"Fantastic Four" teaser recently hit the internet courtesy of 20th Century Fox. This new version of Marvel's first family caused quite a stir when the cast was revealed and as well as some story and character elements.

"Terminator Genisys" is the latest offering in the franchise, and this time they have completely flipped the script. Arnold is back as variety of  Terminators and as Sarah Connor indicates in the trailer "The rules have changed." No kidding!

"Strange Magic" is an animated fantasy adventure that can hardly be described as typical. Despite a premise that we are all too familiar with the movie goes off on all kinds of tangents. Be warned! This story came from the mind of George Lucas. Draw whatever conclusion you need to from that.

"Ant-Man" had a previous teaser trailer that had to be seen to be believed. I'll just say that unless you could radically increase the magnification on your television or computer screen you wouldn't see no squat. Nice gag, Marvel! Here's the new teaser that's much easier on the vision.

"Into the Woods" starring Meryl Streep and featuring an all-star cast is a modern musical mash-up of the stories of the Brothers Grimm. The movie ties together the different stories and characters to that of a baker and his wife sent on a quest by a witch in order to remove a curse on them.

"The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" opens nationwide on Friday.

"Night At the Museum: Secret of the Tomb" opens this Christmas. The movie is the third installment in the series and it brings back everyone and everything we love about this series. This movie was wrapped and finished before comedian Robin Williams passing, so we get one more look at him reprising his role as President Teddy Roosevelt. I am personally looking forward to this one.
