The Equalizer 3 Film Trailer Review



So what is there to say about the The Equalizer 3 trailer? This feels to me is peak male entertainment power fantasy which is not bad (and never will be). A tried and tested formula of a mysterious stoic protagonist with a shady past living a good life in retirement, but is suddenly forced out of it when face with inevitable and overwhelming circumstances that calls for his certain level of expertise from the very same shady background he wants to forget or has moved on. Some that I can think of that made huge waves in theaters are RED, Taken, Nobody, and John Wick. The Equalizer 3, being the third and last of its film franchise, looks to be no different. A high octane action film featuring one of Hollywood's top actor, Denzel Washington.


I don't know if it's the movies fault or me having poor memory, but I can barely recall what happened to the first two titles in The Equalizer's film franchise. So I have to do my homework. The first Equalizer came out back in 2014 (The Equalizer), mainly twenty five years after the CBS spy series ended; and the second film, The Equalizer 2, came out in 2018, four years after the first. I would probably watch the first two films again to get a refresher. Personally, even without context of the first two, I think anyone can easily pick up this film as the trailer has been well done and is more than enough to build hype to hod bad ass Robert McCall's character is. If you are a fan of action and spy films in general, this is an easy recommend.
How about you guys? What do you think about the last movie in The Equalizer franchise? Have you seen the first two or the original CBS run? What re your favorite moments on either the TV and film franchise? Do you feel that it should really end in this trilogy? What is your favorite Denzel Washington film and why?

Men in Black: International 2019 Movie Trailer Impressions: MIB Returns for 2019 with Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson

Men in Black: International is a 2019 sci-fi action comedy film starring Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson, Emma Thompson, Liam Neeson and Kumail Nanjiani; under the direction of F. Gary Gray and screenplay from Art Marcum and Matt and Holloway slated for a June 14, 2019 US theatrical release. Stylized as MIB: International, this 2019 spin-off from the original trilogy of Men in Black films which starred Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, now follows a different set of agents and focuses more on the MIB London office as they face a new villainous alien threat. Let's check out what this 2019 Men in Black spin-off has in store for the movie-going public with Men in Black: International here on CMAQUEST.

Men in Black: International Film Trailer Review


So what is there to say about the Men in Black: International official movie trailer? Well, it's good to see the expansion of the world of Men in Black which was loosely based from the Malibu/Marvel comics of the same name by Lowell Cunningham. It is good to see some old faces like Frank the Pug, the Worms, and Agent O (played by Emma Thompson), the head of MIB's US branch. Since Agents K (Tommy Lee Jones/Josh Brolin) and J (Will Smith)'s story has ended with the original MIB film trilogy, we now follow two new agents, Agent M (Tessa Thompson) and Agent H (Chris Hemsworth).




We can see that the two leads, Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson, have good chemistry. I think this is what sells this MIB spin-off, get two very likable and charismatic stars who are both from two Marvel movies Thor Ragnarok and 2019's Avengers: Endgame. As of the posting of this blog (June 15, 2019), reviews are coming in for the film ranging from a negative rating to an okay one, only saved by the performance of the two main leads.


How about you guys? What do you think about this 2019 MIB spinoff starring Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson? Will you be seeing it from this trailer or be influenced by how critics reviewed it?

Glass 2019 Movie Trailer Impressions: M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable Trinity Series Concludes

Glass is a 2019 superhero horror-thriller film written, co-produced, and directed by M. Night Shyamalan which stars James McAvoy, Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, Anya Taylor-Joy, Sarah Paulson, Spencer Treat Clark, and Charlayne Woodard; and is slated for a January 2019 US theatrical release. Glass is the direct sequel to the hit 2016 film which also came to a surprise to everyone who saw it, that it was an actual sequel to 2000's Unbreakable. Let's check out what the third film in the Unbreakable series of films has in store for horror movie-going fans with Glass this 2019 here:


Glass
Premise

"Following the conclusion of Split, David Dunn (Bruce Willis) pursues Kevin Wendell Crumb's (James McAvoy) superhuman persona of The Beast in a series of escalating encounters while the shadowy presence of Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson), going by "Mr. Glass", emerges as an orchestrator who holds secrets critical to both men.

So what is there to say about the Glass official movie trailer? For starters, I was really caught off guard when I watched Split as it set me up for this film and now that the trailer for this film has been released, I have no other reaction but excitement. But then again, I am a sucker for these pop corny super-powered flicks but even before Marvel knew how to handle its thing, Unbreakable was the first to impress me in terms of a superhero flick with a good narrative and a villain.


