Trailer: PLANE Crashes Gerard Butler And Mike Colter Into Hostile Territory

The film may be something else entirely, but the award for mundane movie title of the year could go to Jean-François Richet’s new thriller, Plane. The official trailer is out as of Thursday and looks absolutely great featuring leads Gerard Butler and Mike Colter as two odd-couple would-be John McClaines forced to leap into action to save hostages from a bunch of terrorists when their plane crashes into a remote island bundle. In the white-knuckle action movie PLANE, pilot Brodie Torrance (Gerard Butler) saves his passengers from a lightning strike by making a risky landing on a war-torn island – only to find that surviving the landing was just the beginning. When most of the passengers are taken hostage by dangerous rebels, the only person Torrance can count on for help is Louis Gaspare (Mike Colter), an accused murderer who was being transported by the FBI. In order to rescue […]

SOUTH OF HEAVEN Review – A South Texas Tale Of Revenge.

Matthew Essary

SOUTH OF HEAVEN was not the original title for the latest film from Israeli writer/director Aharon Keshales. It’s not unusual for films to go through title changes during production but I was struck by a curiosity- wondering how a clever enough title like “Till Death” became the more somber “South of Heaven.” Why choose that phrase for a new title? When I researched the phrase the only thing that consistently popped up was a song, I was passingly familiar with by the metal band Slayer. Stranger connections in pop culture have occurred before, I suppose. So, I thought about this song I had not heard since my young and angry days and how it may add to the understanding of this southern-fried piece of neo-noir from one half of the filmmaking team behind the mean-spirited, yet darkly comic, thriller BIG BAD WOLVES. “An unforeseen future nestled somewhere in time.

MARVEL’S LUKE CAGE Season 2 Sets Harlem On Fire In Second Official Trailer

Lee B. Golden III

For some, June 22 can’t come faster for the Luke Cage fanbase’s binge-crowd. Despite Marvel’s own slight of hand from time to time in the headlines, I’m keen on seeing a certain partnership arise in our title hero’s efforts to clean up Harlem, with actor Mike Colter taken to task. Actress Alfre Woodard leads the bevy of demonic anarchy that follows her reign on the town in the upper-Manhattan neighborhood where she’s claimed the noticeably-departed Cottonmouth’s stronghold. Alas, the notorious Mariah Dillard finds herself a suddenly valued commodity in the wake of the rise of another foe in the form of Jon McIver (a.k.a. Bushmaster) who showed out in stellar form with actor Mustafa Shakir commanding the role. Both are now featured in the latest trailer for the show being shepherded once more by Cheo Hodari Coker for Netflix on the aforementioned date. Check it out!

Marvel and Netflix are already underway with production on the upcoming series installation of The Defenders. In the meantime, what awaits now is a second season of hit series Luke Cage which premiered on September 30 to rousing approval from fans and critics alike.

It brings a promising spectacle in the wake of a prosperous roll out of shows for the streaming service and with actor Mike Colter, no less, rightly servicing fans in the title role of an ex-con, the subject of a faulty experiment behind bars which has since rendered him bullet proof and super-strong, and ultimately befitting him as Harlem’s last, albeit reluctant hope for salvation against a rising crime wave.
