Still not sure I care about this one really. I’m also not sure what I need to have already watched in the Planet of the Apes movie franchise in order for this film to work (if anything). I think someone told me I only need to see the James Franco film, Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I’ve put it in my Netflix queue but I’m not all that excited about it.

This film seems to take place ten years after Rise:

A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but…

The Harry Potter spinoff Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will be released by Warner Bros. as a trilogy of “megamovies,” The New York Times reports in its profile on the studio’s CEO, Kevin Tsujihara. Based on the Hogwarts textbook written by Potter author J.K. Rowling, the new franchise is an extension of her extraordinarily realized wizarding world. The films will follow magizoologist Newt Scamander and start in New York approximately seven decades before Harry Potter’s own adventures.

What can Newt Scamander be getting up to that is going to take up three films? I call foul! They…

Well here’s one I haven’t heard of before. It looks pretty ludricous to me and I have no idea what the story motiviating it is and/or why I am interested. But here it is anyway.

It stars Richard Armitage, Sarah Wayne Callies, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Arlen Escarpeta, Nathan Kress, Jon Reep and Jeremy Sumpter.

I was not into the Turtles as a kid (insert gasps of shock and horror here) so it is really hard for me to have an informed opinion on this matter. I mean, I watched the animated show sometimes, and my best friend had the TMNT Nintendo game. But I just wasn’t into those crazy mutant turtles.

But a lot of people are. Those in my age group on down through their 20s or so tend to like those mutant amphibians, so obviously, a gritty movie reboot is called for. Knowing Michael Bay is involved does not help my opinion AT ALL, but at least he’s not directing so I’ll try to give it a chance.

Somehow I missed the first trailer for this film, but this second trailer looks quite amazing. Of course I thought there was a chance that the Wachowskis previous film, Cloud Atlas was going to be good too and it was instead quite terrible. But there is an entirely different vibe to this film. This one just feels like an epic, sci-fi adventure — and it looks like a doggone good one at that.

And you know what else is refreshing about this film? As far as I know it is not based on anything — it’s an original screen play. In a world filled with nothing but sequels and prequels that is such a…

In case the lastest trailer wasn’t enough for you, 20th Century Fox has more for you. In this TV spot, the “mutant roll call” is given, and all our old favorites are here, as well as some new faces.

Check it out:

I sure do love a good Tom Cruise Sci-Fi flick, and this appears to be one of the good ones — at least as far as I can tell thus far. It is not necessarily an original concept, but it looks to be well executed. And Emily Blunt is always a plus too.

The film arrives in theaters June 4.

Two things make the prospects of this film less than desirable to me.

1. I’m not a fan of Dwayne Johnson. To say he does not understand subtlty is an understatement.
2. Brett Ratner is not a good director.

But this movie is apparently a thing that is happening. I am not looking forward to it in the least.

Bryan Singer made the two best X-Men films hands down. That is not to say that I have not enjoyed some of the other installments in the X-Men movie universe, but there just isn’t any topping X2. That may be about to change of this trailer is any indication. Bryan Singer remains, in my book, one of the most underrated directors of all time. His Superman movie is my second favorite in that series. And Jack The Giant Slayer was great as well. So with him at the helm, and delivering such a great trailer, the excitement for this film is continuing to mount.

And it’s all going to come to a head on…
