This follow-up tosses Poirot in the middle of another ensemble cast of murder suspects on a cruise down the Nile River. Death on the Nile is a sequel to 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express, and while that film was merely okay, Branagh’s portrayal of the famous detective was delightful. ( The Woman in the Window was fascinatingly terrible, and Knives Out, while a load of fun, was a deliberate subversion and thus deeply unsatisfying as a murder mystery.) Consequently, the prospect of a brand-new Agatha Christie adaptation starring Kenneth Branagh and the world’s most impossible facial hair configuration as iconic super-sleuth Hercule Poirot is enough to send my wallet flying out of my pants towards the nearest cineplex. We don’t get enough honest-to-goodness whodunnits, and the ones we do get tend to disappoint. Ross BonaimeĬast: Kenneth Branagh, Annette Bening, Russell Brand, Tom Bateman, Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, Rose Leslie, Emma Mackey, Jennifer Saunders, Letitia Wright Jackass Forever doesn’t just promise to be another collection of delightfully deranged bits, it also feels like the end of an era. In a strange way, the trailer for Jackass Forever is almost touching, as a new generation who grew up on these stunts joins the old crew, a passing of the torch that has probably been up someone’s butt. But with Jackass Forever, these stars are heading towards 50, not the resilient morons that they once were. Back in 2000, the Jackass group felt invincible, like Looney Tunes come to life: no matter what ridiculous stunt they tried, once the scene came to an end, they would be right back to normal.
#RED GIANT MAGIC BULLET SUITE 13 MOVIE#
This group of daredevils/idiots is almost the closest thing we have to a great modern movie comedy troupe, with each person fitting a specific position for whatever insane idea this team can come up with. Writers: Jeff Tremaine, Spike Jonze, Johnny KnoxvilleĬast: Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Dave England, Wee Man, Danger Ehren, Preston Lacyįans of Jackass have been watching Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, and the rest of the crew for over two decades. That's just a whole lot of horror talent worth getting exciting about, and if the early buzz is to be believed, that excitement is well placed. Additionally, the film is based on Joe Hill's 2004 short story of the same name.

Hawke makes a rare villainous turn, playing a child murderer called "The Grabber," and his chilling mask was designed by Tom Savini. Considering Sinister is one of the few movies to ever genuinely scare the holy hell out of me, that last bit has me particularly intrigued by this one, but there are a few other points of intrigue. Robert CargillĬast: Ethan Hawke, Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw, James Ransone, Jeremy DaviesĪfter making the MCU trippy with Doctor Strange, Scott Derrickson is returning to horror with The Black Phone and his new movie looks creepy as hell, has been earning rave reviews from its early festival screenings, and reunites him with Sinister collaborators in Blumhouse and Ethan Hawke. In a landscape where the MCU has dominated for over 10 years and every blockbuster looks and feels increasingly the same, I welcome the next chapter of this refreshingly bizarre franchise. But most importantly, Morbius promises to begin tying together the disparate threads of Sony’s Spider-Man cinematic universe into a gleaming beacon of trash. Every trailer we’ve seen looks like a movie that was filmed in the late 90s and also absolute gibberish. Michael Morbius is a doctor who is also a vampire, but none of that matters. Morbius looks to continue this fine tradition by building a movie around a D-list Spider-Man villain and casting a profusely Jesus-faced Jared Leto to portray him. Rather than trying to go toe-to-toe with Marvel’s MCU, they’ve made the bold decision to pump out pulpy schlock fueled by frenetic weirdness and designed to be consumed by 13-year-old children reading drug store comic books while their moms pick up a prescription. Sony has created its own cinematic universe of 90s trash comics with Venom and its illustrious sequel Venom: Let There Be Woody Harrelson, and I am beyond excited to see this franchise continue. Cast: Jared Leto, Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Tyrese Gibson
