Thunderbolts Trailer

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.

What are your thoughts?

Fantastic Four First Steps Teaser Trailer

Fantastic Four First Steps teaser

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.

SciFi Month (2025)

Alien spaceship in a field

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.

Movie Review: Conclave

Conclave movie poster

Directed by: Edward Berger
Starring: Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow
Runtime: 2 hours
Release Date: October 25, 2024
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.

Christmas Movies (2024)

Christmas is my favorite time of year and probably the month when I watch the most movies, including May when I watch all 11 Star Wars movies.

As always there are default movies that I watch every year. For any movie that doesn’t appear on the “default” list, I will write a short review as I’ve been doing for all the previous months.

Let’s get started.

James Gunn’s Superman Teaser Trailer

James Gunn’s story about the son of Krypton has its first teaser trailer. It’s not often that I post many trailers that don’t pertain to Star Wars, but maybe I should. Perhaps I will try to do more of it as long as it’s something I think is interesting and I have some thoughts to share. Without further ado, here is James Gunn’s Superman teaser trailer.
