I realize this isn’t comic book or Star Wars related but it’s kind of fantasy. Honestly, it’s here because I’ve enjoyed the animated films and television series. However, with that said, did we need a live-action adaptation? In my opinion, no. I don’t understand this obsession with creating live-action adaptations of animated films. Be that as it may, here is the How to Train Your Dragon trailer for the live-action adaptation.
This is something new I think I’m going to try. When I was in college (back in the day) I used to play a game (mostly with myself) to predict the Oscars. I was decent at it. The year The Return of the King won Best Picture (2004) I missed a perfect score by three categories. I haven’t played it since because I graduated, and started a career and a family (among other reasons). I think I will give it another go for the 97th Academy Awards, just for funsies.
Granted, I haven’t seen all of the movies that have been nominated, I don’t have time for that; I do have to earn a paycheck and raise a family. Most categories will be an educated guess but I will try to watch (and review) any of them I think are interesting (or recommended).
Of course, the moment I commit to expanding my content a little bit, we get several new trailers that fall under the “geek canon” genre. DC has been stepping up their game with Superman so Marvel doubles down. First, it was the Fantastic Four First Steps trailer, then, during the Super Bowl, Marvel released the Thunderbolts trailer. Let’s have a look.
If I’m not mistaken Thunderbolts is the Marvel version of DC’s Suicide Squad; misfit anit-heros brought together to save humanity. Marvel needs a serious win right now. They have struggled since ending the Infinity Saga.
This trailer gives us some hope. The humor and dialog are very promising, I just hope they didn’t put all the funny parts in the trailer. The action looks good and engaging. I’m a little excited about it.
I am way behind on all of the series and I need to watch a couple of movies. It should be a goal to get caught up before I see any new films, including Captain America: Brave New World (which comes out this Friday). Thunderbolts* comes out May 2nd.

In my effort to expand the content of this blog, we have a new trailer that launched today. It is the reboot of the Fantastic Four franchise with a new cast, which, hopefully, will render better results than that disaster back in 2015. So without further ado here is the new Fantastic Four First Steps teaser trailer.
Here we are, at the start of a new year, and we kick things off with Science Fiction movies. Although aliens are the central theme of four of these films, I didn’t go with a specific motif this year (although I already did an alien-themed selection last year). I just picked movies that I’ve wanted to see or movies I haven’t seen in a while. Be that as it may, here is the list, so you can skip around if you want.
Directed by: Edward Berger
Starring: Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow

My Rating:
The pope has died and it has fallen upon the Dean of the College of Cardinals to assemble the Church’s Cardinals to elect a new pope via conclave. However, controversy and politics interfere with the process, as they often do in just about every electoral process.
