New Bros trailer highlights the LGBT romance and comedy

Have you ever noticed that there’s not an abundance of LGBT romantic comedies? Oh, to be sure, there have almost always been gay best friends, as well as gay and lesbian relationships among the side characters. But for films with LGBT leading characters, only the independent movie studios went for those stories … until now. Billy Eichner took it upon himself to change that trend, and it’s happening with Bros, a new LGBT romantic comedy that he co-wrote with director Nicholas Stoller, with the full backing of producer Judd Apatow and Universal Pictures.

Bros | Official NSFW Trailer [HD]

While Bros is still a few months away from movie theaters, Universal has dropped a very NSFW trailer that sets up the central relationship in the movie. Eichner plays Bobby, while Luke Macfarlane portrays Aaron, both of whom are openly gay men. They just haven’t found the time or the energy to make a relationship work. At least until they find each other. But this is, after all, a romantic comedy. So it’s not going to be easy for these two to have everything they wanted. And sometimes, they’re even at odds with each other. But we have a very strong suspicion that everything will work out in the end.

Now on IMAX, Parasite is the perfect thriller for our post-Luigi world

Five years after it took the Cannes Film Festival, the Academy Awards, and the global box office by storm, Parasite is back on the big screen. That’s a pretty short amount of time to commemorate with an anniversary rerelease. Then again, it’s been a long five years, hasn't it? Oh, how the world has changed since the halcyon days of 2019 — “the last f***ing year for cinema,” to quote Quentin Tarantino, whose Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood premiered within hours of Bong Joon-ho’s darkly ingenious class-warfare caper. In retrospect, Parasite winning Best Picture on Oscar night a few months later really did feel like the final joyous surprise of an old era — a last gasp before COVID closed theaters and changed everything.

The Creator (2023)
The Creator | Official Trailer
Denzel Washington isn’t the only big-name actor in his family anymore. His son, John David Washington, has been making waves in movies, including this one. Washington plays Joshua Taylor, a U.S. Army sergeant tasked with an important mission to save humanity's future. The Creator is set in the future year 2065, a decade after an AI, created by the U.S. government, set off a nuclear warhead in Los Angeles, causing humans to rise up and fight back. That is, most humans. Some embrace the technology and believe it will be their salvation.
Joshua is brought in to help fight back and finds himself face to face with “Alphie” (Madeleine Yuna Voyles), a robot in the form of a young girl with tremendous power as an AI weapon. Our reviewer applauds the film's looks despite its budget, which is much smaller than other blockbuster movies. Though he admits the film’s premise is short-sighted and the movie is disjointed in places, he calls it visually stunning. It's a storyline that can and likely will be done again.

Does Captain America: The First Avenger still hold up?
Chris Evans in Captain America: The First Avenger

When Captain America: The First Avenger first hit theaters in 2011, the very concept of an Avenger was still a fairly new idea. We hadn't seen a single Avengers movie yet, and the Marvel universe was still establishing what would become its house style. This meant that those early movies had some high highs and low lows, and at the time, The First Avenger was considered an almost unquestioned high, and maybe the best Marvel movie since Iron Man.
It's possible that looking back at it today, The First Avenger could seem quaint. The movie isn't super action-forward and was made for a much smaller budget than many of today's Marvel juggernauts. When you watch it now, you'll find that The First Avenger is one of the few Marvel movies with a distinct tone, pace, and rhythm, and one that uses its broad ensemble cast beautifully. Here are five reasons the movie is still one of Marvel's very best:

Its stars have genuine chemistry
