Godzilla Minus Zero, Baby!
Godzilla Minus One was a masterpiece and now there’s a sequel coming. Because why not? Because hell yeah! Here’s our first look at Godzilla Minus Zero.
Godzilla vs. the Statue of Liberty?! Sounds reasonable to me! His second favorite place after Tokyo is definitely New York City. Maybe this is a direct remake of the 90s, American Godzilla! Or maybe it won’t be that. Who knows. We’re just gonna have to wait and see when the times comes.
Godzilla Minus Zero is coming to theaters on Nov. 6!

New Trailers for Supergirl and Masters of the Universe Sure Are Neat!
Sorry I haven’t posted more over the past few days, and missed this weekend’s comic book reviews. Not only am I having a busy week at work, but I also came down with a cold on top of that. So man…just haven’t been in a posting mood. I think the cold dulled my sense of artistic appreciation. I went and saw Project: Hail Mary while sick, and…eh. It was fine.
Anyway, yesterday we got two big trailers for a couple big movies this summer.
First up is Supergirl, which a fuller trailer that looks pretty cool.
I am fully on board with this movie. I loved Superman last summer, and I love what they’re doing with Supergirl. I also very much love the comic this movie is based on, Woman of Tomorrow. Honestly, watching that trailer, I’m a little worried that I’m going to be too much of a stickler for the comic. I hope that’s not the case and I can just sit back and enjoy this Supergirl movie, which should be a hoot.
Supergirl comes to theaters on June 26.
We’ve also got a new Masters of the Universe Trailer.
I think it looks great! I devoured all those toy commercial cartoons in the 1980s, as a wee lad. Ninja Turtles was top of the heap for me, but I definitely watched He-Man and had a few of the toys. And I very much like that this movie looks like a big toy commercial. Bright, colorful, full of action and characters; it’s not shying away from the lore. I’m not a stickler for He-Man lore, but I think this should be a really fun way to approach this film. Embrace the camp.
Masters of the Universe comes to theaters on June 5! So it’s gonna be a fun June.

Put Forgotten Island On Your Radar
I’ll admit, when I first saw the thumbnail for this Forgotten Island trailer, I thought it looked rather low budget, and the title doesn’t do it any favors. But trust me and watch this trailer. Forgotten Island is from the people behind Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, and the trailer looks to be more of the same quality.
That was pretty darn cool! I like the characters. I love the animation! The story seems quite excellent. The visuals are resplendent. This could hopefully be a nice sleeper hit! Dreamworks isn’t washed up!
Forgotten Island comes to theaters on Sept. 25.

Characters Galore in Spider-Man: Brand New Day Trailer!
The first trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrived this morning and it is chockful of characters. Can you spot them all? A lot of them were spoiled due to leaks, but their arrival is still fun. See for yourself!
It’s an OK trailer. It’s a little all over the place. I’ve never personally been a fan of the spider-mutation stuff, but it’s still classic Spider-Man, so there’s no point in fighting it. I love me some Scorpion, so I’m glad he’s here. And the other villains I’ve heard about should be a hoot! Then Punisher! Bruce Banner! The…the Hand?!
I like the grounded nature of the story so far, though it does butt up against the weird choice at the end of the previous movie where Peter Parker uses a magic spell to make everybody forget he exists. Part of me hoped he’d actually move on and make new friends, but perhaps he can try his luck chasing after his old friends. By all means.
Looks good.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day will arrive in theaters on July 31.

So The Super Mario Galaxy Movie…
My memory is pretty bad these days, but I don’t think I cared for the first animated Mario movie. I don’t remember why, particularly. Of course, the film wasn’t for me. It’s for kids, and they loved it, and now it’s got a sequel coming out. And I’ll definitely see it, maybe even in theaters. I haven’t decided.
It looks fine…but it also just looks like the first movie. The animation hasn’t changed. It’s still colorful and energetic and super fun. And we recently found out that Donald Glover will be voicing Yoshi. I am very interested to see how that’s going to work. Is he going to do a Vin Diesel as Groot thing? Will Yoshi actually talk like Donald Glover?! I’m dying to find out. I still don’t like Chris Pratt as Mario.
We’ll see in a few weeks! The Super Mario Galaxy Movie comes out on April 1!
