‘Interstellar’ Trailer Evacuates the Planet

Interstellar

The reality is, nothing in our solar system can help us.

I miss the good ol’ days were movies were kept in secret, with the trailer only sharing a brief nugget of the spectacular event that awaited us.

Other than what J.J. Abrams did with Cloverfield and Super 8, I don’t recall a modern movie kept in so much secret as Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar.

A full trailer was released today that gives us that taste that I was talking about, and I sort of hope they keep the “event” of it under wraps until the November 7 release.

Starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Topher Grace, Wes Bentley, Casey Affleck, Michael Caine, Mackenzie Foy, Ellen Burstyn, John Lithgow and Jessica Chastain, “Interstellar chronicles the adventures of a group of explorers who make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage.

Apparently, Earth is about to go kaput, so McConaughey and company must find a new home for mankind. I love that there’s this Alien vibe to it, while also sort of implying there’s a time travel element. Anyways, this looks outstanding and you have to wonder just how good it is, considering Warner Bros. gave up their rights to both “South Park’s” Cartman and Friday the 13th just to make it.

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
