Betty Gilpin & Hilary Swank Bring The Hunt To Blumhouse: Trailer Review

Twelve strangers wake up in a clearing. They don’t know where they are, or how they got there. They don't know they've been chosen… for a very specific purpose … The Hunt.

 The reasons why I'm excited about this film:Hillary Swank and Betty Gilpin. The latter a tad bit more than the former. I'm would have been surprised at that admittedly two years ago but today is the new reality. I've always been a fan of Hilary Swank's work. two time Oscar winner and over all bad ass. I think Million Dollar Baby is my favorite performance from her. When ever i see her on the roster I know the project will have an A Lister that brings her A game to the table. From the trailer I can see that Swank is either the top dog (power that be) in charge of a sick organization who likes to kidnap and hunt people or is a corporate middleman that may be apart of something much bigger on a more global evil scale. Either way, she's a boss. 

Paring her up against Betty Gilpin would not have been my cup a tea but ever since GLOW on Netflix Gilpin has become the one to watch out for. I have to confess that my first time seeing her in anything was in Nurse Jackie and her character did not land well with me. I couldn't tell if it was the writing, her performance, direction or a combination but something did not sit right. I then became a believer when I took a chance on the GLOW series and she blew my mind. I didn't realize that I was an official fan until I saw her on this trailer. I instantly recognized her, I immediately took her as a plausible hero/lead and I am genuinely curious how well she handles going toe to toe with The Swank. 

With the combination of a very exciting cast and the track record of Blumhouse, I'm extremely excited about this one. If done right it can be the next franchise horror film to raise the stakes of shock horror. The premise to me feels like the purge done with a tad more realism. Keeping the murders hidden and made for sport to me feels like can happen and that makes it more scarier to me.

I expect a lot of twists and am hopeful for a surprise ending. The cast is amazing and the trailer makes me feel like this is more of a roller coaster right through a slaughter house. My kind of ride.

Synopsis:
In the shadow of a dark internet conspiracy theory, a group of globalist elites gathers for the very first time at a remote Manor House to hunt humans for sport. But the elites’ master plan is about to be derailed because one of the hunted, Crystal (Betty Gilpin, GLOW), knows The Hunters’ game better than they do. She turns the tables on the killers, picking them off, one by one, as she makes her way toward the mysterious woman (two-time Oscar^® winner Hilary Swank) at the center of it all. 

 From Jason Blum, the producer of Get Out and The Purge series, and Damon Lindelof, co-creator of the TV series The Leftovers and Lost, comes a new mysterious social thriller.  The Hunt is written by Lindelof and his fellow The Leftovers’ collaborator Nick Cuse and is directed by Craig Zobel (Z for Zachariah, The Leftovers). Blum produces for his Blumhouse Productions alongside Lindelof. The film is executive produced by Zobel, Cuse and Steven R. Molen.

Here Is Why The Top Gun Maverick Trailer Was So Boring

First I will confess, I'm not a Top Gun fan. I did not take time to watch the original. I've heard the lines and seen the scenes. I saw enough to know that it was not something I wanted to watch. I had a lot of fun with the Hot Shots movies. That was my Top Gun. Watching this trailer, I wanted to like it, I wanted it to make me want to watch the first film. That did not happen. At best this trailer just gave me pause to wait for another trailer. While we're on the subject, this was a teaser at best. Thankfully, someone messaged me on YouTube and told me this was a shot for shot call back to the original trailer for the first film. That make sense for the fans of the franchise but it was totally lost on people without a clue of that history of the film.

I just found this trailer boring. I don't have a need for this franchise but maybe the next trailer will give me more details on the what this movie will be about.

Dark Phoenix: The X-Men Franchises Last Stand With 20th Century Fox

As a long time fan of the 20th Century Fox Marvel franchise of the X-Men movies. From the beginning, the first thing you heard in 2000 was Mutant. Ever since there has been deep character development, extremely wonderful special effects, a few dude tear moments and a bit of cheesiness. Over all, from Logan to Days of Futures Past, we've been given quality. Now that Disney has purchased Fox and is set to bring the heroic mutant team and all that is tagged in their universe along with the MCU proper. Fox's final project before the acquisition is Dark Phoenix, the next and last installment after X-Men First Class, Days of Futures Past, and Apocalypse.

