I’ve already seen How To Train Your Dragon 2, and although I haven’t published my review yet, I can tell you… It’s totally awesome. Better than the first. Better than Godzilla. I was blown away!
Other than that… While I’ve heard good things about 21 Jump Street I never really had the chance to see it, and I don’t know if I’ll be seeing 22 Jump Street. These types of comedies aren’t really my thing. Hellion looks like a much better next step for Aaron Paul than Need for Speed. The trailer promises a beautiful looking movie, and the premise sounds kinda interesting!
And The Signal… Wow! Even though it reminds me of Chronicle (2012), it looks pretty awesome, although he probably won’t get superpowers… or will he? I’m really curious to see what happened to this guy – the question “Are you from Earth?” makes for a very enticing opening. Even if it turns out not to be a good movie, it’s a very good trailer.
Do any of these appeal to you – which would you see in cinema, which would you see at home – or not at all?
