Movie Preview: X-men: Days of Future Past, 2nd Trailer

     So in case I didn't mention it before, I am a huge X-Men fan. Since the famous 90's animated X-Men television series of my childhood to the big-budget film franchise that has brought more fans to join the mutants fight for their right to exist, I have loved the story of the X-Men, the theme of equality, and each character's separate story and how it affects them and using their abilities.

     One of the best stories in X-Men history is the Days of Future Past. All of you can imagine how excited I was about this story being adapted to the universe of the X-Men film franchise. I put up the first trailer a few posts ago and now, the new preview has made its way onto the internet and, whether you have seen it or not, I would love to share it with my viewers right here!

   
     From this new preview, we get a better glimpse at the dark future of the original X-Men cast and the mission to send Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) back into the past to stop the war from being triggered by uniting the younger but weary Charles Xavier (James McAvoy), the dangerous Eric Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender), and the other members from the prequel X-Men: First Class.

     The new preview gives audiences the first glimpse of the Sentinel robots that threaten the Mutant race, created by Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage). What will really catch everyone's attention is the end of trailer, seeing the scene of Charles Xavier face-to-face with his future self, Professor X (Patrick Stewart). Considering what we have heard that Wolverine would be the only X-man to interact with the heroes of the past and future, this scene was a great surprise to fans of both the movies and long-standing X-Men fans.

     We can be guaranteed that X-Men: Days of Future Past will take us on an incredible ride as an audience.

     X-Men: Days of Future Past will enter theaters on May 23.

Movie Preview : Transformers: Age of Extinction

     Now that the bitterness of winter is starting to finally melt away, spring is here but we all know summer is not too far away. When it comes to the summer in the box office, every moviegoer knows that summer blockbuster and popcorn flicks will dominate theaters. For some films and directors, their films are tailor-made for the summer money-makers.

     Michael Bay is one of those directors whose films are targeted for a summer release. His films are meant for the coolness of air-conditioned theaters where the action keeps everything hot for audiences. After summer hits like Bad Boys II, The Island, and, most recently, the Transformers trilogy. This summer, Bay is returning to the world of larger-than-life machines that are set to make our world their battlefield once again.

     In the fourth film of the Transformers film series, set four years after the events of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, a struggling inventor (Mark Wahlberg) and  his daughter (Nicola Peltz) uncover a discovery that brings about the return of the Autobots, the Decepticons, and the government on them. From the trailer, it seems that the Transformers have all been forgotten with the government seeking to remain in control after the events of the war between the Autobots and Decepticons. 

     It seems as though two of our favorite Autobots, Bumblebee and Optimus Prime, are getting an upgrade as they go into battle again against more treacherous villains. Overall, you should expect to see the same destruction and action to come from a Michael Bay film. 

     Transformers: Age of Extinction is scheduled to be released on June 27, 2014.

Movie Preview: Sin City: A Dame to Kill For

     Hello, everyone! I'm sorry that I haven't been around for a while. I should have made a post about the Oscars (Don't worry, it's coming soon!) but there have been some good new previews surging through the internet over the past few days. 

     One preview I have been waiting for finally surfaced. It only took close to nine years but who is counting. 

     To refresh everyone's memory, in 2005, an ensemble cast brought Frank Miller's neo-noir graphic novel to the silver screen in Sin City. The brilliant and visually stunning film gained critical and commercial success with audiences, pleasing fans of the original graphic novels and gaining new fans of Miller's work. 

     After languishing in Hollywood's pre-production hell, this sequel was finally completed and audiences can look to reunite with Miller's dark and unique characters that we met in 2005. Primarily based on the second book of the Sin City series under the same name along with a short story and two new original stories by Miller, the film stars another ensemble cast including returning cast members Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Mickey Rourke, Powers Boothe, and Bruce Willis. New cast members include Eva Green, Josh Brolin, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. 

     Sin City: A Dame to Kill For will burst into theaters August 22.
