There happen to be a lot of trailers I’m dying to see right now. Green Lantern, Thor, Captain America, but instead the interwebs grace us with this, a trailer for a movie no one asked for.

On the heels of SDCC 2010, we’re already getting a lot of sneak peeks at the geeky goodness that will be flaunted at this year’s convention. Marvel’s upcoming Thor movie by Kenneth Branagh is one I’m very interested in. Not because I’m a huge Thor aficionado, but because I’m curious as to how they will pull it off and make it look like a part of the modern Marvel movie universe. I’ve been pretty impressed with the glimpses we’ve had of Thor so far, and now we get our first look at Anthony Hopkins as Odin and Tom Hiddleston as Loki.

I like the direction they’re taking with these costumes, and I can’t wait to see the sets and production design that will accompany them.

At first I hated the thought of a CG costume, but this new photo of Ryan Reynolds as the Green Lantern has me very intrigued. I love how it looks alien, and I think the CG may actually be a great idea for this particular superhero movie. Green Lantern, like the upcoming Thor, will be a bit of a departure from the average moviegoer’s idea of a modern superhero movie, so lets hope they get it right.

Back in December you got to witness my descent into Harry Potter fanboyism thanks to the Sorcerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets Ultimate Edition Blu-rays I reviewed. Fast forward a few months and the wife and I are certifiable Harry Potter geeks, eagerly waiting for the last two movies to hit the screen and eventually our media center, to complete the collection.

The Ultimate Editions are pretty awesome, and actually worth the double (or triple) dip if you’ve already bought the films before. Now, Blu-ray.com is reporting that the Prisoner of Azkaban and the Goblet of Fire are coming out in Ultimate form on October 19th. Prisoner of Azkaban is our favorite of the series, so I’m pretty pumped.

They will continue the Creating the World of Harry Potter documentary by adding Part 3: Creatures and Part 4: Sound & Music, which both should be very interesting. Each one will come in a sturdy box filled with collectible cards, photo books, and more.

I’ve always liked Tim Burton movies. I realize the beef a lot of people have with his films, but I have always enjoyed them. Although his style may be getting a bit predictable, he seems to have fun making them and it comes through on the screen. That can definitely be said about Alice in Wonderland.

It’s one of his most heavily-stylized movies to date, to the point where it makes you wonder why he didn’t just animate it. They went as far as enlarging the Queen’s head significantly, replacing Crispin Glover’s body with CG, and using mainly CG sets and background characters. Still, it gives the movie a unique (if cluttered) look.
