There are just nine days left until The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Powerarrives on Amazon Prime Video. The latest trailer looks just as visually beautiful and emotionally overwhelming as The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings movies. I can't wait!
The first two episodes of The Rings of Power arrive on Amazon Prime Video on September 2nd.
Have you watched Spider-Noiryet? The series was released on Amazon Prime Video yesterday. So far, I've watched the first 4 episodes and I am loving it. It's so delightfully dark and retro, like an old gumshoe movie. And the music is pretty fantastic, too.
All 8 episodes of Marvel'sSpider-Noir are available now on Amazon Prime Video.
Amazon has released a new trailer for their upcoming series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Of Power and it looks amazing!
Here's the official synopsis from Amazon:
Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth's history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.

The Lord of the Rings and TheHobbit trilogies are some of my favorite movies, and books. The stories are epic and the filming is beautiful, but they are only two of the stories that JRR Tolkien wrote about Middle Earth. Amazon will be telling the stories that come before these two, specifically those involving the 20 rings of power forged by Sauron, in a new series called The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

Here's a little behind-the-scenes look at the making of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. I've always loved Tolkien’s stories, and this one really does look incredible.

The Rings of Power Season 2: Sauron has returned. Cast out by Galadriel, without army or ally, the rising Dark Lord must now rely on his own cunning to rebuild his strength and oversee the creation of the Rings of Power, which will allow him to bind all the peoples of Middle-earth to his sinister will. Building on Season 1’s epic scope and ambition, Season 2 of Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power plunges even its most beloved and vulnerable characters into a rising tide of darkness, challenging each to find their place in a world that is increasingly on the brink of calamity. Elves and dwarves, orcs and men, wizards and Harfoots… as friendships are strained and kingdoms begin to fracture, the forces of good will struggle ever more valiantly to hold on to what matters to them most of all… each other.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 arrives on Amazon Prime Video on August 29th. New episodes will debut each Thursday. Season 1 is available now.
Amazon has released 23 posters for their upcoming Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power series. Even these small glimpses of the characters show that the attention to detail is incredible. I can't wait to see the final product.

Have you seen Project Hail Maryyet? If not, then I highly recommend that you do. I was not sure what to expect when I went to the drive-in to watch this movie, but I ended up loving it. I thought it was going to be just another "it's the end of the world so we're going to send one guy into space to save us" movie. It does have elements of that trope, but it's so much more.
When middleschool teacher Ryland Grace wakes up, alone, aboard the spaceship Hail Mary, he has no idea how he got there, or even who he is. As his memory slowly returns, he realizes that he has been sent into space to save our sun from a microscopic organism called an astrophage. He is headed for a planet whose sun does not appear to be affected by the astrophage to hopefully find a solution that saves the Earth.
It's there, in space, that he meets Rocky, an Eridian scientist, who happens to resemble a spider made of stone, sent by his planet to save them from the astrophage. This is where the movie becomes fantastic. Rocky and Grace discover how to communicate and decide to work together to solve the astrophage problem. In the process, they also become best friends. I know it sounds a little trite, but honestly, this is the best buddy movie I've seen in years.
Overall, Project Hail Mary is an incredible story of unexpected friendship and what working together can accomplish.
With six weeks to go until the epic conclusion of Wicked, tickets are now on sale. Wicked: For Good is the second part of the untold story of the powerful friendship between Glinda (the Good Witch of the South), and Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West). It looks amazing!
There are eight new posters for the film and they are stunning.
The RealD 3D poster features the main cast in a silhouette of Elphaba.
The 4DX poster is just Elphaba in full Wwitch mode.
The ScreenX poster shows Glinda as the good witch in the bubble.
The Dolby poster has Elphaba and Glinda facing off rather unhappily.
IMAX has two poster. The first features Elphaba and the Grimmerie.
The second shows Glinda as the popular princess she wished to become.
The final poster is for an early screening on Amazon Prime on November 17th. It shows Glinda and Elphaba united against whatever may come.
Wicked: For Good arrives in theaters on November 21st.
Amazon released the first full trailer for season 2 of The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Powerat ComicCon this past weekend. This season, Sauron has the Rings made and begins to use them. This season is going to get dark.

I've always loved Sherlock Holmes. The books, the movies, the various series, I've enjoyed them all. The latest incarnation is Guy Ritchie's Young Sherlock. It looks quite fun.
Here's the official synopsis:
From Guy Ritchie, witness the legendary origin story of Sherlock Holmes in this irreverent, action-laden mystery that follows the iconic detective’s early adventures. Sherlock Holmes is a disgraced young man – raw and unfiltered – when he finds himself wrapped up in a murder case that threatens his liberty. His first ever case unravels a globe-trotting conspiracy, culminating in an explosive showdown that changes his life forever. Unfolding in 1870s Oxford and adventuring abroad, the series will expose the early antics of the anarchic adolescent who is yet to evolve into Baker Street’s most renowned resident.
Young Sherlock arrives on Amazon Prime Video on March 4th.
When I saw the first trailer for Red One, I will admit I wasn't too sure what to expect. Christmas & action movies aren't exactly a natural fit, though a few have succeeded: Die Hard takes place at a Christmas party, but isn't really about Christmas, and Violent Night stars Santa Claus, but really is violent, though entertaining. Red One is one wild and crazy ride of a movie, with lots of mythological Christmas characters and a fun story. I haven't laughed that much in ages.
If you're still on the fence, check out this behind the scenes glimpse of the two main characters: Callum Drift and Jack O'Malley.
Andhere are the main characters. As you can see, there are quite a few Christmas characters you don't see too often, such as Gryla and Krampus.
Dwayne Johnson as Callum Drift, commander of ELF (Enforcement Logistics and Fortification)
Chris Evans as Jack O'Malley, bounty hunter, gambler, and Level 4 Naughty Lister
