The Future Guardians of the Box Office?

“The trailer becomes Marvel’s biggest teaser ever and is the second-most-watched trailer of any kind after ‘Captain America: Civil War.'”

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 recently debuted its teaser trailer and it’s safe to say that fans have reacted quite positively to this sneak peak.

“The trailer was viewed 81 million times online in 24 hours.”

With this kind of surreal fanfare for the new sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy, perhaps the best thing to do is watch this online and pop culture phenomenon.

This superhero movie (and Baby Groot) looks like a hoot.

Happy Monday!

This past Friday, this blog featured the teaser trailer for the Tom Cruise-led cast of The Mummy.

Today, this blog features the first full length trailer for The Mummy.

Quick question: Is Tom Cruise’s character the mummy…?

That’s just one of the many things we can ponder as we kick-off a new workweek.

Have a Great Week! 

That’s a Wrap (For the Teaser Trailer)

People have an eternal affection for vintage.

Or, in this case, the ancient.

Tom Cruise, Sofia Boutella, Russell Crowe and others have joined forces to bring the world the newest cinematic treatment of ancient Egypt and its magical lore. Deftly titled The Mummy, the first-look (not much of an exaggeration) recently hit the internet.

Looks like Mr. Cruise has yet another mission that seems impossible. The Mummy, depending on the full trailer, may be a movie fans will choose to accept.

You Can’t Stop This Feeling with Siblings

Older siblings have always wondered about their younger brother or sister…

Being an uncle is not only about spending time with and goofing around with nieces and nephews, but also having a legitimate reason to see the newest animated movie as an adult. It’s true. Having been hooked by JT’s (Justin Timberlake’s) catchy song of the summer, “Can’t Stop The Feeling!” for several months, I was looking forward to seeing the movie that featured this song and those famous, crazy-haired troll dolls my older sisters collected way back when.

“Trolls” is in theaters and, lucky for me, one of my nieces invited me to see the latest film in the DreamWorks film roll. Now, since “Trolls” is still new, no spoilers will follow. Instead, what caught my eye was a preview for a new animation from the same movie studio that might have also caught the eye of my niece. She is an older sister to twin baby boys and, perhaps, the trailer below rang somewhat true with her…

and me as well, the youngest of three kids.

Well played, DreamWorks…well played.

P.S. Apparently, political commentator and former Florida congressman Joe Scarborough is the inspiration for the animated father.
