First Teaser Trailer for Pixar's "The Good Dinosaur"

The first teaser trailer for Disney-Pixar's The Good Dinosaur has been released and it hit all the right notes. As most teaser trailers, this one didn't show too much. In fact, the first half of the trailer is spent looking at meteors in space. Yet about halfway through, we are asked what would have happened if the meteor that killed the dinosaurs never actually hit the planet, and then we get our first look at dinosaurs from the film as they casually look up from their food to see the meteor shoot by over their heads.

After that scene, we are shown a bunch of action shots from Arlo and Spot's (our protagonists) adventure. There is no dialogue in this teaser and we never get a clear shot of our heroes. In fact, the one real shot we get of them comes at the very end and it comes in the form of a side shot as they are running through a mountain. But even though this teaser is very limited, it kept me smiling all throughout it. More importantly though, it made me very interested and that is ultimately the goal of a teaser trailer. Big thumbs up to this trailer.

"The Avengers: Age of Ultron"

(Picture via Bing Images) Before we get started, let's get one thing out of the way: I absolutely love the first "Avengers" film. It is a very special movie for me and in many ways it is the reason why I am writing here today. Inevitably, people will always ask if the second movie was better to the original, so as I compare "Age of Ultron" to it, keep in mind the high regard in which I hold the original. In my eyes, "Age of Ultron" is just slightly better. While some might disagree, the fact that this is an argument that can be had says a lot about this film. ***WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD*** "The Avengers: Age of Ultron", directed by Joss Whedon, kicks off with a fantastic action scene that serves as a way to show the viewer that this is not the team's first mission together since the last film. Instead, we are told that this is actually the last in many missions together to find Loki's scepter. The action itself is also very c...

Jurassic World Review

Image via Joblo.com *THIS POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS* When the original Jurassic Park came out, I was not yet born and therefore I don't know what it was like to see it in theatres for the first time. After watching Jurassic World , however, I think I have a pretty good idea of what that must have felt like. In many ways, this movie was a lot more terrifying than most horror films nowadays. I honestly don't remember the last time I watched a movie in theaters that had my heart pounding as much as this one did. One of the things that this movie did so well was create the same wonder and awe that the original did, while staying original and keeping up with its time. We are thrown into this world where, due to scientific improvements, humans are able to produce dinosaurs and a theme park is finally built around them. The problem that these scientist and park operators are dealing with, however, is having to deal with a generation of people that is constantly asking for th...

Film Review: "The Intern"

Image via ComingSoon.net One of the things that stood out to me immediately when I walked into the theater for this movie was the amount of senior citizens that were in attendance. That, to me, shows that the advertising for this film hit its primary target which is not surprising considering the premise of this movie. It was also cool seeing so many people lining up to see a Robert De Niro movie that is actually worth watching, because in recent years, those types of movies have been few and far between. The Intern  follows retired widower, Ben Whittaker, as he lands an internship with an up-and-coming online store after an endless search for a way to pass the time. As he begins at About the Fit, he is immediately faced with a world that he was once familiar with but that has since evolved drastically thanks to technological advances. Being the curious and observant man that he is, however, he begins to learn from his much younger colleagues and before long he is able to...
