‘Between Us’ Trailer: Ben Feldman & Olivia Thirlby Struggle With The Forever Part Of Marriage By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 29, 2016 7:10 am EST Romance is a staple of cinema.

Between Us is another one of those films....
By Chris Evangelista/Jan. 25, 2018 5:30 am EST Setting the sequel around the time of the fall of the Berlin wall is certainly an interesting idea, and already conjures up an entirely different atmosphere for the film compared to the original’s sun-dappled summer mood. This also implies the film will move beyond the “somewhere in Northern Italy” setting. Later, the filmmaker revealed plans not just for one sequel, but multiple films that keep returning to these two characters:...

‘House Of Cards’ Season 5 Trailer: ‘One Nation, Underwood’ By Jacob Hall/May 1, 2017 9:00 am EST I’m still a few seasons behind on Netflix’s House of Cards, so I can’t directly comment on the events showcased in the new trailer for the fifth season of the streaming service’s flagship series. However, I can say this much: this sure is one effective trailer, the kind of marketing that may nudge me into actually giving the show another shot after getting bogged down in the first episodes of season three....

‘The China Hustle’ Trailer: The Biggest Wall Street Heist You’ve Never Heard Of Is Still Happening By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 22, 2017 9:00 am EST “There are no good guys in this story.” Remember that as you watch the trailer for The China Hustle, a new documentary from the producers of the eye-opening Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room.
