If You Say So Thered-band trailerforPeter Farrelly’sMovie 43leaned hard on the shock factor of seeing big Hollywood stars revel in foul language and filthy jokes, but the poor green-band trailer is stuck trying to sell the exact same product by only hinting at what the NSFW version could actually show.

‘Murder On The Orient Express’ Trailer: Kenneth Branagh And His Mustache Will Solve A Mystery Thefirst trailerforMurder on the Orient Expressbecame a viral sensation not because it was representing an adaptation of a celebrated mystery novel from a grand master of the genre directed by a respected filmmaker and starring a murderer’s row of interesting actors. Oh, no. It became a viral sensation because the 20th Century Fox marketing department apparently decided that a preview for one of the most legendary whodunits of all timeneeded some Imagine Dragons on the soundtrack to attract the kids....

‘Resident Evil Village’ Makes It Clear – No One Knows What ‘Resident Evil’ Is Anymore What even isResident Evil Village? What even isResident Evilanymore? The franchise has suffered an identity crisis sinceResident Evil 6(which resembled a Michael Bay movie with zombies more than anything else), consistently shuffling around protagonists, embracing a first-person perspective, and introducing super-powered human beings in the vein of Paul W.S. Anderson’s divisive film adaptations, only to do nothing with those characters in subsequent games, unsure if it wants to go in a new direction untethered from its original plot or not....

‘The Grudge’ Review: A Few Atmospheric Scares Aren’t Enough To Salvage This Reboot The soggy scares ofThe Grudgeare reborn yet again, this time in the hands ofNicolas Pesce, director of the horrifyingThe Eyes of My Mother. Pesce has a real knack for nasty nightmarish imagery, so handing him this franchise isn’t the worst idea in the world. At least on paper. Unfortunately, even though the filmmaker is working with a strong cast while conjuring up some haunting imagery, thisGrudgefails to justify itself....

‘The Guilty’ Review: Denmark’s Oscar Entry Is A Nifty One-Location Thriller Denmark’s 2019 Oscar entry is the kind of genre film that doesn’t normally make it through the Academy’s gates, but it’s a taut thriller with enough dramatic heft that it may prove to be an exception. High-concept thrillers are often written in reverse, with stories extrapolated (if not merely tacked on) to premises-as-a-selling points. I’d be willing to wager that the screenplay forThe Guilty, written by director Gustav Möller along with Emil Nygaard Albertsen, was conceived much the same way, though that’s hardly a point against it....
