It's Tom Cruise vs. Henry Cavill in Latest 'Mission: Impossible' Trailer

More stunts and intrigue in what looks to be another solid entry in the M:I franchise. Again, this is the first one where a director is actually returning for a sequel, and since Rogue Nation was so good, I'm sure this one will be as well. Tom Cruise seems to show no sign of slowing down, but as he inches toward his sixties and the stunts get no less crazy, you have to wonder how long he can keep this up.

Rami Malek Takes on Freddie Mercury in 'Bohemian Rhapsody' Teaser

I'm guessing those remastered Queen songs are going to trick a lot of people into thinking this looks amazing, but if you block that out of your mind, we're not actually seeing a whole lot here yet (this teaser is mostly montage). Still, I love Rami Malek on Mr. Robot, so I'm hoping for the best. Most of this movie was directed by Bryan Singer before he was fired from the production last year, and the rest of it was completed by Dexter Fletcher, but filming was nearly finished before Singer left, so it'll be interesting to see who tries to credit for this if it turns out well.

Margot Kidder 1948-2018

Margot Kidder passed away at her home in Montana this morning at the age of 69. A Canadian-American actress who starred in 1970's cult films like Sisters (1973) and Black Christmas (1974), as well as the horror classic The Amityville Horror (1979), she will always be best known for playing Lois Lane in four Superman movies alongside Christopher Reeve's Man of Steel, from 1978-1987. For those who hold the Reeve Superman films close to their hearts (like me), this is a very sad loss, as Kidder's Lois was a feisty, tough talking, and independent reporter- hardly just a damsel in distress and just as iconic a character to the series as the lead. Back when superhero movies recognized the importance of a good love story, Superman and Lois Lane's was crucial and treated that way by the films, especially Superman and Superman II (something that would never happen today in these kinds of movies). Kidder later made appearances on TV shows like Smallville, Brothers & Sisters and The L Word, as well as in theater, but it's as Lois that she'll always be remembered.

Mila Kunis Stumbles Into Trouble in New Trailer for 'The Spy Who Dumped Me'

A longer look at this movie tells me that Mila Kunis is the one carrying it here, with Kate McKinnon in supporting, and I gotta say, it really feels like that ought to be reversed. This movie looks a lot like Spy, and needless to say, Kunis is hardly Melissa McCarthy. To be honest, I've never found her all that funny in the first place (come at me, Bad Moms fans) and I don't think she's a strong enough actress to carry what's obviously supposed to be an outrageous farce (McKinnon on the other hand, could be a different story). Still, the most interesting part of this trailer remains the fact that Sam Heughan is in it, so it may be worth it just for him.

Tom Hardy Previews 'Venom' at Cinema Con

Eh...this one looks a little strange to me. There's something weird about the symbiote (what exactly is the correct pronunciation of this word?) being a separate entity who talks to Eddie Brock inside his head. But I may be a little biased against Sony in terms of superhero movies. Seriously, when was the last time they actually came out with a decent one? Was it Spider-Man 2, way back in 2004? I'm also not exactly the world's biggest Venom fan either, so I don't know- what do Venom fans think?

Jeff Goldblum Welcomes Us to Jurassic World in Final Trailer

Even though Goldblum's back as Ian Malcolm, he looks and sounds so different now that he's kind of unrecognizable to me.  Other than that, this sequel to Jurassic World actually looks a lot like 1997's The Lost World, where the dinosaurs came back to the city (or at least the T-Rex did) and terrorized the people there. The last one was big, loud and dumb and this one looks very similar, so...I guess it'll be a big hit? I still can't believe that last movie is one of the top five highest grossing movies in the U.S. Nostalgia is really strong, I guess.

Milos Forman 1932-2018

A great filmmaker passed away this morning at the age of 86. Milos Forman was a director, writer, and actor from the former Czechoslovakia, who made films there as part of the Czechoslovakian New Wave (1965's Loves of a Blonde and 1967's The Fireman's Ball were both nominated for the Best Foreign Film Oscar) until leaving for the United States after the 1968 invasion. He continued to make movies here, producing a limited but monumental filmography that included One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), Hair (1979), Ragtime (1981), Amadeus (1984), The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996) and Man on the Moon (1999). He is one of the few directors to have two of his films (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Amadeus) win Best Picture and Best Director at the Academy Awards.
