Matt Damon Returns as 'Jason Bourne' in Full Trailer

Well, it looks like a Bourne movie. That's about all I can say about this trailer, aside from the Vegas chase scene, which does look pretty cool. The thing about the Bourne movies is that when they were originally coming out, the Greengrass style of frenetic, hardcore action filmmaking was so revolutionary that it took hold of the genre immediately and every action movie in its wake was somewhat ripping it off. So now, all these years later, it's no longer as different as it once felt. But Greengrass is still a great director, so if anyone can pull off a good one, it's him. We'll see. I also don't really buy Alicia Vikander in the role of CIA agent or whatever it is she's playing here. The first three cast character actors Chris Cooper, Joan Allen and David Straithairn in those parts- people who looked and seemed like government officials if nothing else. But the baby-faced, lovely Vikander? Yeah, not so much.

Emily Blunt Turns On the Waterworks for 'The Girl on the Train'

Speaking of blah, this adaptation of the bestselling thriller looks an awful lot like Gone Girl, which I understand the book was as well. Not convinced this will be any good, especially coming from director Tate Taylor, the guy who helmed The Help and Get On Up. Also, I gotta be honest- I don't know what it is about Emily Blunt, but she's never really struck me as having much screen presence or charisma. Can't see her carrying a movie like this.

First Teaser Trailer Drops for Sundance Hit 'The Birth of a Nation'

I guess this film about the Nat Turner slave rebellion has to qualify as the first Oscar buzzed movie of the year, since it was a longtime passion project from writer-director-star Nate Parker and won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance. But tellingly, Parker chose Fox Searchlight to be the distributor after a bidding war with Netflix coming out the highest bidder, and then they went with a prime October 7th release date, so if you think this movie's not chasing Oscars you got another thing coming. To be honest, there was some lukewarm critical reaction to the movie itself when it debuted, but that will probably not matter in the end with this one. After the controversy of OscarSoWhite for the second year in a row, the truth is if this movie's even half decent there's no way it's getting ignored. So be on the lookout for it.

Benedict Cumberbatch Takes on an American Accent in First Trailer for 'Doctor Strange'

Whoa. For some reason, when everyone was clamoring for Cumberbatch to play Doctor Strange to the point where his eventual casting couldn't have seemed any more inevitable, I thought what they wanted was essentially his Sherlock-ian british genius character. Hearing him do an american accent here is kinda odd, to say the least, right? Other than that odd little detail, the movie looks kinda cool. Not so much like the other Marvel movies, which is a good thing for variety (although I'm sure the studio will do whatever it takes to make it palatable with the brand). Doctor Strange is primed for a Thanksgiving release date. But I still wish Cumby was a brit.

More Magic in New Trailer for 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'

That familiar John Williams score accompanies the new trailer for this Harry Potter spin-off, and it's once again being directed by David Yates, who helmed the last four Potter movies, so we probably have an idea what this will be like. I was a big Potter book fan once upon a time, but I never actually read this one, so my interest isn't as high. Plus I'm not a big Eddie Redmayne fan either, as you might recall. But it doesn't look bad exactly, and WB wants to mine their other successful franchise for all it's worth.

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.
