Let’s Watch Some Trailers Today!

First up the new Spider-Man: Homecoming Trailer!

For the most part this trailer just gives us a better look at what we have seen before: a longer chat with Tony, a longer glimpse at what happens on the ferry, more Michael Keaton, and more time with Peter’s best friend.  All in all it looks pretty good, though nothing knocked my socks off.

Next up the first official Justice League trailer!

I know this came out a couple of days ago, but sometimes things move a little slow on my blog.  This trailer pretty much features all the footage from last year’s Comic Con, but with better editing and more Aquaman.  Which is great because Aquaman steals the show.  Finally a DC superhero that looks like he is having fun!  I thought that it was going to be up to Barry to deliver all the jokes, but it turns out Arthur has a sense of humor too.  Other than that, this movie uses the same blue and brown color pallet as Batman V Superman, so I am sure that will disappoint quite a few fans.  It is a good trailer, but not a great one, and trailers have never been a problem for Warner Brothers.  Scripts on the other hand…

Tale As Old As Time….

——————–

And now for something a completely different, today Mrs. Shmee wrote the following review for Beauty and the Beast, and spoiler alert, I think she liked it.

——————-

I recently went to see the new Disney adaption of Beauty and the Beast. I wanted to see it but wasn’t dying to see it. However, everywhere and everyone I talked to said YOU MUST SEE IT! I am so glad I did!

We all know the story. I won’t recap that, but the actors playing each of their characters were fantastic. I love (am obsessed with) Emma Watson. She is and will forever be Hermoine, and she was wonderful. The girl can act, no doubt, but she can sing too! The other actors, including Dan Stevens as the Beast, were great as well. Many British actors lent their voices to the notable household objects.

Besides the acting, the costumes, sets, cinematography and music were unbelievable! Next year during Oscar season I can see costumes, make-up, hair, etc being nominated. I thoroughly loved the costume changes.

Then there is the new music. We all know the original songs from the movie, but they added more. I am so glad they did! I will be ordering the soundtrack today. The Beast has his very own song, and it is beautiful. Dan can sing very well.

And our favorite baddie, Gaston (Luke Evans), was just down right perfection! The hair, the smugness, the cockiness and attitude was spot on! I loved Josh Gad as Lefou. He is just fun! I do like the changing of his character. I will just leave it at that.

Also, I might add that I do like that there is more of a back story for the main characters. Not many or any Disney movies offer this information. It was nice to see. Everyone will enjoy this movie. Please go see it.

And again…WELL DONE DISNEY!

Here Is The First Trailer For The New MST3K!

MST3K has been off the air for eighteen years, but that is about to change!  With a new cast and a new channel (platform?), they are ready to make fun of terrible movies for our delight, and I for one cannot wait.  Check out the trailer above then start counting down the days until April 14th!

MST3K Is Back On Netflix And I Watched Time Chasers To Prove It!

Oh how I have missed MST3K not being on any of my streaming media accounts, but that ends now!  Some classic MST3K episodes are now on Netflix, including Manos: The Hands of Fate, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Eegah, and Time Chasers!  This of course is the lead up to the new MST3K episodes coming out in April, but I will take all the MST3K that I can get!  To celebrate this wonderful occasion I watched Time Chasers.

Time Chasers is about a guy who turns his crappy plane in to a Time Machine, and then sells it to an evil corporation.  Who in turn destroys the world, so he has to go back to before he sells the time machine to set everything right again.  Also, the movie was filmed in Vermont.  Which I have been lead to believe is important.

Pretty much everything about Time Chasers is bad, but not in that nothing happens kind of way, which makes it perfect for MST3K.  The show also includes a fun set of sketches about the robots going back in time to stop Mike from getting a temp job as a janitor, so he will not get shot in to space.  It kind of works.

Time Chasers is very funny episode, though for me it ranks in the middle of the pack.  It is definitely one of the best Pearl and Mike episodes though.  If your life has been lacking MST3K, it is time to let it back in, and I couldn’t be happier!  These classic episodes will make the thirty day wait for the new episodes much easier.

The American Gods TV Show Looks A Lot Like The Book!

There used to be a time when you wondered if they would dare to put everything from a book in to a TV show or a movie, not anymore.  All the crazy and horrifying things from American Gods seemed to have made their way to the small screen for the upcoming Starz TV series.  It looks a lot like what I imagined it would look like (for better or worse).  A word of warning, the trailer has no age restriction, but it really should.
