New Justice League Trailer for All Your Justice League Needs
This is actually an OK Justice League trailer. I like it better than the previous one, possibly because it’s got a touch more Joss Whedon in it this time? I don’t know. I’m still mostly expecting this film to be as dark and crummy as Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. But I suppose anything is possible.
Maybe it’ll be fun. Maybe Justice League will exceed expectations and be a good movie. Or maybe it’ll be another dark, action-heavy garbage pile. There’s only one way to find out and it arrives next month!

I’m So Glad Pacific Rim Got a Sequel!
Pacific Rim is an awesome flick about people piloting giant robots to fight monsters. I love this genre, and I’m super excited that we have a big budget action movie franchise! So I’m very excited for Pacific Rim: Uprising and the first trailer is equally exciting!
Some concerns, though. I’m all for John Boyega getting more work, but why couldn’t we follow the adventures of Raleigh Becket and Mako Mori? Mako is probably the best female Asian superhero introduced to mainstream audiences in years! She’s going to be in the new sequel, but only as a supporting character. That’s a disappointment!
Also, Boyega is playing the son of Idris Elba’s character from the first one, Stacker Pentecost. Yet his name is Jake Pentacost? Really? With a name as cool as Stacker, you’re going to name your son Jake? Lame as heck!
At least Charlie Day is also returning. Good to know he’s still getting work in Hollywood.

There’s Gonna Be a New Tomb Raider Movie
I don’t think I ever watched the original Tomb Raider movies with Angelina Jolie. In all honesty, I never played the original Tomb Raider video games either. Maybe a little bit, here or there. It was just never part of my video game lexicon.
At least not until the most recent video game reboot, which actually seems to have inspired the new movies.
The two newest games — Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider — are really fun games! They’re very cinematic and involve a lot of extreme stunts, with a really scrappy vibe to them. This isn’t the cool and in charge Lara Croft, guns blazing. This is a Lara who gets into the muck and the blood as she struggles to survive in a harsh landscape against harsher bad guys.
The only problem I have with the games is that the stories aren’t very nuanced. Lara is good and the bad guys are just generically evil, one-dimensional villains who always seem to be 10 steps ahead of her until she finally scrapes out a win.
I like the games and I like the look of the movie.

First Trailer for Isle of Dogs, Wes Anderson’s New Film
Holy crap, this looks amazing. I don’t know about you henchies, but I am a huuuuge Wes Anderson fan! He’s probably my favorite director. And he’s got a new stop motion animated film coming out on March 23 called Isle of Dogs. This is the first I’m hearing about it, and we’ve got an amazing new trailer!
Holy cow that looks good. Fantastic Mr. Fox, his last stop motion movie, is a masterpiece. And Isle of Dogs looks damn good from the first trailer! I love having a new Wes Anderson movie to look forward to!
