Star Trek was anything less than thrilling, clever, and even emotional (i.e. opening sequence), and a worthwhile reboot to the beloved franchise.  Now he and his cast and crew look to make the Dark Knight of his series with an admittedly darker sequel Star Trek Into Darkness (2013).  Rumors and speculation swirls as to who Benedict Cumberbatch is playing (most notably Khan, especially with Alice Eve being Dr. Carol Marcus who was integral to the 1982 film Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan).  Nevertheless, the first two previews are excellent – the teaser trailer is dark and vengeful, as is the epic theatrical trailer.  This could be one of if not the most anticipated films of 2013.  Check out the trailers below!

(then unsuccessful) manhunt for Osama bin Laden when the Seal Team Six tracked down and killed him on May 2, 2011.  As such, they quickly rewrote the script and put the highly anticipated film Zero Dark Thirty (2012) into production.  It should be one of the most sought-after movies this winter given the significant event(s) it covers.  Upping the ante is the fact that the filmmakers consulted the White House for research; furthermore, it should be interesting to see what account the film presents given the recent Seal Team Six book that contradicts some of the White House’s report.  Despite the obvious need to stretch the facts for national security purposes, Zero Dark Thirty should be a fascinating, thrilling piece of cinema that everyone needs to put on their radar.  Check out the mysterious yet gripping full-length trailer below and be ready for some spine-tingling chills.
