There s a new Thor trailer, with the movie due out on May 6th.
Coming out this March 18th in the US (February 18th in the UK), Paul is the story of two British comic book fans who visit Area 51 and run into Paul, the alien who wrote the X-Files. This one looks like good, silly fun.
I Am Number Four hasn’t gotten as much ahead of time promotion as most Michal Bey movies, but watching the trailer was all I needed to know I will be in my seat for this film come Friday. There are 9 aliens who have escaped and are hiding across the Earth, and are being killed in numeric sequence. Three are already dead, and the forth is fighting for his life to protect himself and the rest.
This isn’t in the path to the Avengers, but X-Men: First Class looks like a very interesting film.
This week we have a particularly silly title: Gnomeo and Juliet. It takes the classic Shakespeare tale and applies it to garden gnomes, by way of some of the folks involved with the Shrek series of feature length films. This one comes in 3D and is silly fun of the family friendly variety. If you want something a bit more gritty and adventurous, The Eagle takes place in the 2nd century British islands, an environment so alien to the modern world it might as well be on another planet. The 9th Legion of the Roman Empire had disappeared several years before the story opens, with a son of the expeditions leader out to figure out what happened to them.
Sanctum is a James Cameron 3D thriller hitting the big screens this weekend. I fully expect the movie to be visually stunning, which is the reason I am mentioning it here, but it is not even close to sci-fi or fantasy. In fact I believe it is based on a true story, and you can find episodes on the National Geographic Channel.
