Trailer Alert – Final ‘LOGAN’ Trailer
There’s not much that needs to be said about this trailer; so i’ll just leave you with a Kevin Smith tweet about it.
If you want proof that God really exists, all you need to do is look at something beautiful. Like that @WolverineMovie trailer. Holy shit…

Trailer ALERTS – John Wick 2 & Blade Runner 2049
Hold on to your butts…

Trailer Alert – Dunkirk
Christopher Nolan makes big screen movies. Whether it’s Inception or Interstellar or any of the Dark Knight’s, any movie he directs is meant to be watched on the biggest stage possible. Dunkirk, his latest effort which is based on the Battle of Dunkirk from World War II, is no different. The trailer mixes beautiful cinematography with intense action, and few filmmakers are able to combine those two better than Nolan. There’s not much I can say that will do this trailer justice, so give it a watch and clear your schedule this summer. Dunkirk is going to be an event in IMAX.

Trailer Alert – The Fate of the Furious
In what seems like an eternity since the last “Fast” movie, last night, the new trailer dropped….AND IT’S GLORIOUS.
WHAT. IN. THE. BLUE. HELL! Dom turned on the gang?! (More on heel turns later) It can’t be true. I don’t want it to be true. But I love it anyway! THIS is the way you keep the series fresh. Listen, I don’t go to my dvd collection of every Fast and Furious movie for deep and intricate plots or Daniel Day-Lewis type of immersion acting. I go to it for fast fun with cars, girls and a killer soundtrack–Something every Fast and Furious movie delivers on. Is it a bonus that they found a way to up the ante? Sure it is, but let’s be perfectly clear, this movie was going to be awesome no matter what. Three movies, or so, ago, they delivered a shot of adrenaline to the franchise in the form of a 6’5″ Samoan ball of charisma named Dwayne Johnson. And I feel like this movie is the sweet spot for his story arc. He brings balance to plot. Because, lets face it, if The Rock wasn’t there and Dom turned on his crew (with no Paul…RIP) they wouldn’t stand a chance, and the movies would be a little far-fetched. I do realize I just used “far-fetched” to describe a hypothetical plot when in the actual movies characters jump supercars from one skyscraper to the next via windows. I do realize that.
So, Dom turns bad and in return Kurt Russel sends for Jason Statham to join the gang after he and the rock escape maximum security prison. Everyone knows that the best part of pro wrestling is your favorite superstar going to the dark side and turning heel. The only thing close to as satisfying to a baby face heel turn, is a heel baby face turn. Which is exactly what is happening with the Transporter, Jason Statham. Black is white! Night is day! Our pets heads’ are falling off! Chaos in Fast and Furious land and I love it.
The rest of the trailer is high octane fun, with nuclear subs, tanks, wrecking balls and fast cars. The rest of the gang is back for this one too: Roman, Letty, Tej and even the Mother of Dragon’s secretary! Stacked cast, but…is it too much to ask to bring back these guys…
Get out the freeze chamber and put me down until this movie hits theaters!

DAMN, DOM. YOU COLD AS ICE!
Trailer Alert – Spider-Man: Homecoming
The moment the MCU has been waiting for, for so long, is here!
PETER PARKER IS BACK…again. Regardless of the previous Spider-mens shortcomings, we should all be hyped for the first Spider-Man that will be woven into the MCU.

Trailer Alert – Baywatch
Once The Rock signed on and started promoting the shit out of the Baywatch remake, I knew it was going to be a fun movie. It’s one of those movies where you don’t even need to watch the trailer or read a plot synopsis. The Rock and Zac Efron will be busting each other’s balls the whole film, and when they’re not doing that, they’ll be saving innocent bystanders or running around with their shirts off. Alexandra Daddario and Kelly Rohrbach, two of the hottest women on the planet, compliment The Rock and Efron like chocolate compliments strawberries. It’s a perfect mix of actors/characters and I’ll be honest with you, I didn’t even watch the trailer. It’s not necessary, because I’ll bet my entire collection of marbles that this movie dominates Memorial Day 2017 and turns into one of those movies you’ll be able to watch a million times over.

Trailer Alert – Transformers The Last Knight
The Last Knight Trailer OUT OF NOWHERE!
All about this movie. ALL about it. I didn’t think I was going to make it after hearing that Shia wasn’t coming back for ‘Age of Extinction’, but Marky Mark turned out to be a suitable replacement in one of my favorite (fight me) franchises going right now. This trailer shows some old faces (from the first 3 movies) and some fresh faces, which is a nice way of tying all of the movies together. Could we maybe see a surprise appearance by Shia in this one? Not likely, unfortunately. But a man can dream.

PS – Here’s a trailer breakdown from Nerdist for a closer look.
Trailer Alert – Wonder Woman
GET HYPED PEOPLE. THE AMAZON IS HERE!
GOOSEBUMP CITY. First off, can I move to Themyscira? What’s the cost of living compared to RI? Taxes HAVE to be better. I think this trailer speaks for itself. There’s Nothing I can add that hasn’t already been decocted from this trailer. This movie looks dope. Plain and simple.
PS – I’m just going to call Chris Pine’s character “Captain Kirk”, If that’s ok with everyone. It better fits into the Star Trek fan faction i’m writing.
