Trailer 'Heart of the Beast' coming soon.!

Note: Hello everyone. I like to see film trailers coming from Hollywood and the Independent crowd. Even from the AI generated creators who have a long way to go before giving us realistic stories.

In this film trailer starring Brad Pitt. The AI generated animals do look fake. They are hopefully part of a good story. I'm not a fan of AI because I believe that filmmakers can still create good content with - special effects.

Opening in Movie Theaters on Friday June 12, 2026 is 'The Furious'

THE FURIOUS distribution in the U.S. is from LIONS-GATE (2025). This movie hit the festival circuit and is being compared to "The Raid" (2011). In terms of action, but both stories are totally different. I'm a huge fan of "Raid" and its' sequel.

"The Furious" looks like a lot of fun with solid action. I might be heading into a movie theater to watch it.

Below is an animated movie poster "The Furious" (2026).

Hong Kong Action.

Below is a clip from "The Furious" plus the movie trailer (2026).

Film Review 'Neglected' is cliche with no originality 1-out-of-5* Stars

NEGLECTED from INAUGURAL Entertainment (2026). This mystery thriller was said to be a "Theatrical Dump." Which means that the studio didn't believe in the movie. It got a limited release back on May 8, 2026 and "bombed" over that weekend.

I walked into an empty theater here at Albuquerque to watch this. I was completely sold by the movie trailer.

The story is simple. The son of a veteran police detective is kidnapped by a serial killer. That son is buried alive and the killer wants the dad to solve three murders. The son has 8 hours to live.

What a great premise right?.... Right..... That's where it ends because this film rips off so many thrillers from the 1990's.

Spoiler: What made me laugh was when the serial killer gave up clues. All the detective did was have a flashback and he solved each murder. It was so damn easy. 

Spoiler: What made me laugh even more.... The veteran detective freaks out over those gruesome murders. Like he had never seen anything like this in his long career. I could go on, but I will not.

Clearly this was an independent movie. It was filmed in 12 days. David Lipper served as producer, screenwriter and director. He's also in this as an actor. He clearly was influenced by 1990's thrillers. Especially "Seven" (1995) with Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt.

That is all fine, but why not go in a new direction? An example is..., let the detective "sweat" it out and re-open these murder cases on his own. Let him become a real detective and don't give him any clues....

You can watch "Neglected" over at Prime Video.

Black Comedy Trailer 'Above the Line' coming soon.!

Trailer 'Blades of the Guardians: Wind Rises in the Desert' coming soon.!

Trailer 'Gangland' coming soon.!

NOTE: This trailer on the surface is darkly lit. I think the reason is because most scenes were filmed at night. I had to watch it three times to see it clearly. Independent cinema.

It is set in Oklahoma and there are Native Indigenous influences here. Interesting.

Trailer 'Time of Death' coming soon.!
