Trailer Spotlight: THE CREATOR (2023) – humans battle AI robots in Gareth Edwards’ post-apocalyptic thriller
Artificial Intelligence has occupied the zeitgeist for some time now but its dominance seems to have skyrocketed of late.

AI and aliens are common villains …

Trailers Spotlight: TENET and DOWNHILL
Happy Friday, folks! I was going to post TENET trailer last night when it first arrived, but didn't get a chance to do so. Then his morning, I received a trailer news release of a movie I didn't even know was being made, DOWNHILL. Well, as I always like to mix the tone/genre/style when posting …
