[Official Trailer] Avengers Assemble

New name, new poster and new trailer, geekness levels rising……..

More footage is on hand it makes everything look appropriately fun and epic….

[Trailer] Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Since the film adaptation of Pride, Prejudice and Zombies died on the vine I took some small solace in knowing the Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter was still a go.

A few hiccups along the way we finally have a trailer for it and it looks like all kinds of delicious genre fun I’d hope it’d be, a tad too much slow mo for my taste but that’s to be expected with Bekmambetov at the helm…..

[Teaser Trailer] The Bourne Legacy

To say this film is a risk would be an understatement. Some franchises are associated with certain actors and once Matt Damon decided to skip the next entry due to behind the scenes issues most assumed the Bourne series would be dead in the water expect the studio of course.

Deciding to create a new story line, with Jeremy Renner in the lead as a different character, within the same world is an interesting approach. It’s intriguing enough for me to be interested and this teaser, along with the amount of talent assembled along with some returning stars, make this teaser all the more intriguing…..

[Trailer] Re5ident Evil: Retribution

Resident Evil is one of those franchises that has been a guilty pleasure of mine even though it occasionally makes me wonder why I paid to watch it at the same time, especially during the last one.

A huge cash cow especially overseas means that sequels will keep coming until the horse has been beaten into a bloody pulp.

Paul W.S. Anderson returns to direct this 5th entry along with star/wife Milla Jovovich.

Like the Underworld series, I’m a sucker each time and this teaser looks like it could be a lot of fun especially since it shows some of our first looks at characters from the video game series and the return of some “dead” characters from the series.

[Trailer] The Hobbit

Continuing the blockbuster season of trailers, the first trailer for Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit was just released and it can best be described in the cheesiest of ways but it is in fact a return to Middle Earth…..

[Trailer] The Dark Knight Rises

The full trailer for The Dark Knight Rises is finally out on the web. I saw it on IMAX this weekend before Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and after watching it again I’ve had the same reaction.

The hairs on my arm just stand up as I witness the epic-ness that on display…..

[Trailer] Rock of Ages

I’ve been a big fan of movie musicals because I fell in love with Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge.

Before that I can say I was generally disinterested in most musicals, since I just can’t get enough of them.

The teaser for Rock of Ages looks like it could be lots of fun with a nice dose of self aware cheese……

[Trailer] MEN IN BLACK 3

Men in Black is probably one of my favorite summer films. I can remember watching in the theater multiple times, something I rarely do. Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith comedic chemistry was perfect and the sci-fi comedy took itself just serious enough.

The sequel was an example of excess as it just doubled everything with a grating effect, not to mention some of the most obvious marketing ploys in the history of film.

The trailer for the 3rd film gives me hope that we might see a return to the fun of the first….

[Trailer] MIRROR, MIRROR

About as far removed from the tone of last week’s Snow White and the Huntsman, Tarsem Singh's Mirror Mirror has an almost comedic tone with Julia Roberts chewing up scenery like a crazy. Lily Collins does seem like a more suitable Snow White in my opinion.

Singh’s visuals, as usual, are incredibly impressive but it’s a totally different genre on the same material, should be very interesting to compare and contrast when both projects come out…..

[Trailer] Snow White and the Huntsman

While I have to say I’ve been hearing about this for a good while, my interest was pretty damn low.

This trailer hits me as a bit of a surprise, looks impressively dark and epic. Still don’t care for Kristen Stewart but Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth make up for it, looking forward this now…..

[FULL TRAILER] UNDERWORLD AWAKENING 3D

2nd trailer is out and while I have my reservations I can’t help but say I’m kind of looking forward to it, however I can’t help but laugh a bit as Beckinsale literally burns rubber sans car……

[Red Band Trailer] American Reunion

I’ve never been a big time fan of the series but the first 2 were pretty funny then it just went into a head spin down ending in craptastic Direct to Video entries.

All that being said, this reunion of all the original cast looks like it might capture was funny about the original, looks pretty funny….

[Official Trailer] The Avengers

Official trailer is finally out and it’s pretty damn Geektastic, watch it for yourself.

You get a nice sense of the scale that Whedon is going for and some nice action shots of all the heroes, of course Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark gets the best line in the trailer…..

[Full Trailer] Paranormal Activity 3

Full trailer for Paranormal Activity 3 is out and it appears that this entry will be a lot more aggressive and left subtle than the first 2.

By the third entry in this franchise, which I’ve enjoyed, it’s almost required that you go all out since the audience already knows rules of the game.

We’ll see if it works in October……

[Trailer] [REC]³ Génesis

After I finished watching [REC]2 I was just begging for a 3rd part, thankfully we’ll be getting one!

The teaser trailer for the 3rd part seems to be taking a different approach from the first 2 films but this still looks like an excellent addition to the Spanish horror franchise, hopefully we in the states won’t be left waiting for years like with the 2nd part…..

[Trailer] UNDERWORLD AWAKENING 3D

I have a handful of franchises that are guilty pleasures, the Resident Evil franchise comes to mind but that seems more like sadomasochism at this point, and the Underworld series is always one that drags me in.

I wish I could say it was cinematic reason but it’s not, Beckinsale looks amazing in these movies and third prequel had one of my favorite genre hotties, Rhona Mitra.

This trailer looks like more of the same along with the terribly passé wirework action but its got Beckinsale looking hot again, vampires and werewolves and some other nonsense.

It comes out in January, studios dumping grounds for crap filmmaking, and I’ll be there opening weekend!

[Trailer] MISSION IMPOSSIBLE GHOST PROTOCOL

The Mission Impossible series got a bit of boost after a stronger 3rd entry, the less that’s said about the over stylized super slow-mo second film the better. This fourth entry feels more like the original Brian De Palma film.

Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg are joined by series new comers Josh Hollaway and Jeremy Renner who’s rumored to be prepped to take over the franchise from Cruise.

This first teaser trailer looks like good old fashion spy fun with Brad Bird at the helm, I always felt he gave The Incredibles a very 70’s era Bond feel, I’m kind of optimistic.

[Trailer] Captain America: The First Avenger

New more action packed trailer has come out and it appears this film maybe decent but I still have serious reservations.

I’ve been wrong about Thor and X-Men First Class so far but those at least had excellent directors at the helm, personally I don’t have much faith in Joe Johnston.

Still it looks like it can be a fun period comic book piece.