The embargo for this is set to lift at midnight of the 5th of June, a day before world wide release and the early critic reviews were not so good. Though I went into a press screening with this being where the bar is set, I came out with a lot of enjoyment from the film. First, I was set to believe, and the trailers game me nothing else to go with, that this was going to be a carbon copy of The Last Stand. The film that was the reason for retooling the franchise in the first place. From Magneto fighting in and with a Subway car, to Phoenix looking as if she would kill a member of her team, I was going in with some pretty low expectations. What we got was a villain, lead by Jessica Chastain, that reminded me of the Skrulls in Captain Marvel but done with extreme superiority. The way these alien forces moved and fought felt like a World War Z set to Mutants film.

The overall dilemma given to the X-Men was Charles Xaivier's (James McAvoy) ego. This was a unique way to go, never really been done before but when you have the most powerful being in the universe to deal with, the under toned messaging just felt out of place. My overall impression was that this director was going in hard with something to prove and what he wanted to do was out do all of the previous films in the action and suspense department. I'll admit, in a lot of ways, this was done brilliantly and in others it was piss poor. Being in a world where mutants are hated by people and having military sent to take them get put into situations where they are being taken out by a greater threat and witness the mutants take them on with more ease totally owning the situation like true superior heroes.

I would call this similar to The Last Stand in a lot of ways but done right. I was worried about the alien invasion aspect but even that was done better than most alien invader movies. It was very cloak and daggerish and stayed hidden for the most part. Made for a better story and I like this film better than a lot in the franchise and would rank it as such. X-Men because that film was a huge mystery and super fun suprise in the theater, X2 because it was done even better but the original still set the foundation, Days of Futures Past because we got to see Wolverine interact with members of the teams from both versions of the timeline, Dark Phoenix because it was better than expected and took risks than none of the others did (redeeming the Last Stand) and First Class.

Apocalypse is better than Last Stand but I'm not itching to see any of them again. The former before the ladder if I had nothing else to watch but the films in my top 5 I can watch over and over. By the way, speaking of taking chances and trying to surpass previous films, Nightcrawler. He has a moment that reminded me of the opening of X2 and boy did he do us justice.

I do not know if this was because we know that Disney was going to take over the franchise and reboot it or because it was a press release but we saw no after credit scene. Also, if you're asking about the end credit scene from Apocalypse and wondering about this movie, don't hold your breath. What you saw in the trailers is what you're going to get and it was still a thrill ride that got me pumped. I'll admit, if I didn't know that this was the last time these particular X-Men would be on the screen I would have been more excited. I celebrate how good it was but I kept myself from going bonkers because the whole time it loomed overhead that these guys, more than likely won't come back, so I kept it cool. A few cliffhangers left out there, somethings that made me roll my eyes, like the simi-batphone. . .come on.

You'll have fun. Go see it. Its got more good and exciting things in this one than in any most of the films out this year. I believe people are just ready to see what the MCU is going to do with these characters and that feeling was with me before the movie started, disappeared as I watched but slowly returned as I walked out of the theater.

Terminator: Dark Fate Trailer | My Thoughts & First Reaction

The first thing that came to mind as I watched this trailer was my curiosity and interest about the Grace character played by Mackenzie Davis. From what I can tell she has gone through an intense trailing routine and is in fantastic shape. Seeing a female protector reminds me of the Terminator series and from what I've seen it looks like she will be a great fit. Her expressions, her physical performances and intensity was gripping. The other thing about this cast that has me buzzing out loud is from Gabriel Luna. The only thing I've been exposed to is his performance on The Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. as the MCU Ghost Rider. To see him as a terminator, something like the T-1000 from Terminator 2. Everything I saw from him, the look and the mannerisms were pure perfection. I can tell he has put a lot of hard work in the worlds most persistent cyber stalker from the future.

The parts that I'm still a bit confused about is the red conning of the past films after T2. Here are a few things I'm thinking will need to be clarified. The new mission to have a protector save a new girl. The original John Connor played by Jude Collie is casted so who is the target? When the Grace character said "I am human" are we dealing with a robot in denial like we got on Genysis? One of my subscribers commented that Arnold will be the human the T100 was modeled after. Why would they even need him? Why does Sky-Net need him?

The last thing that came to my attention was that the thrilling theme song from the other films was not used at all. I did not know how much I would miss it until it became obvious that it was not even used. This is the biggest fail on a short list of criticism. This trailer did its job in building my interest but how could they not use that iconic song. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. Is this the new standard of terminator teams? My hope is that there will be a continuous course correcting that will bring this franchise back to the action/horror mountain top that it is meant for.

Will there be an "I'll be back" or "Get Out" moment? There better be.

2019 Best Summer Movies to Watch

The Talking Through The Medias team has been invited to screen and review the following upcoming films. These are the film line ups we are excited about because they are originals and franchises that seem like they will pack a punch. Here is my break down of each one and why I think you'll want to join us in the theaters.

