When an animated film has Oscar buzz, it’s hard to ignore. Charlie Kaufman has already delivered Being John Malkovich, Adaptation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Now, with his first animated film, Anomalisa has been captivating festival audiences all year. The trailer lands a “must see” blow. I’m ready for this one to hit theaters!

At least Michael Bay has taken a break from destroying my childhood. It doesn’t feel like a stretch to venture to guess 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi will be a balls-to-the-wall action film with very little focus on plot development. Just a guess.

This trailer does nothing for me. Criminal Activities looks like a bust.

The teaser trailer for Joy was great a few months ago. The official trailer is a wee bit better as we get a better idea of what Joy should be. Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, Robert DeNiro, David O. Russell… this isn’t their first rodeo together and that’s not a bad thing. December is loaded!

*Drool* Perfect.
Seriously, if that wasn’t Star Wars, I’d still want to see it. Ready… So ready! Is it December yet?

Bleeding Heart doesn’t look to be a unique concept. Pretty sure it’s been there, done that. Hopefully, the film has a fresh take and the trailer delivers enough to think it might. Jessica Biel is a solid actress and Zosia Mamet is on the rise. While it’s highly unlikely to even be a blip on the box office radar or get more than a limited release, it’s set to hit theaters in December.

When a movie like Race, the story of Jesse Owens and the 1936 Berlin Olympics comes out, it’s obvious Oscar bait. When it comes out in February, it’s a “dump” movie. Movies with a topic of such substance released so far away from Oscar season are traditionally not good. There’s nothing about the trailer to suspect otherwise.

13 years ago, Ratchet & Clank launched as a video game. Next year, it finally get the big screen treatment as a full length animated feature. The trailer looks silly and funny. Maybe Ratchet & Clank is timeless enough to make the leap to the big screen. Oh, and it’s an origin story! How delightful! Excuse me while you watch and I vomit (I haven’t vomited since 1996 so that’s sarcasm). The movie does deliver some heavyweight voices as Paul Giamatti, John Goodman, Rosario Dawson and Sylvester Stallone are all listed amongst the voice actors. The film takes off April 29, 2016.

Love the cast! The trailer has some humorous moments. But there’s that pesky February release date. Even though it wasn’t a comedy, for some reason Hail, Caesar! is eerily reminiscent of 2014’s The Monuments Men. Movies with this kind of cache that release in February rarely hit. Let’s hope this one proves the tendencies wrong.

Paul Bettany’s directorial début looks to be an excellent fall release. Shelter is likely to be a quality art house view. Starring Bettany’s wife (and former Academy Award winner) Jennifer Connelly and Anthony Mackie who will appear in 8 movies by year’s end.
