More Jokes in New 'Suicide Squad' Trailer

So, WB has ordered tens of millions of dollars worth of re-shoots to make this movie funny, and this new trailer keeps using pop songs to make audiences think the same, so I guess it really needs to deliver on that score. It does look more lighthearted than Batman/Superman, but anything that gets chopped up like this months before the release is suspect, in my opinion. We'll see how the finished product actually turns out on August 5th.

Ricky Gervais is Back in 'David Brent: Life on the Road'

Ricky Gervais reprises his iconic character from the original UK version of The Office (or as I like to call it, the true version), as he takes the world's most cringeworthy former boss on tour for his attempt to make it as a singer-songwriter. He obviously loves playing this guy, but I'd like to see them do another reunion movie that reunites all the original cast. What are Tim and Dawn up to these days (as I like to think of them, the far superior and more realistic versions of Jim and Pam)? In case you couldn't tell, just about everything about that original show was absolutely perfect in my mind, so I'd love to catch up with that group.

Anna Kendrick and Sam Rockwell in Black Comedy 'Mr. Right'

It's always weird now when I see trailers for what looks like a perfectly normal movie with legitimate name actors, in this case a black comedy rom-com, but it turns out it's coming straight to digital release and on demand. Are non-blockbuster films just dwindling to the point where the only thing that makes it to theaters now are movies that are part of franchises? So depressing. I don't even know if this will be good or not, but it certainly doesn't look like it should be relegated to on demand only.

Dirty Jokes Come Out in Red-Band Trailer for 'Neighbors 2'

Eh. Still not into it. The first Neighbors was just okay, and to me this one looks to be doubling down on the problem with Rose Byrne in the first movie, which is the idea that girls can be fun, but only by being exactly like boys and doing what they want them to do. Let's be honest- sororities are different from fraternities. They might have just as bad behavior, but in totally different ways, because girls are different. But this is a Seth Rogen movie, so of course they just want to redo the first one. Meh.

Felicity Jones Gears Up in 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' Teaser

Here we go with the now annual Star Wars hype. This time it's The Theory of Everything's Felicity Jones in the lead, as we see what went down with the building of the original Death Star before the first Star Wars movie in 1977. I think this doesn't look bad, but I have a couple of nitpicks, as is inevitable and kinda part of the ritual for anything SW-related these days, and why not? The material no longer belongs to George Lucas, but to the general public, and since the films are now being driven by fan fiction, it's my turn to chime in. One, why does everyone in the Star Wars universe now have british accents all of a sudden? Do they think that makes everything look and sound more "serious"? And two, if this Jyn Erso character turns out to be Rey's mother, as I'm almost certain is going to happen, I really really hope Luke is not her dad, because I HATE the idea of him having had a totally offscreen, but apparently very important, relationship that we were never privy to. Other than that, this one was directed by Godzilla's Gareth Edwards, so if anything, I'm sure it's going to be more visually stylish than The Force Awakens. And by the way, that IS actually Genevieve O'Reilly reprising her role as Mon Mothma, apparently with the aide of the same tech that was used to put Michael Douglas's 1980's face back on his head in Ant-Man. Oh god. They're not going to do that for Luke with Mark Hamill, are they?

Mark Rylance is a Giant in 'The BFG' Trailer

I don't quite know what to think of this movie, since I never read the Roald Dahl book it's based on. And Spielberg hasn't done a family film in a long time, so who knows how this one could turn out. But with a screenplay from the late Melissa Mathison, there's some hope that it could end up being worthwhile, as long as they get the CGI rendered giants right. Newly minted Oscar winner Mark Rylance takes on the key role of the giant here, and the movie's coming out July 1st. Here's hoping.
