Coming soon: 20 April 2025

Seen at the IMAX in Fitchburg before the excellent Sinners. If I was one of those unfortunate fellows in Plato's cave watching these, I'd know that summer is coming soon as there was a mix of big budget action movies and horror flicks.

This was a shorter teaser trailer and more of a commercial as there was no MPAA band preceding it. I don't think the name of the movie is in it. I thought it was Maybrook Missing as that's the website name that flashes at the end but the movie's title is Weapons, I just learned.

 

Coming Soon: 19 April 2025

Trailers seen at AMC in Fitchburg before The Ugly Stepsister.

Before the trailers proper was a commercial for Skill House.

I have seen this trailer 3 times and still don't quite grok what the movie is about.

This Swedish sci-fi flick looks pretty good but I have read that AI was used to alter the images to accommodate being dubbed in English. I am torn. On the one hand, I'd like to see it in the theater. On the other, I want to boycott it so this behavior stops now before it becomes a trend.

 

For the love of God, please let Marvel Studios die a dignified death and stop clogging up screens.

The plan is to see this next week. What trailers will AMC put in front of this? Is there a new Brandon Cronenberg movie out soon?

A shorter than average trailer, thankfully.

How about baseball horror: Clown in a Cornfield of Dreams. 

Coming Soon: 22 March @ AMC Fitchburg

Trailers at a screening of Ash. These followed a commercial for The Chosen: Last Supper and one for the Metropolitan Opera. Why do these Christian movies get commercials instead of trailers? Did the distributor pay to get their commercial shown? Do theaters get paid to run these movies or do they choose to screen them like other, secular/profane ones?

Summer approaches so now cometh the slasher flicks. While I had read some good words about Freaky Tales the trailer left me wholly unenthusiastic. Two red band trailers. They used to be as rare as hen's teeth and now they're not uncommon.
