Will this darn week ever end? Maybe with some trailers
Man, this week. I’ve had a busy year and summer already, but this week takes the cake! But I’ve mostly made it through, and finally have something to post and share! Trailers! Movie and TV show trailers! I love trailers, I love having new things to watch, and I love sharing them with you lovely people who read this blog still.
First up is the first look at Mortal Kombat II, the sequel to that mostly bland Mortal Kombat movie from a few years ago.
All I can mostly say is…they seem to be leaning into the Mortal Kombat of it all just like the original Mortal Kombat sequel, Annihilation. That would be pretty wild. Mostly, I’m excited that they’ve brought back actor Josh Lawson as Kano. He was the only good character from the first film, and it was a damn travesty that they killed him off. Let us hope he has a big role in this sequel.
Mortal Kombat II comes to theaters on Oct. 24.
Next up is Tron: Ares, a movie I don’t care about, but looks very good.
I’ve never cared about the Tron franchise, and I don’t have any particular interest or anticipation for Tron: Ares. But some people might, so I’m sharing. And, honestly, that trailer looks fascinating. I love the visuals. I love the computery Tron stuff placed up against a real world city. So I might actually watch this in theaters.
Tron: Ares comes to theaters on Oct. 10.
How about Hoppers, the next Pixar film.
I haven’t seen Elio, but I probably will when it comes to Disney+. Pixar just isn’t the same. And, while Hoppers doesn’t strike any particular chord, I did like the idea of a human confronting the starkness of the animal kingdom. So that’s neat, at least.
Hoppers comes to theaters on March 6.
Lastly, a TV show trailer for Alien: Earth.
I’ve never been a big fan of the Alien franchise. I just don’t care for horror. But I’ll watch a prestige TV show when it’s good. And hopefully Alien: Earth will be good! I’ve got high hopes and can make room in my schedule.
Alien: Earth comes to FX and Hulu on Aug. 12, which is pretty darn soon.

Alien: Earth is Coming
I’ve never been a big fan of the Alien series. I’m just not that into horror movies. But who am I to deny a franchise when it brings me a potentially interesting new TV show to watch? And for this show, they have crossed the final line and brought the Xenomorphs to Earth.
Looks good to me. But then, it doesn’t take much to impress me. I haven’t done any research on this show. I don’t know what it’s going to be about. I’m pretty sure I saw a Xenomorph in the trailer, so they’re definitely in it and the show isn’t just using the name. I wonder if Sigourney Weaver will make a cameo appearance just because it’s theoretically possible. We shall all find out one of these days!
Alien: Earth comes to FX/Hulu on Aug. 12.
