I am not a gamer. However, this looks like a fun fantasy extravaganza filled with magical battles and big hulking musclebound Orcs that could put The Rock in traction. It just looks fun and if it provides that I'm down for it. Is it something I'm frothing at the mouth over? No, but I still want to see it and look forward to what it promises. And damn, who knew that orcs could look so fine?
Yeah. They're back. Those dratted aliens who tried to wipe us out in 1996 have come back two decades later, I feel so old because it has been THAT LONG already, in an attempt to finish the job and director Roland Emmerich looks to deliver what he always does. BIG DUMB FUN! The trailer is awesome to me though. The music and the use of that great speech from the first one, you know it... "Today you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation. And should we win the day the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the day when the whole world declared in one voice WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT! WE WILL NOT VANISH WITHOUT A FIGHT! WE'RE GOING TO LVE ON! WE'RE GOING TO SURVIVE! TODAY WE CELEBRATE OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY!" HOO-FREAKING-RAH! Bring it on Roland, bring it on! And Goldblum's line at the end is pricelessly Goldblum. "That's definitely bigger than the last one." Commenting on the film itself Jeff?
The BFG
Two words. Spielberg. Disney. Enough said.
LIAM NEESON! That voice. And this just looks like a brilliant little movie. Very promising teaser. Sigourney is in there too? Awesome. I have not seen The Orphanage, but I have seen The Impossible and from that I can conclude that J.A. Bayona is a talented dude and I want to see what he does here. This and the BFG trailer have a bit in common. They both have similar final shots.
Oh my stars and garters this looks like it's going to be intense. The Winter Soldier is a beautifully fantastic movie and Avengers: Age of Ultron was a mucho huge team movie, but Civil War looks like it is really going to be taking the Marvel Cinematic Universe into much darker and grittier directions than ever before. Wow!
Bryan Singer is back in the big chair after his triumphant return with 2014's X-Men Days of Future Past and Apocalypse once again looks to take this series into even darker and more intense waters. Look out!
Hmmm. This could be very entertaining and David Yates is the director. For those who don't know, he directed the last four Harry Potter films and the next film on this little jaunt...
Yep. A spinoff of the Harry Potter universe created by author J.K. Rowling is making its way to the big screen next November under the guidance of David Yates who brought the original Potter film series through to its conclusion. And Eddie Redmayne is the lead. Should be interesting.
Justin Lin takes the directing reigns from J.J. Abrams and it does indeed look like some of his Fast & Furious experience has rubbed off on the new Trek, but it still looks like a good time at the theater. That's what I want! With this cast!
That is enough for now I think. There will be more eventually and maybe a more in-depth discussion of a couple of these. We will see. For now this where I leave you. Have a good night all.
