Black Panther Teaser Trailer



The first teaser for Marvel Studios' Black Panther has landed and it certainly fuels curiosity. After an explosive entry into the MCU in Captain America: Civil War last year, things are looking good for T'Challa's first solo outing.


Directed by Creed's Ryan Coogler, the movie follows the events of Civil War. T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman) returns home to Wakanda as king, but his reign is soon challenged by Michael B. Jordan's Erik Killmonger, a Wakandan exile. Also involved - somehow - is Ulysses Klaue (Andy Serkis), a smuggler interested in Wakanda's vast resources. In order to combat this threat, T'Challa will team up with CIA agent - and head of the Joint Counter Terrorism Center - Everett K. Ross (Martin Freeman) and the Dora Milaje, Wakandan special forces responsible for protecting the king.


The trailer doesn't give very much away. Everything looks great, Coogler and his team seem to have combined the styles of sleek Marvel tech and tribal Africa. We get a lesson on Wakanda from Ulysses Klaue, who we last saw in Age of Ultron supplying the titular robot with vibranium, a transaction that cost him more than he bargained for! He explains to Ross that Wakanda is not only a reclusive country, but how it puts up a front of being a third world country to protect what is said to be one of the most advanced countries on the planet. Something we catch a glimpse of when we see a ship flying over a beautiful cityscape. There's also a hint of what happens to those who try to take from Wakanda; they have to deal with the Black Panther. And it's certainly not a pleasant experience!


The villain, Erik Killmonger is seen fighting, and causing trouble throughout. He's also responsible for breaking Klaue out of custody. Michael B. Jordan certainly sports an interesting look in this latest role, kind of like if Prince were a Marvel villain. Ready to oppose him are the warriors of the Dora Milaje, T'Challas sister, Shuri (Letitia Wright) who's seen sporting some advanced weaponry and Zuri (Forest Whitaker), an elder statesman said to be T'Challa's link to his father T'Chaka. Coogler described Zuri as T'Challa's Obi Wan Kenobi.


I have to admit, with Spider-Man: Homecoming and Thor: Ragnarok still to come, this movie felt a long way off. But after seeing this intriguing first trailer, Black Panther is very much on the map.

Road House | A Moustache Double-Bill

Firstly, I should probably point out that up until recently the high-kicking 1989 cult classic has eluded me - or maybe it was me eluding it. Who knows? Anyway, seeing that Doug Liman and Jake Gyllenhaal have taken it upon themselves to remake Road House  and put a 21st century spin on solving every problem by kicking, I figured; 'why not make it a double feature?' View the two movies for the first time one after the other and see how they measure up.  Naturally I took the chronological approach, starting with the original movie and then moving on to the remake. Watching this cult classic for the first time, I was struck by how much it feels like a feature length episode of The A-Team . Typical 80's good guy arrives in town, where he comes to blows with the rich guy/your typical A-Team  bad guy who thinks he owns the place. Seriously, stick that famous opening monologue on the beginning and have Patrick Swayze's 'Dalton' build some weird weapon from parts acquir...

Jason Bourne: Spoiler Review

I don't usually write spoiler filled reviews because I don't see the point. But considering my not so positive review of Jason Bourne, one of the most highly anticipated movies of Summer 2016, I thought it might be worth trying to explain why I reached the verdict I did. If you haven't seen this movie stop reading because there are spoilers ahead. Click here to see the spoiler free review. The movie begins with Bourne in Greece. He's laying low, making money by competing in underground fights and still struggling with his past. He lacks purpose which is making him miserable. Nicky Parsons on the other hand is busy hacking the CIA in order to expose their black ops programs. So far so good. But when Nicky finds something out about Jason's (or should I say David's) past, she heads to Greece to find him. Unfortunately her activities have drawn the attention of CIA Agent Heather Lee (Alicia Vikander), a cyber ops specialist who begins to track her. Using a ...
