Guardians Of the Galaxy Vol 2 has it First Full Trailer!

Guardians Of the Galaxy was the surprise hit of summer 2014. So it was of no surprise that Marvel Studios locked up director/writer James Gunn for a second installment. Check out it's first trailer.

1. Baby Groot is everything and has been everything for about 3 years now.

2. The trailer gives away zero plot. A move which is totally uncommon by today's trailer standards.

3. I found the lack of Kurt Russell disappointing, but James Gunn is probably saving the reveal of EGO the living planet for the movie.

What did you think of the GOTG Vol 2 trailer? Are you excited for more wacky space adventures? Or do you really not give a shit? Sound off in the comments.

Did someone say the Capey Awards?

Comic Movie of The Year
Amazing Spiderman 2
Captain America: The Winter Solider
Guardians of The Galaxy
TMNT
X-Men: Days Of Future Past

Winner: Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Captain America: The Winter Soldier only beat out Guardians of the Galaxy by a single vote.  So in short you could say it was a great year for Marvel Studios. Both their films were both critical and box office successes, but we gave the edge to the Captain. His 70's esque political thriller was riveting. It also helps that it had Scarlet Johansson. Never hurts to throw in a little Scarjo

Best Sci-Fi Movie of The Year
Dawn of The Planet of The Apes
Edge of Tomorrow (Live, Die, Repeat)
Godzilla
Interstellar
Snowpiercer

Winner: Dawn Of The Planet Of the Apes

This was another tough race. All five movies were excellent sci-fi, but at the end of the day we choose Dawn. The apes may have been the most compelling characters in cinema in this year. It's truly amazing how great the reboot to the classics have been.

Best Lead Hero
Captain America (Chris Evans)
Spiderman (Andrew Garfield)
Star Lord (Chris Pratt)
Wolverine (Hugh Jackman)
Caesar (Andy Serkis)

Winner: Captain America (Chris Evans)

Best Supporting Hero
Black Widow (Scar Jo)
Falcon (Anthony Mackie)
Rocket Racoon (Bradley Cooper)
Professor X (James McAvoy)
Groot (Vin Disel)

Winner: Rocket Racoon (Bradley Cooper)

Rocket and Groot burst into the mainstream this year. It was another close race here. In the end thought the raccoon edged out the tree because of his brilliant prison escape.

Best Villain
The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan)
Ronan (Lee Pace)
HYDRA
Magneto (Michael Fassbender)
Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford)

Winner: HYDRA

HYDRA is that evil organization that you just can't help but love. HAIL HYDRA!

2014 was truly the year of the elevator. Whether it was Gwen Stacy conveniently meeting both bad guys from Amazing Spiderman 2 or Cap beating the piss out of HYDRA agents, everything was happening on an elevator. Even in real life, shit was going down in elevators. Solange beat the shit of Jay-Z. Then Ray Rice struck his wife like the piece of shit Raven he is. Was just a crazy year behind those closed doors.

Worst Movie Villain (The Aldrin Killan Award)
Electro
Ronan
The Rhino
Green Goblin
The Shredder

Winner: Electro

Best Buds!

I have shat on Electro countless times before, so I won't do it again here. I would like to instead thank Marc Webb for providing 3 villains for this list. Great job buddy, keep up the good work. You made Aldrin Killan proud by filling out this category.

Biggest Disappointment
Amazing Spiderman 2
TMNT
Sin City: A Dame To Kill For

Winner: The Amazing Spiderman 2

Wouldn't exactly call it his greatest...

Another thank you for TASM 2, for being so bad that Sony had to run to Marvel for help. Though it is a shame you wasted Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone's talents.

James Gunn To Write and Direct "Guardians Of the Galaxy 2'

Marvel Studios must have really liked what they saw in James Gunn's Guardians Of Galaxy because the writer/director has been hired back to write and helm the sequel. These studio heads seem very confident that this cosmic flick will make money. And with waves of very positive reviews already swarming in and a cast that includes Chris Pratt and Bradley Cooper, I see no reason to believe this film will be anything but a success. GOTG comes out August 1st.

My boy Aziz needs a part in the sequel. Chris hook 'em up!

New 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Trailer

This summer has been full of great comic book movie fare. Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy looks to be a grand addition to the August line-up.

Rocket Racoon is God.

Superhero Woman Crush Wednesday: (5/14/14)

Happy Wednesday everyone. It's time to crush on some lovely ladies.

Woman Crush: Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence is the current queen of Hollywood and deservedly so. She has rapidly ascended into mainstream popularity over last few years mainly from her excellent portrayal of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games franchise. But what really makes Jen special as an actress is her work in character driven films. Two years ago she earned the Oscar for Best Lead Actress for role of Tiffany Maxwell in Silver Linings Playbook. I remember hearing she was only 21 at the time of filming. I was amazed at how natural her acting alongside her romantic counterpart in the film, Bradley Cooper who 37 at the time. "There's an expressiveness in her eyes and in her face, that many stars have to work for, that's ageless," said director of Silver Linings Playbook David O. Russell. Lawrence continued her trend of holding her own alongside older Hollywood elite, Bale, Adams, Renner, Cooper in American Hustle. She stole the film with her performance as "Picasso of passive aggressive karate" Rosalyn Rosenfield. She was an absolute force in the movie, every time she was onscreen you took notice. Next on the docket for Jen is portraying the beautiful Mystique next week in X-Men:Days of Future Past. From the previews looks like typical Jen. Taking names and kicking ass. Jen, I volunteer my soul and heart to you on this very special WCW.

"Can we go one fucking conversation without you mentioning my dead goddamn husband."

Watch her dance with Rocket Raccoon in this classic clip.
