Wild, Kinky Trailer for Hitoshi Matsumoto's Absurd 'R100'

So where to begin with R100, exactly? If you've been listening to my show Cinema Royale or checking me and +Tim Gordon on Addicted to Film each week chances are you've heard me mention Hitoshi Matsumoto's insane S&M comedy more than once. It was the oddest experience I had at Sundance because the film was designed to test the limits of what the audience will endure. That may seem like a joke but it's true; probably more than half of the audience was gone by the time it was over. Equal parts wacky, gross, and totally incomprehensible, R100 is not a film for everybody but those who take to it, like I did, will find it unforgettable.

A new trailer and poster for the film has been released and the warning should say it all: "No one under 100 will be admitted." The Japanese rating system's equivalent to NC-17 would be R18, so the movie's title is basically saying this sh*t is too wild for just about anybody, and they're right. In fact, the ratings board plays an integral role in the film, and all I'll say is their introduction flips the plot sideways. Nao Omori (Ichi the Killer) plays a single father who joins a unique S&M club, one with an unbreakable one year contract. He gets off on enduring punishment (hence the euphoria on his face), but things go out of control when dominatrixes start showing up everywhere and anytime to kick his ass. They show up at work, on the street, and unfortunately at home when his kid is around. The trailer sells just how crazy the movie really is without giving away too much, plus it has some shots of my girl (and ex-pro wrestler) Lindsay Kay Hayward who plays the big bad "villain" of the piece.

R100 is in some theaters now but expands and hits VOD next month.

Red Band Trailer for 'Kingsman: The Secret Service' has Nothing to Lose

Fox may have moved Matthew Vaughn's hyper violent spy flick Kingsman: The Secret Service to early next year, but they are sparing no expense in making sure it's a hit. And they're doing a pretty good job of it, too, because every piece of new footage is more fun than the last. Colin Firth as the world's greatest super spy? What's not to love about that? Plus crazy gadgets and colorful villains, like Samuel L. Jackson's lispy Valentine and a female assassin with razor legs? Sign me up.

A new red band trailer reveals some new footage, mainly focusing on the evil plot cooked up by Valentine. It's the one aspect of the story we hadn't been privy to from prior trailers, and it looks like he's found a way to cause mass chaos around the world. All of this as Firth recruits his nephew (Taron Egerton) into a secret spy organization in hopes of stopping the global threat.  Also starring Michael Caine, Mark Hamill, and Sofia Boutella, Kingsman: The Secret Service opens February 13th.

NSFW Trailer for Chris Rock's 'Top Five' co-starring Rosario Dawson

The timing of this new, very NSFW trailer for Chris Rock's new comedy Top Five couldn't be better. I literally just saw it about 30 minutes ago, and without going into specifics it's a film his fans absolutely must see. Not only is it very funny, but also very personal to Rock as he plays a former stand-up comedian and comedy actor trying to become a serious thespian. But with an impending marriage to a reality TV star (Gabrielle Union), a new film opening in theaters, and an interview with a beautiful journalist (Rosario Dawson), he finds himself questioning the personal and professional choices he's made.

Top Five opens on December 12th. Check out the trailer below.

Vince Vaughn Goes On a Business Trip in First Trailer for 'Unfinished Business'

Good for Vince Vaughn that he'll get a chance to show what will presumably be a much darker side on HBO's True Detective next year, but he knows where his bread is buttered. That would be comedies just like Unfinished Business (formerly Business Trip), which put him back as the everyman in a film that looks like Planes, Traines, and Automobiles meets Old School.

Rejoining his Delivery Man director Ken Scott, with Dave Franco, Nick Frost, James Marsden, Sienna Miller, and Tom Wilkinson co-starring, Unfinished Business has Vaughn as a businessman who goes on a European trip to secure a major deal. Of course it goes sideways and soon he's going toe-to-toe with his old boss. This looks like standard course stuff for Vaughn, but the tone of this NSFW trailer shows there may be some dramatic edges. A few, but clearly not too many.

Unfinished Business opens March 6th 2015.

