Slay West

Seth McFarland, creator of Family Guy and Ted, tries his luck in front of the camera this time in the new Western comedy, A Million Ways to Die in the West. Thankfully he's brought along several other funny people to help round out the cast including Neil Patrick Harris, Sarah Silverman, Giovanni Ribisi, Charlize Theron, and Liam Neeson(??). Here's your first look at the film set to come out this summer.

It's revealing time

If you thought the 2005 Fantastic Four was the first and worst representation of the comic heroes on the silver screen you would be wrong on both accounts. Back in 1992 famed B-movie director Roger Corman took a stab at making a film about this superhero quartet. Though never officially released, version of the film have been leaked over the years to make it the stuff of legends. Now this cheesy, odd adaptation is getting new life in the form of a documentary about the making of the film and the curiosity behind it all these years later. Watch a trailer for the documentary below.

Devil of a time

I just previewed Devil's Knot, the latest film to tell the story of the West Memphis Three, earlier today. Now you can see whether it's a film that interests you or not by checking out the trailer below.

Tom thanks

Even though Seinfeld has been off the air for 15 years, the coffee shop that Jerry and the gang always went to remains a cultural icon and tourist hotspot. Now the eatery, known as Tom's Restaurant, is getting the spotlight turned on it with a new documentary. Here's an extended trailer to show you a glimpse of the history of the restaurant and its diners.

Feeling a Draft

It's hard telling if I would be interested in Draft Day as much if it didn't focus primarily on the Cleveland Browns, but because it does, I'll be very interested to see if a Hollywood version of our draft turns out any better than our actual one.

Fore play

As most network TV shows shift to reruns over the holiday season, you may be in need of some decent to watch. Might I recommend Netflix's first foray into documentary films. The Short Game chronicles the lives of several young children as they compete for a national golf tournament. In the vein of films like Spellbound, this seems like it could be a compelling story worth a look. Here's the trailer to see if it's for you.

Yesterday's news

I've become somewhat cynical to the "found footage" genre of filmmaking, but I must admit that this trailer for Welcome to Yesterday about a group of teenagers who discover the ability to time travel has caught my eye. If it is as fresh and innovative as Chronicle then this may have a chance of being a mainstream hit.

Depp recesses of the mind

It shouldn't be newsworthy when Johnny Depp plays a normal human being that isn't caked in ghoulish makeup in a movie, but it is. Here is a teaser trailer for his newest movie, a sci-fi thriller called Transcendence that is being directed by Wally Pfister who is a first time director but long time cinematographer for Christopher Nolan.

African union

Here the first trailer for Blended, starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. Adam and Drew always have nice chemistry together, but this feels like another excuse for a paid vacation for Sandler.

Tomorrow never dies

Somehow I forgot to add this one in my posting bonanza last weekend. Here's the first trailer for Tom Cruise's new sci-fi thriller, Edge of Tomorrow, which is set to come out next summer.

Getting a Jump start on the new year

More trailers keep rolling in previewing the 2014 slate. This time it's the sequel to surprise reboot of 21 Jump Street, this time named 22 Jump Street. I'll let the awesome Nick Offerman explain why.

Drumming up interest

We go from talking about this year's highly touted space adventure to previewing what could likely be next year's highly touted space adventure. Here's your first look at Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. It doesn't tell us much and yet I am already hooked.

Ya nerd?

It's yet another trailer for a returning midseason TV series. This time it's the season 2 trailer for the TBS reality series King of the Nerds. Season 1 was fun, but flawed. Let's hope some of those issues will be worked out and we can revel once again in all that is nerdly.

I've got a spy on you

I never discussed it much on here, but the FX series The Americans was one of my favorite new shows of 2013. Set in the 1980s, the show focused on two Russian spies who live in America and pose as a married family. The show featured some high drama and excellent cat-and-mouse thrills. If you're a fan of the show, you are anxious for Season 2 to arrive just like me. Well here's your first look at the new season set to premiere next Feburary.

Shuffle up and deal

Get ready for more political machinations from Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey). Here's the first trailer for Season 2 of House of Cards set to be released on Netflix on February 14.

Living on a Winger and a prayer

Speaking of midseason returns, Community is back (somehow). The promise of "six seasons and a movie" is becoming closer to actually being a reality. In the meantime, here's a trailer for the upcoming fifth season of the show.

He's got a spell on you

Jason Bateman plus spelling bees plus foul language equals me being very interested in Bad Words. Here's the red band trailer for the new film which not only stars Bateman but was directed by him as well.

Web of guys

The first trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is here. Most will most likely notice the large number of villains seen or hinted at in the trailer (Electro! Rhino! Goblin!). What I noticed is that it seems like someone finally turned the lights on. I wasn't overwhelmed with the 2012 reboot largely in part because it felt so dark. Here's hoping this sequel uses its winning cast more effectively.

We did the mash, the trailer mash

As we hit December again, it's time to start looking back. In this case, it's a look back at the iconic images seen in all of the trailers for this year's films. I've posted videos like this before and they are quite impressive with the ways they cultivate the clips into some distinct themes. Watch below and get nostalgic all over again.

The host with the Most

Kermit and the gang are heading back to the big screen and this time they are taking their adventures overseas. Here's the newest trailer for Muppets Most Wanted.
