Evil Does Not Exist - May 3rd
https://youtu.be/zVY4lWfrbME?si=BYeTUsqKizXHm0MF
I focus on US films because that's the movies I watch. I watched the trailer for Evil Does Not Exist knowing it probably wouldn't make the cut on that basis.
But here it is.
Darkness of Man

It's an action movie, but get this: the protagonist is over the hill.
And you won't believe it, but: he's still got it.
Fall Guy

Stunt double movie. Seems like a fun, stupid romantic comedy with maybe a bit too much pretentious action. They could maybe reveal a bit less of the plot. Also, I feel I'd want the action to be played down a bit because it's about being a stunt double and what they do is hard and dangerous.

From Sony, but can't find a trailer for it.Isn't this a production company?
The Dead Don't Hurt

At this point, Viggo Mortensen just wanders around Hollywood and a film of him being a cowboy shows up in theaters 9 months later.
I wrote that joke at the beginning of the trailer, but now I can only call it: Deeply Intriguing.

This is the very bad-looking Ryan Reynolds thing about imaginary friends that feels like a retread of Foster's Home for Imaginary friends and is the second imaginary friends movie to come out this year.
The Strangers : Chapter 1

Yeah, the nuanced world of three random psychos with perfect timing and coordination and kill out-of-towners needed fleshing out.
You might say that two minutes of a woman NOT-answering a door isn't a trailer. I'd say that 'Townies murder tourists' is not a franchise.

I'll
be honest with you, I thought Jennifer Lopez was a bit too old to play
tough bitch roles and I never thought I'd see her doing science fiction,
but I'm interested. Let's do this.

I didn't even see the last Mad Max and I got goosebumps from this, so well done. The look is almost animated. I didn't even recognize Chris Hemsworth.

WHich would be worse? A presidential biopic or a serious reboot of the franchise films about a big orange cat?

Trick question. The reboot with Chris Pratt is the worst.

Technically a series, but Jeff Daniels generally does good shit or the Dumb and Dumber movies, and I don't see Jim Carrey here.
