The Guardians of the Galaxy trailer was only 1 minute and 29 seconds long but it was enough to get me wanting me more! Somehow even using the same soundtrack music from the original trailer still managed to bring about that same “to cool for school” magic that the first movie delivered.  Director James Gunn is once again at the wheel of this ship giving us everything we want and more.   Besides, if baby Groot is not enough to want to go to see this then I don’t know what is! Sadly we’re gonna have to wait till May 5, 2017 to see anything! UGH! THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!!  Chris Pratt (aka Star-Lord)and the rest of the cast are just as awesome as ever as they navigate their adventures through the cosmos while trying to figure out what its like to truly be a team and a family and maybe save the galaxy if they have time.

Speaking of time, what if you had all the time in the world? Well for years Logan aka Wolverine has had nothing but time.Due to his mutation Wolverine ages much slower than your average human but in the movie “Logan” we come across a much older Logan. But just because he’s older doesn’t mean there are any less problems or action. Director James Mangold gives us a more intense and solemn approach while still giving us the action packed movie we all want.  From what we can see in the trailer there has been a decline in mutant births and the mutants we all know and love appear to be dead and gone!  Left behind is a Professor X (that has seen better days!) and a young girl who has a very familiar power (mutant X-23?!). We get  a brief glimpse of a masked Merchant’s Caliban; a mutant who’s power is sensing other mutants.  That can be a good or a bad thing depending on who you are so I personally can’t wait to see what will become of our Wolverine and Professor X.  Of course the big bads of this movie are the cyborgs we see in the trailer, members of the mutant-hunting Reavers. Now what we are all wondering is what happened to all the mutants?! What’s the story with the young girl?! Guess we are just gonna have to wait and find out until March 3rd, 2017!

Well even though we have to wait till next year for those two gems to come out we only have about 2 weeks to go for Dr.Strange to get to theaters! (YAY!)  Dr. Strange is directed by Scott Derrickson.  The trailer tells the story of neurosurgeon, Dr.Stephan Strange (played by the dreamy Benedict Cumberbatch!)  who loses the use of his hands in a terrible car accident.  During his journey to recovery he is introduced to another way of looking at the world including magic and time manipulation!  If I could manipulate time I would make two weeks go by so we could get to this movie faster!  When the modern medicine fails him Dr. Strange turns to a more unconventional way of healing in a mysterious enclave called Kamar-Taj. Shortly after realizing that this is not your run of the mill healing center the Dr. begins his training to defend the world against the most powerful sorcerer in existence!  But will he choose a life of magic and defending the world; or will he go back to his successful life as a surgeon? (I think we all know what happens!) I can’t wait to see how this plays out!  Dr.Strange hits theaters on November 4, 2016 in 3D and IMAX 3D.

I know I’ll be pre-ordering my tickets for each of these films as soon as possible!  So who or what are you interested to see?!

Celebrities have named their children after the stars of famous franchises too. For instance the beloved talented comedian and actor Robin Williams was a big fan of the video game The Legend of Zelda; so big  that he named his own daughter after Princess Zelda. They even shot a commercial together for The Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time 3D, the Nintendo 3DS game in 2011.

Another actor who named his daughter after a fan favorite character is actor/writer/director Kevin Smith. The American filmmaker named his daughter Harley Quinn, after the DC character who is in love with the insane Joker, Batman’s nemesis. The character is featured in the upcoming Warner Brothers film Suicide Squad.  Recently, Mr. Smith presented his daughter Harley Quinn Smith with the bat used in the film by the fictional character Harley Quinn.

Girls are not the only ones to suffer from having a father who is not only a celebrity but a geek and/or nerd. Actor Nicolas Cage named his son Kal-el, after Superman’s Kryptonian identity.  Cage is the nephew of Academy Award nominee Talia Shire , a nephew of multi Academy Award winning Francis Ford Coppola, and the first cousin of Academy Award winning Sofia Coppola.  An Academy Award winning actor himself, Cage was born Nicolas Kim Coppola. He took the professional name of Cage from Marvel Comics’ Luke Cage, Power Man.

Kal-el, Superman himself recently came to the rescue of Nicholas Cage. IRS troubles and other debt caused the actor to sell his copy of Action Comics #1 in November 2011 via an online auction. The comic sold for 2.16 million USD (United States Dollars), breaking the previous world record of 1.5 million USD. He had purchased the Holy Grail of comic book in 1997 for a paltry 110,000 USD.

Who knows, someday YOU might create a character that some celebrity will name their own child after; but make sure you pay your taxes because not all comics are worth what Action Comics #1 is.