New Red Band Trailer for 'The Wedding Ringer' with Kevin Hart and Josh Gad

Looking a lot like a really screwed up version of Hitch, the Kevin Hart/Josh Gad comedy The Wedding Ringer seems poised to be one of 2015's first big hits. Few have been on a hotter streak than Hart, and who doesn't love to watch two bro's totally ruining the happy nuptials? So does it have a chance to be the next Wedding Crashers? Check out the new red band trailer and decide for yourself.

Hart plays a guy who runs a business providing "best man" services to grooms who don't have any friends, which makes Gad the perfect client. This is one of the filthiest red band trailers we've seen in months, so definitely don't watch it at work or around the kiddies. Jeremy Garelick, who penned the insightful relationship dramedy The Break-Up, is directing this one and hopefully he has a few things to say about the nature of marriage, as well. Or if he just wants to be straight-up silly like this footage suggests, that's perfectly fine, too.

Also starring Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting, Cloris Leachman, Olivia Thirlby, Jorge Garcia, Alan Ritchson, Jenifer Lewis, and Mimi Rogers, The Wedding Ringer opens January 16th 2015.

Jake Gyllenhaal gets Graphic in Red Band Trailer for 'Nightcrawler'

So who do you have down as Best Actor for the Oscars? It's going to come down to the wire with a number of performances seeming like obvious choices: Steve Carell for Foxcatcher, Eddie Redmayne for The Theory of Everything, Michael Keaton for Birdman, and hopefully somewhere in there will be room for Jake Gyllenhaal, who is downright feral as a twisted journalist in Nightcrawler.

A new red band trailer for the Dan Gilroy-directed film has been released and it thrusts you head first into a seedy underworld of Los Angeles crime journalism. And at the heart of it is Jake Gyllenhaal's character, a "nightcrawler" whose desire for success and fame has no ethical or moral bounds. "If it bleeds, it leads". The media hasn't been skewered like this in a movie in a very long time, and it's a thrill ride from start to finish.

Also starring Rene Russo, Bill Paxton, and Riz Ahmed, Nightcrawler opens Oct. 31st.

There are No Rules for Mark Wahlberg in 'The Gambler' Red Band Trailer

Is Mark Wahlberg finally on the verge of that elusive first Best Actor win? Obviously he's not going to get it for Transformers, but later this year he'll make a grab at the gold in The Gambler, a remake of the 1974 film that stands as one of James Caan's defining roles. Directed by Rupert Wyatt and co-starring Brie Larson, John Goodman, Michael K. Williams, and Jessica Lange, the film has Wahlberg as a teacher with the kind of gambling problem that leads to some serious problems with some bad people.

The first trailer has been released and it's pretty vulgar, hence the red band tag, but it also does a nice job of showing the desperation and compulsion in Wahlberg's character, and the quality of his performance. This is big gear shift for Wyatt who last directed Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and he appears to be right on point. Will it stand up to the original, though? For that we'll have to wait until December 19th to find out. Check out the trailer below.

Jason Momoa is a Big Bad Wolf in Red Band Trailer for 'Wolves'

Jason Momoa has built a pretty good career playing fearsome savages in Game of Thrones and Conan the Barbarian, and he'll apparently play a much tougher version of Aquaman than we've ever seen in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. But to see Momoa at his most feral you'll want to check out his next film, the campy, bloody action flick Wolves, directed by X-men scribe David Hayter.

A new red band trailer for the film has been released and this looks like some lost episode of HBO's True Blood or something. Momoa stars alongside Lucas Till (Havok in X-men: First Class) in the story of Cayden Richards, a kid accused of murdering his parents who stumbles into the town of Lupine Ridge, which *shocker* is populated by a clan of werewolves. There Cayden explores his mysterious past, falls in love, and tries not to become prey.

Wolves hits theaters Nov. 14th and VOD two days later. Check out a red and green band trailer for it below.

Hilarious Red Band Trailer, Clips, and Promos for 'Dear White People'

Let's be honest, racism is never going away, and there's nothing funny about some of the racially-charged stories that have been in the news lately. But there is plenty of humor to be found in the way people stereotype others and pretend racism doesn't exist in the Obama era. Basically, Justin Simien's debut feature Dear White People tears apart the myth of post-racial America and does it in hilarious and perceptive fashion, as seen in this new red band trailer.

