See the Trailer for Terrence Malick's 'Voyage of Time'

This long gestating documentary project from the illusive filmmaker Terrence Malick is finally coming out this year, and in IMAX at that. It's written and directed by Malick, about the origins of the universe, from its birth to final collapse. For anyone who saw Tree of Life, this should look vaguely familiar, as that film took elements of his vision for this one in the birth of the universe segment. Ennio Morricone did the score for this, and it was his first collaboration with Malick since Days of Heaven, interestingly enough. There will be two versions of this film- a 40-minute IMAX one narrated by Brad Pitt and a feature length version narrated by Cate Blanchett. It's hard to know how much interest there will be after the failure of his last two films though.

Miles Teller Goes for an Oscar in 'Bleed For This'

You can't tell me that's not what he had in mind when he signed up for this movie, right? Playing real life boxer Vinny Paz, who on top of the boxing thing, actually got into a life threatening injury from a car accident, was told he'd never walk again, and came back from that to ultimate victory? Sounds like all the requisite cliches are in there, that's for sure. And Martin Scorsese produces it too. I don't think Miles Teller has enough good will from other actors, but if he's that good in this, I guess it could happen. He's made it clear in interviews he wants it badly enough. We'll see when this comes out in November. 

Bryan Cranston and James Franco Face Off in 'Why Him?'

Ugh. A cheaper, even more sitcom-y version of Meet the Parents. Why, Bryan Cranston, why? His post- Breaking Bad film career hasn't exactly been spectacular, has it? The premise of these kinds of movies is just ridiculous, and it's always centered on making the girl look like as big an idiot as possible, even though she's clearly supposed to be an afterthought, because it's all about the battle between the boyfriend and the dad. But she's the one who picked the asshole, right? So to me it's always clear who the real villain is. Blech.

Tom Hanks Pulls Off the Miracle on the Hudson in 'Sully' Trailer

Clint Eastwood's latest takes us back to the day that "Sully" Sullenberger heroically landed that plane on the Hudson river and saved every person on board...and then apparently was the subject of an investigation into the incident and what might have gone wrong. When I first heard about this movie, I did wonder exactly what the story was going to be, since I'm not sure that other than the incident itself, Sully had anything other than an ordinary pilot's life before or since. If there were some repercussions to what happened that day I certainly never heard about them, and probably not too many others know either. So maybe there is more to it after all.

Jamie Dornan and Sarah Gadon Star in 'The 9th Life of Louis Drax'

This is one of those tearjerker mystery movies about a kid who cheats death and a doctor who goes Inception on him to find out the truth in the kid's unconscious mind. Super cheesy, I know. When will Jamie Dornan get to finally be in a good movie? He was SO good on that show The Fall, with Gillian Anderson and he's getting stuck in the 50 Shades of Grey movies and now this. Too bad.

See the Second Look at 'Bridget Jones's Baby'

I wonder if there will be any interest in this movie when it comes out in September. It actually doesn't look AS bad as that second one did, but come on. Choosing between Patrick Dempsey and Colin Firth? And I hate to say this, but...I don't totally buy that Bridget could just get pregnant by accident with her first child in her late forties. I guess it happens sometimes, but that's extremely uncommon, especially with your first baby. As a premise, it's a little bit distracting, actually.

Kate Mara in the Trailer for Sci-Fi 'Morgan'

This looks a little more interesting from today's batch of new trailers, a sci-fi/horror flick that's the directorial debut of Ridley Scott's son Luke. Actually, it looks kinda reminiscent of Ex Machina, with Anya Taylor-Joy, from The Witch, playing the human-esque creature who goes nuts on everyone after being experimented on. The release date of September 2nd is questionable though- usually if a studio thinks it's got something good that's not the best spot to place it in, so obviously Fox is unsure about this one. But it caught my attention.

Maria Bello Stars in Horror Movie 'Lights Out'

With Don't Breathe and now Lights Out, it looks like there's a new trend in horror movies for really simple concepts easy to fill with jump scares. It doesn't look too bad, but I'm just not much of a fan of this James Wan style of horror, which seems to me to be mostly packed with false starts, followed by things constantly jumping out at you from the side of the room, around the corner, etc. There are other ways to do horror, but I guess not for mainstream audiences right now.

New 'Star Trek Beyond' Trailer Debuts Rihanna Song

Just when I was happy that the trailers for this were getting better, they decide to release a third one with a new Rihanna song attached to it. Is a Star Trek movie really the best place to do that? Is this song in the movie? Clearly Paramount is confused who the audience is for this and is just trying to attract a younger crowd, but come on. Aside from that oddity, this still looks better, but I'm weary. Not that it matters of course. For this one I'll be there it even if it sucks.

Trailer for Ewan McGregor's Directorial Debut 'American Pastoral'

Even though this is McGregor's first film, it actually looks kind of intriguing. Although, perhaps I'm being fooled by the music in the trailer. Based on the Pulitzer prize winning novel by Philip Roth, it's about a man conflicted by the turmoil of the late 60's and 70's, and it looks like Dakota Fanning is playing his activist teenage daughter here. May be one to keep an eye on.
