Super Trailer Thursday!
For some reason, a bunch of interesting trailers have been coming out this week. And I love trailers. And they’re easy to share when I’m otherwise busy. So how about we enjoy a couple of trailers for shows and movies I have a vague interest in?
Like the live action trailer for Lilo & Stitch!
I enjoy the animated Lilo & Stitch as much as the next person. And I don’t care for the Disney live action movies as much as the next person. Heck, the live action Snow White comes out, like, next week. Does anybody care beyond the haters? Still, who doesn’t enjoy Stitch shenanigans?
Lilo & Stitch live action comes to theaters on May 23.
Next up is an animated show on Netflix that I just learned about: Devil May Cry! I never played the games, but I’ve enjoyed the animated Castlevania shows, so maybe this will also be good?
It looks pretty good. I’m all in favor of turning classic video games into cool new anime shows. I even did a List of Six suggesting some other shows! And maybe this will be a faithful adaptation and I’ll actually find out what Devil May Cry is about. Won’t that be something?
Devil May Cry, the series, comes to Netflix on April 3.
Lastly, there’s going to be a new season of Poker Face, the mystery show starring Natasha Lyonne and created by Rian Johnson.
For some reason, I didn’t care for the first season of Poker Face. It did nothing for me! Even though I enjoy Lyonne’s work and am a huge fan of Knives Out and Glass Onion. Just something about Poker Face didn’t click for me. So I don’t even know if I’ll watch this. But some of you might, so I thought I’d share.
Poker Face season 2 comes to Peacock on May 8.

6 Thoughts on Captain America: Brave New World (Review)
Our year of new Marvel content has begun, with Captain America: Brave New World kicking off an entire 2025 of new movies and shows. I’m super excited! I remain a diehard Marvel fan, and there’s very little that’s going to knock me from my perch. Judge me if you will, but I really enjoyed this fourth Captain America film.
Movie Rating: 6/10 – Pretty Good
Falcon and the Winter Soldier is probably my second favorite of the Marvel Studios TV shows. I thought it was an awesome show, with great themes, characters and more. Exploring African American history through the lens of Captain America was a great idea, and I think that show pulled it off nicely. So I was very much looking forward to Sam Wilson getting his own Cap movie. And while I know a lot of people are sour on this movie for some reason, I had a blast.
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the movie. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.
Read the rest of this entryFriendship Looks Like a Weird and Fun Movie
In this content drought that is winter, I’m open to enjoying and posting most anything. Like this trailer for a new A24 movie called Friendship, starring Paul Rudd and Tim Robinson. Looks like it’ll be funny!
Looks like they’re turning a wacky buddy comedy into a tense thriller. I like that approach. Though now that I think about it, why not just make a wacky buddy comedy that stays a wacky buddy comedy, but it’s filmed like a tense thriller? Movies should be more experimental like that. Or maybe this one is just gonna be a weird, fun one. I could go for one of those.
Friendship comes to theaters in May!

Thunderbolts* Still Looks Fun as Hell!
I didn’t watch the Super Bowl because I never watch the Super Bowl. It’s just not my thing. But you best believe I watched the new Thunderbolts* trailer the moment I saw it show up online. And it still looks fun as all heck!
The trailer is a little choppy for my tastes, but the song is a fun choice and the humor/head butting still looks super entertaining. I have a lot of high hope for this film. I think Thunderbolts* is going to tap into the same charm as the first Avengers film, wherein we take familiar (or semi-familiar) characters and have them team up and butt heads and banter, then learn to work as a team. That’s exactly what I want to see, and that’s exactly what it looks like we’ll get, so yeah, I have high hopes.
Thunderbolts* comes to theaters on May 2!
And this weekend is Captain America: Brave New World! So that’s fun too.

They’re Making Another Jurassic Movie
We all probably should have just assumed a new movie in the Jurassic franchise was coming. Why would they stop? Didn’t the last one still surpass a billion dollars, even though it wasn’t very good? I don’t know. I don’t keep track. But I do watch trailers! Like this trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth.
Question: If you’re going with a rebirth, why call it Jurassic World? Why not Jurassic Park: Rebirth? Is Jurassic World now the more recognizable franchise name? Though based on the trailer, it’s not like they’re rebuilding the park, so perhaps that name wouldn’t work. But they did rebuild the park in the movie Jurassic World! Now I’m just going around in circles.
Maybe they should have called it something else. Jurassic Island. Jurassic Planet. Jurassic Adventure. Could have been anything, really. Jurassic Galaxy, but it still only takes place on an island.
This trailer looks about as solid as every other Jurassic World movie, so who knows. It comes to theaters on July 2!
