1. Designated Survivor<\/i><\/b> — Strictly speaking, this was in the media fluff stuff they were running before the trailers, but it still looked kind of interesting. I don't know if it looked interesting enough to shoe-horn into our TV schedule, but …<\/p>\n

2. Snowden<\/i><\/b> — I wasn't ever aware before that Edward Snowden's tale was actually a romance. Weird. Probably not on my list.<\/p>\n

3. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword<\/i><\/b> — … and the Giant Elephant That Got Away from Minas Tirith.<\/i> Really, guys? This looks like someone said, "What if we redid the Arthurian tale with ALL the CGI?" Nah. I'll stay at home and rewatch Excalibur.<\/i><\/p>\n

4. Doctor Strange<\/i><\/b> — Try and stop me from seeing this. Just try. Hadn't seen this particular trailer before, but it's even more trippy than the first.<\/p>\n

5. The Great Wall<\/i><\/b> — This might have been more interesting if the trailer hadn't been in 3D in a non-3D theater. That said, I'm not sure I need to see another movie about (I presume) how some White Guy traveled to a foreign land and was instrumental in some mighty feat that the Non-White People couldn't handle.<\/p>\n

6. Magnificent Seven<\/i><\/b> — I was most amused by my 16-yo daughter being outraged that they were remaking the classic. I can't say I disagreed with her. There's nothing particularly wrong in the trailer, but there's nothing that seems to be artistically compelling to have been done (unless giant explosions and a check-the-box diverse cast are artistically compelling). Will probably see it some time, but not in a theater.<\/p>\n

7. Assassin's Creed<\/i><\/b> — Is that the actual backstory behind this franchise? Because that's nutso. That said, it looked pretty cool. For a video game movie.<\/p>\n

8. War Dogs<\/i><\/b> — Ah, yes, the laff-riot world of Middle East arms deals. Such zany cut-ups! Pass.<\/p>\n

9. Dunkirk<\/i><\/b> — Hard to judge based on the very brief trailer, but I suspect it will not be a happy movie. Pass.<\/p>\n

So, in short, one movie I will see, a couple I will likely view through streaming at some future date. Not much of a haul.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