Now on to what we see in the trailer. What better way to put all these ridiculous super characters in one location but to "institutionalized" them for their bizarre mental conditions. Little did the mental expert know that she is biting more than she could chew. It is going to be interesting how they got into the institution in the first place, the forming of alliance and the ultimate conclusion of this epic bout of superiors.




M. Night Shyamalan who? Well, the guy has been on the bad end of the stick after blunder after blunder of bad films. Maybe this was for the better and hopefully this humbled him to become a much better director or script writer and less the "mindblowing" twist (coughs NOT coughs), OR just play safe and just capitalized on what he has established with Unbreakable and the Sixth Sense. In the age where people flock the theaters for big budget high octane super heroics, a much more serious, grounded but still as fantastical tale of superheroes and villains is probably what need as a palate cleanser.


How about you guys? What do you think that this will be third (and maybe final) chapter in the Unbreakable film series? What is your favorite among the previous two movies? Who was your favorite character? Share your thoughts and opinion about the Glass official trailer in the comments section below:

What is there to say about the official US trailer and the Chinese trailer for Kung Fu Panda 3?

Well first off let's focus on the First Official American Trailer for Kung Fu Panda 3. It is pretty much standard fair, showing each of the Kung Fu masters alongside Po training cuts to a funny scene showing the first interaction between father-and-son which was hinted on Kung Fu Panda 2. That is pretty much it for the American trailer. That is more than enough to get those who have seen the first two movie excited, right? Well, wait until you see the Kung Fu Panda 3 Chinese trailer which shows more action and the villain in the 2016 sequel.


On the Kung Fu Panda 3 Chinese trailer it shows more of the villain called Kai, Po's spiritual enlightenment and interaction with Oogway, and some special fight scenes which may already show more of the film and is crossing the spoiler territory. This made me more excited about the third Kung Fu Panda film. I highly suggest watching it right after watching the first one. I've also shared some stills of the trailer here which is something to hang on to if ever the video gets taken down.

The Collection Film Trailer Review

I wasn't fortunate enough to watch the first film this second one picks off, but hey it is still not too late right? I'm a bit squirmish at times but I think I'll give the first one a try first since the same characters in the first film will be on this second gore-fest of a slasher horror flick.

So what can we make out of the trailer? Well, luckily that this new mass murderer is just like the "beloved" Jigsaw from the Saw series. He is ingenious and good at creating various deadly contractions. They can't fully show the gore in this film and that's the edge of these kinds of films... the shock value. But is there anything new that can shock the slasher horror film fans? Well that is what The Collection should at least pull off in a way. In order for it to become the next Saw franchise it has to offer something more and not to become like a drained out cow milked to the bones like what other producers did with their film series.

How about you guys, are you a fan of this kind of horror film? after seeing the trailer of The Collection will you even try it out? Have you seen the first one, what can you say about it? If not, then will this make you try to grab a copy of the 2009's The Collector? Share your thoughts about The Collection movie trailer in the comments section below:

Grave Encounters 2 Film Trailer Review

It's been a while since a horror film scared me through and through. After Paranormal Activity, I started looking for films under the similar genre, the found footage style of filming. In the quest to look for new horror title that would actually scare the hell out me (being a horror fan and all), I happen to stumble upon 2011's Grave Encounters. Saw the trailer and was intrigued. I watched it earlier this year and found it actually entertaining. Really reminded me of the Blairwitch Project and a reality show that I've seen earlier in 2011 Ghost Hunters International. The found footage style of horror have become horror film's latest trend as observed in the success of the Paranormal Activity film franchise. So it is only natural for Grave Encounters to have a shot at a sequel right?

This time it is the audience of the fake reality television's turn to explore the haunted halls of the old psychiatric hospital that preyed on the crew on the first film. Being skeptics and fans of the first film, a group of film student embark on this quest biting off more than they could chew. Well, basing from this trailer, the hospital is really haunted. Well, DUH?!? If it isn't, then what a disappointing sequel would this film be. But good that they delivered. Well hopefully there are more scarier stuff than what is seen on this trailer. If I remembered correctly, the first film's trailer featured this particular scary moment in the film which took me when watching the actual film. Well, hopefully I'm wrong but the nurse seen in this trailer is just like that. Well, I thank this trailer for saving me a jump scare. Hopefully they will also deliver on their promise of double the everything. Please Grave Encounters 2, don't be the lame sequel that I dread when t comes to horror film sequels. If you like the found footage genre, horror, the first Grave Encounters, then this is a must. If you haven't checked the first one, try doing so to check what you're missing. I personally would be looking forward to see this sequel.

