First Trailer for ‘Terminator Genisys’ Starring Arnold Schwarenegger, Emilia Clarke, & Jai Courtney

First Trailer for ‘Terminator Genisys’ Starring Arnold Schwarenegger, Emilia Clarke, & Jai Courtney

Remember when Arnold said, “I’ll be back” in that first Terminator film? Well, he wasn’t joking, because he’s back. Again. And he looks old. Apparently, that’s okay though because the T-800 model terminator’s outside organic body ages just like a human’s would.

So, everyone has been sort of hating on this trailer. I actually kind of like it. Granted I have no special affection for this franchise. I was (understandably) not allowed to watch it when a kid, and only this year have I been getting aquainted with the series. There are some things to like and some things I don’t care for. And I’m…

Honest Trailer: ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’

Honest Trailer: ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’

Well, they did it again. No, it’s not their best trailer ever, but as usual it’s a lot of fun and makes a lot of uncomfortably good points. I still love the film a lot, but doggone, it’s easy to make fun of.

Be warned if this sort of thing offends you, there’s a crude reference to the male anatomy at the end.

‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’ TV Trailer

‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’ TV Trailer

Many are calling this latest trailer for Exodus: Gods and Kings “epic.” While I understand what they mean, I have to say that this trailer would not get my attention like the last one did. This trailer seesm to focus on the action and the heart pounding. The previous theatrical trailer has much more balance and nuance and things that I was interested in. But that’s not what’s going to seel people on this film, and Ridley Scott and the rest of the team know that. So they’ve given us this trailer.

The film opens in theaters on December 12.

‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ International Trailer

‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ International Trailer

Well now, while I’m still looking forward to this film, this trailer just isn’t half as good as any of the previous trailers. I sure hope the film is better than this latest trailer suggests.

It is directed by Matthew Vaughn, who has done some quite good work prior to this. And the film stars Colin Firth, Samuel L. Jackson, and Michael Caine, so I still think it’s going to be good.

In theaters on February 13.

French Trailer for ‘Jupiter Ascending’

French Trailer for ‘Jupiter Ascending’

I do not speak French so I have no idea what any of the onscreen text in this trailer is saying. Nevertheless, I enjoyed getting a look at some things we haven’t seen for this film before.

I continue to hold out at least a little bit of hope that I will like this film despite a lot of warning signs and red flags.

The film comes to theaters on February 6, 2015.

‘Pan’ Teaser Trailer

‘Pan’ Teaser Trailer

There are a lot of things I’m unsure of. For instance, I’m not sure what attracted Hugh Jackman to this project. I’m not sure why Rooney Mara was cast as Tiger Lily — a native American Indian whom Rooney Mara could not be further from, ethnically. I’m not sure why James Hook appears to be a good guy in this film. A tragic story about a man gone bad?

I am, admittedly, somewhat intrigued by Hugh Jackman playing Blackbeard, but that may be the only thing here I’m interested in. I literally don’t care about anything else going on in this film. But, on the off chance that any of you do, here’s…

‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Alternate Trailers

‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Alternate Trailers

I’ve got a little bit of Monday morning fun here for you. The first teaser trailer for The Force Awakens hasn’t been out that long, but we’ve already got some alternate fan and/or hate cuts going on that I’d like to share with you.

First up, it appears George Lucas has already gotten his grubby hands on the new film and plans to release the George Lucas Special Edition replete with banthas, a whole lot more storm troopers on Tatooine, Jango Fett clones, Jaba the Hut, force ghost Hayden Christensen Anakin force ghost, crazy amounts of Tie Fighters ganging up on the Falcon, and of course,…

Batman Vs Darth Vader

Batman Vs Darth Vader

This is completely cheesy and corny, and I completely loved it… except for the end maybe. I’m not convinced that was the correct outcome, and it seemed a little too easy.

I’m also not sure what the point was, and I’m also not sure I care. The production quality is actually pretty incredible. And Jon-Charles Cordery did a pretty impressive Darth Vader voice.

The ‘Star Wars VII’ Teaser Trailer is HERE!!!!

The ‘Star Wars VII’ Teaser Trailer is HERE!!!!

Here it is guys, the Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser trailer we’ve been waiting all week for. I had a little bit of a fit when I first thought it would only show in NINE THEATERS across the U.S. and nowhere else. Then they opened up the kimono a little and revealed it would be in quite a few more theaters than that, including a theater I generally like to go to in Franklin (though I probably would have driven 50 or 60 miles to some theaters somewhere in or around Nashville to see this teaser). But I had nothing to fear because it’s on iTunes Trailers, and on YouTube.

I’ll have some…
