Marvel Studios Presents: “Avengers: Infinity War” Official Trailer #2

Leave a comment

I have to admit that I’ve been on a bit of a Marvel Studios high over the last few weeks after seeing “Black Panther”. It was so good and has made over $1.1 billion dollars at the global box office. Have you seen it yet? If you haven’t you are going to want to because it gives us a nice look at Wakanda which I am sure will play some part in the upcoming “Avengers: Infinity War” film that opens on April 27th. Now all the vibe is going to that film and we’ve just received a second trailer for the film. Let’s start off the Friday properly, and watch…..

The Premise: As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain. (thanks Wiki).

Warner Brothers: “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” Official Teaser Trailer

Leave a comment

The Harry Potter films might have ended with the central character but now its time to look back into the realm from which they hail with the sequel to “Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them” with the film “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald”. You can see what this one is all about by enjoying the trailer that I’ve linked below. I’ve also added the premise and the ensemble casting for you.

The Premise: At the end of the first film, the powerful dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander. But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise wizards and witches up to rule over all non-magical beings. In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.

Disney Presents: “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms” Teaser Trailer (11/2018)

Leave a comment

Now that I’ve added a proper “Film and Television” area to The Chronicles, its time to start using it when items that reach our wide ranging age audience come to light. This trailer actually was released a few months ago but since the full trailer has yet to be released, I felt that sharing the teaser one was a good idea. Check out the upcoming fantasy film from Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures “The Nutcracker and The Four Realms”.

The Storyline:
All Clara wants is a key – a one-of-a-kind key that will unlock a box that holds a priceless gift from her late mother. A golden thread, presented to her at godfather Drosselmeyer’s annual holiday party, leads her to the coveted key-which promptly disappears into a strange and mysterious parallel world. It’s there that Clara encounters a soldier named Phillip, a gang of mice and the regents who preside over three Realms: Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers, and Land of Sweets. Clara and Phillip must brave the ominous Fourth Realm, home to the tyrant Mother Ginger, to retrieve Clara’s key and hopefully return harmony to the unstable world. (thanks IMDB).

The Cast:
Keira Knightley as Sugar Plum Fairy
Mackenzie Foy as Clara
Helen Mirren as Mother Ginger
Morgan Freeman as Drosselmeyer
Jayden Fowora-Knight as Philip
Eugenio Derbez as Flower Realm King
Richard E. Grant as Snow Realm King
Misty Copeland as The Ballerina
Miranda Hart as Dew Drop Fairy
Jack Whitehall as Harlequin
Ellie Bamber as Louise
Lil Buck as The Mouse King

Piercing Ken Thoughts: I’ll keep the thoughts to myself since this is a teaser and I generally wait until a longer clip is unveiled. See you next time. Of course if you feel like chiming in about it don’t let me stop you.

Depending on your age, you will likely find yourself tuning in to the annual television broadcast of the classic Dr. Suess tale “How The Grinch Stole Christmas”.

Now, in 2018, we get a new look at that nasty “The Grinch” and the first trailer for his new movie has recently surfaced so let’s take a look.

The Premise:
