Bomb City is a crime/drama about the cultural aversion of a group of punk rockers in a conservative Texas town. Their ongoing battle with a rival, more-affluent clique leads to a controversial hate crime that questions the morality of American justice.

Directed by Jameson Brooks; Dave DavisGlenn Morshower and Logan Huffman star.

I’m intrigued because it’s based on a true story, and this trailer is well-made. If I’m honest, though, a part of me doesn’t want to see Bomb City because it’s so dark that it’ll likely change my mood for at least a few hours post-viewing. Additionally, a scene in this trailer reminds me of one of the most terrifying things about Tom Ford’s Nocturnal Animals (2016).

Maybe the right mood will hit, and I’ll watch this anyway, especially if it’s a sunny day, and because I want to see some good courtroom action.

Bomb City Release Dates: February 9th, 2018 (US)…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Spotlight (2015).


Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Liev Schreiber, John Slattery and Stanley Tucci are the stars of Spotlight, a true story about abuse and a gross coverup.

This trailer has me thinking about why empathy and love are key to the eradication of the ills.

I’ll be watching because the cast is brilliant. Plus, I desperately want to see the good guys win.

Release Date(s): November 6th, 2015 (US), January 29th 2016 (UK)…
