X-Men: Apocalypse (Trailer #2)
March 18, 2016
Oh HELLS yeah! X-Men: Apocalypse is gonna be the azz naked truth! The familiar characters (most) from Days Of Future Past show up and show out for this one. Epic!
Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshiped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.

Meet Ahmed Best: The Guy Who Played The Most Hated Character Of The ‘Star Wars’ Franchise (Video)
January 13, 2016
Admission: Always hated Jar Jar Binks as a character in the Star Wars reboots (but @ojones1 said he wasn’t so bad… get him y’all… GET HIM! hahaaaaa!). That said, you kind of feel sorry for the guy who played him, Ahmed Best. That is, you will (most likely) when you watch this clip.
In Episode III of These Are The Actors You’re Looking For; Ahmed Best AKA Jar Jar Binks talks Michael Jackson, the backlash and why he would never return to the Star Wars franchise. He also performs his former co-star Liam Neeson’s famous ‘Taken’ monologue, in the style of Jar Jar!
Um… but see how he is still trying to take bullets for creator George Lucas… saying the kids who first watched “The Phantom Menace” had no problem with it. *Sigh* Hollywood…
(Watch the Liam Neeson a la Jar Jar voice flip by Best at the end.)

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer (Official Trailer)
October 20, 2015
I’m cautious about getting too excited about Star Wars, but the trailer does look promising… The date is set (December 18, 2015) and the level fan-demonium will be off the charts as the debut date for this next installment (Episode VII) of the Star Wars saga nears. Check out the official trailer for “The Force Awakens” above (which will stoke the fan flames even more).
Tomorrowland (Trailer)
April 24, 2015
You wanted to see “Tomorrowland”… Well here it comes!
Yep, it’s coming alright (to the silver screen on May 22, 2015). Looks like Disney has taken all its Marvel Universe movie and TV-making powers, combined them with the adept storytelling already possessed (and learned on producing TV like ‘Once Upon A Time’) and crammed it into yet another late spring / early summer blockbuster. Whew! Combine this robot-fighting near-future set fantasy and “Avengers: Age of Ultron” dropping just weeks earlier; and you understand what a beast mode big screen juggernaut Disney is. Not hurting the effort, at all, is major major Hollywood A-list talent (George Clooney) jumping on the scale with all his weight; giving serious effort to what looks to be an epic rock’em sock’em watching experience! Dollar up for the big bucket of popcorn, extra butter, super-duper sodas and whatnot… and the iMax experience… for this one. Then strap in, as Casey (Britt Robertson) and Frank (Clooney) go all in; taking on killer robots as they take you to “Tomorrowland” (trailer above)!
Featuring a screenplay by “Lost†writer and co-creator Damon Lindelof and Brad Bird, from a story by Lindelof & Bird & Jeff Jensen, “Tomorrowland†promises to take audiences on a thrill ride of nonstop adventures through new dimensions that have only been dreamed of.
The film also stars Hugh Laurie as brilliant scientist David Nix, Raffey Cassidy, Tim McGraw, Judy Greer, Kathryn Hahn, Keegan-Michael Key and Thomas Robinson.
All that, too?? Yeah, this looks goooood.

Godzilla (International Film Trailer)
March 18, 2014
It’s big & it’s coming to SMASH into theaters May 16th. It’s the return of what is arguably the most iconic monster in the history of film. The return of Godzilla. There’s not much more that’s revealed involving the plot & storyline to this movie reboot other than it’s implied that Godzilla could quite possibly be tangling against a number of other monsters that may have been created due to man’s arrogance & scientific ignorance.
“An epic rebirth to Toho’s iconic Godzilla, this spectacular adventure pits the world’s most famous monster against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity’s scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence.” – Legendary Pictures (Godzilla 2014)

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (Super Bowl Trailer)
February 3, 2014
Marvel’s first Avenger returns this April 4th in ‘Captain America: The Winter Solder’. Chris Evans continues the lead role as Captain America, while actor Anthony Mackie makes his Marvel debut as ‘The Falcon’. A few notables from the Avengers movie also bleed into this film as Samuel L. Jackson is featured as well as the beautiful Scarlett Johansson who reprises her role as Natasha Romanoff aka The Black Widow. The new film picks up in Washington D.C. following the cataclysmic events that played out in New York during The Avengers movie with Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, trying to adjust to the modern world. Captain America and the Black Widow enlist the help of their new ally, ‘the Falcon’ to battle against an unexpected and formidable enemy-the Winter Soldier. This looks like it’s going to be good.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Trailer)
December 12, 2013
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hits theaters this summer on May 2nd & although I’m interested in seeing the film I hope it doesn’t drown in too much CGI. I also noticed from this trailer a few hints that possibly one of the villains in the upcoming movie will be “The Rhino” which one of my personal favorite adversaries to Spider-Man. From the glimpses I peeped from the trailer, it appears The Rhino could be a mechanized villain. I hope the creators don’t ruin The Rhino’s appearance in the film although actor Paul Giamatti is an excellent choice of talented actors rumored to be playing the role. Jamie Foxx stars as Spidey’s nemesis Electro in the upcoming film & there’s some sort of secret event about to go down in Times Square on New Years Eve according to the countdown timer on the ElectroArrives.com website. The film directed by Marc Webb & starring Andrew Garfield returning as Spider-Man, finds Peter Parker picking up new clues as to why his parents left, rekindling his love for Gwen played by actress Emma Stone, & the return of his old pal Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan).  Things don’t get any easier when he’s also busy battling former foes & new bad guys.

Tom Cruise Stars in Summer 2014 Sci-Fi Film ‘Edge Of Tomorrow’ (Movie Trailer)
December 12, 2013
“The epic action of ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world. Major William Cage (Tom Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again…and again. But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.” – Edge Of Tomorrow (In Theaters June 6th, 2014)

September 3, 2013
Just finished watching this. WOW!! Speechless. Truth is… I did not even know what to call this genre David Banner is delving into on YouTube, but thankfully my brother did (shout out to @BoneBreakerMC – love you bruh)… Action Fantasy! Yeah. This “Walking With Gods” is DOPENESSS (with an extra ‘s’)!
‘Walking With Gods is a live-action, superhero series. It is about a man whose godly powers are realized only when his inner being is balanced and he truly believes in the power within.’
I hope this effort spurs continued growth in this sector of the arts. New content… we don’t have to wait on the next X-Men or Transformers at the box office when folks like Mr. Mississippi are putting out ORIGINAL work we can be proud of and support right now! Positive images of people of color with great story lines and musical scores to boot. Banner’s effort to ‘Control Our Images’ on screen needs our support.
‘If you want to see more, you can donate at www.davidbanner.com. Thank you ALL. Controlling Our Images.’
