The Counselor - from Cormac McCarthy and Ridley Scott

Trailer: The Counselor - New Trailer - 20th Century-Fox



Verdict: This falls under the "Films I Had No Idea Existed!" banner. "The Counselor" is a new movie written by Cormac McCarthy, who wrote the novel "No Country for Old Men" and is directed by Ridley Scott. Pretty good combination! Plus, it stars the great Michael Fassbender! The trailer is good! We'll wait for the movie.

Riddick - First Trailer!

Trailer: Riddick - First Trailer - Universal Pictures



Verdict: Looks good, but comes across as a remake of "Pitch Dark!"

David Twohy is back in the director's chair for the third Riddick movie, called, guess what?, "Riddick!" The trick is that this film seems a lot like a remake of the original "Pitch Dark." That isn't the worst thing, but it doesn't seem very original.

"Riddick" premieres September 6.

Gravity - First Teaser!

Trailer: Gravity - First Teaser - Warner Bros.



Verdict: Lots to take in with first teaser! Looks very suspenseful!

Alfonso Cuaron directs this new science-fiction thriller. He was the director of what I believe was the best "Harry Potter" movie ("Prisoner of Azkaban"). George Clooney and Sandra Bullock are astronauts trapped in space after calamity strikes.

"Gravity" premieres October 4.

Fast & Furious 6 - Final Trailer!

Trailer: Fast & Furious 6 - Final Trailer - Universal Pictures



Verdict: Lots of vehicular mayhem and crazy-ass stunts! Why? Because it's a "Fast & Furious" movie!

This might be the last "Fast & Furious" movie directed by Justin Lin. Universal is in such a hurry to do 7 that they are getting a different director so they can start shooting ASAP. That is insane since Lin is responsible for making this franchise work!

Oh, well, maybe Universal will change their minds! Meanwhile, enjoy tons of crazy driving and insane stunts (or CGI-created "stunts!") in this final trailer!

"Fast & Furious 6" premieres May 24.

Wow! New Today! "Man of Steel" Trailer 3

Trailer: Man of Steel - Trailer 3 - Warner Bros.



Verdict: Lots more Superman goodness in Trailer 3! Good stuff!

This is crazy! A day where we have both "Star Trek Into Darkness" and "Man of Steel" releasing new trailers! This post, it's all about Superman. We get to see Krypton, more of Superman in action, and more character interaction, which is cool. Plus, music that sounds like Hans Zimmer, the new film's composer. I am guessing it isn't from the film score though! Kinda early for that.

Enjoy the trailer! And, it's best to spend the extra bandwidth and view it in HD!

"Man of Steel" premieres June 14.

New! "Star Trek Into Darkness" Final Trailer

Trailer: Star Trek Into Darkness - Trailer 2 - Paramount



Verdict: Yes! Great trailer! Lots of good character interaction.

The more I see, the more I think the new "Trek" is going to be great! What is especially good is that there is a lot of good character interaction. Kirk gets tested, and has to prove himself to his superiors and his crew.

Plus, some very cool other surprises for you! Watch the trailer now!

"Star Trek Into Darkness" premieres May 17.

"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" - First Teaser!

Trailer: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - Teaser - Lionsgate



Verdict: Great trailer, if you're a "Hunger Games" fan! :-)

I have to admit that I am not a "Hunger Games" fan. The first film was well made, but didn't do anything for me. So, the second film doesn't hold too much interest for me. I thought of it as basically a "Twilight" follow-up. And, I had seen enough tween emoting to last me a while!

This first trailer looks like we are going to get more of what we got the first time. Lots of Katniss escaping death, lots of plotting by Donald Sutherland and others, etc. It seems to once again be a well-made film, but I think you're going to have to be a "Hunger Games" fan to go for it!

"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" premieres November 22.

Storm Surfers 3D - New Trailer!

Trailer: Storm Surfers 3D - Trailer 1 - XLrator Media



Verdict: Super-cool surfing doc for surf film fans like me!

Australian surfers hunt down the most incredible waves, in 3D! I have to admit, I am a surfing films addict! Even though I have never surfed myself (unless you count body surfing!).

The movie looks great! Great cinematography, lots of cool characters and lots of great waves! I hope that this is shown at a theater that I can get to! I am looking forward to it!

"Storm Surfers 3D" premieres June 21.

Elysium - New Trailer!

Trailer: Elysium - Trailer 1 - Columbia Pictures

IMDb: Elysium - Internet Movie Database



Verdict: Great Sci-Fi from the director of "District 9!"

Elysium is an orbiting space station high above the Earth where the privileged lead idyllic lives. On the ground, however, everyone else fights to survive. Matt Damon decides it's time to even the score!

Neill Blomkamp is the highly-talented director who did "District 9." Again, this film tackles social commentary as it entertains. I think it's an excellent trailer, with definitely the atmosphere of "District 9." And, it stars Matt Damon! I have to admit, ever since I saw his characterization in "Team America - World Police," I can't think of him without thinking of that movie! But, he's a great actor, and this could be a pretty cool film.

"Elysium" premieres August 9.
