Coming Soon
This discussion presents me with the rare opportunity to talk about zombies and people. Zombie films were originally allegories for consumerism. As with many ideas, the concept of what a zombie is or can represent evolves over time.

This is a rare occasion where I tell you about the re-release of a Taiwanese movie from 1992. Rebels of the Neon God is very similar to Taiwanese movies of the 90’s and most resembles Wong Kar Wai’s style of storytelling. Hsiao Kang drops out of school to be part of the revelry in Taipei.
Sesame Street is one of the most influential kids shows in the world, with good reason. They actually care to teach life lessons that your children can digest with sensitivity and creativity. This documentary focuses on Caroll Edwin Spinney, the great mind behind Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch.
Lately, I’ve been looking for something lacking in blood and guts to review, and this trailer meets all of my needs. It’s something sweet, a nice story of two souls finding each other without sex or romance involved. Best of all, it’s real or at least marginally real since there tends to always be fluff in this type of film in order to bait people.
I was looking up the IMDb page for Last Knights and I found it interesting that Lionsgate is hyping Clive Owen’s and Morgan Freeman’s Oscar nominations/wins. Their latest in both cases are from 2004, which is more than 10 years ago. Relevance seems to be in the eye of the beholder.

Paper Towns is the anticipated adaptation of John Green’s novel of the same name. The film has been penned by the same screenwriting team that adapted Green’s hugely successful The Fault In Our Stars, Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, and is directed by Jake Schreier.
So tell me if you’ve heard this one before. A well-dressed English man “transports” high value “packages” through very dangerous situations. He also knows martial arts and often beats up thugs that try to mess with his car.
As a person I am usually against being politically correct because people become extremely sensitive to certain issues. Even then I must admit my hypocrisy when certain issues are expressed in the most inane and simple ways just to sell a ticket. This is not something unusual for Hollywood, many of their films have no sense of true empathy for characters that can be considered “other”.

You know what I miss? The Office. Thus I present to you Teacher of the Year which is like The Office.
I’m going to put up a disclaimer. It won’t really do anything but it’ll explain my intentions for the rest of this trailer discussion. Movies, as an art form, are subjective to the individuals who watch them.
“To one last great adventure”. Struggling artist Jake decides to retrace his best memory of New York: walking down the entirety of Manhattan.
Coming to theaters is the new action comedy, Hot Pursuit. Inexperienced police officer Cooper, standing at “4 feet 11 inches”, must protect a “45-50 year old” Latina woman from drug dealers and dirty cops. That sentence is not entirely accurate though.
