This whole “waiting almost six months for Age of Ultron to come out” thing may get a little tedious if Marvel keeps teasing us like this. They have released an extended teaser trailer for Age of Ultron. The tone of it is the same as the first, and indeed, much of the footage, the clips, even the Ultron voice over is the same. The music is the same. But there are subtle differences throughout — new clips and footage we haven’t seen yet, and most importantly, more extended dialog from Ultron at the beginning of the trailer.

I don’t know how I’m going to survive the wait. Check it out…

Insurgent is on its way to us. The critics were fairly hard on Divergent, but I didn’t think it was so bad. It was slightly formulaic at times, but it was a solid film, quite entertaining, and despite some YA formula adherence, it had a couple of surprises up its sleeve. Ultimately I gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars.

The film also made a fair amount of cash. Nothing crazy, but it did well on a budget to gross ratio. Ultimately it brought in $288.7 Million on a budget of $85 Million. That’s not terrible, although I’m sure the producers are hoping they can up their game on that a little with…

“Yes, next year,” Damon responded to E! News when asked for clarification. “It’ll be in 2016 when the movie will actually come out. [Director] Paul Greengrass is going to do another one and that’s all I ever said. I just needed him to say yes.”

The plans that have been bandied about were that Damon and Greengrass would do this fifth Bourne film to release sometime in 2016, followed at some point by another Jeremy Renner led spinnoff. Those were unconfirmed reports at least until now. So the Damon and Greengrass part is true at least. I really hope they just drop the whole Aaron…

During their earnings call with investors this afternoon, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced “Toy Story 4” will arrive on June 16th, 2017. But perhaps more intriguing is that John Lasseter—now chief creative officer at Pixar,Walt Disney Animation Studios, and DisneyToon Studios (as well asWalt Disney Imagineering)—is going to direct. It will be his first movie since 2011’s “Cars 2,” and will mark a return the franchise after helming “Toy Story” and “Toy Story 2” (Lee Unkrich, who served in various capacities on the earlier “Toy Story” movies, directed “Toy Story 3;” he’s currently at work on the…

Peter Jackson is a great example of a talented filmmaker given to much excess who needs to be reigned in. But right now, he’s king of the hill and he can do whatever the heck he wants. And so he is. One book has become three films — and who knows where on earth this final film is going. Strange places, that’s for sure.

The first two installments of this trilogy have had wildly inconsistent visual styling and CGI work, and if this trailer is any indication, the trend of shoddy CGI, overly clean and high flash value but little substance visuals will continue. It’s quite disappointing, really.…

I haven’t paid too much attention to this yet, but it’s going to be coming out in less than two months so I suppose I should start. To be honest, it looks maybe a tad boring? I don’t know. You know how sometimes something catches your interest, and other times… well, not. This is more in the not category for me.

Still, I want to see the film for the cast alone. I mean, Johnny Depp, Emily Blunt, Anna Kendrick, and Chris Pine? Sign me up, even if I have not yet been captured by any of the marketing.

There is the other thing though, it’s a musical, and I have little patience for most musicals…

Star Wars: Episode VII” officially has a title.

Disney revealed the news this afternoon and the highly-anticipate movie, set for release on on December 18, 2015, will be called “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

That’s fine, I guess. I don’t know, it isn’t quite what I was hoping for. Consider the strongest two titles in the franchise, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. The Force Awakens feels a little lame next two those two titles. But hopefully the movie won’t be.

My other quibble is that the logo looks wrong somehow. Too clean. Have a look at the logo for The Empire Strikes…

I was more excited for this film before I saw this trailer, unfortunately. I thought the previous trailers for this film had heart and were funny and charming. This trailer appears to have none of those elements. I’ll still probably see the film though and just hope whoever put this trailer together is just stupid or something.

Hey look, it’s a cash grab! Despicable Me did very well for itself, putting $543 Million in the bank from it’s worldwide gross. Despicable Me 2 blew the doors off the vault and overflowed the coffers something fierce at $970.7 million worldwide gross. It’s no surprise that the studios involved are very interested in continuing to bring in revenue from this particular stream.

A lot of people think the Minions are the best part of Despicable Me. I’m not quite in that camp. Sure they’re both funny and fun, but I don’t want an entire movie based just on them. But that’s what we are going to get.…
