‘Man of Steel’ TV Spot 3

‘Man of Steel’ TV Spot 3

So perhaps you were going to skip over this one because TV spots are often little more than a remix of parts of the theatrical trailers we have already seen. Well, Man of Steel is breaking more rules than just the color of Perry White’s skin apparently because this new TV spot breaks the remix rule too. There’s all sorts of images and film we haven’t yet seen. You will definitely want to check this out.

First of all, we see what looks to me like General Zod’s space landing on what I am assuming is earth. Then a couple shots later it looks like that same space ship is firing some sort of…

Collected ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Goodies

Collected ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Goodies

I have all sorts of fun Star Trek goodness collected over the weekend and Monday that I was not able to get up yesterday. So here it all is. I’ll just back the truck up to the dock and unload it all here.

One thing is for certain, they’re really cranking out the material and promoting this film like nobody’s business. I don’t remember any Star Trek movie ever getting this kind of promotion. Granted now that I’m running MovieByte I’m paying a little more attention, but I think we can safely say that the amount of promotion going into this exceeds anything we’ve see for Trek before.

First…

Yet Another ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ TV Spot: ‘Run’

Yet Another ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ TV Spot: ‘Run’

I’m telling you what, if clips, trailers, and footage we have not yet seen keeps rolling out at this rate, I will have seen the entire film by the time May 17 gets here. Seriously, I can’t remember the last time so much stuff has come out in advance of a film.

Most of this stuff we’ve seen before, but there are a couple of new shots, particularly a really good view of the smoking starship (presumably the U.S.S. Vengeance) falling from the sky before the same saucer section crashing into buildings shot we’ve seen in several other trailers. Plus, Kirk is in a bar doing his thing wooing the…

More ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Goodies

More ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Goodies

New promos, clips, and other cools stuff coming out for Star Trek Into Darkness is getting to be an almost daily occurrence now. I mean really, how much more can they crank out without just releasing the film to bit torrent or something?

I know that the studios have to do everything they can to generate as much interest as they can, but I am a little bit frustrated at this point with the shear amount of footage that has been released. I feel like in order to keep up with the conversation I have to watch everything that comes out (that is officially released anyway), and yet I feel like…

‘White House Down’ Trailer 2

‘White House Down’ Trailer 2

Could this possibly be any good. Actually, it looks like it “could” though I don’t know if I’ll hold my breath or anything. But this sort of things can be fun when done right.

Somehow, I missed the first trailer for this film as this appears to be trailer number 2. Indeed, I haven’t heard much about it before now, but it looks like the film opens on June 28. It’s directed by Roland Emmerich and stars Channing Tatum (which makes me a little suspicious, but then again, Roland Emmerich… well, come to think of it, he has a couple of decent movies but nothing I’m overly fond of. But my point…

‘Man of Steel’ TV Spot 2

‘Man of Steel’ TV Spot 2

Is it June 14 yet? This Man of Steel trailer makes me wish it was because I’m ready. This may be just a TV spot, but it looks like there’s footage here we haven’t seen yet so it’s worth checking out. And of course, this is Christoper Nolan behind the scenes on this one producing, with Zack Snyder directing so this film “should” be good, right?

Well, we’ll see but I’m expecting it to be good anyway.

‘The Wolverine’ Official CinemaCon Trailer

‘The Wolverine’ Official CinemaCon Trailer

The potential is here for a good film. The X-Men Universe sort of floundered a little with Bret Ratner’s version of X-Men: The Last Stand (which I pretty much reject as cannon by the way, I guess I’m in denial). The potential is also here for an awful film, and only time will tell us the story.

In the mean time, we can get the excitement fired up for this film by way of this CinemaCon trailer. The Wolverine will release on July 26, 2013 and is helmed by director James Mangold.

“Mom” Tells Son the Plot of ‘The Matrix’

“Mom” Tells Son the Plot of ‘The Matrix’

Everyone sees things from a different perspective as proved by this mother who recently watched The Matrix with her son, and then retold him the plot.

I think she may have got a few of the details wrong… Moshimo? Super Powers? Beat out the Matrix?

Also apparently Neo got in water and lost his hair. Oh, and also, he went through tunnels. See below:

Apparently, she watched a very different film than the film that I love so much…

My mom hadn’t seen (or heard of) the Wachowski’s classic sci-fi film The Matrix. We watched the entire movie together and right after she told me what it…

Keep Going, Scotty! - ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Clip 4

Keep Going, Scotty! - ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Clip 4

The Paramount marketing machine is churning something new out almost every day at this point. One almost gets the impression that they want this film to be big or something.

In this fourth clip it looks like the Enterprise is headed down and the artificial gravity is going crazy, stuff is flying around, and Kirk and Scotty are in a hurry to get to, what is apparently, engineering.

And of course, the “red shirts” are biting the dust around them. Oh, also, the bridge chairs have seat belts now?

It makes sense actually, we’ve just never seen such a think before (except for in a…

‘Into Darkness’ - ‘Meeting Carol’ and ‘Scotty Character Profile’

‘Into Darkness’ - ‘Meeting Carol’ and ‘Scotty Character Profile’

I do have a couple more Star Trek clips that I didn’t just want to lump all together in the one article I posted earlier. I wanted to spread it out a little bit so here are the other two.

In the first clip, Kirk and Spock meet Carol… Wallace? Maybe this has something to do with her British accent as well? Maybe in this timeline with the way things have unfolded, Admiral Marcus and Carol’s mother divorced and she goes by her mother’s last name? And they moved to the U.K.

Who knows, we’ll find out.

And in the following clip, Simon Pegg talks about playing Scotty. They have definitely…
