[yahoo id="movies.yahoo.com/video/worlds-end-trailer-1-201030712"]
Following the first teaser trailer for Edgar Wright's The World's End is the first full trailer, exclusively premiered by Yahoo. The trailer provides more information on the film's premise, plus expands on a lot of the scenes already seen in the initial teaser trailer. As if excitement wasn't already high after the first look at The World's End, this trailer gives a better idea of what to expect from Wright's final film in the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy.
Why are there blue-ink alien/human things? Why doesn't Nick Frost's character drink beer? Why would Simon Pegg's character jump on to a car roof, thinking it would be a good idea? We'll find out on August 23rd.

[Trailer] Man of Steel
http://youtu.be/NlOF03DUoWc
With its June 14th release date fast approaching, Man of Steel just released its final trailer. While it lacks the emotional gravitas of the previous trailer, it does show a bit more of action that past Superman films have lacked. I still have my reservations, both because of Zach Snyder's involvement, but also the weak characterization of the Superman character in general, but the hype has definitely been built up. With Christopher Nolan producing and generally overseeing the project, Henry Cavill could possibly do for Superman what Christian Bale did for Batman.
Of course, that's if the film is essentially flawless... The final trailer for Man of Steel is below, as well as one of the more recent Man of Steel posters depicting Cavill in flight.
[Trailer] The Wolverine
http://youtu.be/th1NTVIhUQU
As one of my Top 10 Summer Movies, The Wolverine has a lot to prove. In the wake of The Avengers' immense success from last year, it's going to be rough for the James Mangold-directed The Wolverine to meet such high expectations. It also doesn't help that its superhero film competitor for the season is Superman's return in Zach Snyder's Man of Steel.
With the latest trailer, though, it seems that The Wolverine is ready for the challenge. It sets the emotional tone of Wolverine's guilt over killing Jean Grey (Famke Janssen) in X-Men: The Last Stand and his weariness with his eternal life while also mixing in some solid action scenes. If the actual film can properly balance the emotional depth with great fight sequences, The Wolverine could be a great way to get audiences excited for the X-Men again.
Watch the new trailer below. I've also included some of the character posters from the film, including Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), Viper (Svetlana Khodchenkova), Yukio (Rila Fukushima), and Silver Samurai (Will Yun Lee) below, as well. Remember, The Wolverine slashes its way to theaters July 26th.
[Trailer] Blood Ties
http://youtu.be/ONz6R4LF5nY
Screening out of competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival, Blood Ties is Guillaume Canet's upcoming film. Blood Ties takes place in 1974 New York and follows the titular blood ties between two brothers, Chris (Clive Owen) and Frank (Billy Crudup), despite their very different lifestyles. Chris is attempting to return to a normal sense of living following a prison term for murder while Frank is a young cop desperate to help Chris. However, we all know how hard it is to escape our pasts.
The film also stars Mila Kunis (Ted), James Caan (The Godfather), Zoe Saldana (Avatar), and Matthias Schoenaerts (Bullhead). You can watch the trailer and view the '70s-inspired poster below. Blood Ties is scheduled to hit theaters on June 13th.
[Trailer] Anchorman: The Legend Continues
http://youtu.be/mZ-JX-7B3uM
I'm honestly not the biggest Will Ferrell fan. He's stolen a few laughs from me over the years, but overall, I'm not really into his cheesy brand of comedy. With that said, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy was legitimately funny. Sure, it followed the basic gimmicky premise of all of Ferrell's films where he portrays an outlandish character, but everything from the writing to the supporting cast clicked. Imagine my excitement when Ferrell officially announced the sequel, Anchorman: The Legend Continues, back in December.
Below is the latest teaser trailer for Anchorman 2. It doesn't feature any footage from the film, but reacquaints audiences with Ron Burgundy (Ferrell), Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd), Champ Kind (David Koechner), and fan favorite Brick Tamland (Steve Carrell). With news that "Yeezus" himself Kanye West is set to make a cameo in a film already full of characters, you already know Anchorman: The Legend Continues will be a hit. The film will be in theaters December 20th.
[Trailer] The Hangover Part III
http://youtu.be/JdcL1UyaoZk
The Hangover was a surprisingly funny film. I have a tendency to carry a high bar when it comes to comedy films, and while it didn't quite meet it, it still warranted a few laughs. However, I haven't had a chance to catch The Hangover Part II, but from what I've heard from fellow film critics, it was more of the same. To complete a full trilogy, director Todd Phillips and the ensemble cast of Bradley Cooper, Ken Jeong, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha, and Ed Helms return for the final installment.
Joined by newcomer John Goodman, The Hangover Part III finds the Wolfpack searching for Mr. Chow after Goodman's character kidnaps Doug as collateral for money Chow stole from him. With the stage set, The Hangover Part III seems to have moved past the "hangover" gimmick; will that prove to be enough to change the formula? We can all find out when it hits theaters on May 23rd.
[Trailer 2] Pacific Rim
http://youtu.be/5guMumPFBag
Following the WonderCon trailer for Pacific Rim is this first official trailer for the film. Featuring so much new footage, the new trailer includes some back story to how the kaiju appeared and why the Jaegers were built to combat them. Fortunately, not too much of the story is spoiled in this trailer; balanced into the narrative context are, you guessed it, new scenes of giant mechas fighting giant monsters. Really, what more could you ask for in a movie?
The Guillermo del Toro-led Pacific Rim is fast approaching in less than two months, so try to savor the latest trailer as much as possible.
[Trailer] V/H/S/2
[yahoo id="movies.yahoo.com/video/vhs-2-redband-trailer-223027452"]
As some of those familiar with my alter-ego know, I'm not a fan of horror movies at all. I get too anxious and nervous when facing suspense and gore. The first V/H/S, which you can catch on Netflix Instant, was a fan favorite in 2012 film festivals. The premise of the two films revolve around the discovery of VHS cassettes that depict ridiculously gruesome stuff. More importantly, each cassette serves as a short film/vignette directed by a large number of directors.
Its sequel, V/H/S/2 (formerly known as S-VHS, but changed because not too many people remember S-VHS tapes), cuts back on the number of directors involved in the anthology, but showcases even more explicit content. Directors attached to V/H/S/2 include Gareth Evans (The Raid: Redemption), Eduardo Sanchez (The Blair Witch Project), Timo Tjahjanto (The ABCs of Death), Jason Eisener (Hobo with a Shotgun), Adam Wingard (The ABCs of Death), as well as Simon Barrett, one of the writers for V/H/S, making his directorial debut.
Prepare your eyes for the horror in the trailer below. V/H/S/2 comes to theaters July 12th, but will hit Video on Demand outlets June 6th.
