Transformers: The Last Knight trailer

I have been a fan of The Transformers since the very first cartoon was released.  I watched the ragtag group of Autobots survive on Earth eventually reclaim Cybertron from Megatron and the Decepticons.  There have been multiple reboots of the story.  I personally think Transformers Prime was one of the best.  As far as the recent Michael Bay movies, I liked the first one.  The next two were ok.  The fourth movie, Age of Extinction was bad, just bad.  Good special effects, but the plot was awful.  Now here is The Last Knight.  The trailer shows more great special effects, but what gives me hope is the addition of Sir Anthony Hopkins.  He doesn't sign on to bad script movies.

Anyway, the bad guy appears to be Unicron.  It would be the most next logical step, but when Prime mentions his creator, I often wonder about the Quintessons, the mysterious creators of the Tranformers in the original cartoon series.  It could be and it would be interesting if Lockdown has been working for them.

Anyway, here is the next great trailer.

The new Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer!

For many of us Star Wars fans, December cannot come fast enough.  The first full length trailer has hit the digital airwaves.  You get glimpses of both sides of the Force, Rey beginning her training as a Jedi and Kylo Ren looking forward to the demise of the Jedi.

The Thor: Ragnarok Trailer is here!

Thor: Ragnarok arrives this November, but the trailer has finally been release and it is sweet!  Asgard in ruins, Mjolnir destroyed, Hela looks responsible and Thor is now a gladiator slave.  Who is opponent in the ring?  None other than the Incredible Hulk.  Interesting story line pieces need to be revealed, but it looks like a real thrill ride.  Check out the trailer.

New Guardian's of the Galaxy Vol 2 Trailer

The first teaser for the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 movie got our appetites primed for the next installment for the Marvel movie blockbuster, but this full trailer is epic.  Gamora and Yandu joining up to fight with the team and we get to see a glimpse of Peter's (Chris Pratt) dad, played by Kurt Russell.  This year is going to be fun!

Middle Earth: Shadow of War trailer released

I wasn't sure about Shadows of Mordor when it was released, but after a few minutes playing it I was hooked and enthralled.  A great game and my whole family was awaiting the potential sequel.  Today, the new trailer for the next installment dropped.  It looks fantastic and I cannot wait until August 22.

Passing of Bill Paxton

I remember watching Bill Paxton first in Weird Science, as Wyatt's older brother Chet.  Then, it was on to Aliens, Twister, Tombstone and U-571.  My kids loved his character in the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare zombie missions. He was great actor, full of life, humor, and he will be missed.  RIP Bill Paxton.  As Hudson said, "Game over man.  Game over."

More Good News for SpaceX

SpaceX has had some setbacks, but they have had a good past few days.  They successfully launched one of their Dragon spacecrafts on its way to the International Space Station and now, they have landed their first stage of its Falcon 9 rocket that helped to launch that spacecraft into orbit.  This is a tremendous accomplishment and new step for all of mankind as we prepare for new adventures into space.
