Spidey Shows Up in New 'Civil War' Trailer

Well, that's the last two seconds, but I'm pretty sure that's all anyone will be talking about today. It's amazing that we can have six Spider-Man movies over the last decade and a half, but people still get more excited to see him than anyone else. The cast is really hyping this movie as the end all be all of superhero epics, but watching all the Avengers split up and fight each other doesn't look that interesting to me. And there's just no way this movie isn't going to feel insanely bloated with a two and a half hour runtime AND all these characters showing up. I know it's trying to compete with the Batman/Superman movie this year, but sometimes it's just too much.

International 'Ghostbusters' Trailer Shows More Chris Hemsworth

Okay, this international trailer is better than that first one- even if there's not a whole lot particularly funny in it, at least the cast chemistry is more cohesive. That was the most surprising thing about that other trailer, and we can clearly see now that Kristen Wiig is NOT sleepwalking through this, which is good. There's still some hope. I actually have to wonder if this may have been released so quickly in light of the response to the first one...

Susan Sarandon Stars in 'The Meddler'

It's been a long time since Susan Sarandon headlined a movie, hasn't it? Now she's starring in the new film by Lorene Scafaria, director of indies Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist and Seeking a Friend For the End of the World, as an older mom getting back into the dating scene. It actually looks kinda cute, but I may be giving it the benefit of the doubt, because Seeking a Friend was totally underrated and ought to be seen by more people.

First Look at Pedro Almodovar's New Film 'Julieta'

Now this on the other hand, looks good. Almodovar's last movie was pretty much dismissed, but he's not the kind of director who misses often, and this one looks to be back in his wheelhouse. I don't know when we'll get to see it, however. It's coming out in Spain in April, but nothing yet on release dates for other countries. Maybe it will show up in Cannes though.

Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig in New 'Ghostbusters' Trailer

This is one of the most hyped and anticipated comedies of the year, but I don't know. Does this trailer seem extremely underwhelming to anyone else? There's nothing particularly funny about it, everything just seems to fall flat. Not to mention the energy seems off, somehow. Kristen Wiig of all people looks like she just plain doesn't want to be there. I hope this is just a bad trailer and that the movie turns out to be a whole lot better, but I half wonder if the fact that the previous Feig/McCarthy collaborations all being R-rated might have something to do with the listlessness in this one, which is PG-13. Huh.

New Trailer for Pixar's 'Finding Dory'

I realized as I watched this trailer that I could not possible care less about Dory or this movie. The joke about her short term memory loss was honestly never that funny to me, and everything else about Finding Nemo is what made it a good movie, not her. Sorry, Dory fans. I know I'm in the minority on that, but that's honestly how I feel about this character, so watching a movie where she's center stage? Not that interested.
