Honest Trailer — ‘Captain America: The First Avengers’

Honest Trailer — ‘Captain America: The First Avengers’

As far as Honest Trailers go, this one is middling. There are good ones and bad ones. And then there are middling ones. What I mean is they’ve done far better, but they’ve also done far worse. This has a couple of little laughs in it. But it feels like they mostly just played up everyone’s talking points about Captain America: The First Avenger and my problem with that is most of those stupid talking points aren’t true. Captain America was a great film.

But, that’s not really the point. So check out the trailer.

‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ Trailer 2

‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ Trailer 2

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…

‘Noah’ Featurette

‘Noah’ Featurette

I’m still concerned about this film from a Biblical perspective as a Christian, but I really like what I’m seeing in this featurette. Sure they’re going to be inserting drama and reading things into the story that may or may not have happened, but what can you expect. And to a certain extent, some of that is fine.

However, I am concerned also on the level that the makers of this film are pretty much all atheists as far as I know. Why should I trust atheists to make a film about a Biblical story? But time will tell. In the meantime, check out this cool featurette about the ark itself.

The Muppets Audition For the Part of Yoda

The Muppets Audition For the Part of Yoda

This is so great. This appears to be from 1999 when a series of interstitials were run on the Odessy Channel and this would be one of those. With the new Muppet film coming out this weekend, it seemed appropriate to post today.

Make sure to catch all the in jokes about voice and appearance and whatnot. Have fun!

Peter Parker Does Webdesign in The Final ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Trailer

Peter Parker Does Webdesign in The Final ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Trailer

As I have discussed before at length, I am simply the wrong audience for this film. And this trailer did not help me get excited about it. But if the last film was your thing, and you’ve been enjoying the trailers up until this point, you’re surely going to love this. For my part, it just feels like they put all the Spider-Man elements from the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man films into a bag, shook it up, and pulled a few out for this film.

Eh, whatever. It’s a trailer, and you might want to watch it.

You’ll be able to see the film in theaters on May 2nd.

New ‘Godzilla’ Trailer

New ‘Godzilla’ Trailer

I’ve never seen any incarnation of Godzilla, but from what I can tell, they have previously all been cheesy, at the very least in the looks and visual effects department. If this trailer is to be believed that is about to change. I think the technology has advanced sufficiently to let us make a good Godzilla film.

Look forward to this film on May 16.

‘Maleficent’ Trailer 3 — Here There Be Dragons

‘Maleficent’ Trailer 3 — Here There Be Dragons

If you were waiting for a little bit more DRAGON to spice up your Maleficent trailers, well wait no longer. Your time has arrived! In this awesome new trailer for the film staring Disney’s most evil villain, the scaly beast takes wing and breathes a little fire for us.

We’re all familiar with the classic tale, but this film is looking to put a bit difference spin on things. Making its appearance again is the classic tune, Once Upon a Dream, but with that haunting and hollow feel to it. But in this trailer we get much, much more. I’m not sure where there going with this but I’m certainly…

‘Peanuts’ Teaser Trailer

‘Peanuts’ Teaser Trailer

I suppose by some measures of time, it was long overdue for someone to take advantage of this franchise. I can’t say I’m particularly excited about the money machines getting ahold of this one, but I have to say the teaser trailer does definitely get me excited about this film.

I wasn’t, and I’m still not too sure about the idea of a CGI 3D animation of The Peanuts, but I suppose I’ll give it a chance. I mean, IT’S SNOOPY! Look at him! And Good Grief Charlie Brown!

Kermit Tries to Break Out Of Prison — ‘Muppets Most Wanted’ Clip

Kermit Tries to Break Out Of Prison — ‘Muppets Most Wanted’ Clip

I’ve finally seen The Muppets (2011), and it was pretty good. So I’m looking forward all the more to Muppets Most Wanted. There’s not a seriously serious thing about any of The Muppets shows or films and maybe that’s what I like about it — getting away from the seriousness.

In any event, this clip shows us exactly what kind of humor and fun we can expect from Muppets Most Wanted and it looks like a hoot.

‘Captain America 2’ Clip — ‘Here to Ask a Favor’

‘Captain America 2’ Clip — ‘Here to Ask a Favor’

Apparently it takes a hijacking or possibly nuclear war to get Nick Fury to visit the big boss upstairs (at least I assume he’s the big boss or something). But whatever. This clip isn’t all that juicy, but… Nick Fury! Who doesn’t love Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury?