As the summer months approach and schools’ prep to let out their students for summer break, theaters are bound to be filled with countless comedies, thrillers and dramas to escape the raging sun for some much-needed cool air shelter. From teens trying to escape a dream-scenario turned nightmare in MA with Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer, to a spin-off of the wildly popular series X-men with its most beloved character DARK PHOENIX, to comedy icon Kevin Heart returning to the big screen in a small package as Snowball for THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS 2 to an audience favorite duo fighting it out on stage in FAST & FURIOUS PRESENTS: HOBBS & SHAW and a Hispanic film of a turbulent relationship that will make you non-stop laugh with LAS PILDORAS DE MI NOVIO these summer film’s cover all genres that are sure to have something for all the ages to enjoy!

MA (May 31)

Official Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | #MAMovie

Developed by the executive producer of cinematic hit Get Out, the film stars Sue Ann (Octavia Spencer), a loner, who one day is asked by a teenager to buy some booze for her and her friends. She offers the kids her basement for them to drink, but MA’s hospitality soon starts to turn into obsession, and now these teenagers must find a way to escape the terrorizing ways of MA.

My Thoughts: Octavia Spencer, this award winning phenom has not let me down yet. Her acting style and presents is warm and inviting, strong and illuminating. Now take all of that charisma and put it in to a world of horror and madness. I have the feeling that this movie will have me speculating and have all of my expectations pleasantly and shockingly shattered. I'm looking forward to this screening because I trust the star and the 

Dark Phoenix (June 7)

Official Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | #DarkPhoenix

This is the story of one of the X-Men’s most beloved character as she evolves into the iconic DARK PHOENIX. Wrestling with an increasingly unstable power as well as her own personal demons, Jean Grey spiraling out of control threaten the fabric of just not the X-Men but of our planet. The family of mutants that we’ve come to know and love must face their most devastating enemy yet – one of their own.

My thoughts: This may be the one I'm most excited about. How will the Fox version of the X-Men conclude now that the property is back home with Marvel Studios? We may not be getting a film with the X-Men for five years according to the Disney executives but the end of an era is putting it mildly. I hope it delivers and can not wait till my crew and I are gobbling up more popcorn and getting our mutation on. This has been about 20 years in the making since the original X-Men film. Yes it has come to a new team but remember we're still in the same universe as the original.

Abominable (September 27)

Official Website | #Abominable

This film will transport the audiences on an epic 2,000-mile adventure from the streets of Shanghai to the breathtaking Himalayan snowscapes. When teenage Yi (Chloe Bennet, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) encounters a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in Shanghai, that starts an epic adventure with her mischievous friends, Jin and Peng, to help the magical creature “Everest” before zoologist Dr. Zara captures the Yeti and takes it far away from its family.

My thoughts: Just like you, I was thinking "what is this" don't worry, its Dreamworks. We should be in great hands. Lets take the family out and see what Chloe Bennet and Sarah Paulson, two of my favorite actors of the small screen have to show us. 

The Secret Life of Pets 2 (June 7)

Official Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | #SLOP2

This is the highly anticipated sequel to 2016’s comedic blockbuster that had the biggest opening weekend of any original film. Starring Kevin Heart as Snowball, Tiffany Haddish as Daisy and Harrison Ford as Rooster, these pets are up against obstacles that will determine their courage. The film explores the emotional lives of our pets, the deep bond between them and the families that love them, and answers the question that has long intrigued every pet owner: What are your pets really doing when you’re not at home?

My Thoughts: Okay, Now I'm ready. I feel that this time around we're really going to stick the landing and see exactly what our pets do when we're not at home. Maybe they'll save the city again from an army of upset animals but I'm thinking we're going to stay grounded and just keep the story domesticated and have more of a wholesome fun time as the secret is finally revealed.

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (August 2)

Official Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | #HobbsandShaw

The Fast & Furious franchise is back, now featuring its first stand-alone vehicle, with Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham reprising their roles as Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw that must team up to defeat cyber-genetically enhanced anarchist Brixton (Idris Elba) as he gains control of an insidious bio-threat that could alter humanity forever. These two sworn enemies will have to partner up to bring down the only guy who might be worse than themselves.

My Thoughts: Dude, you had me at The Rock and Jason. There's no way that this movie shouldn't be a contender for the billion dollar club. Its coming from a powerhouse of a franchise and has franchise viagre staring in it. It looks funny and finally features superpowers in the Fast and Furious universe. Shut up and take my money!!!
