‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Clip - “I Allow It” - Plus Thoughts and Opinions

‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Clip - “I Allow It” - Plus Thoughts and Opinions

First of all, another clip, this one showing of a confrontation between Chris Pine’s Kirk, and Benedict Cumberbatch’s John Harrison.

Harrison appears to be in the brig of the U.S.S. Enterprise, and if I were to guess, he’s using psychology and manipulation on Kirk. Somehow I just don’t believe a word he’s saying. Of course, it’s always possible that Cumberbatch isn’t the villain at all and that we’ve been mislead this whole time, but I do doubt that at this point.

You should know three things before we go on:

  1. The clip below contains possible spoilers. I’m okay with that because it…

Two More ‘Iron Man 3’ TV Spots

Two More ‘Iron Man 3’ TV Spots

Well it seems Marvel has a little bit more to show us before the film premieres here in the U.S. because there’s just a bit of new footage we haven’t yet seen in these spots.

The first spot is titled Soldiers, and the second is called Heroes, There is No Such Thing.

Is it May 3 yet?

‘RED 2’ - Trailer 2

‘RED 2’ - Trailer 2

Man oh man, this looks like a lot of fun!

This trailer unravels a little more of the plot for us, but let’s be honest, while the film would be nothing without a decent plot, it’s really as much about the old action star humor as anything. I loved the first film and I expect to love this one. If you were not a fan of the first film, I suspect you won’t like this one either.

This trailer also gives us a little bit better look at Anthony Hopkins and the character he is playing, who is apparently a mad scientist. Hopkins often plays is more serious roles but it looks like he’s having fun…

Tony Stark Has Heart to Heart with Pepper

Tony Stark Has Heart to Heart with Pepper

Iron Man 3 opens this weekend and we’re all looking forward to it a lot. So let’s open up the week with this clip of Tony Stark having a heart to heart conversation with Pepper Potts.

It’s this sort of thing that makes me think this film is possibly going to be the best Iron Man film yet. This clip does not feature Stark flying around fighting baddies or other crazy action at all. It’s just dialog, and it’s good stuff. This is to me what makes a film good.

Take a look.

Writing Star Wars

Writing Star Wars

Funny or Die has this pretty awesome video depicting what it must or might be like for Michael Arndt to try to write something good for Star Wars. I certainly don’t envy him, he’s got a tough act to follow — the original three are hailed as great, the three prequels are hailed as absolute garbage, and his job is to make something that will please and appease everyone.

Yeah… good luck with that.

 

‘Monsters University’ Trailer 3

‘Monsters University’ Trailer 3

So since Pixar’s thing lately seems to be sequels, we might as well get comfy and enjoy them. Some of their best work has been in their sequels (Toy Story 3, anyone?).

While I do wish they would turn out some good original content, I’ll make myself happy with the likes of Monsters University. It’s looking pretty fun and funny if nothing else.

I’m looking forward to seeing it on June 21!

Joss Whedon Talks ‘Avengers 2’ and ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’

Joss Whedon Talks ‘Avengers 2’ and ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’

The guy is chatty! I like this! I mean, when is the last time you saw Christopher Nolan in an interview like this being so cool and nice? Don’t get my wrong, I love some Dark Knight franchise from Nolan, but this is way more fun.

So in this fun little thing, Yahoo! Movies had the opportunity to ask Joss a few questions, chat it up a little, find out about The Avengers 2, the status of the S.H.I.E.L.D. TV show, oh and also, he loved Iron Man 3 and thought Shane Black did a phenomenal job, which gives me great confidence that Iron Man 3 is going to be awesome because I trust Joss’ creative…

Character Profile, Captain Kirk

Character Profile, Captain Kirk

Paramount has a character profile of Captain Kirk for us to feast our eyes upon while way wait (impatiently) for the film to come out.

Kirk is obviously going to have some major things going on in this film, some attitude problems he needs to deal with — he needs to learn how to be the captain that we used to know in the original series. So JJ Abrams and Chris Pine talk us through that struggle a little bit. Plus, film footage, behind the scenes, etc. Check it out.

‘Man of Steel’ and ‘Justice League’ Rumors/Info

‘Man of Steel’ and ‘Justice League’ Rumors/Info
Kevin Jagernauth - The Playlist

Empire recently profiled the upcoming superhero film, and within the pages is a very interesting tidbit indicating that Snyder may not be done with dudes in tights: “Whether we get a ‘Justice League,’ [Warner Bros] say, depends on ‘Man of Steel.’ If we do, they say, Zack Snyder will be asked to direct.”

Of course, this revelation opens up a Pandora’s box of questions ranging from potential ‘Steel’ sequels to Marvel-esque world building, and Snyder teases at both. “We didn’t design the movie like Batman, but I don’t think anybody would say that you design a Superman movie as a one-off,”…

John Harrison Video Messages (‘Star Trek Into Darkness’)

John Harrison Video Messages (‘Star Trek Into Darkness’)

So John Harrison has been keeping busy sending out visual message (from the future in which the Star Trek alternate universe takes place to our present no less).

First, a few days ago he released one about Captain Kirk, detailing his weaknesses and how he would make sure Kirk’s mistakes would get the entire crew killed.

Then yesterday, he released one about Spock, the emotions he struggled with that might threaten to be his undoing.

See the videos below.
