highlighting cast and costumes. Sammo Hung, his son – actor Timmy Hung, and fellow action legend, Kurata Yasuaki, are joining the new period flick with a script co-written by Chan which forsees Zhao and Hung in the respective roles of Ming general Qi Jiguang and Shaolin Master/General Yu Dayou as they prepare an army to fight Japanese pirates on Eastern coast of China; That’s about as far as the plot goes at this point until further details are finally made clear, but whatever happens, Hung himself will be styling the action […]
BLOODY REVENGE Draws Plenty Of The Red Stuff In The Latest Trailer
Director Alip Santosa’s latest bilingual thriller carries a tone likening to action whilst primarily adhering to a more contemplative crime millieu more than anything, and judging by the trailers circulating online for the last few years, it looks quite appealing. It’s the new film, Bloody Revenge, which puts Indonesian actress Cinta Dewi right in the center of Hong Kong where the search for her sister ultimately takes a few gruesome turns for the worse. Clearly this is a road with no returning point, because now she’s out for blood and with a blunt farming blade as her tool of choice, she’s eager to get the job done no matter what. Actor Zack Lee and Singaporean action star Sunny Pang are the villains in this one for its current release date set for January 7, 2016. Check out a trailer below followed by an extended trailer just beneath.
CHIMAMIRE SUKEBAN CHAINSAW Kills In The New Trailer
You can’t go wrong with zombies. Furthermore, you can’t go wrong with school girls and chainsaws – thus we are brought to the newest trailer for Chimamire Sukeban Chainsaw from Messiah helmer Yamaguchi Hiroki. The film hails from its popularity in 2009 by way of manga author Mikamoto Rei with the story of a girl forced to confront the classmate responsible for turning everyone into a zombie – which essentially means a chaotic melee of chainsaw action and gore that follows. Uchida Rio stars in the title role for the film’s early 2016 festival screenings and subsequent March release in Japan theaters.