Thor: The Dark World News - Christopher Eccleston to Portray Malekith the Accursed

Christopher Eccleston is confirmed to play as Malekith the Accursed, ruler of the Dark Elves of Svartalfheim, in upcoming 2013 Thor: The Dark World film. This is Super Hero Watch and let's get all the juicy details about the upcoming Thor: The Dark World sequel to 2010's Thor.

Thor: The Dark World News
Christopher Eccleston as Malekith the Accursed

Christopher Eccleston, an English actor best known for his role as the ninth incarnation of the Doctor in the British television series Doctor Who. He also appeared in various films like Shallow Grave, Gone in 60 Seconds, The Others, Jude, and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. His latest major role is landing the role as Malekith the Accursed, ruler of the Dark Elves of Svartalfheim in the upcoming 2013 Marvel film Thor: The Dark World. Christopher Eccleston will join Thor: The Dark World (Thor 2) cast of Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Stellan Skarsgard, Idris Elba, Ray Stevenson, Zachary Levi, Jaimie Alexander, and Rene Russo.

Since one of the upcoming Thor sequel's villain has been revealed, let's get to know the world of the Dark Elves and its ruler, Malekith:

The Dark Elves come from the world of Svartalfheim, one of the Nine Worlds of Norse Mythology.They are ruled over by Malekith the Accursed, and the most powerful amongst their ranks was Algrim the Strong. However, Algrim was betrayed by Malekith in a bid to kill Thor. Algrim was dropped into lava and, though he survived, he was critically wounded. The Beyonder transformed Algrim into the monstrous Kurse, who seemingly kills Malekith for the betrayal...

The trio of Bitterhand, Wormwood, and Grendell serve Malekith loyally and have attempted to destroy Thor on several occasions, including once while Mjolnir was being reforged.

Source: Marvel Wikia

Malekith struck an alliance with Loki on behalf of the fire demon Surtur. He took control of a number of Earth humans using special food of the faerie provided by Hela. Malekith then killed Eric Willis, guardian of the Casket of Ancient Winters, after learning its location.

As Master of the Hounds, Malekith hunted down Roger Willis, Eric's son and new guardian of the Casket. Malekith battled Thor, and kidnapped Lorelei. Using Lorelei as bait, Malekith forced Thor to battle Algrim the Strong, one of his Dark Elf followers, then attempted to destroy both combatants by plunging them into a pool of magma. He then captured the Casket of Ancient Winters from Roger Willis.

Malekith was ultimately defeated by Thor, but not before he destroyed the Casket of Ancient Winters, releasing magical frigid force all over the Earth. Malekith was then brought as a captive by Thor to Asgard. Malekith later disguised Loki as himself to take his place in the dungeon, while he disguised himself as Balder, who was about to be crowned ruler of Asgard. Kurse, the being formerly known as Algrim, saw through Malekith's disguise when he reached Asgard City. Kurse then broke Malekith's neck, apparently slaying him. Years later, Malekith was revealed to be alive once again.

Source: Marvel Wikia

Basing from those information we can now have a general idea of what to expect in Thor: The Dark World. If the 2013 Thor sequel does primary focus on Malekith as its villain, then it is safe to assume that he'll definitely have his loyal followers Bitterhand, Wormwood, and Grendell. Of course, the big screen adaptation will definitely be different from its source material adding elements that will hopefully lead up to the seemingly plausible The Avengers film sequel.

Paranormal Activity 4 Film Trailer Review

Get ready for another Paranormal Activity! Well this is not the first time that a horror film has dragged this long. Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Saw, and Halloween are perfect examples of that. The question is will this be the final Paranormal Activity?

It seems not to be the case as this film seems to focus on the neighbors now. Uhm... is it me or this seems to be unnecessary. It seems like they are just milking the franchise now, well that has been mostly the observations for movies that have a max of two sequels, but Paranormal Activity 4 is obviously doing that. Rather than continue and tell the story of what may have happened to the sisters and the child in the first three films, the film goes to the neighbors house to share their horror. Well, we don't have anything yet to work with, but let's just hope that this new family will have some solid connection and is pivotal to this started to drag out horror film franchise.

