‘Agents of SHIELD’ Episode 7 ‘The Hub’ Trailer

‘Agents of SHIELD’ Episode 7 ‘The Hub’ Trailer

I know we’re all about movies and stuff here at MovieByte, but I’m really enjoying Agents of SHIELD. And while this trailer for next week’s epside doesn’t tell us much, it’s always fun to try to dicipher some little tidbit or other.

I don’t know what’s up with the trailer playing twice in this YouTube version, but check it out:

New 3-Minute Trailer for ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’

New 3-Minute Trailer for ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’

This is quite obviously the best trailer we have seen for this film so far. In fact, I would say it’s the best trailer we’ve seen in The Hobbit series thus far. It almost makes me look forward to this film — almost.

As you all will know, I’m of two minds about this. The geek/nerd (or whatever) in me is looking forward to this film because I can’t help it. On the other hand, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the first film in this franchise of 3 based off one book, was a bloated and tangled mess with way too much fat that needed trimming for my taste.

Still, Peter Jackson cuts together a…

‘Catching Fire’ TV Spot Set to Christina Aguilera Song

‘Catching Fire’ TV Spot Set to Christina Aguilera Song

So, if Christina Aguilera is your thing, I suppose you’ll enjoy this trailer. If she’s not, well, you’ll probably still enjoy the trailer — unless you don’t like The Hunger Games. In which case, you probably did not click through to this article and you probably aren’t reading and/or watching anyway.

We’re getting might close to the release of this second installment now and I’m ready, I’m excited. I’m somewhat worried given some of the things that I’ve heard about the film recently, but I’m still hopeful. I loved the first film, and I’m hoping to like this one as well.

‘The Lego Movie’ — Trailer 2

‘The Lego Movie’ — Trailer 2

I have to admit, I wasn’t sold on this movie at first. But I’m starting to get into the mood for it. Now who knows, maybe they’ve put all the jokes in the trailer and this will be a dud, but it looks to be a completely hillarious and fun movie. Now if they can find just enough seriousness to pull off a decent plot everything will be good!

Check out the trailer, it’s a lot of fun. The Lego Movie will be in theaters on Februrary 14, 2014.

‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ Trailer 2

‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ Trailer 2

I must make a confession: I have only seen one Martin Scorsese film — I absolutely loved it. That would be the Robert De Niro and Ray Liotta staring Goodfellas. Having loved that film so much, it seems a crime to me that I have not been exposed to more of his film. I therefore fully intend to see this film even though the trailers have not gotten me super pumped just yet. I’m actually not sure what I would have thought about a Goodfellas trailer before I had seen the film but I’m guessing about the same way I feel about The Wolf of Wall Street at this point: meh. So I’m willing to give this…

‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ Trailer

‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ Trailer

Oh man, oh man, oh man! This is going to be soooooo good. I can already see I’m glad to have Bryan Singer back at the helm. This trailer has the tone that made his first two X-Men films so good. Of course as expected from the title, this film is about the mingling and crossing over of the past and the future. And probably about setting some things right that Brett Ratner screwed up.

But this… this is going to be epic you guys! I can’t wait. May 23rd, 2014 can’t come soon enough!

‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ Final Trailer

‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ Final Trailer

“Miss Everdeen, would you like to be in a real war?” President Snow wants to know. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire comes out in just 24 days. Given that short period of time, the studio has seen fit to release to us the final trailer.

This one is going to be a good one, guys. This trailer is only a minute, but it’s got me ready to get myself to the theater and watch. Of course I’ll have to wait until November 22. Have a look:

First Trailer for ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’

First Trailer for ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’

Wow, so this is an entirely different flavor than the first film. I don’t know how I feel about that yet because I really liked the first Captain America film. And I’ve heard things about the direction this film is taking that have me somewhat concerned.

Still, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has done an outstanding job so far so I guess I’ll try not to be too worried. And some things about this trailer look really good, for sure.

Here’s the official synopsis followed by the trailer.

After the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers, Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”…

‘The Book Thief’ International Trailer

‘The Book Thief’ International Trailer

As we move into Oscar season, we’re finally seeing something good in the theaters. The Book Thief is certainly in the “looking good” category. I want to see this film a lot! This film is based on the novel by Marcus Zusak and stars Geoffrey Rush, Emily Watson and relative newcomer Sophie Nélisse as Liesel Meminger — and if the trailers are any indication she looks like she’ll be fantastic.

Make no mistake, while this film can certainly be classified as a WWII film given the subject matter, this does not look like your ordinary fare. And we’ll be able to see for ourselves soon enough as the…

2 More Clips for ‘Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom’

2 More Clips for ‘Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom’

It has been a fact of history that white men have oppressed the black people. It is a sad fact, but it is a fact none-the-less and is therefore worth talking about, worth making films about, worth bringing attention to. That doesn’t mean a bad film on the subject will get a pass from me, but this one looks like one of the good ones from what I can tell. Particularly good I think will be Idris Elba. If you don’t believe me, be sure to check out his speech in the second clip because it’s a fine bit of acting.

The film opens on November 29th.
