One of the coolest pieces of viral marketing I've seen in a long time was the cryptic, distorted transmission from General Zod (Michael Shannon) warning the people of Earth that indeed they were not alone in the universe. Not the standard trailer/poster/TV spot approach, that video for Zack…

Man, Gore Verbinski sure does love action sequences. Granted, he is making an action movie so I suppose it helps, but at what point does mayhem just get to be white noise? I offer you that question as you watch this latest trailer for 'The Lone Ranger.' I'm still getting an uncomfortable …

James Mangold's 'The Wolverine' must vie for the top summer superhero spot with both Superman and Iron Man. Luckily, with his adamantium claws and raging anger management issues, something tells me Logan is going to hold his own just fine. This latest trailer for…

Next week, Todd Phillips brings back The Wolf Pack for their third big screen misadventure. Today, a brand new red-band trailer for 'The Hangover III' has landed online. The first minute or so of the trailer is sort of a "greatest hits" from the two previous films. Then we get into some of the raunchier jokes from part…

The latest trailer for Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim' is being referred to as its "official main" trailer. If that's the case, were those first two spectacular previews we got just teasers? I suppose you could easily make that case when compared with this one, which boasts a metric ton of new footage. It's an…

For a long time, we've been hearing about 'Riddick,' the third cinematic adventure featuring Vin Diesel's character from 'Pitch Black.' It was relegated to whispers, however, for quite a while and it seemed that perhaps it was a dead…

Though TV news doesn't often populate our Cool S**T section, it's hard to ignore the small screen spinoff of Joss Whedon's big screen adaptation of Marvel's 'The Avengers.' 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' will follow the adventures of a crack team of…

Most of the time, when sci-fi movies are terrifying it's because of some ravenous alien creature that sneaks aboard a human spaceship or on whose home planet our heroes find themselves. 'Gravity' on the other hand, is terrifying for the worst-case, but very possible, scenario it puts forth. Directed by Alfonso Cuaron…

Joel and Ethan Coen are two of the most accomplished filmmakers in the industry. But more than that, they are master storytellers. This is the reason that even when the trailers for their new films aren't terribly exciting, I still find myself greatly anticipating each and every upcoming project of theirs. Such is the case…

We've been waiting patiently, ok maybe not too patiently for the first trailer for Edgar Wright's 'The World's End.' Finally, FINALLY, it has arrived. I can honestly say it is everything I had hoped for from the conclusion of the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy. It has a definite …

Last week we were shown some teaser footage for Gavin Hood's 'Ender's Game' with the assurance that the trailer would hit the web today...and indeed here it is. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Hood adapts Orson Scott Card's…

Amid all the superheroes and sequels of 2013, it is easy to forget that the big screen adaptation of Orson Scott Card's 'Ender's Game' is also hitting theaters this year. Starring Asa Butterfield,…

I often find myself going back-and-forth on the decision as to which summer 2013 movie is my most anticipated. Luckily, this latest trailer for Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim,' from Las Vegas CinemaCon, has definitively settled the issue. Holy flinging ships! This thing is mind-melting, and reveals a dazzling…

I'd say we need to fasten our seatbelts in anticipation of the arrival of Justin Lin's 'Fast & Furious 6,' but let's face it, the way these guys drive that seat belt would do little to protect us. Today, the final trailer for the action-packed sequel has arrived online. There is plenty of new footage in this…

In many instances, apart from some subtitles or narration dubs, there is no difference between an American trailer for a major studio release and its foreign counterpart. However, this latest Japanese trailer for J.J. Abrams' 'Star Trek Into Darkness' has a few snippets of new footage and, most notably, a shot…

And here it is. After months of nothing but still images and plot synopses, we finally have the first trailer for Alan Taylor's 'Thor: The Dark World.' There is a lot to dig about this trailer; the battle sequences, the clearly-defined stakes involving Jane Foster (…

The trailers we've seen up to now for Zack Snyder's 'Man of Steel' have contained roughly 75-90% of the same footage from one to the next. Bit by bit a new new shot would be added, creeping in here and there, but we weren't really getting a sense of the full scope of the film. This latest, three-minute trailer on the…

Holy tap-dancing Tribbles! The final trailer for J.J. Abrams' 'Star Trek Into Darkness' is here! This trailer has loads of new footage and really plays up the life-and-death stakes for our intrepid Enterprise crew. It's clear disaster is looming, but when Kirk turns to the crew and simply…

With all the giant movies hitting theaters this summer, it's easy to forget that we're also getting the second film in 'The Hunger Games' franchise in November. Francis Lawrence's 'Catching Fire' will bring back 74th…

The movie featured at last year's Comic-Con that generated the most excitement for me was easily 'Elysium.' Directed by Neill Blomkamp ('District 9'), 'Elysium' takes place in a distant future wherein the Earth is so ruined…
