As a fan of The Hunger Games book series, one of the films I am most looking forward to this year is Francis Lawrence’s The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Returning of course are Jennifer Lawrence as Katnis Everdeen and Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark. And we’ll also be introduced to several new cast members, Sam Claflin as Finnick, Lynn Cohen as Mags, Jena Malone as Johanna, Amanda Plummer as Wiress, and Jeffrey Wright as Beetee. If you are familiar with the books, you will recognize these characters. They don’t get much screen time in the trailer, unfortunately, but I would assume we’ll see…

So, my wife may be the Shakespeare nut in my household, but I have to say I’m looking forward to seeing this one. This thing looks massive, and indeed, it runs over 500 minutes. It’s a BBC series adapted from four Shakespeare plays, Richard II, Henry IV, parts 1 and 2, and Henry V. And it has some pretty big names in it too. Sam Mendes is the producer behind the project, and it stars Tom hiddleston, Patrick Stewart, Jeremy Irons, and Ben Wishaw in primary roles.

The word Epic may be extremely overused these days, but I think the word can be pretty fairly applied to this one.

This being a…

Ridley Scott seems to be somewhat legendary, and he did make the likes of Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, and Robin Hood to name a couple. That is why I’m interested in this film, although it does look pretty heavy and intense, and I’m not yet quite sure what it’s about exactly. But I’ll be keeping my eye on it.

The film stars Michael Fassbender, Javier Bardem, Brad Pitt, Penelope Cruz, and Cameron Diaz, and it will hit theaters on October 25^th.

Definitely put me down in the interested camp for this film. It’s based on a true story, and it looks like Tom Hanks does a marvelous job!

Of course this trailer defnitely ups the action and the craziness a little bit, but it’s still looks like a film that’s low on CGI and much higher on story.

It opens in theaters on October 11^th. Can’t wait to see it!

Okay, so, raise your hand if you think this looks really weird…

*raises hand*

Surely I can’t be the only one. I guess you could say the film is set in the future and is about a man that falls in love with his artificial intelligence OS. But I can’t even begin to describe it so you should just watch it. The film stars Joaquin Phoenix, Chris Pratt, Amy Adams, Rooney Mara, Olivia Wilde and (the voice of) Scarlett Johansson.

It looks like Clary Fray (Lily Collins) is in for a rude awakening about the world around her in this 5 minute clip of a kitchen brawel with a demon from the upcoming The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. I’m hoping this film is going to be good. The action is certainly intense, and it’s looking like they are doing some human drama and relationship building so I have somewhat high hopes for this film.

We’ll get to see it on August 21^st.

So it seems like Loki is going to play a pretty big part in this film. And Jane’s life is still in question, but Thor promises he’s going to find a way to save us all!

I didn’t think the first Thor film was that great, but I’m really looking forward to this one, it looks like it should be excellent. This will be the second installment in the Marvel, Phase Two story (the first was Iron Man 3) and it’s all leading up, of course, to The Avengers: The Age of Ultron, which I couldn’t be more excited about. This is a good time for Marvel!

Thor: The Dark World makes it’s debut on October 30th in…

So, this Kruger guy looks a little nuts, right? He sure sounds strange, what kind of accent is that anyway.

I will say if you are avoiding spoilers, I think these clips and featurettes cross the line and you probably don’t want to watch them. I just don’t trust studios to keep spoilers out of our hands these days.

You know, I’m trying not to turn into the grumpy old man who always hates all the new everythings, but I just don’t get this whole Muppets thing. I mean I watched The Muppets when I was a kid (and more importantly, I watched Muppet Babies — yeah, yeah, I know… but there is this gem! [pro-tip: watch all three parts), but I don’t see the appeal of the feature film thing. I guess technically there have been lots of feature films, I’m just more familiar with the TV incarnations, but whatever, don’t confuse me with facts!

In any event, we’re about to get a new Muppet movie and I’ve got a trailer…
