"Vacation" Red Band Trailer


Are you excited for this? I know remakes and reboots get a lot of hate, but the fact that this seems very self aware and even includes a joke about the fact that it is a reboot gives it a sort of 21 Jump Street vibe, which I'm glad to see.

What to watch: Avengers: Age of Ultron

So I tried making a video review for this but for some reason I kept messing it up and starting from scratch and I feel like I'm never going to get it done. So I've decide just to write it out instead so I hope you don't mind. 
Like many many people around the world I went to go see Avengers: AoU this weekend and I hadn't voiced this opinion much before but I wasn't as excited as I thought I was going to be! Not because I don't like marvel movies or because the movie itself didn't look good but because the news that the MCU will be moving into two of the biggest storylines in marvel history with Civil War and Infinity War. Those two future movies made this movie feel a bit smaller in scope and the stakes didn't feel as high knowing we'd for sure see most of these characters in the future. With all of that said I must admit I very very much enjoyed every second of this movie. Joss Whedon has tied all of the previous stories together masterfully and it was a pleasant surprise to see certain secondary characters be fleshed out and shine amongst the likes of Tony, Cap and Thor. The creation of the villainous Ultron felt somewhat rushed but that can most likely be blamed on the studio wanting a shorter runtime and more action since Whedon's original cut of the movie is said to be 40 minutes longer than the theatrical release! Along with a longer version of the film an alternate ending is said to exist so make sure to pick up the bluray once it's out to  see all of that. So back to the good and the bad of the movie, Spader as the voice of Ultron was great but the portrayal was very different from the menacing artificial intelligence we saw in the trailers. Ultron in the film takes his personality from his creator Tony Stark so you can imagine he's humorous and a bit of a smart ass. Was it bad? No. It was just different from what was originally advertised. 
The action was on point as is expected but at certain points the CGI was obvious but that's mostly just because some of these characters are doing super over the top stunts that could only be captured by special effects. The dialogue felt a lot more polished as opposed to the first film and the banter between the characters was even better. What more can I say besides the movie was fun as hell and it's awesome to see more and more people accepting these things that were at one point strictly nerd culture. Overall I really enjoyed this movie and I highly recommend seeing it in the theaters! I give this an enthusiastic FULL PRICE. If you'd like to discuss the movie more in detail please drop me a comment on any of the social media outlets I shared this on. 

Rating: Full Price 

David Ayer tweets first look at cast of SUICIDE SQUAD

I'm not very excited about this since they all look so bland and none of them stand out. This is as "generic action movie" as any comic book movie has or ever will be. Let's hope any future looks at the movie will change my mind.

Brad Bird is one of the most stylistic directors in the business right now and this trailer shows it! This looks outstanding and like a wonderfully crafted living world that only someone like Burd can create. Check out the full trailer here.

Jurassic World - Official Global Trailer (HD)

This trailer has me a little worried. I'm still very very very excited about this movie but I feel like this movie will just be a monster movie and won't have the heart and charm that the first film did. Obviously I shouldn't compare to the first that's just something small that bothered me. Anyway enough rambling check out the new action packed trailer for Jurassic World here.

The latest trailer for the upcoming reboot is here and it shows a less dark and foreboding side of the movie with humor sprinkled here and there making this a bit more promising. I'm glad to see our first look at Doctor Doom and the trailer overall was good. Check it out here.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - Official Teaser Trailer [HD]

Like I mentioned in my Instagram post I wouldn't be sharing the leaked version of this trailer since I was fairly certain Warner Bros. would just release the high def official trailer soon after much like Marvel did when the first Avengers: AoU trailer was leaked. So here it is and let me tell you it is very dark and gritty but is that what you wanted from this movie? Many have complained by the direction DC and Snyder have decided to take with these movies but I personally can't complain since it's looking to be a good movie so far. What did you think about Batflek? I think he looks like a perfect Bruce Wayne and his batman has me very very excited. Check out the trailer here.

Southpaw Official Trailer #1 (2015) - Jake Gyllenhaal

Since it's announcement and after seeing his performance in Nightcrawler, I've been dying to see what Jake Gyllenhaal does next. Southpaw is looks as intense and hard hitting as any of Gyllenhaal's last performances and I'm very excited to see it. I did have somewhat of a problem with the amount of footage that was revealed to us. The trailer is the first for the movie and it already has setup the movie as well as spoiling some of the more pivotal scenes in the film but nonetheless I'm very excited for this. 

SPECTRE TEASER TRAILER

The teaser trailer for the next James Bond film is finally here and it gives off a very ominous tone which hopefully means we'll see Bond face his greatest villain yet! Check out the teaser here.

Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation - Fate


Finally after much anticipation and not much information we have our first look at the next installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise. The last film "Ghost Protocol" was a huge hit and I personally feel it broke all expectations and set the bar pretty high for it's next movie. Christopher McQuarrie is stepping in as director in place of Brad Bird whom I feel is mostly responsible for Ghost Protocol's surprising quality. McQuarrie has worked with Cruise twice before as director on Jack Reacher (which I loved btw) and as writer on the hugely popular Edge of Tomorrow. The trailer showcases some of the crazy stunts involved which Cruise himself preformed and one of the main reasons the last film felt so grand in scale. Make sure to check the trailer out here.

Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron UK trailer 3 OFFICIAL | HD

Marvel has released a new trailer today and it has a lot of new footage along with more of ultron and the twins get more screen time as well. In bigger news we get our first real look at Paul Bettany as The Vision but he's never really mentioned in the trailer so something tells me he won't be present for a large portion of the film. 
I know the photo is dark but it's what I was able to screenshot since it's so quick. Check out the new trailer here.
