Searchlight Pictures has released the first trailer for Rental Family, a dramedy starring Brendan Fraser. The film is set to premiere in theaters in November, and after the revival of Fraser’s career, we are all eager to see what the actor does next.

Lend me a family for a while

In Rental Family, Fraser plays the role of an American actor living in Tokyo, where he gets involved with an agency that offers rental families. This concept, quite popular in Japan, allows lonely individuals or those in complex situations to hire actors to play family roles, creating human connections through these temporary interactions. As Fraser’s character delves into this unusual profession, he begins to find unexpected relationships and affections in the lives of those he impersonates.

The narrative of the film touches on themes of loneliness, connection, and the search for belonging in an often isolating environment. Through humor and drama, Rental Family examines how people can find comfort and companionship in unconventional ways. This project represents a continuation of Fraser’s artistic evolution, known for his charismatic and emotional roles in previous films.

With a distinctive focus on human relationships, Rental Family promises to be both entertaining and moving, offering a fresh and sensitive look at family dynamics in a modern world. Following Fraser’s resurgence like a phoenix, we will be keeping a close eye on this film.

Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, ride together in ‘Bad Boys For Life’ trailer

Burnett and Lowrey are back to the streets of Miami in “Bad Boys for Life.”

Will Smith

It’s been 17 years since Will Smith and Martin Lawrence asked audience members “whatcha gonna do when they come for you.” Those years were nice to Will Smith as he continued to stay in shape and make more hit movies. However, those years definitely don’t look like they were kind to Lawrence as you can see in the new trailer for “Bad Boys for Life.”

Will Smith still looks like he is capable of taking down street-urchins in the drug-filled streets of Miami. However, Lawrence looks like he has a frequently used loyalty card to Krispy Kreme in his wallet and a gym membership that hasn’t been used since the Bush administration.

In the two previous Bad Boys films, Smith and Lawrence played Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowrey: two loose-canon cops that continuously get in over their heads. Their witty banter is only matched by their over-the-top detective antics and explosion-filled romps.

The movie centers around the two cops trying to figure out what to do with their lives. Burnett (Lawrence’s character) is now the police inspector while Lowrey is still looking for his next rush of adrenaline. However, when trouble comes a-knocking, the two suit back up for “one last ride.”

Yeah, it’s the same cliché story you’ve heard 1,000 times.

However, it looks like the days of over-the-top explosions might be behind them as Michael Bay did not return to direct the movie. Instead, an up-and-coming directing duo has taken the reigns. It still has yet to be seen whether or not the two will make or break themselves with “Bad Boys For Life.”

‘Rambo: Last Blood’ gets its first trailer

Rambo draws his bowstring one final time in the first trailer for ‘Rambo: Last Blood.’

Rambo trailerAt nearly 73-years-old, Sylvester Stallone  is showing no signs of retirement in this first trailer for “Rambo: Last Blood.” 

As the title suggests, this will be the last movie in the Rambo franchise.

The trailer looks like it takes place a few years after the events of 2008’s “Rambo.” At the end of that movie, Rambo returns home to the U.S. to reconnect with whatever family he has left.

At the beginning of this trailer, we see that Rambo is all alone, and is just trying to have as normal of a life as possible. However, after a group of bad guys force Rambo to relieve his checkered past, he must get back into action in order to get his revenge. 

Yes, that was the most cliché plot for an action movie ever.

This looks dumb, but also like dumb fun

Rambo bow

The Rambo franchise started off very seriously with “First Blood,” a film about a Vietnam veteran who comes home to find a country that has turned its back on him. However, the serious has gotten more and more silly with films that rely on over-the-top action.

WARNING: VIDEO IS NSFW

That said, over-the-top action can be a lot of fun, and this trailer hints that the movie might get that.

We’ll probably get to see Rambo blow up goons with his bow-and-arrow and lots of hack-and-slashing with his Bowie knife. Also, Rambo appears to have taken a lesson from Kevin McCallister from “Home Alone,” as he set a series of traps in his house to kill goons.

If Rambo’s traps are half as deadly as Kevin’s, these bad guys are in for a world of hurt.

We can’t help but talk about Stallone’s age. At 72, it really seems like he needs to leave action movies to the younger generation. If he does another “Rocky” movie, it will have to be about him fighting his nurse for his pain pills.

The trailer suggests that Rambo won’t be doing as much hand-to-hand combat as we have seen before. Hopefully, we will get traps and explosions like a “Saw” movie, and we won’t see Rambo try to emulate John Wick. 

Shut off your brain

Rambo machete

This movie probably isn’t going to give you a dramatic insight into the life of a veteran. If you want that, watch a movie like”Born on the Fourth of July” or “American Sniper.”

However, if you are looking for mindless action that will keep you entertained for about 90 minutes, this should keep you satisfied.

Tickets, please: Rotten Tomatoes wants to see proof of purchase before you review

Internet trolls beware, Rotten Tomatoes has your number!

Rotten Tomatoes score

Rotten Tomatoes now needs you to prove you bought a movie ticket before your review is reflected in the “Audience Score.”

The site also recently replaced the “Want to See” percentage with a “Want to See” tally for upcoming films. Basically, rather than a percentage score for whether or not audience members want to see a film, there is now more of a “like count” for whether or not users want to see a movie.

RT want to see

Combating review bombing

This is an effort to reduce the amount of users engaging in “review bombing.” Basically, users have been trolling the site and leaving harsh reviews for movies they haven’t seen. 

For example, before “Captain Marvel” hit theaters, users bombarded the film on Rotten Tomatoes with comments about their hatred for Brie Larson and the movie’s “agenda.”

Captain Marvel review bomb

The review bombing brought the “Want to See” score down to about 28%.

Verified ratings

All users can still leave a review for a film whether or not they have seen it. However, Rotten Tomatoes will be differentiating reviews based on whether or not users can provide a ticket stub from the movie.

Users who provide a ticket stub will be thrown into a “Verified Audience” tab on the review page. As stated before, only these scores will be reflected in the “Audience Score.”

Verified audience

Verifying your ticket

When submitting a review, there is a new box that asks you where you bought your ticket. From there, the site guides you through the verification process. 

Ticket verify

Fandango, AMC Theaters, Regal Cinemas, and Cinemark have all signed up for the verification process.

Will this make a difference?

Unless users can figure out how to trick Rotten Tomatoes into thinking they bought a ticket, this should be a significant change.

Only viewing reviews from people who actually saw the movie seems like common sense, so it’s a nice addition to the site. If an internet troll just wants to hate a movie for the sake of hating it, they will first have to pay that movie’s filmmakers. Most likely, these folks will just take to their blogs, and hate on the movie from there.

Sure, sometimes we can make a good judgment call on whether we want to see a movie before we see it. However, our judgments should be based on the film and not our own gripes.
