2009′s Zombieland, director Ruben Fleischer’s feature film debut, turned a lot of heads both critically and commercially by managing to be a fresh and engaging take on the well-worn horror comedy and zombie movie genres. Despite his follow-up feature, 30 Minutes or Less, also being classified as a comedy, Fleischer made the interesting choice to move completely away from the genre for his next project. Titled Gangster Squad, the movie is an adaptation of the Paul Lieberman literary serial, and stars Josh Brolin, Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling, Anthony Mackie, Nick Nolte, Giovanni Ribisi, Robert Patrick, and Emma Stone. A new trailer for the movie has now been released, and can be seen below.
There was once a time when I thought Scarface was the best movie ever made, and Home Improvement was appointment television for me. While I still have a soft spot for both, those days of naivete are long behind me, as I’ve subsequently managed to broaden my horizons. Ambition is the most important part of a movie for me; if it tries to do something unique, tell a well-worn story in a different way, or take on large themes in a honest manner, I can forgive many flaws. If there’s one movie fact I’ve learnt after all these years, it’s that Employee of The Month is to Office Space what fast food is to fresh fruit.
