Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe were Nice Guys back in 2016. I’m sure they are still very nice today, but it looks like there won’t be a sequel because of Angry Birds. Nice Guys was an off-beat comedy about two mismatched private eyes. It did rather well at the box office, but not as well as it should have. It opened against Angry Birds, the popular app on a mobile phone that young people seem to enjoy. It should have been a slam dunk, but Angry Birds out-performed Nice Guys and it was the birds that got a sequel. Ryan Gosling talked about this in an interview with Comicbook.com. He was promot ..read more

Humans are about to be wiped out, but it’s OK, Jennifer Lopez is here to save us. She stars in a new movie from Netflix, called Atlas, here is a trailer. Well, this is a movie that now exists. It looks like every sci-fi movie ever made but with Jennifer Lopez. The official blurb for Atlas is: A bleak-sounding future, where an A.I. soldier has determined the only way to end war is to end humanity. *cough* Skynet *cough* It’s always something trying to kill humanity, AI, aliens, a zombie pandemic. This time they went with AI, in the form of Simu Liu. Atlas stars Lopez, Liu, Sterling K. Brown ..read more

Charlie Theron was the Atomic Blonde in the movie from 2017. The movie took just over $100 mill at the box office, which begs the question, where is the sequel? Kurt Johnstad, the writer of Atomic Blonde, isn’t sure where the sequel is or if there are any more planned after that. In a recent interview with CinemaBlend, he said that he wanted the movie to be a trilogy: “To me, I always said that’s a trilogy. You could tell three of those, and I hope they crack it. If they need some help, they know where to find me.“ After the initial success of the first movie, Theron announced a sequel was ..read more

Holy moly, it feels like we are in the middle of some kind of accidental Jaws season here at Last Movie Outpost. Not necessarily a bad thing, as the original is one of the greatest movies ever made. While the sequels are of declining quality, they can be fun in some places and always worthy of comment. Then we come to the fourth entry in the series. An infamous movie. A movie that is widely regarded as one of the worst movies ever made. What exactly went wrong for Jaws The Revenge? Fan art remains undefeated This Time It’s Personal Not only is it the worst movie in the franchise by quite som ..read more

That is the question! The concept of a binge-watch is a relatively new phenomenon. The opportunities first arose when DVD box sets were a thing, but then this hit the mainstream when various platforms found the habit of dropping an entire series or season of a show all at once on a streamer. Suddenly, many hours of sleep were lost as the temptation to cram in just one more episode before bed became a thing. Now, movie website OG Garth Franklin over at the always reliable Dark Horizons has dropped an article discussing how different shows take different approaches, and how this can affect their ..read more

Tony Scott’s Man On Fire is unbelievably 20 years old. It is also a firm Outpost favorite. Based on a 1980 by A. J. Quinnell, and previously adapted into Scott Glenn movie in 1987, took some time to find its audience on release. It received mixed reviews, largely due to the highly stylistic cinematography which some found off-putting. Others criticized the pacing, as it was not until the halfway point that things really heated up. However, it grew legs on home video, where people found the unapologetic revenge rampage refreshing while appreciating the hidden depths. The movie follows for ..read more

When Tom Cruise signed a strategic partnership with Warner Bros. back in January this year, it came out of the blue. Everyone had just assumed he was set up at Paramount, home of Top Gun and Mission: Impossible. It turned out he didn’t have a deal in place at Paramount since 2006, which effectively made him a free agent. Getting Cruise was a considerable coup for Warner Bros. Discovery chief David Zaslav. The deal will see Cruise work with movie studio chiefs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy in jointly developing and producing original and franchise theatrical films, both starring him ..read more

Before we go any further, Hundreds of Beavers isn’t about what I thought it was going to be about. It’s about beavers with big teeth, that build dams, not the kind I was hoping for. Now that childish joke is out of the way, let’s do the review. Whilst browsing around the interweb, I found a movie called Hundreds of Beavers. It looked interesting, so I couldn’t help myself. What I was treated to was a very funny, and humble comedy, about man versus nature. The story is: In this 19th century, supernatural winter epic, a drunken applejack salesman must go from zero to hero and become North Ameri ..read more
