Must see movie trailers…

Only reason I might see this is that I liked True Grit
Also, for some reason, Kevin is considered some kind of legend in film school.

This Summer the American Saga begins. Horizon: An American Saga – Only in Theaters June 28 #Horizonamericansaga

Academy Award-winning visionary filmmaker Kevin Costner directs New Line Cinema’s vast “Horizon: An American Saga” Chapters One and Two, a multi-faceted chronicle covering the Civil War expansion and settlement of the American West. A story of America too big for one film, this true
cinematic event also stars Costner, who co-writes with Jon Baird (“The Explorers Guild”) and produces through his Territory Pictures.

In the great tradition of Warner Bros. Pictures’ iconic Westerns, “Horizon: An American Saga” explores the lure of the Old West and how it was won—and lost—through the blood, sweat and tears of many. Spanning the four years of the Civil War, from 1861 to 1865, Costner’s ambitious cinematic adventure will take audiences on an emotional journey across a country at war with itself, experienced through the lens of families, friends and foes all attempting to discover what it truly means to be the United States of America.

Costner stars alongside an impressive ensemble cast that includes Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone, Owen Crow Shoe, Tatanka Means, Ella Hunt, Tim Guinee, Danny Huston, Colin Cunningham, Scott Haze, Tom Payne, Abbey Lee, Michael Rooker, Will Patton, Georgia MacPhail, Douglas Smith, Luke Wilson, Isabelle Fuhrman, Jamie Campbell Bower, Alejandro Edda, Wasé Winyan Chief, Michael Anganaro, Angus Macfadyen, Jon Beavers, Alex Nibley, Kathleen Quinlan, Etienne Kellici, Amos Jason Charging Cloud, Bodhi Okuma Linton, Gregory Cruz, James Russo, Jeff Fahey, David O’Hara, Chris Conner, Leroy M. Silva, Bernardo Velasco, Tom Everett, Glynn Turman, Giovanni Ribisi and more.

Costner returns to directing for the first time since his 2003 critically acclaimed hit “Open Range,” and revisits Civil War-era America, the setting for his 1990 blockbuster and directorial debut, “Dances with Wolves,” which won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. He produces alongside Howard Kaplan and Mark Gillard, with Danny Peykoff, Robert Scannell, Armyan Bernstein, Charlie Lyons, Barry Berg and Rod Lake executive producing.

Costner is joined behind the camera by director of photography J. Michael Muro (“Billionaire Boys Club,” “Parker”), production designer Derek R. Hill (“Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan,” “The Magnificent Seven”), editor Miklos Wright (“For All Mankind,” “Open Range”) and costume designer Lisa Lovaas (“Ambulance,” “Transformers: The Last Knight”). The music is by Oscar nominee John Debney (“The Passion of the Christ,” “The Greatest Showman”).

A New Line Cinema presentation of a Territory Pictures production, “Horizon: An American Saga” will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. The films will be released in theaters nationwide, the first on June 28, 2024, the second on August 16, 2024.

back to its roots: While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.

A drama based on the life of Ronald Reagan, from his childhood to his time in the oval office.

Was lucky enough to catch this show at his peak and when he was in the zone. Lots of laughs. Such a good writer and impressionist with the voices. I used to even be a subscriber. Thing is, all good things come to an end. He’s one of the funniest guys I ever heard, but one day, he came on the air and started getting political and literally told his audience to their faces that he now worked for the important people that have all the money and he became totally left-wing and it just wasn’t the same after that.
I give him credit though for telling his fans upfront that he had sold out to the globalist propagandists. Never listened to him again after that. Even the show sounded different. Made me think maybe a former producer had the glue to hold it together, but even the sound of the show changed and was not of former quality.
It also makes me wonder when a comedic genius hits it big, how long can the career possibly last? For me, The Simpsons never really got old.

Hendrie is a feature documentary on the legendary talk-radio comic legend Phil Hendrie, who influenced a legion of great comedic minds through his innovative and relatively short-lived, off-the-wall radio show. The film chronicles the life of a radio personality that dared to satirize the very medium he was part of, using a distinct and original method that hasn’t been attempted before or since. Some of the funniest and most interesting names in show business weigh in including: Bill Hader, Judd Apatow, Kevin Pollak, Henry Rollins, Dana Gould, Wayne Federman and many others.

I am amazed how they can restore old movies to 4K. Hope they do more of this, as there are many classic films, like this one, that I haven’t seen yet. Some snarky commenter said it would be nice that if they could do it in IMAX too, in addition to 4K. It’s wild to think about and what the future will bring after all of this.
Going thru a bit of a phase. Just saw that TV series Shogun and enjoyed it a lot.

SEVEN SAMURAI – Official 4K Restoration Trailer
Janus Films

One of the most thrilling movie epics of all time, SEVEN SAMURAI tells the story of a sixteenth-century village whose desperate inhabitants hire the eponymous warriors to protect them from invading bandits. This three-hour ride from Akira Kurosawa—featuring legendary actors Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura—seamlessly weaves philosophy and entertainment, delicate human emotions and relentless action, into a rich, evocative, and unforgettable tale of courage and hope.

In theaters 7/5/24!

And here is the Shogun intro in 4K.

People liked the first one, but I still haven’t seen it. Will check it out soon. Normally, I do NOT go for horror, but the thing about horror is, it’s low budget and it’s very creative, which makes it impossible to ignore. That TV series EVIL got me hooked.
The mention of Short Circuit and Wall-E goes so far way back. Think about how ahead of the curve they were. Same with Real Genius. They were telling us. The 80s were a huge leap forward in tech with TRON and stuff like that. Even the SynthWave music. The other key year to me was somewhere in the mid 2000s with the rise of Youtube, Facebook and Twitter. After the cell phone and the computer, would have to say social media was like a huge leap forward.
The mention of Short Circuit and Wall-E makes me wonder how far robotics have advance and I have not seen many robots.