Starring Tyler James Williams, Tessa Thompson, Teyonah Parris, Brandon P. Bell, Kyle Gallner, Dennis Haysbert and more, the film centers on the uproar caused at a predominantly white university over two things: a controversial radio program titled 'Dear White People', and a campus "hip-hop" party featuring some incredibly offensive black stereotypes. It's a film I enjoyed at Sundance, although perhaps not as much as some others. One thing for sure is that Dear White People is going to turn some heads when it opens on October 17th. Check out the trailer and a clip below, followed by some hilarious promos done in the style of those cheesy "The More You Know" promos NBC used to run during commercial breaks.

Katherine Heigl is a Killer Housewife in Red Band Trailer for 'Home Sweet Hell'

There was a short spell there when Katherine Heigl was viewed as one of America's sweethearts. Her role as "Izzie" on Grey's Anatomy seemed to reenforce that public perception, along with a series of cutesy intolerable romantic comedies. The public doesn't really regard her that way, anymore, and she's been less of a presence on the big and small screen lately, which may explain why she's in a movie like Home Sweet Hell.

The plus side is that Heigl has a chance to show a darker, more devious side and that's what she seems to be embracing in the film's new red band trailer. She plays Mona, the maddeningly stifling and dominating wife to her husband Don (Patrick Wilson). When he admits to committing adultery with a co-worker (Jordana Brewster), Mona convinces him to kill her, leading to all a situation that spirals rapidly out of control.  Heigl appears to be having way too much fun ("No, silly, get the hammer.") and Wilson is always great when playing the hapless husband. It's kind of a spin on the character he played in Little Children, only with more murder and crystal meth.

Directed by Anthony Burns (Skateland) with Jim Belushi and Kevin McKidd co-starring, Home Sweet Hell has yet to gain a release date.

Kim Jong-un is James Franco's Fan in Red Band Trailer for 'The Interview'

That title is ironic because North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is most definitely not a fan of James Franco or Seth Rogen right now. In fact, Jong-un has already declared their R-rated spy comedy The Interview an "act of war" with a demand the film be halted or face some kind of terrible retribution. Well if he was mad then, this new red band trailer isn't likely to make him feel any better.

Franco and Rogen play a pair of Hollywood dim wits who head to North Korea to interview Kim Jong-un, but are instead recruited by the CIA to assassinate him. It's a pretty stupid concept but the same can be said of every one of the duo's collaborations (Pineapple Express, This is the End) and those turned out pretty well. There are worse things than Franco and Rogen doing their own take on Spies like Us with an dumber pair of morons at the center of it. And besides, with all of the controversy the film has sparked you know they're going to bring it.

Directed by Rogen and Evan Goldberg with Lizzy Caplan and Rob Lowe co-starring, The Interview opens Christmas Day, just don't expect to see it in North Korea.

Red Band Trailer for Found Footage Horror 'As Above, So Below'

If the catacombed madness of The Descent was a little too claustrophobic for you to bear, chances are John Erick Dowdle's (Devil, Quarantine) new horror As Above, So Below may not be your best option this weekend. A new extended red band trailer for the found footage horror that stars Ben Feldman, Perdita Weeks, and Edwin Hodge as archaeologists who venture into the caves below Paris to find an artifact, but end up finding something far more Hellish. Here's the official synopsis:

Miles of twisting catacombs lie beneath the streets of Paris, the eternal home to countless souls. When a team of explorers venture into the uncharted maze of bones, they uncover the dark secret that lies with this city of the dead. A journey into madness and terror.

As Above So Below opens August 29th.

Watch the 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For' Comic-Con Trailer and Panel; Robert Rodriguez Talks 'Sin City 3'

While many of the major films to show their wares at Comic-Con were met with solid response, one that got a pretty tepid reaction was Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. Maybe it's because the film is so close to hitting theaters and we've seen so much from it, but there hasn't been a ton of strong buzz. Or perhaps it's because Rodriguez dicked fans around for eight years, promising the movie was "next" on his list only to shove it aside until now. Whatever the case, now that the movie is here Rodriguez and Sin City creator Frank Miller are already talking about Sin City 3...assuming there is demand for it.

Miller: “Robert and I are already talking about ‘Sin City 3. So you'd better show up for number two or they won't pay for it."