Finally after 6 years, Hollywood has decided to take another shot with Silent Hill. I just don't know how to feel with films going 3-D nowadays, hopefully this Silent Hill sequel has something more to offer than the eye-popping 3-D and the extra bucks that goes with this theatrical effect. Well it is nice to see some iconic scenes and characters from the Silent Hill universe like Pyramid Head, the nurses and the actual town itself but hopefully there is more genuine scares and an actually good (not a carbon copy of the video games) story that weaves all of the scares and effects together. Well, let's keep our fingers crossed on this video game based movie, and hopefully it doesn't suck like any other video games that come before it.

Those who enjoyed the American Pie series would probably like this third official film which stars and reunites the same characters from its original 1999 title. This time, the comedy film deals with what life is like after all the fun, curiosity, and mishaps of high school. A reunion film of the characters you loved or hate from the series.

I like it when films try to continue the story with the same characters only getting older, smarter and more mature. This was what Toy Story 3 did, and now its American Pie's turn to do so. The film reunites the raunchy high school seniors of East Great Falls. All grown up and have "established" themselves, what further adventures and realization will these "grownups" have in this film. One thing is sure, it is the same raunchy fun that the series was known for.

Sadako 3D Trailer Impressions: Sadako, The Woman from the Original Cursed Video Makes a Comeback!

Sadako 3D is a 2012 Japanese horror film and fourth Japanese sequel to the very first Ring or Ringu back in 1998 adapted from the novel "Ring" by Koji Suzuki. Sadako 3D is directed by Tsutomu Hanabusa which stars Satomi Ishihara, Koji Seto & Yusuke Yamamoto slated for a May 12, 2012 Japanese theatrical release in spooktacular 3-D!

Kashiwada’s intention is to create chaos in the world by bringing back Sadako and the power of her curse. Now Akane has to fight against Sadako and Kashiwada to save the lives of herself and Takanori.”

Sadako 3D Film Trailer Review

We can't deny that nostalgia plays a big part in the success of a movie. Adaptations of an an iconic television show, book, or video game will usually bring out a feeling of excitement to those who grew up with such titles. The original Japanese Ring is probably one of the first Asian horror films that spook the living hell out of me as a kid which made me fell in love with it as a horror fan later on (the next film being Ju-on/Grudge). Knowing that Sadako 3D is a movie written by the original author of the nove Ring, this makes me more excited to see how will they creep out the fans who grew up with their Ring film series.

Ring's Sadako (Ringu) - 1998 Japanese horror film by Hideo Nakata.

I have read a couple of rumors regarding Sadako 3D: Mainly that the film is a spin-off movie and that the title is still subjective to change. Well, at least it is not a reboot. The past Ring films were uniquely scary in their own time and although it would be interesting to see how will Japan upgrade the scares, they decided not to. Luckily Japan isn't that crazy about making reboots unlike Hollywood. Spin-off movie? why not. Seeing the films synopsis, there is a more sinister power behind the resurfacing of the curse of Sadako, the question is will he have the same tragic story that drove him to extreme ends to creating chaos through Sadako's curse? That is what I am looking forward to with this film. No, I am not looking forward to its US adaptation but for the subtitled version if ever it gets an international theatrical release or even in home video format. And Sadako 3D? Well, I think it is a lame title as well. They can improve it by omitting the 3D and just going with plain old Sadako, although Ring: Sadako's Curse would probably have a nicer tone to it, but that's just me. Will the scares be elevated by incorporating 3-D, that is what will everyone find out once it gets released in spooktacular 3-D.

Generally fans of the Ring are pretty much hyped about this Japanese film. Hopefully seeing the international reception, the people behind it would release this internationally, but knowing the internet and devoted fans this will definitely be available in some definite time in the not so near future. Sadako 3D trailer has its creepy moments and some really cliche but still creepy parts present in a typical Asian horror movie, something that I personally adore.

I really got confused when making this post. Should I entitle the post about the animated series sequal Avatar: The Legend of Korra or The Last Airbender: The Legend of Korra? For those not aware of it, James Cameron (director of Titanic and Avatar - 2009 3-D film) claim rights to the Avatar name trademark which made the horrendous M. Night Shyamalan film adaptation of the beloved Nick animated series use the The Last Airbender as its title back in 2010. It looks like the same scenario happened to The Legend of Korra, because rather than calling it Avatar: The Legend of Korra, the new kids show used The Last Airbender: The Legend of Korra knowing that this sequel is not about the last airbender but about Korra from the water tribe. Not to mention there are already a number of airbenders in this series, Aang's son Tenzin and his children. I decided to use the The Last Airbender: The Legend of Korra as this post title because that is what the first 2011 official trailer showed as its working title, although I believe that they will hopefully drop the first part of it to make it just the Legend of Korra. Well, that's just me.
