Let&#8217;s take a look.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>&#8216;Blade Runner 2049&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>The moment I watched this preview, I&#8217;m somewhat certain I yelled like a giddy schoolgirl. However, I have some reservations, primarily a concern about how much input Ridley Scott has on this project. He&#8217;s simply not the same filmmaker he once was. That said, I jumped for joy after seeing that the movie will be directed by the highly-talented Denis Villeneuve, a filmmaker who&#8217;s continuously surprised with each feature. Also, I love the look of the little footage we&#8217;re allowed to see in the teaser. Along with J\u00f3hann J\u00f3hannsson&#8217;s haunting music, the whole thing feels very reminiscent of the original film. At this time, this has jumped to my number one most anticipated film of 2017, but I want more trailers!<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wt-video aligncenter\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S_JAMRKzEHs?wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<h2>&#8216;xXx: Return of Xander Cage&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>I never cared much for the first &#8216;xXx&#8217; movie \u2013 and certainly never sat through something so asinine again \u2013 so it pretty much goes without saying that I care even less about this sequel. In a matter of two minutes one can easily predict where things are going and how it will ultimately end. This is not an action-packed spectacular that requires much thought. At least with the &#8216;Furious&#8217; movies, the filmmakers blend some depth, however minor and arguably trivial, into the brainless vehicular mayhem. This is literally an intentional bombardment of the senses to make one&#8217;s eyes and ears bleed. Poor Vin Diesel. This sort of garbage is the only success he appears capable of accomplishing.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wt-video aligncenter\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MQEFmHsseaU?wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<h2>&#8216;Despicable Me 3&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>What better way to remove the horrible aftertaste of the previous trailer than Steve Carell&#8217;s villainous but lovable antihero Gru? I have a not-so-secret love for the series and hope for this second sequel to be just as satisfying. Following in the tradition of its predecessors, the trailer is more akin to a short animated film rather than an assortment of clips from the finished project, and I laughed out loud at various times. The moment that ultimately sold me was seeing Trey Parker&#8217;s supervillain, Balthazar Bratt. The &#8217;80s fashion disaster is awesome! The hair! The clothes! And the sick moves with the tubular tunes! I love him, and I&#8217;m almost more excited to see him than Gru.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wt-video aligncenter\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Rlq39IC07qA?wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<h2>&#8216;Life&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>While not in the proper flow of things, I nonetheless like this trailer. I&#8217;m not really certain of what to expect from a still relatively unknow director who has yet to impress me. Still, it looks interesting enough to have piqued my curiosity.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wt-video aligncenter\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LeLsJfGmY_Y?wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<p><em>For more of the latest movie trailers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/latest-trailers\/\">check out our trailers page<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The biggest movie news of the week has got to be the teaser trailer for the long-awaited sequel to Ridley Scott&#8217;s sci-fi cult classic.