Right. And if I recall the panel ended with a "Seeya for Sin City 3" comment or something along those lines, but the point is that Rodriguez and Miller REALLY want there to be another one. Of course, they've said this before. We know Rodriguez is always busy and could get jammed up again, so why doesn't Miller just direct the third movie himself? Oh yeah, because he helmed The Spirit, tried to do it in Sin City style, and everybody loathed it. 

Anyway, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For opens August 22nd. Check out the red band Comic-Con sneak peek and panel discussion, followed by a bunch of new posters.

Comic-Con: Red Band Trailer for 'Hot Tub Time Machine 2' Goes Into the Future

When Hot Tub Time Machine debuted a couple of years ago it had a lot more buzz than it actually lived up to. The concept was solid, with a group of friends traveling back in time to cause some hijinks, and the cast of John Cusack, Rob Corddry, Clark Duke, and Craig Robinson promised a lot of laughs. But laughs were apparently out of fashion or something because the film wasn't that funny and only made about $60M, which admittedly was more than it cost although not by that much. Basically, a sequel was hardly being clamored for, and yet Hot Tub Time Machine 2 is here, and the first red band trailer has debuted at Comic-Con of all places.

Yep, it was here during the Paramount Pictures panel the trailer made its big premiere, and unfortunately nobody asked why Cusack decided he wanted no part of the film. John Cusack, choosey? Since when? Did you see The Bag Man? Anyway, the rest of the cast is intact, including Chevy Chase, with new additions Adam Scott and Gillian Jacobs. Returned from the past, the gang have used their knowledge of the future for personal gain, only to have it come back and bite Lou (Corddry) in the rear end. In a desperate bid to save his life, they attempt to go back in time but only succeed in going further into the future and must fix things if there is any hope of return. While Terminator gets referenced the film actually looks more like Bill & Ted than anything else, which is a very good thing. Whether it turns out to be half as funny we'll have to wait and find out but so far this is a promising start. Oh, and it's red band for a reason so don't watch at work.

Steve Pink returns to direct Hot Tub Time Machine 2 which opens on Christmas Day.

Red Band Trailer for 'Affluenza' Starring Nicola Peltz, Ben Rosenfield, and Steve Guttenberg(!!!)

Chances are you had never heard of the term "affluenza" before last year when a rich, spoiled Texas teen was given a light probation sentence after his drunk driving resulted in the deaths of four people. He mounted what turned out to be a successful defense claiming he suffered from affluenza, basically that he had lived such a life of privilege that he never learned the difference between right and wrong. It was a landmark case and got a lot of people justifiably pissed, seeing it as just another way that the rich get all the breaks. But Affluenza is definitely a crock of shit a thing now, and it's also a movie starring a pair of hot young stars and a couple of venerable old veteran actors.

Affluenza stars Nicola Peltz, the Bates Motel star who will feature heavily in Transformers: Age of Extinction, Boardwalk Empire's Ben Rosenfield, Grant Gustin (CW's The Flash), Samantha Mathis (American Psycho), and Gregg Sulkin, but what we are obviously most excited about is the presence of Steve Guttenberg, the guy who inspired our vaunted movie rating system. Maybe we can get him in for an interview finally? He's like our white whale or something. Anyway, the film is directed by Kevin Asch, who last helmed the Jesse Eisenberg-led drug flick, Holy Rollers. Affluenza hits theaters on July 11th with a VOD release the same day. Check out the official synopsis below along with the trailer.

Suburbia, 2008. Swept up in a heady pre-recession world of absentee parents, plentiful booze and casual sex, aspiring photographer Fisher Miller (Ben Rosenfield) escapes his middle-class life for the moneyed mansions of the young, beautiful elite. With a stash of high-quality weed and a vintage camera, he gains access to his gorgeous cousin Kate's (Nicola Peltz) circle of wealthy and indulged friends, just as their entitled reality is about to spin out of control. A revealing take on the hidden perils of privilege.

Red Band Trailer! Time to Bring The Nasty With 'Sex Tape'!

