"Avengers Assemble" which is supposed to be a follow-up to the highly popular series  "Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes", although that remains to be seen. This new series at least, closely follows or ties into Marvel's "The Avengers" to capitalize on the film's success, which is what it was designed to do. The series is scheduled to premiere on July 7, 2013, with a 1-hour preview of the series airing on May 26.  

 

 

 

                                                                          

 

 

   Here's the trailer for the videogame "Batman: Arkham Origins" and as usual these trailers look so freakin' awesome you want to see a whole movie done like this. Hint hint. I'm just saying. The game is scheduled for worldwide release on October 25, 2013.

 

 

                                                                           

 

Weekend Box Office - "Iron Man 3" was number one for the second week in a row with $72.5 million, Director Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" based on F. Scott Fitzgerald novel was number two with $51.1 million, and rounding out the top three "Pain & Gain" with Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson brought in $5 million.

 

 

 

                                                                          

 

 

   Opening this week, Director J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek Into Darkness" the second of a trilogy of reimagined Star Trek movies. The movie opens Thursday and promises to be bigger and better than the first in the series. They have already done bigger numbers in England and other International markets than the previous movie.

 

 

 

                                                                                      

 

 

 

                                                                                  

 

 

 

 

 Due in large part to the success of "Marvel's The Avengers" and the fact that Disney, Marvel, and ABC television are one big happy family. The movie's director Joss Whedon has produced a new series for ABC "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."  featuring Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson. This show follows the events of the movie and references Coulson apparent demise. I have great hope for this show, mostly due to Whedon's involvement in the project.  

 

 

 

 

                                                                                    

 

This is the week is the week for season finales, first up CW's hit show "Arrow" ends a successful first season. Instead of attempting to explain this action packed edgy show, I instead present the "sizzle reel" from the 2012 New York Comic Con.

 

 

 

                                                                                 

 

 

 "Doctor Who" ends another successful season with an episode that has created a whole lot of buzz with a simple title "The Name of The Doctor". There is a lot of speculation that this episode leads to the 50th Anniversary Special which premieres in England this coming November. We may get it a bit later. Here's the season finale trailer to fire your imagination.

 

 

 

                                                                           

 

 

Weekend Box Office - "Iron Man 3" ruled the box office making a whopping $175.3 million in its opening weekend, "Pain & Gain" fell to number two with $7.6 million, and the Jackie Robinson biopic "42" was number three with $6.2 million.

Also out today on Bluray/DVD "Jack Reacher" starring Tom Cruise as the enigmatic former army cop out to prove a man convicted of killing five random people was framed.

 

 

                                                                             

 

 

                                                                      

 Hugh Jackman will return to his signature character Wolverine in two upcoming movies "X-Men: Days of Future Past" which will blend the casts of "The X-Men trilogy" and "X-Men: The First Class"; and the very soon to be released "The Wolverine". This movie promises to make up for the very disappointing "X-Men Origins: Wolverine". Logan meets the female ronin Yukio and returning to Japan where he meets her employer Yashida, a Japanese industrialist he saved as P.O.W. during W.W.II. Soon , he's embroiled in a conflict that involves the Clan Yashida, Silver Samurai, The Viper (Madame Hydra in the comics), and ninjas. To complicate matters, he's undergoing a treatment to remove his healing factor and the adamatium  to become "normal". This already sounds like a thrill a minute kick ass epic movie. Don't take my word for it. Check out this movie's trailer.

 

 

 

                                                                              

 

 

 

Weekend Box Office -  "Pain & Gain" starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson was number one with $20 million, Tom Cruise's sci-fi  movie "Oblivion" came in at number two with $17.4 million, and "42" the Jackie Robinson biopic rounded out the top three with $10.7 million.

 

 

 

                                                                         

 

 

The highly anticipated sequel to "The Hunger Games" is upcoming and the first trailer making the rounds. "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" looks to be as exciting as the first movie.

 

 

 

                                                                              

 

 

 

                                                                                   

 

 

 

 

The remake of the classic horror movie based on the Stephen King novel of the same name has been remade starring Julianne Moore and Chloe Grace Moretz in the title role.

 

 

                                                                            

  

                                                                              

 

 

  Finally, after years of waiting there is a sequel to "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief". I really enjoyed that movie and knew that since they're based on a series of books that there was a good possibility for sequels. Logan Lehrman returns as the half-human son of the Olympian god Poseidon. The first movie set up the world in which the half mortal children of the Olympians train as heroes and face perils much like their half-human predecessors did centuries ago. 

 

 

 

                                                                              

 

 

I am looking forward to seeing this movie especially since it looks like an edgy retelling of the classic. "The Lone Ranger" starring Armie Hammer  and Johnny Depp. Talk about edgy, wait until you see Johnny Depp as Tonto. Awesome.

Marvel Studios has released a trailer for "Thor: The Dark World". Following the events that took place in "The Avengers". Thor battles the Dark Elves led by the evil Malekith the Accursed who intends to plunge the universe back into darkness. Brace yourself it looks epic.  

 

 

 

                                                                                



                                                                                

 

 

The latest trailer for "The Man of Steel" was released by Warner Bros. last week and it set the web on fire. We finally get  to see more of Jor-el and Lara, General Zod, Ma and Pa Kent, and of course, Lois Lane. In case you're one of the few people who missed seeing it check it out.

 

 

 

                                                                          

 

 

R.I.P.D. which stands for Rest In Peace Department is based on the Dark Horse comic by Peter M. Lenkov. The movie stars Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges. The trailer is a great intro to the characters and the story, so I'll let the trailer do it's job.

 

 

                                                                             

 

 

Finally, the sequel to "Kick-Ass" and what a doozy of a sequel it promises to be. This was the mild trailer for the movie and wait 'til you get a load of Jim Carrey. Wow! I literally did a double take. Enjoy.

The new Syfy television series "Defiance" aired last night and it did not disappoint. The show is a visual treat and well woven tale of humans and aliens working together in a town that signifies a new beginning on a very transformed Planet Earth.  

 

 

                                   

 

                                                                                                                                                                    

 

 

 

 

                                                                              

 

 

 

 

 The new movie featuring Matt Damon and Jodie Foster is a classic tale of the have and the have nots told with a science fiction twist. It promises to be a feast for the eyes and definitely fodder for the imagination. Don't take my word check out this trailer especially for how different both of the movie's stars look.

 

 

          

 

                                                                                       

 

The new Star Trek movie comes out next month and in a recent interview J.J.Abrams  revealed that he is very excited for this movie's release and that the energy and scope of this movie is far greater than the previous movie. 

 

 

 

                                                                                  

 

 

 From the director of "Phantasm" and "Bubba Hotep" comes what promises to be a new cult favorite. Describing this movie is  an exercise in futility. Check out the trailer and see exactly what I mean. The movie is currently available on Bluray and DVD.

  As we get closer to the release date for "Iron Man 3" we also get more trailers and TV spots which reveal some juicy tidbits. This latest one reveals a surprise relating to Tony Stark's executive assistant/girlfriend Pepper Potts. I'm so looking forward to this movie.

 

 

 

                                                                                                                

 

 

 

 

 

                                                                                

 

 

 

 

 If you thought that first trailer for Brad Pitt's zombie apocalypse movie "World War Z" was intense, then check out this new trailer. Brace yourself.

 

 

 

                                                                         

 

 

                                                                 

  The only way to set up the trailer for the movie "The Purge" is that in the tradition of all speculative fiction it takes place in a possible future where America is experiencing greater peace and prosperity than ever before, but at a cost. One night a year, for 12 hours all crime is legal, especially murder. Check this trailer out.
