"Earth to Echo" brings to mind a few movies in the sci-fi genre, but in its favor is the completely amazing and seamless effects seen in the trailer. This movie looks promising and fun.

"Guardians of the Galaxy" which will be opening on August 1 will take us even deeper into the Marvel cinematic universe. How deep you ask? How does deep space sound? Make no mistake, not only do these guys inhabit the same universe as The Avengers, but we saw one of their possible adversaries at the end of "Thor: The Dark World". So brace for impact, there may be a possible Avengers/Guardians collision/collusion ahead. Exciting is hardly the word I would use!

 Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" which opens August 1 is part of the next wave in the Marvel cinematic universe. The expectation is that this will eventually lead to an Avengers/Guardians movie. Remember, we've already seen Thanos at the end of "The Avengers" movie and The Collector at the end of "Thor: The Dark World". Stranger things have happened, and even stranger will.

"Lucy" starring Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman is the latest film written and directed by Luc Besson ( "Léon: The Professional", "The Fifth Element"). This is the kick ass action film that will showcase Scarlett Johansson in preparation for her recently announced solo outing as "The Black Widow". There are no words that can adequately express my excitement. Check her out in this trailer as an appetizer.

"Hercules" starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is the second movie this year to feature the legendary hero of myth. However, from all appearances he may possibly the become best movie "Hercules" since the legendary bodybuilder Steve Reeves portrayed the character. Check out the trailer and see what you think.
