(trailer review) - Marvel Zombies

So, this drops in two weeks time, and I'm guessing this is the trailer to help sell this project to the Marvel fans out there. From what I heard regarding the previous trailer, there are a bunch of people looking forward to this because this does indeed look really interesting and will be somewhat entertaining, but I think, for the most part, this will be fun. I have yet to see the previous episode(s), but like those others, and as I have already said, I am fully invested in this Marvel Zombies four-episode "story".

And with that being said, that beginning shot with everyone standing in some sort of room facing the camera (which might be most of the heroes) is absolutely great. You can make out a lot of the characters we know and love, but there are a few I do not recognise immediately. The number of times I paused, rewound and played to get a better look from these flash images goes beyond the count of the digits on one hand, maybe even two. The inclusion of some characters who are not even in the MCU yet is intriguing, because is that not Storm? Storm from the X-Men? And we have already mentioned Blade, but a Ghost Zombie is absolutely terrifying. I am hoping this will be very chilling and scary, but absolutely fun at the same time. TV-MA over here is a 15, I believe (anything suitable for 15-year-olds and above), so let's see what this four-episode "story" has to say for itself and if it will loosely be connected to the wider cinematic universe or not. If not, it does not matter, as long as it is still fun.

(trailer review) - The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

 

There are several different types of trailers when it comes to movies and gaming, and for those who do not know, this is what you call an 'Announcement Trailer'. It is similar to a teaser trailer, and in some cases, they are one in the same, but this simply exists to let us, the fans, know there is a new movie on its way in the near future. Usually, with a teaser or Announcement trailer like this, we are usually a year away from the film being in the cinema, but depending on when they want to release, I can bet the summer of 2026.

This announcement shows Mario sleeping under a tree as we follow a butterfly flying in the world. We get to see the underground creatures seen in the games (I believe they are from a game, but I cannot remember which one - the original Mario Kart, I think), and we get to see the infamous fish that always jump up to bite you. And consider where we see the castle in the background, and we follow the butter, there is some teleportation because the princess's castle is a lot closer to the lake. We see some toad characters, and the butterfly flies into space, and a star comes shooting down with a "Let's go!" Yeah, let's go! But I'll wait while they prep to go...until they release the next trailer. Sidestep, isn't the music a different-sounding version of the music in Super Mario World? I've not played Galaxy, so I have no idea.

(trailer review) - Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery

 

Murder mysteries have been interesting since the dawn of time. Who done it? Rian Johnson has injected new life into that genre, and the Knives Out franchise has become a franchise that has had a great story with great dialogue, wit, charm and dark comedic ingredients all baked into it. I remember watching the first 'Knives Out' and really enjoying it. The second one was also very enjoyable, although maybe not as great as the first, but still really good. This trailer for the third Knives Out movie looks darker in tone and enjoyable simply by the sheer history of the franchise and direction, but with that said, I really hope it does not go down the paranormal route, as I have heard (and possibly incorrectly) 'Death on the Nile' did, but I have yet to confirm.

So, a vicar dies on the premises of a church in a small box of a room in 30 seconds after entering it, whilst several people are around, and Benoit Blanc tries to investigate, and figures out there is a possibility of foul play. So during his investigation, he tries to find out how a murderer killed a priest who was in a room by himself with no other entrances to commit the impossible crime, and I am sure, everyone has a reason to commit the crime, so the death will remain a mystery until it is solved.
