Submitted without comment.

Trailer Watch: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes final trailer

Shit yeah.

Trailer Watch: Guardians of the Galaxy UK trailer

A bit more serious than the US trailer, this new UK trailer is loaded with new footage and a bit more of Peter Quill’s back story. This looks like a lot of fun. Guardians of the Galaxy opens August 1, 2014.

(P.S. Americans, The Avengers was called Avengers Assemble in the UK because of duh.)

Spoiler Zone: How to Train Your Dragon 2

how-to-train-your-dragon-2-posterI don’t talk about any spoilers in this post, but spoilers are allowed in the comments!

Since a few people have asked me already, I just saw How to Train Your Dragon 2, and I loved it. It is a wonderful expansion of the world and deftly sidesteps many of the pitfalls of a lot of sequels.

It’s a darker film (befitting the characters’ age), bigger without being an assault on the senses, and gorgeous to look at (and listen to).

I’ve said before that the first one is a “perfect” movie, inasmuch as any movie can be. I could nitpick about a few things (exposition-induced pacing issues in one scene, a clunky line in another, etc.) but there is so much done well — so much done perfectly, really — that I really feel like I need to see it again to solidify my opinions about it.

In any event, this second film in the series was an intense, emotional, and action-packed adventure movie featuring characters many of you already love. What the hell are you waiting for?

If you’ve seen it, tell me what you thought below! But be warned: spoilers are 100% okay below.
