Superbowl TV Spot for ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’

Superbowl TV Spot for ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’

Yes, more pre-Superbowl Superbowl trailers. You’ll for sure want to see this one though. This is for what we secretly or not so secretly want to be our favorite Marvel film ever, and maybe one of our all time favorites.

Don’t forget that one of the films that’s coming up after this is Captain America: Civil War, and I think Age of Ultron is going to lead right into that. It certainly looks like they’re headed fast in that general direction.

This film has only a few new shots and they’re quick moving so you have to look hard for them. In particular, I think there’s a few new shots of the…

Superbowl TV Spot for ‘Insurgent’

Superbowl TV Spot for ‘Insurgent’

While we’re trotting out the Superbowl trailers, here’s the trailer for the upcoming film, Insurgent. You know, I just didn’t hate the first film: Divergent. And yet, I feel like this film could go either way, and I’m not sure this trailer is doing anything for me. The first trailer didn’t really either for that matter. And we’re getting quite close to that March 20 release date.

Here’s to hoping they’ve got more to come than what they are showing us.

Superbowl TV Spot for ‘Terminator: Genisys’

Superbowl TV Spot for ‘Terminator: Genisys’

The general consensus seems to be that this film is going to be awful, the first trailer was awful, and this trailer is awful. I still don’t feel that way about the film. Granted, it may end up being awful. I’m perfectly willing to admit that. But I do think that for the time being, people are being a bit to hard on this upcoming film and its trailers. I’m actually still kind of liking the look of things to come. I’m certainly willing to give this film a chance.

As far as people complaining that the retconning of the timeline (again) is really confusing. No really. People are complaining…

TV Spots for ‘Jupiter Ascending’

TV Spots for ‘Jupiter Ascending’

Don’t forget that next week we’ll finally get to see the delayed Jupiter Ascending. This is one of those films that I really want to be good and expect it to be bad. I like the look of everything I’ve seen about the film so far. And don’t get me wrong when I say I expect it to be bad. I don’t have nearly as many red flags about this film as I did about Cloud Atlas. But there are a few red flags — chief among them being that the film was delayed until February by the studio. Why would they do that? February is not usually where studios shove their good films off to.

Still, I’m going to go to…

The ‘Fantastic Four’ Trailer — “With Every New Risk, There Are Consequences”

The ‘Fantastic Four’ Trailer — “With Every New Risk, There Are Consequences”

I was a fan of the 2005 installment in the Fantastic Four franchise. It was pretty good stuff in an age with comic book films were different than they are now. I was less a fan of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. It was a lousy follow-up to a great film and it essentially killed that version of the franchise. These things happen.

Now we have a reboot with out Steve Rogers Chris Evans. In fact, the only face I recognized in this reboot was Kate Mara’s as Sue Storm. Everyone else is new to me. That could be good or bad and it all depends.

For whatever it’s worth, Fox is the studio…

‘The Expanse’ Trailer — Upcoming 10 Episode TV Show on SyFy Channel

‘The Expanse’ Trailer — Upcoming 10 Episode TV Show on SyFy Channel

SyFy (the channel) has been making moves to bring back sci-fi (the genre) on their channel. I’m skeptical because I’ve been burned more than once by this channel. They had their genre in their stupid name for crying out loud and they blew it. Fool me once and all that.

But, I’m a sucker for good sci-fi, and this series looks like it has the possibility to be that.

As far as I can tell, there’s no exact release date. All that we have right now is that it’s coming some time this year.

‘Bosch’ — Amazon Studios’ Upcoming Crime Drama

‘Bosch’ — Amazon Studios’ Upcoming Crime Drama

These instant delivery content providers are really jumping into the game with both feet. I have to admit that their previous offering — the one that’s winning so many awards — Transparent, did not look at all appealing to me. Just not my thing.

I don’t know that a crime drama is really my thing either, but it looks much more appealing to me and I might give it a shot.

The show is set in Los Angeles and follows homicide detective Harry Bosch. His mother was a prostitute and was murdered when Harry was a boy. This of course has ramifications for the type of man he is as we see him in the…

‘iZombie’ Trailer — An Undead Veronica Mars?

‘iZombie’ Trailer — An Undead Veronica Mars?

There are some people who make stuff and you just don’t ask questions. The only work I have seen of Rob Thomas’ is the TV series and crowd funded film Veronica Mars, but I am so there. If he can create anything with even a little bit of the creativity and fun of Veronica Mars we should be good to go.

This particular creative Endeavour from Thomas looks pretty weird, and I am so looking forward to it. I don’t typically go for all the zombie stuff, but this looks like quite the fun and creative twist on the concept. It reminds me at least a little of what Joss Whedon did with the Vampire…

New ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ Trailer

New ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ Trailer

The first teaser trailer for The Avengers was pretty fantastic and we all knew it was going to be hard to top that. In addition, Disney/Marvel is a machine, cranking promotion out based on a sort of formula. The teaser gave us goose bumps. It was slow to start, giving us chilling dialog and the promise of a menacing villain, followed by some action — but nothing too over the top.

Trailer 2 here is pretty much all action and no menace. It’s fun and there are shots we haven’t seen yet, but this trailer is here to appeal to the people who come to the theater for the big bangs and loud booms. As…

‘House of Cards’ Season 3 Official Trailer

‘House of Cards’ Season 3 Official Trailer

Get ready for the most cinematic event on TV, that’s not even “on TV” (if you think TV is the broadcast stuff). Season 3 of House of Cards is only a little over one month away. The new season will debut on February 27, and if the first two seasons are any indication, all of season 3 will be available for streaming in it’s entirety on that day, causing hundreds of thousands of viewers around the U.S. to lose all of their sleep that night binge watching.

The line between TV and cinema has been, in some quarters, becoming blurred. Yes, there’s plenty of TV out there that is not cinematic in the…
