There’s this little indie movie you probably haven’t heard of called Avengers: Infinity War that’s coming out in theaters this weekend. That AND a bunch of new trailers like Venom and Woman Walks Ahead? Does it get any better?

ALSO, now that I think about it, CinemaCon was held this week and apparently they showed a bunch of really cool new trailers like Glass, Predator and Bohemian Rhapsody. Hopefully, if the movie gods are good, those will be finding their way to the internet in the near future.

Opening this week:

Avengers: Infinity War

It’s here. It’s really here. Get your tickets now, because this thing is selling out theaters all across America. Mine are for this afternoon and I can’t wait. The Marvel Cinematic Universe began ten years ago with the first Iron Man, all leading up to this giant culmination. It’s getting all kinds of crazy positive reviews, but careful — the internet is a dangerous, dangerous place and the last thing you would want to do is have the movie spoiled for you.

Disobedience

I mean, yeah Disobedience looks interesting and all, but…are they crazy? Why would you want to compete with Avengers: Infinity War on opening weekend? I digress, but Disobedience still looks like it might be checking out eventually. After we see Infinity War for the fifth or sixth time, that is.

New trailers:

Venom (Oct. 5, 2018)

Again, you can analyze the fact that Sony decided to drop their Venom trailer two days before Infinity War all you want, but here’s the thing — now I’m super excited for both these movies. While the Venom teaser was ambiguous, this full trailer gave fans exactly what they wanted to see: the movie looks dark and horror-ish, Tom Hardy looks great as Eddy Brock and the suit is badass.

Woman Walks Ahead (June 29, 2018)

I don’t know why, but something about this trailer is really drawing me towards it. Scratch that, I do know why: It’s Jessica Chastain, A24, Bill Camp, Sam Rockwell and Ciarán Hinds. Of course, it looks great.

Crazy Rich Asians (August 17, 2018)

While I’m worried it could go the way of standard romantic comedy clichés, Crazy Rich Asians looks like it has a strong dash of social commentary in a way that reminds me of The Big Sick. Apparently, it’s based off a really well-known novel of the same name too, which means it’ll probably make a killing at the box office.

Penguins (April 19, 2019)

Fun fact that you maybe wouldn’t have expected (if you’ve read any other Trailers by Brandon, that is): I actually love these Disney Nature documentaries. I wind up usually missing them in theaters because they’re there for such small windows of time, but I have a huge soft-spot of things like Bears and Monkey Kingdom. Penguins looks like another great one — I’m already in love with Steve the penguin and can’t wait to see his journey.

Kin (August 31, 2018)

Went in expecting another X-Men knockoff based on the title, but it’s really like E.T. with a laser gun instead of an alien. And yet I still see some potential here? Maybe it’s just because I’ll watch literally anything Carrie Coon is in after seeing her in The Leftovers, but I’m hoping for a fun adventure and coming-of-age type story with Kin.

Feral (May 25, 2018)

Olivia Luccardi is doing horror again (I highly recommend Channel Zero: Butcher’s Block, which she stars in), so that’s cool. Not every horror movie that IFC Midnight puts out is an instant win, but they are the ones responsible for The Autopsy of Jane Doe — which is fantastic and terrifying — so maybe Feral will be in that same vein.

Smallfoot (Sept. 28, 2018)

The first thought I had was that Smallfoot looks exactly like Storks, just with yetis instead. And while I liked Storks way, WAY more than I ever thought I would, this one isn’t doing it for me yet. Hopefully, I’ll get in the theater and be pleasantly surprised, but it feels like I’ve already seen the plot for Smallfoot in tons of other different movies already.

Rewind:

Seven Samurai (1954)

Yeah yeah, there are a hundred different superhero movies I could have picked for this week’s rewind to celebrate Infinity War and Venom. Instead, I’m going way back to Seven Samurai, which was the equivalent to The Avengers in 1954. Highly revealed as the first ever team-up movie which then paved the way for the entire concept of a cinematic universe, film fans have been studying Akira Kurosawa’s masterpiece for years. For good reason too. It may clock in at over a three hour running time, but it really doesn’t feel like it.
