The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies Official Teaser Trailer

After that killer cliffhanger of the Desolation of Smaug, we have all been waiting patiently for the conclusion of the Hobbit movies. The first trailer was finally released, and it looks great! 

This better be the best freaking conclusion to any story I've seen in my life, and I'm pretty sure everyone else feels the same way. One thing I am concerned about is Smaug's screen time. Hopefully, he lives longer into the film than just the destruction of Lake Town, which may just be the first 20 minutes. If you read the book (SPOILER), you'd know he dies during the attack. Everyone, myself included, would love to see him have more to his role than that, because after a year of waiting, how disappointing would it be to have Smaug, one of the best CGI characters ever made, die in the first act? I don't care if that's unfaithful to the book, because I'm pretty sure there wasn't a battle of 5 armies in it. It'll just be a slight change. They can kill him with the black arrow later. But I'm going to bet that he does indeed die in the first act. Who knows?

First look at Wonder Woman from Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice

This just now came to my attention. This is our first look at Wonder Woman from the upcoming Dawn of Justice movie. 

Gal Gadot looks okay as Wonder Woman. Just okay. Not bad, not great. When she was first announced, my first thought was: "She is WAY too skinny to be Wonder Woman." But, it looks like she put on a few pounds of muscle to better fit the role, because Wonder Woman isn't a twig. She's an Amazonian warrior. Most of her curves are muscle. I can't say Gal Gadot fits under the 'curvy' category. In my opinion, she's still a bit too thin. And not to seem like a jerk, but.... her breast size isn't big enough. No disrespect to Gal Gadot, but Wonder Woman's chest is undoubtedly a D cup. I'm not saying this because I'm a perv, I'm saying this because it doesn't go with the right physical aspects of Wonder Woman. BUT... if she can pull of the Wonder Woman attitude, and play the role like she owns it, then it'll all be fine. If it were any other character, it wouldn't matter that much. But Wonder Woman is always a tall, built warrior. I'm just not seeing that here. The actual outfit is fine, but the woman inside it needs to put on a bit more weight and muscle in order for me or any other fan to say: "That's Wonder Woman." 

Pacific Rim 2, Skull Island, and Godzilla 2, and more details

News, announcements, and details about upcoming films all pouring in during San Diego Comic-con 2014. What do we have so far?

New Monsters Possibly Confirmed for Godzilla Sequel?!?!

San Diego Comic-con 2014 is underway, and word is spreading about 3 classic Toho kaiju returning to the big screen for the sequel to Legendary's Godzilla movie. From what I've read, there was a couple teaser videos for the attendees of SDCC. It is said that these videos revealed the kaiju that may be appearing in the next Godzilla movie:

RODAN

MOTHRA

and

KING GHIDORAH!!!!

I almost crapped my pants. Almost. Hopefully, Legendary worked out a deal with Toho so they could use these kaiju. I'm still not sure they will 100% absolutely be in the film yet. It's so early, and Gareth has to work on a Star Wars spin-off movie before he returns to Godzilla. But from all the buzz I've seen so far on the web, I can at least say that it's a high possibility. I'll either need to see the video myself, or get confirmation straight from Legendary in order to properly squeal like a Twilight fangirl. 

Jack the Giant Killer movie review

I lied. Transmorphers isn’t next. I just came across this one, and I knew I couldn’t pass this opportunity up. This is Jack the Giant Killer, only existing because Jack the Giant Slayer from 2013 exists.

Age of Dinosaurs movie review

Age of Dinosaurs

Ever wonder what a cross between Die Hard and Jurassic Park would be like? Well, after seeing this, I can safely say… it looks like total freaking Tyrannosaurus diarrhea $hit!!!

Battleborn- new upcoming video game- Trailer review

I know I have barely any video game reviews or articles on this blog, but this one caught my attention.

Android Cop movie review

If you can’t tell what movie it’s ripping off, you need help.

Atlantic Rim (alt. title: Attack From Beneath) movie review

It’s only fitting that the first Asylum movie I review is a rip-off. This one, if you can’t tell by the title, is a rip-off of Pacific Rim. How could any movie studio take the concept of kaiju fighting giant mechas and make it the most boring thing ever? I don’t know how, but the Asylum did.

The Asylum Studios: The Grand Champions of Rip-off Movies

You may not know the name, but you've most likely seen their work. If you can call it "work". It's more like unbelievable garbage.

What to look forward to in July 2014

Last month was pretty eventful, with the release of How to Train Your Dragon 2 and Transformers: Age of Extinction, which are both going to be somewhere in my top 5 films of the year. The month of July has only 2 films of enough interest to me that I'd like to see in theaters, but I might change my mind about one or two others and go see them as well. No promises. Anyway, the films I am definitely going to see are:

Lucy- July 25. 

This one looks cool. It's where these criminals surgically implant a bag of drugs inside Scarlet Johansson's belly, so she can transport them without detection. Unfortunately, the bag starts leaking, and instead of killing her, like I'm sure everything else would if this happened, it gives her access to more of her brain capacity, which basically gives her superpowers! Jeez! What sort of drugs is she transporting? If it does all that, then it must be the REALLY good stuff! Where can I find that? (joking. Don't send the DEA on me)

Hercules- July 25.

I like to call it, Hercules: Dwayne Johnson Edition. This one has to be better than the Legend of Hercules movie earlier this year. There is no way this one can be as bad or worse. It might not be fantastic, but everyone KNOWS it'll be astronomically better. While Dwayne Johnson isn't the best actor, he sure is a better Hercules than... whoever the heck they got to play the role in the last one. I think he was in one of the Twilight movies. When I look at that... stupid, untalented, ugly kid from the last movie, I don't see Hercules. Not a trace. When I look at Dwayne Johnson, I DEFINITELY see Hercules! He is the perfect guy to play the role in this movie! Will this be fantastic? Probably not, but I can guarantee it'll be a lot more fun and enjoyable than the other. 

And those are the only movies this month that I know I am going to see and review. I'm on the fence about seeing Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Planes: Fire and Rescue looks a lot funnier than I thought it would be, but I'd much rather wait until it comes out on rental. I'll figure out what I'm going to do before July 25th. I guess I'll review some bad sic fi films from the 50's or something. Or I could review bad sic fi films from recent years.... and I think I know JUST the studio with the most crappy films to choose from... oh yes....
