“Critics across the Internet have at least seen some of the commercials for Muppets Most Wanted,”

Hahahahaha, I’m absolutely loving the marketing campaign for Muppets Most Wanted. That’s the first line for the Game Day Extended spot — said completely dead pan by the deep voiced trailer narrator. It couldn’t be more perfect for a Muppets movie! I love a good marketing campaign and I think this may actually get me into Muppets. I’ve got a couple of the movies in my Netflix queue so I can get caught up.

Chad tells me that he looks forward to reading any of my Spider-Man related articles just so he can see if I’ve found new and creative ways to express my hatred of the new series. I’ll try not to disappoint.

In this latest round of trailers, this new Spider-Man series continues to feel like a parody of a good Spider-Man series. We had a decent Spider-Man series with Tobey Maguire, but this Andrew Garfield Spider-Man just feels completely off. Some have lauded it as being closer to the feel of the comics, but I think we have proven over the years that a straight adaptation from comic book to…

There’s no case too big, no case too small. When you need help just call: Ch-ch-ch Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers!

The Disney Afternoon classic animated series is headed to the big screen in a film being described as an “origin story” for the popular crime-fighting critters. Much like “Alvin and the Chipmunks” and the recent “Smurfs” movies, the upcoming “Rescue Rangers” movie will feature CG characters in a live action world, not 2D animation like the old cartoon.

I remember watching this as a kid though I don’t remember a whole lot about it so maybe I’m not qualified to give my opinioin…

And now for something much less heavy.

Marvel has released trailer 2 for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and it’s looking mighty good. This is one of the films I’m looking forward to most this year. And man, what a tease on that flash of scene where we see someone apparently dead under a sheet. Who will it be, Director Fury? Who knows, your guess is as good as mine at this point.

But I can tell you that on April 4th, I’ll be seated in the theater watching me some Captain America. His first movie was my favorite before The Avengers in Phase 1, I’m hoping not to be disappointed this time…

Warner Bros. Pictures has cast Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons will play Alfred in the upcoming Superman-Batman film.

The castings, announced Friday, come two weeks after Warner pushed production on the untitled “Superman-Batman” movie to the second quarter of this year and set a release date of May 6, 2016 as the studio departed from a July, 2015 slot.

Huh. I don’t even… wait, what?!?

File this under, did not see this coming. But same with Affleck I guess. And again with Gal Gadot. Let’s just file this movie under, “least expected casting,” shall we?

After getting over…

Well, Man of Steel may have turned out to be one of the more terrible films I’ve ever seen in my life, but it had some doggone good trailers.  So I’m not sorry that The Lego Movie has given their latest trailer the Man of Steel trailer treatment. This is completely with Hans Zimmer’s triumphant soundtrack and everything.

I can’t wait to see this movie. It opens on February 7^th.

I’ve gotta say this is pretty good marketing despite the fact that I am not at all looking forward to this film. Not in the slightest. But releasing part one of a two part trailer, the second part which airs during the Superbowl seems like pretty great thinking.

Unfortunately nothing in this trailer makes me change my mind at all. Check it out:

So I hate sports, I hate watching it, and most of all, I hate football. I know how unAmerican that is of me and I don’t care.

But, one thing cool that does happen during the Superbowl is we get a lot of spots and trailers for upcoming films. And a lot of them can be good and creative. I don’t know that this one is very creative, but it seems pretty good. While I’m still figuring on this movie being both bad and sacrilegious, I have a tiny shred of hope for it. So I’ll continue to wait tentatively.

It is interesting, this interest in Christian themed films of late. I don’t quite know what to…

“But hey, if she’s gonna run off with another man, why not Jesus?”

What. Did. I. Just. Watch? Oh my goodness this is so bad — SO BAD! Please tell me this is some sort of alternate reality. What is it about any Christian themed film that tends to be so cheesy? Forget the fact that the premise of this work by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins is just so fatally flawed in terms of theology, I mean I can’t get past how terrible this clip is. Absolutely awful. And the music… geez…
