2015: The year ahead in cinema

No Kingsman: The Secret Service? Mind you, that's coming out next month, and I've already booked an advance screening ticket for it. Here's the trailer for anyone interested:

Looks pretty good; I may have to check it out next month.

Couldn't find a trailer for Jem & the Holograms, but I did find a site that's streaming the movie. Since the legality and ethics of this are a little questionable in my mind, I'm not providing a link. I also found one of those "Beyond the trailer" videos, which had some interesting news about the cast and the storyline:

This isn't the Jem that I remember. The movie just got downgraded a bit as far as I'm concerned.

The video also revealed that Hasbro has another toy/cartoon movie in the works for 2017 that made me want to scream, tear my hair out, and hit things. I'll let you guess what toy/cartoon I'm talking about.

A couple of trailers for Jurassic World, for those interested. The first is the first official trailer, from late last year:

The second ran as an ad during the Super Bowl last week:

This is going to be an amazing movie.

I've lost count of how many people complain about the CGI. There is a mix of CGI and animatronics, just like the previous three films. And unless its because I haven't watched the other movies in quite some time, I don't see anything worth complaining about. It looks like it'll be an amazing film.

I watched them all late last year. Maybe there's something amiss when you see them on the big screen but certainly not when viewed on my computer. Let 'em whine, I'm very much looking forward to the movie, I'll probably hike a couple of miles to see it in a theater, and I have no doubt I'll have a dang good time.

For those interested, the Jem and the Holograms movie, released just over a month ago, tanked very badly. How badly? Wikipedia has the numbers:

This is what happens when you're not true to the source material.

In other movie news, there's a real gem coming out in three months:

Nice to see a pantheon other than the Olympians getting the big screen big effects treatment. Hoping to see this one in the theater.
