I can already picture the pitch meeting with the studio execs, “it’s The Hangover but with seniors.” In all honesty, if they rebranded this The Hangover Part 65, I would buy it as a sequel to the Bradley Cooper flicks.
When you hear of four Academy Award-winning actors starring in a film, the last thing you’d expect from them to appear in is a comedy about boozing it up in Las Vegas. It’s for that very reason that makes Last Vegas potentially a hilarious flick. Seeing Morgan Freeman getting his drunk on is worth the price of admission alone. Who knew he was such a party animal? Check out the teaser trailer and official synopsis below.
Official Synopsis
Billy (Academy Award®-winner Michael Douglas), Paddy (Academy Award®-winner Robert De Niro), Archie (Academy Award®-winner Morgan Freeman) and Sam (Academy Award®-winner Kevin Kline) have been best friends since childhood. So when Billy, the group’s sworn bachelor, finally proposes to his thirty-something (of course) girlfriend, the four head to Las Vegas with a plan to stop acting their age and relive their glory days. However, upon arriving, the four quickly realize that the decades have transformed Sin City and tested their friendship in ways they never imagined. The Rat Pack may have once played the Sands and Cirque du Soleil may now rule the Strip, but it’s these four who are taking over Vegas.
If you dismissed Pacific Rim as a cheap Transformers knockoff, shame on you. The Guillermo del Toro epic sci-fi flick looks so freaking awesome, I can’t even contain my excitement. Up until now, we’ve seen how visually stunning the film is in previous footage, but with the latest trailer we have a better understanding of the plot.
Earth has been attacked by creatures called Kaiju that have risen from a crevice in the Pacific Ocean. To combat this new threat, a program called Jaegers was born. It involves two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge to control a massive robot. Charlie Hunnam and Rinko Kikuchi are two of the pilots with the fate of the world in their hands. Story seems far fetched but after watching the brand new trailer, you totally buy into it. Check it out below.

Not only does Rachel McAdams have a thing for romantic dramas, but for time traveling ones at that. In 2009, she fell for Eric Bana in The Time Traveler’s Wife and now it’s Domhnall Gleeson she’s smitten with in About Time which is scheduled to hit theaters November 1.
About Time is an upcoming British flick revolving around a young man (Gleeson) trying to change his past to have a better future. It comes from Richard Curtis who wrote Love Actually, Notting Hill and Four Weddings and a Funeral. If you like any of those films and Adam Sandler’s 50 First Dates, then you’ll love this one. Due to the time traveling aspect, Gleeson accidentally erases his own timeline and has to win over Rachel McAdams’ character over and over again.
I’m a huge fan of McAdams and romantic comedies, so naturally I’m checking this out. It looks like a lighthearted moving film. Check out the trailer below.
The Butler doesn’t even hit theaters in limited release until October 18, but the film is already generating Oscar buzz. Given the talent behind and in front of the camera, plus the Weistein Company in its corner, the film’s future during the 2013-14 Awards Season is looking pretty bright. Those Weinsteins really know how to launch an Oscar campaign.
Most likely benefiting from that will be Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey. Whitaker plays a man who served as a White House butler for eight American Presidents over three decades. It’s based on the true story of Eugene Allen, who came to the White House in 1952 until his retirement in 1986. The film traces the dramatic changes that swept American society during this time, from the civil rights movement to Vietnam and beyond, and how those changes affected this man’s life and family.
Along with Winfrey and Whitaker, the film also stars Alex Pettyfer, John Cusack, Robin Williams, Terrence Howard, James Marsden, Alan Rickman, Liev Schreiber, Melissa Leo, Minka Kelly, Jane Fonda, Cuba Gooding Jr., Jesse Williams, Vanessa Redgrave, Mariah Carey, David Oyelowo, and Lenny Kravitz. Check out the newly-released trailer below.

If your favorite part of The Hunger Games was watching kids engage in war, you’re going to love this. Based on a best-selling novel written by Orson Scott Card, Ender’s Game follows a series of young recruits being trained to fight aliens and save the human race. No pressure.
The film, which arrives on November 1, boasts an impressive cast of previous Academy Award nominees including Harrison Ford, Viola Davis, Abigail Breslin, Hailee Steinfeld and Ben Kingsley. Speaking of the latter, he looks pretty menacing with his extremely tattooed face in the film. Hard to imagine this is the guy who once played Gandhi. Rounding out the cast in the Gavin Hood-directed film is Asa Butterfield as Ender Wiggin. You can tell by his name he’s the main focus of the film. Check out the first trailer narrated by Ford below after the official synopsis from Summit Entertainment.
Official Synopsis
In the near future, a hostile alien race (called the Formics) have attacked Earth. If not for the legendary heroics of International Fleet Commander, Mazer Rackham, all would have been lost. In preparation for the next attack, the highly esteemed Colonel Graff and the International Military are training only the best young children to find the future Mazer. Ender Wiggin, a shy, but strategically brilliant boy is pulled out of his school to join the elite. Arriving at Battle School, Ender quickly and easily masters increasingly difficult war games, distinguishing himself and winning respect amongst his peers. Ender is soon ordained by Graff as the military’s next great hope, resulting in his promotion to Command School. Once there, he’s trained by Mazer Rackham, himself, to lead his fellow soldiers into an epic battle that will determine the future of Earth and save the human race.
Kristen Wiig is ready to deliver another hilarious summer comedy this year with her new film Girl Most Likely. Wiig plays a failed playwright who stages a suicide attempt in the hopes of winning back her ex-boyfriend; instead, it forces her to move back in with her mother, played by Annette Bening. Sounds a little like Bridesmaids, no?
The movie also stars Matt Dillon and Nic’s celebrity crush, Glee’s Darren Criss, who looks infinitely hotter playing a straight man. The trailer includes Icona Pop’s “I Love It“, which I still cannot get enough of. The film opens July 19th; check out the trailer below, it looks hysterical.
