2013 FF: By 2009, “Star Trek” had become too familiar and too dated and the random movies lacked that sense of wonder and amazement that science fiction fans were seeking. Enter J.J. Abrams, who decided he was going to do what was starting to become unthinkable — he was going to make “Star Trek” cool again.
Forget everything you thought you knew about “Star Trek” and beam down to your local theater to see the latest take on the adventures of Kirk, Spock and company which is poised to be the movie event of the summer, if not the entire year. More
Robert Downey Jr. is leading the effort to get his fellow “Avengers” cast mates a better payday.
Deadline.com has a pretty fascinating article up about Marvel Studios trying to low ball the Avengers cast members regarding their salaries for the follow-up to “Marvel’s The Avengers” and how Robert Downey Jr. is taking advantage of “Iron Man 3‘s” astonishing success as the second highest grossing opening weekend of all-time to navigate his “Avengers 2″ contract and that of his fellow cast mates.

You’ve just seen the first official images from “Thor: The Dark World” and now here is the first trailer and just from the trailer it looks like this will have a lot more action than “Thor.“
You can almost see the “Game of Thrones” influence from Director Alan Taylor, who directed six episodes of the popular series.
“The Amazing Spider-Man 2” Director Marc Webb is definitely keeping his Twitter followers involved in the making of what will no doubt be one of 2014′s biggest blockbusters.
Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn.
He recently shared two pics of the new additions to the cast: Jamie Foxx in his pre-Electro Max Dillon look and Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn.
“The Amazing Spider-Man 2” comes to theaters on May 2, 2014. More
This isn’t the best week for new releases as far as I’m concerned, which is just as well as next week has more than a few I’ll be adding to my collection.
Wreck-It Ralph - This video game theme film looked to have all the makings of a classic, but was done in by its two unlikable leads and a dull second act. Still, I liked this more than “Brave” as Ralph’s supporting cast was entertaining enough that I’d pay to watch their movie. More
I’ll get around to a Top 10 Best list in the next few days, but I got inspired on this and finished it first. So you get this now. Here’s a look at the highs and lows that were this 2012 movie season.

Best 12 months for a rising star– Chris Hemsworth. From “The Cabin in the Woods” to “Marvel’s The Avengers” to “Snow White and the Huntsman,” Hemsworth had a year that would be a career for some actors. Even when he’s involved in a turd like “Red Dawn,” he shrugs it off and gets to work on sequels for “Thor,” “The Avengers 2” and “Snow White and the Huntsman.” We should all have such stable career outlooks.

One of the reasons I like horror movies is because they’re simple. They feature some evil force whether some near indestructible boogeyman finding creative ways to kill teens or some creepy curse possessing people and slowly wiping them out. It’s a good and safe formula and one that’s worked pretty well for a long time.
To paraphrase Ke$ha (and how many times do you think those words have been uttered?) horror movies are what they are. Occasionally there’s room for a horror movie with a twist ending you don’t see coming like a “Friday the 13th” or “Scream,” but since horror fans are the least demanding fans, it’s not necessary.
Director/Writer Drew Goddard (“Lost”) and co-writer Joss Whedon (“Serenity”) unite to put a new spin on the genre with “The Cabin in the Woods,” a hodgepodge of every horror cliché with a bit of reality TV thrown just for fun. More
Matt (Josh Lucas), Robert (Josh Hutcherson) and Jed (Chris Hemsworth) get ready for a shoot-out in “Red Dawn.”
“Red Dawn” is one of those remakes that no one was asking for, but since it was done all the same you’d figure it should at least be good. Of course, when a movie gets released two years after its completion, there should be no surprises as to what you’re getting. More

It’s not too soon to start getting hyped up for the second phase of the Avengers initiative, is it?
Walt Disney announced a number of updates on their record-breaking franchise including the not-too shocking announcement that “Thor: The Dark World” will be arriving on Nov. 8, 2013 in 3D. The 2011 original had some 3D elements, but it wasn’t essential to the experience. I’m hoping this second go-round, the filmmakers will really go nuts with making it a complete 3D experience.More

There’s only one new release this week, which is just as well considering it’s only the third-highest grossing movie of all time. You may have seen it. It’s called “Marvel’s The Avengers?” Ring any bells? More