Move over Baseball, it's time for the new national past time, the sex tape! Now, I know this new Cameron Diaz/Jason Segel comedy is geared for laughs...but seriously it brings up a scary situation. I don't know if it's just me but that "Automatically stream" option in the IPhone is a constant button of dread. Anyone that's read this site for any amount of time knows that my sense of humor trends quite low-brow. Needless to say this trailer had me cracking up, as someone that's not exactly a fan of Cameron Diaz that's actually saying alot. Basically what we are looking at is an everyday couple that gets drunk and recreates The Joy of Sex for their own viewing pleasure. Remember that auto stream option I mentioned? Yeah, well Jason Segal's character didn't. As they sleep off the liquor and sex their Kardashian special is uploaded to the cloud for all of the world to see. What follows is the pointless quest to eradicate their romp from the interwebs. As I'll always disclaim, it's hard to tell from a trailer, but my early prediction is two ...um, thumbs...up. Check it out 

Sex Tape hits theaters July 18th, 2014

Red Band Trailer for 'Let's Be Cops' Hits the Street

20th Century Fox is hoping they can capture some of the magic they've found on New Girl and bring it to the silver screen with the R-rated comedy Let's Be Cops. New Girl stars Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. lead what looks to be a silly buddy comedy about two friends who dress up as cops and, addicted to the power and fame it brings, decide to live it up. That is until they get in the middle of an actual crime involving dirty cops and gangsters, and must stumble their way out of the mess.

The latest red band trailer suggests a mindless and raunchy romp with a terrific supporting cast of Rob Riggle (22 Jump Street), Keegan-Michael Key, Andy Garcia, James D'Arcy, and Nina Dobrev. Johnson's been steadily building up indie cred with Safety Not Guaranteed and Drinking Buddies, but will that carry over into something as wildly different as this? Directed by Luke Greenfield, Let's Be Cops opens August 13th.

Channing Tatum Goes to Work in New '22 Jump Street' Red Band Trailer

"Why every time you speak I want to throw the fuck up"? With less than a week until Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, and scene-stealer Ice Cube return for 22 Jump Street, Sony Pictures has released a new red band trailer as a reminder of how raunchy and vulgar the film will get. That's something which may have been lost a little bit in the first film; that for all the stupid sophomoric jokes it went pretty far out there and earned its R-rating. Clearly this one will too as the sex, F-bombs, and violence pile up during the duo's investigation of a drug ring on a college campus.

Directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller with Peter Stormare, Dave Franco, and Nick Offerman co-starring, 22 Jump Street opens June 13th.

Red Band Trailer for Sci-Fi Epic 'Snowpiercer'

Bong Joon-Ho's highly anticipated Snowpiercer will be opening the LA Film Festival in June, indicating once and for all that the arguments are over in regards to the final version. Harvey Weinstein won't chop out 20 minutes as he was tempted to do, and Joon-Ho will get the full director's cut he wanted. It'll only open in limited release, but hey, those are the breaks.

An action-packed red band trailer and some new images have been released for the futuristic film. Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell, Alison Pill, Octavia Spencer, Song Kang-ho, John Hurt, and Ed Harris star, with the story set in a future when an attempt to end global warming thrusts the world into a new ice age. What remains of humanity travels the world in a train propelled by a perpetual motion engine, until a violent class war erupts amongst the passengers.

Despite the mixed response it earned on the festival circuit, Snowpiercer is one film I'm dying to see on June 27th.

Red Band Trailer for Seth MacFarlane's 'A Million Ways to Die in the West'

After banking $540M on Ted, an R-rated comedy about a talking teddy bear, Seth MacFarlane could have done pretty much anything he wanted. A Ted sequel? Sure, that'll come later and probably earn a ton. But how about taking on the deadly comedy-western drama and casting himself in the lead role? Not such an easy road to travel, yet that's what MacFarlane has done with A Million Ways to Die in the West, so saddle up for the latest red band trailer.

MacFarlane is joined by a slew of heavy-hitters that include Charlize Theron, Giovanni Ribisi, Amanda Seyfried, Neil Patrick Harris, Liam Neeson, and Sarah Silverman in the story of a wimpy goat farmer who backs out of a gun fight and loses what little dignity he has. He also loses his girlfriend, and in an attempt to win her back he's toughened up by a new beauty in town.

It looks like some of the best sight gags are being spent on these trailers but hopefully MacFarlane is keeping plenty more under his cowboy hat. A Million Ways to Die in the West opens May 30th.
