LOU Trailer: Allison Janney Hunts Down A Vicious Kidnapper

Underworld: Blood Wars helmer Anna Foerster’s latest thriller, Lou, is coming to Netflix beginning September 23, and I totally dropped the ball on the trailer when it arose yesterday so now’s as good a time as any to pick it back up. This one has Allison Janney and Jurnee Smollet starring opposite Logan Marshall Green, and the reactions have been amazing with Janney fully taking the mantle as the film’s grisled and tough-as-nails heroine. The biggest highlight thusfar appears to be Janney going toe-to-toe with captial action man Daniel Bernhardt of Atomic Blonde, Skylines and Nobody fame. And, well… we’re all here for it, amirite? A storm rages. A young girl is kidnapped. Her mother (Jurnee Smollett) teams up with the mysterious woman next door (Allison Janney) to pursue the kidnapper – a journey that tests their limits and exposes shocking secrets from their pasts

TEKKEN: BLOODLINE Review: An Explosive, Action-Packed Series That Hits Fast And Hard Where It Needs To

At some point during this review, I was almost certain I would end up ranting non-stop in multiple paragraphs about live-action adaptations. I have my reasons – they’re not the ones most fringe fans think it is (if you read my stuff, then you know where I stand on this topic) – especially when it comes to an animated series production like Yoshikazu Miyao’s Tekken: Bloodline, currently on Netflix and streaming in six roughly half-hourlong episodes. The most important aspect here is the story and the structuring of it. The series takes its cues from the third installment of the game franchise published in 1997, and marks the newest and third animated production based on the franchise. For this, we get a six-part supernatural martial arts thriller that deep dives into young Jin Kazama’s mission of vengeance following the murder of his mother, Jun, at the hands of a superhuman […]

Interesting. Trailer above!

DAY SHIFT Review: Jamie Foxx Battles Vampires in the latest Netflix Original

Okay, it’s not necessarily an across-the-board universal truth or anything but I think we can all agree that there’s a degree of sameness to a lot of Netflix originals. That was my main concern going into “Day Shift”. Being J.J. Perry’s debut feature, I’m guessing a lot of people reading this had similar concerns about what could go wrong with this film. In my case, I’m confident in saying that my concerns were coming from a completely different place. I was concerned less as a fan of action films and moreso as a diehard fan of the vampire movie subgenre. Luckily for me (and for everyone who is coming to “Day Shift”), those concerns turned out to be  much completely unfounded and I ended up shockingly impressed. If you also know as little as I did about “Day Shift” going in, I will try to keep things as spoiler-free as […]
