Led by Liam Hemsworth (The Hunger Games), Paranoia is a game of corporate cat-and-mouse that sees feuding corporate giants Gary Oldman and Harrison Ford spying on each other to acquire technology potentially worth billions of dollars. This one has flown pretty low on the radar which gives me the general idea that there isn’t a lot of faith in it. The actors alone simulate some interest though even though the concept sounds familiar to some other corporate-climbing films like Wall Street.

Give the trailer a watch and gauge your interest level:

Brad Furman surprised audiences with The Lincoln Lawyer, a smarter-than-average thriller that gave new meaning to Matthew McConaughey‘s career. His follow-up is aptly called Runner, Runner and deals with a gambler whose racked up too much dept so moonlights in the shady underbelly of the black market.

Starring Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck people have been divided as to whether this will be a potential Oscar contender or just an high reaching and highly enjoyable thriller. Place your bets and check out the trailer.

I’ll admit that my anticipation level for Man of Steel is higher than it should be and I’m ready to strap myself in for disappointment but the last thing I need is another trailer to reveal more of the plot. Sure, we’re all familiar with Superman and his super powers but the whole point of seeing a new incarnation of the character is different from other versions.  That won’t however stop me from revealing it to you kind viewers.

With barely a week until release, this is do or die time so I’m not quite sure why they are allowing the trailer to be Man of Steel presented to you by Nokia? I mean, isn’t that kind of a joke? First of all, why the hell would Superman need a cellphone? He could just fly over and talk to you in the blink of an eye…but I digress. Does anyone else find this “presented by X corporation” inherently silly or is this just the new state of advertising? Is everything studio film inevitably going to become one big commercial for something or other? Does it bother you as much as it does me?

Anyways, I’ll stop spoiling the fun and let you watch the trailer:

Following the journey of orca Tilikum, Blackfish is a heart-wrenching documentary about the horrors and consequences of keeping these “gentle” sea-giants captive. As challenging as it is exposing, Gabriela Cowperthwaite‘s doc is a captivating experience not to be missed.

I had a chance to catch Blackfish at SIFF and even have a full review written but am required to hold off publishing it until it gets closer to release. Here’s a hint though: I really enjoyed it and fully expect it to garnish attention around the doc award’s circuit.

Without further adieu, here’s the trailer:

Blackfish is directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite and will find a home in theaters on July 12.

Somehow, I never got around to seeing Machete even though it’s been on my to-see list forever. Now that there’s a sequel in the works, I think I’ll have to buckle down and finally watch it. Now having not seen it, my expectations are campy and gratuitous violence, explicit nudity and totally unnecessary sexual acts and wooden, snarky acting across the board.

Danny Trejo returns to Machete Kills, which is Robert Rodriguez‘s second film in a planned trilogy that he hopes to end with Machete in Space. While this obviously sounds ludicrious, it does sound like the plot to this sequel will set up the third film as it involves Machete hunting down an arm’s dealer who has unleashed a deadly weapon orbiting around Earth. Whether or not the franchise makes it to a third revolution is entirely depend upon the performance of this one so don’t count those chickens before they hatch.

Check out the trailer right here:

Machete Kills is directed by Robert Rodriguez and stars Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Sofia Vergara, Amber Heard, Lady Gaga, Antonio Banderas, Jessica Alba, Demián Bichir, Alexa Vega, Vanessa Hudgens, Cuba Gooding, Jr., William Sadler, Mel Gibson and Charlie Sheen. It hits theaters September 23.

Although my initial judgement was that this latest Pixar offering looked more geared towards children than adults, it’s been getting some pretty good buzz so I’m still holding out hope that Monsters University is actually half way decent if not pretty good.

Directed by Dan Scanlon, who will make his Pixar debut with Monsters U, this prequel brings us back to the college days of Mike and Sully as they learn the ropes of scare tactics with both Billy Crystal and John Goodman back behind the voices.

I’ll be seeing Monsters University at SIFF in a little more than a week so here’s hoping that it doesn’t disappoint. Check out the final trailer right here.

Monsters University is directed by Dan Scanlon and stars Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Nathan Fillion, John Krasinki, Steve Buschemi, Alfred Molina, Frank Oz and Charlie Day. It opens wide on June 21.

I had a chance to catch David Lowery‘s Ain’t Them Bodies a few weeks ago at SIFF and was underwhelmed with the result. A quiet, dusty drama about an escaped convict trying to make his way back to his wife, Rooney Mara, Casey Affleck and Ben Foster shine in their characters but are let down by the ultimately dull nature of the film.

Give the trailer a look and see if this is up your alley:

Ain’t Them Bodies Saints is directed By David Lowery and stars Casey Affleck, Rooney Mara, Ben Foster, Keith Carradine, Nate Parker and Rami Malek. It hits theaters wide on August 16.

With only about three weeks to go until its June 14 release, the Man of Steel marketing train is chugging along and sees to actually be winning over fans. As this summer has had its early share of summer blockbuster disappointments (*sigh Star Trek into Darkness), it’s safe to assume that we’re all hoping that Man of Steel lives up to the somewhat elevation expectations on it.

Superman, as a character, is somewhat stigmatized in this modern generation. After Christopher Nolan‘s Batman Begins, everyone has aimed for gritty and realistic but Superman is a beacon of light, a symbol of hope. Superman once stood as a representation of American elitism that just doesn’t’ resonate with this generation but it’s hard to separate Superman from these infallible aspects of his character. But with Nolan onboard and David Goyer (The Dark Knight) penning the script, maybe some magic can be stirred up.

On somewhat of a strange note, star Henry Cavill gives a brief introduction in the following trailer and what is most apparent is his Britishness. Assuming that most audiences don’t know much, it seems like a silly thing to go out of your way to reveal, his British heritage, seeing that Superman is such an iconic American figure. Perhaps it’s a ploy to reel in those foreign audiences as Superman has never performed very well overseas.

Take a look at this trailer and see if you will be making your way to theaters to catch Supes and Zod duking it out.

Not to be confused with the Seth Rogen comedy This is the End, The World’s End is the third film in Edgar Wright‘s Blood-and-Ice-Cream Trilogy which includes such masterworks as Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. This final tongue-in-cheek installment finds Wright regulars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost alongside Martin Freeman (The Hobbit) as they set out to finish a pub crawl that they failed to finish 20 years prior.

As a massive, massive fan of Wright’s work, it would be hard to anticipate this one more and if it merely remains on par with his previous work, it will be sure to be the best comedy of the year. Take a look at the trailer and tell me if you’re laughing yet because I’m gonna wait for the theaters to be surprised by this one.

The World’s End is directed by Edgar Wright and stars Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Rosamund Pike, Paddy Considine and David Bradley. It opens on August 23.

Once named ‘Don Jon’s Addiction’ and now slimmed down to Don Jon, this Joseph Gordon-Levitt creation follows the sexual exploits of said Don Jon. Written, directed and starring Gordon-Levitt, this is entirely his show.

Diving into the issue of sexual dependency with a comedic bent, Don Jon split critics down the middle when it debuted this year at Sundance. Logan Hill of Esquire knocked the film, referring to it as “Shame: the Romantic Comedy.” Others, like Germain Lussier of Slashfilm, who gave the film an 8/10, only had good things to say.

Which ever way you fall, this is surely a step forward for the very much talented JGL and one that I’ll certainly be seeing in theaters.

Don Jon is directed, written by and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Joining him are Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore, Tony Danza, Brie Larson and Glenne Headly. It pounds into theaters on October 18.
