IGN just released a new trailer for season 4, which arrives on April 19th. It gives a sneak peek at the frightening plans of the Man in Yellow and what they mean for the town. You can watch the trailer here:
While Season 2 of One Piece introduces some powerful new enemies like Captain Smoker and the Baroque Works, it also brings several new friends to the Straw Hat crew. The most notable addition is Dr. Tony Tony Chopper, who joins the team. But Chopper isn’t the only new face – the series also unexpectedly introduces Brook earlier than fans anticipated.
The new sci-fi movie, based on Andy Weir’s book, tells the story of astronaut Ryland Grace (played by Ryan Gosling). He wakes up with no memory and discovers he’s on a critical, one-way trip to save the Sun from a strange microbe. During his journey, he forms an unlikely friendship with an alien named Rocky, and together they work to save both their worlds.
Hulu has a great selection of sci-fi, including some truly legendary TV series alongside shows that ended too soon. Their movie collection features everything from exciting international films and popular franchise installments to highly-rated, one-off projects.
As a huge animation fan, I’ve been hearing amazing things about How to Train Your Dragon – everyone loves how true it is to the source material and those incredible flying scenes! It’s no surprise DreamWorks was already planning a sequel – reportedly based on How to Train Your Dragon 2 – even before the first movie came out. But it sounds like How to Train Your Dragon might not be the only DreamWorks animated film getting a live-action makeover. With Disney seemingly running out of classics to remake, DreamWorks has a ton of options. And if they do decide to make more live-action versions after How to Train Your Dragon, there’s one film they absolutely need to tackle first.
I’m absolutely blown away by Project Hail Mary! As of today, it’s sitting at a phenomenal 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 57 reviews. Everyone’s saying it’s the best sci-fi film of the year so far, and one critic brilliantly described it as Cast Away meets Interstellar – which is a perfect way to put it, honestly.
Alvarez, with his black leather jacket and sunglasses, brings to mind Lou Reed, but with a softer edge. At times, he also resembles Marc Bolan from the early 1970s, though without the flamboyant style. (I just coined the term ‘glamificial’ to describe it, and I think it fits.)
Next month, industry professionals will get a first look at footage from the new Godzilla movie, Godzilla Minus Zero. The film will be previewed during the opening session of CinemaCon in Las Vegas on April 14th.
This film really throws a fascinating wrench into the classic ‘what would you do?’ thought experiment. It asks what happens when you’re not just making a choice for yourself, but are asked to help others, even when it goes against your own instincts. What I loved about Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s adaptation of Andy Weir’s novel is its gentle reminder that true character isn’t about avoiding sacrifice, but about willingly putting others’ needs before your own. It’s a beautifully observed idea, and the film really gets at the heart of what makes us human.
First Reaction – Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II has great scares throughout.
