Trailer: The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials


Here’s the trailer for the second installment in The Maze Runner franchise.  Did I like the first Maze Runner?  According to the review that I posted on this site, I thought it was above average but I think it’s definitely telling that I can barely remember a thing about it.

Hopefully, The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials will be a little bit more memorable.

And finally, here’s the final Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part Two Trailer!


Jennifer Lawrence

Below, you’ll find the last Hunger Games trailer ever!

The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2 comes to theaters on November 20th and I can tell you already that tears will flow from my mismatched, heterochromatic eyes when it’s all over.  Much like Sharknado, The Hunger Games has truly become a part of our shared culture and it’s hard to imagine a world with no new installments on the horizon.

Watch the trailer below and then read Leonard Wilson’s review of the first Hunger Games.

And then after you read Leonard’s take, read Leon The Duke’s review.

And then check out my review of Catching Fire.

And finally, read my thoughts on the first part of Mockingjay!

Enjoy!

 

Here’s The Trailer for Potential Oscar Nominee Freeheld!


So, here we are.  Nearly halfway through the year and we’re still waiting for a major Oscar contender to emerge.  There’s been a lot of speculation about films such as Carol, Bridge of Spies, and Suffragette.  However, this month, two new contenders have emerged.

One of those contenders is David O. Russell’s latest tribute to Jennifer Lawrence, Joy.

The other contender is Freeheld, which is based on a true story about lesbian homicide detective (Julianne Moore) who, after being diagnosed with cancer, fought a legal battle to allow her pension benefits to be left to her domestic partner (played by Ellen Page, who is due another Oscar nomination and probably should have won for both Juno and Super).  Along with Page, both Julianne Moore and Steve Carell have been mentioned as possible nominees.

Check out the trailer below.

Trailer: One & Two


Here’s the trailer for One & Two, which appears to be a big mix of sci-fi, fantasy, and rural family melodrama.  The trailer feels a bit like a mix of Interstellar, If I Stay, and Tomorrowland.

(And maybe a little bit of Looper — then again, any movie that takes place on a far reminds me of Looper.)

One & Two comes out on August 14th.

Here’s the Trailer for The Revenant!


Here’s the first trailer for The Revenant, director Alejandro Inarritu’s follow-up to the Oscar-winning Birdman, which I thought was overrated but everyone else in the world seemed to love it.

A lot of people are speculating that The Revenant could be a major player in the 2015 Oscar race and the trailer certainly does look exciting.  Leonardo DiCaprio has never won an Oscar and Tom Hardy has never even been nominated, so both of them are due for a little Academy love.  Plus, The Revenant co-stars the suddenly very prolific Domhnall Gleeson, who was great in both Ex Machina and Unbroken and who is destined to be nominated some day.
