‘Amazing Spider-Man 2’ — Electro!

‘Amazing Spider-Man 2’ — Electro!

You all already know how I can’t wait to not see this film, but, well, you know, it’s my duty to share this with you I suppose.

This is a trailer for a panel from San Diego Comic Con, but it’s the first look we’ve gotten at Jamie Foxx as Electro. It seems that whatever the deal is, and whatever is going on here, he can “feel it in his veins” or something. Man, can I not wait to not see this second installment in the reboot of the Spider-Man franchise. Ugh.

But for you nu-Spidey lovers (crazy though you may be), here you are.

‘The Fifth Estate’ Trailer Featuring Benedict Cumberbatch

‘The Fifth Estate’ Trailer Featuring Benedict Cumberbatch

Is he a hero or a traitor? Is he a threat to national security? This upcoming film is Based on the books Inside WikiLeaks: My Time With Julian Assange At The World’s Most Dangerous Website (by former Assange ally Daniel Domscheit-Berg) and WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange’s War On Secrecy (by David Leigh and Luke Harding). It stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Assange.

I think I’d like to see this.

Triggering our age of high-stakes secrecy, explosive news leaks and the trafficking of classified information, WikiLeaks forever changed the game. Now, in a dramatic thriller based on real…

‘How To Train Your Dragon 2’ Teaser

‘How To Train Your Dragon 2’ Teaser

I never saw the first one but apparently people liked it and it did well at the box office and all that jaz so they’re making a couple more. So since I don’t really know anything about it, I’ll just quote the official synopsis and embed the teaser below:

The thrilling second chapter of the epic How To Train Your Dragon trilogy brings back the fantastical world of Hiccup and Toothless five years later. While Astrid, Snoutlout and the rest of the gang are challenging each other to dragon races (the island’s new favorite contact sport), the now inseparable pair journey through the skies,…

New ‘Planes’ Trailer

New ‘Planes’ Trailer

Hey, guess what, I’m still not super interested or excited about this film. I’m not sure what the story is, it seems to lack cohesion. The only thing the trailer showcases is the humor. There does not seem to be any heart or story in this trailer. It’s just not adding up for me. I sure hope I’m wrong but something sure seems like it’s missing here.

‘Pacific Rim’ Clip: Anchorage 2020

‘Pacific Rim’ Clip: Anchorage 2020

If you want to see one last little bit of the promotionaly campaign before you head off to the theaters tonight, here is a clip from the film and a trailer of sorts tacked on to the end.

You should be warned though that this could be a mild spoiler. You can get a little sense of where the plot is headed from this clip.

You have been warned.

‘Out of the Furnace’ Trailer - Christian Bale, Zoe Saldana

‘Out of the Furnace’ Trailer - Christian Bale, Zoe Saldana

This film certainly has a few names behind it: Christian Bale, Zoe Saldana, Woody Harrelson, Willem Dafoe on the acting side, Ridley Scott and Leonardo DiCaprio on the producing side. And yet the film’s trailer has a very indy feel to it. I’m not quite sure what to make of it. Additionally, as the action in the trailer ramps up, the music stays sort of light and in a pop-rock happy, easy sort of feel. It’s a little odd, and makes me feel like it may not be the type of film I would like.

When Rodney Baze mysteriously disappears and law enforcement fails to follow through, his older…

‘Saving Mr. Banks’ Trailer - Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson

‘Saving Mr. Banks’ Trailer - Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson

Who doesn’t know that Mary Poppins is a magical singing nanny who uses a bunch of made up words and cheers up children and unites them to their father? Of course we all know because of the beloved 1964 film titled just that, Mary Poppins. I must have watched the film 100 times growing up, though I haven’t seen it in years (and I can still hear Dick Van Dyke singing Chim Chim-in-ey whenever I hear the name Mary Poppins).

Well, apparently there’s a backstory on how this film came to the screen, and if the trailer and story is to be believed, P.L. Travers took some convincing to let Walt…

‘Wolverine’ Interrupts a Funeral

‘Wolverine’ Interrupts a Funeral

So, in the last clip I posted from the upcoming The Wolverine, I mentioned I didn’t like it and it was a bad sign for the film because the action was not followable and the it was all just shaky cam bad choreography non-sense. Maybe I judged a little too harshly in thinking that the whole film would be like that because I liked the action in this clip far better. This action was well choreographed and much easier to follow.

Of course the real question I have right now: is there a good story here? Obviously the clips and trailers are focusing pretty heavy on the action, but just action…

Newest ‘Pacific Rim’ Trailer

Newest ‘Pacific Rim’ Trailer

 A lot of reordered stuff, and some new scenes we haven’t yet seen. A lot of boom and bang, a lot of monsters, and a lot of high stakes. Also, GLaDOS is still present! Does that mean that her voice will be just like that in the final film? It’s still kind of strange to me that such a menacing computer voice from one universe will be a neutral (presumably) computer voice in this one.

Well in any event, in just a few days, we’ll get a chance to see for ourselves whether this film is any good, because Pacific Rim comes out on July 12.

Riddick TV Spot Featuring Vin Diesel

Riddick TV Spot Featuring Vin Diesel

Fast And Furious 6 is probably going to be Vin Diesel’s most successful film this year, but that’s not keeping him from staring in another one as well this year. Riddick is a sequel to The Chronicles of Riddick and I’m told that my film knowledge and education is sadly lacking in that I have not seen the first film, so I promise to remedy the situation.

I have to say the concept looks right down my alley, even if it looks like the execution is more about action than story.

Here’s the synopsis, followed by the TV Spot.

The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched…
