This week is a good week if you’re a Star Wars fan. The Force Awakens hit Blu-Ray on Tuesday (read our review here) and now we have the first trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Barring the fact the title is a little goofy, director Gareth Edwards looks to be bringing the goods in a major way. One important item to note is that this will be a prequel set before A New Hope, so that should make for an interesting premise…even if this is another Star Wars story involving the Death Star. Anyway, it looks terrific. Enjoy the first teaser trailer for Edwards’ film below! “Rogue One takes place before…

Sweet Trailer…’The Legend of Tarzan’
Remakes and sequels are all around us. Such is life. This week we saw the trailer for the 3rd remake of Ben-Hur (which doesn’t look one bit appealing), but Edgar Rice Burroughs‘ “Tarzan” is another property that gets a fresh coat of paint every couple decades. While this already looks like it’ll be better than Peter Jackson’s King Kong – another in a long line of remakes/retreads – we think it’s because the practical bits (thank you Mad Mad: Fury Road) and the digital ones (thank you Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) will blend very well in this seemingly compelling story. Enjoy the trailer for The Legend of Tarzan. Tarzan,…

Sweet (2nd) Trailer…’Captain America: Civil War’
2016 seemingly has its fill of comic-themed showdowns…flights, tights, and might all duking it out on screen. This month we have the Bats V Supes title-fight (if you’re into that whole DC thing), but as soon as the dust settles from that, it will be time for the Marvel camp to enter the ring. Theirs is an equally tense, and rather epic looking slug fest. So have a look at the second trailer for Captain America: Civil War and tell us which corner you’ll be in. Oh, and stick around to the very end of the trailer. Enjoy! An incident leads to the Avengers developing a schism over how to deal with situations, which…

Sweet Trailer…’Eddie the Eagle’
20th Century Fox has released the first trailer for the Dexter Fletcher directed film Eddie the Eagle…and it looks awesome! Then again it’s from producer Matthew Vaughn and company, so anything with the “MARV” brand is a sure sign of quality. The film, about unlikely but courageous British ski-jumper Michael “Eddie” Edwards (Taron Egerton), sets to show how a never say die attitude inspired his country and the world. The film also perfectly nails the look of the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics, and we can’t wait to see more. Enjoy the trailer and let us know what you think! Inspired by true events, Eddie the Eagle is a feel-good story about…

Sweet Trailer…’X-Men: Apocalypse’
Well here’s a fine way to end the week. What is likely the last comic book trailer we’ll get this year, this 2 minute and 33 second teaser is the equivalent of Bryan Singer dropping the mic on 2015. The X-Men films have gotten better since Matthew Vaughn’s First Class and Singer’s return to Marvel with Days of Future Past. So, rounding out this prequelogy (pretty sure that’s not really a thing, but it sounds neat) is the impressive looking X-Men: Apocalypse. Due out next May, 2016 is going to be a comic book smack down of epic proportions, both on-screen and at the box office. Enjoy this first trailer…

Ho-Hum Trailer…’Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows’
Yes, Dudes and Dudettes, major-league butt-kicking is back in town. The first trailer (and subsequent ones now that we think about it) for 2014’s Turtles didn’t give us the warm fuzzies. Worse than that, the trailers were actually better than the film and the plot. The only redeeming elements were Brian Tyler’s awesome score and that elevator scene. So it’s with a huge grain of salt that we prepare for this second at bat…and that title. Yikes! Good news is that Steve Jablonsky has stepped in for Tyler and we all know what he brings to his films. To a fault, we’re always hopeful, even if said film looks like…

Sweet (Red Band) Trailer…’The Nice Guys’
If you love Shane Black‘s work (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Iron Man 3, et al) then you are going to freak out at the awesomeness of his latest buddy flick The Nice Guys. The film is a throwback romp starring Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe, and holy hell, this looks hilarious! While this isn’t the re-teaming of Robert Downey, Jr. and Val Kilmer that fans have been looking for, this actually seems to be a better looking story. Trailers pushing the 3:00 mark tend to give a lot away, but it’s safe to say that this glimpse into Black’s next endeavor is just the tip of the iceberg…and this particular…

Sweet Trailer…’Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’
Jimmy Kimmel showcases some bad ass trailers, and after wowing us with Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Captain America: Winter Soldier and the like, here now is Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Maybe he likes films with a hefty colon in the title? Anyway, this second (third if you were at SDCC) look at rock star Zack Snyder‘s Bats v Supes epic throwdown has all the making of greatness…unless you’re the internet and have picked holes in everything from Batfleck, to Doomsday looking rather underwhelming, or Jesse Eisenberg looking like Jerry Lewis just stumbled into the wrong movie. Well, you can’t please all the people all the time. We…

Sweet Trailer…’Captain America: Civil War’
If you were watching Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, then you already witnessed the awesomeness of the first trailer for Captain America: Civil War. It seems that Marvel’s Phase 3 is moving in the right direction and the Russo Brothers are bringing more of the energy and edge from their last outing (The Winter Soldier) with Cap. Also, it’s great to see how full circle the series is becoming with the shared universe. Case in point: William Hurt returning as General ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross! So far, so good Marvel. We’ll look past Avengers: Age of Ultron‘s underwhelming story because we were more than happy with Ant-Man‘s colorful, fun and upbeat entry to…

Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…’Finding Dory’
If you love Pixar, especially their 2003 mega-splash Finding Nemo, then skip everything past this and jump to the trailer below!…For those of you still with us, we’ll resume now…This year we were fortunate enough to get two features from the animation giant (Inside Out –check out our review here– and the upcoming The Good Dinosaur), but the horizon is just teeming with follow-ups to their biggest hits. So, look forward to next June because the Nemo gang is back for an even bigger adventure spearheaded, err, headlined (‘spear’ sounds too violent in regards to fish) by the titular blue doll Dory. This sequel features Andrew Stanton back at the helm…

Sweet Trailer…’The Brothers Grimsby’
Here’s some good news, and bad news to end your week. Good news: Mark Strong is in a new movie! He’s not quite the household name we expected by this point in his career, but he’s still stellar in nearly everything. Now the bad news: he’s likely playing second fiddle to Sacha Baron Cohen. *cue sad trombone* This is the first trailer for Louis Leterrier‘s spy comedy The Brothers Grimsby and hopefully this is more about them as a duo, or else this could be the SBC show – these days, that’s not a good thing. Spoofs are hit and miss as of late, so whether or not it’s been long enough…

Sweet Trailer…’Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens’
OK, by now there is no possible way (or excuse) that you haven’t seen the stellar trailer for Star Wars: Episode VII (man, just typing that gives me chills). But if this is your first time to behold the power and majesty of J.J. Abrams‘ foray into a galaxy far, far away, then please, let me keep you no longer. After all, The Force…it’s calling to you! A continuation of the saga created by George Lucas set thirty years after Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi. Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens is directed by J.J. Abrams. The film, and long-awaited return to the Star…
