First Trailer for the 'Warcraft' Movie is Released

The general rule is that movies based on videogames are pretty fucking awful, and I don't think the new Warcraft movie is going to break the mold, at least not based on this trailer. It's not really a rule, it's just a historical trend- for some reason they have not been able to make a successfully cinematic film based on a game in all the years they've been trying, and they've been trying for a LONG time. Paula Patton, Ben Foster and Dominic Cooper lend their human faces to this highly animated world, but I wouldn't get your hopes up for this one, Warcraft fans.

Trailer for Spike Lee's 'Chi-Raq' Comes Out

Spike Lee, recipient of this year's Honorary Oscar next Saturday night, keeps making movies, despite the fact that his films continue to have a hard time securing distribution. This one will be the first film distributed by Amazon, and will have a limited release on Dec. 4th followed by an Amazon Instant Video premiere soon after. Looks a little nutty, but hopefully in a good way. At least the subject matter is timely and hot button, in line with Lee's ouvre.

International 'Star Wars' Trailer Debuts New Footage

So, there's a LOT more footage in this Japanese trailer for The Force Awakens, and I guess I'm going to have to take back my assumption that the Daisy Ridley character is Han and Leia's daughter, because she wouldn't have a British accent if she was, right? You get to see her front and center for this one and more of the story than the other two trailers have given us combined. Looks pretty good so far.

Will Smith Takes on the NFL in New Trailer for 'Concussion'

Who knows if this will be any good or not, but the NFL is already panicking about the subject matter, so if this manages to draw attention to the issue and shed some much needed light on the head trauma afflicting football players than it's a good thing. Supposedly it's been screening for SAG members in the last couple weeks and Will Smith at least is getting a good reception for his performance here- that's a refreshing change for him of late. He could maybe land his third Oscar nod if the movie manages decent enough reviews when it comes out at Christmas. It's hard to know if audiences will be interested in seeing a movie so damaging to America's favorite sport, though- this is kinda like the anti-Blind Side, even if it's the truth.

Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska are Back in 'Alice Through the Looking Glass' Trailer

After that pointless little teaser the other day, the full trailer has promptly arrived, and I don't really know what to say other than it looks about the same as the first one. Whether that's a good or bad thing depends on if you liked that film or not, which I really did not. But it was such an inexplicably massive hit that I assume this one is going to do just as well. It's so not for me though. That first one was painful and boring enough.

New Trailer Debuts for Tarantino's 'The Hateful Eight'

So yeah, this looks pretty awesome to me, but the story right now surrounding Tarantino and the movie is about how he's currently involved in the the stupidest "scandal" since last year's The Interview debacle, in my opinion. I guess it's not as big as that yet, but come on, the country's police unions banding together to officially boycott his movies because he spoke out against police brutality? Somebody's making fools of themselves here, and it's not Quentin Tarantino. Police should really have better things to do with their time and resources, don't you think? I don't think it'll hurt the movie in the slightest, since Tarantino's fans follow him anywhere.
