As a frequent guest on the Today Show since 2012, these segments are my absolute favorites because of how informative they are. It takes me a full day of focus to research all the items, which are usually about 10 to digest, and put them into succinct words ready for television. I was very happy to be able to review ‘Wonder Woman‘ – the year’s most talked-about film – and share my thoughts on other must-watch movies, music albums, and TV shows for June.
Watch below and see what might pique your interest!

The second trailer for Warner Bros. and DC’s Justice League trailer is here and is beginning to become more credible with each footage that is released. Still no sign of Superman which I’m assuming will be the BIG reveal within the movie. Though Amy Adam’s Lois Lane does make a quick cameo. What do you guys think so far of the trailer? Will you go see it or are you done with DC and their disappointments? Leave comments below.

I can’t believe I’m seeing this trailer. This film wasn’t even supposed to be made. It was some fantasy amongst comic-book heads. There was talk of production maybe happening in 2020, but in 2016!? YES!! DC’s equivalent of The Avengers premiered at the San Diego Comic-Con today and with no Superman in sight, Bruce Wayne wrestles up Aquaman, Flash, Cyborg and Wonder Woman to fight an unseen enemy. But again, where is Superman? The tone of the film will be on the jocular side, much like Marvel, but the look is straight up DC. This trailer is not breathtaking or surreal, perhaps because it’s not the official trailer? but it establishes the physical presence of the core characters, including Cyborg (I’ll be rooting for him above all others). Take a look, let me know what you think of the trailer!

Wonder Woman is a superhero who has been around for 75 years. She is without question the most popular female superheroine in the world. Now, she finally comes to the big screen! The first trailer for “Wonder Woman”, DC’s first female-led superhero movie ever, is here!
Scheduled to be released this coming June 2017, ‘Wonder Woman’ is directed by Patty Jenkins and stars Gal Gadot as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman, the Amazonian princess who has been raised on a sheltered island paradise and is unaware of her true heritage until she meets an American pilot (Chris Pine) who tells her about the outside world. She possesses the powers of strength, speed, flight, super-senses, plus the ability to deflect bullets with her bracelets.
The cast is made up of both familiar faces for DC fans and newcomers. It stars Gal Gadot (who also played the role of Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice) as the protagonist Diana Prince/Wonder Woman, Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, Robin Wright as General Antiope, Connie Nielsen as Queen Hippolyta, Elena Anaya as Doctor Poison and Lucy Davis as Etta Candy.
The trailer starts with Wonder Woman running through no man’s land and saving a village from German soldiers. She then proceeds to fight them with her sword, shield, and her iconic bracelets. The trailer also hints at the origin story of Diana Prince as she is seen in Themyscira training with her mother, Hippolyta (played by Connie Nielsen).
The movie is based on the DC Comics character Wonder Woman who was created in 1941 by American psychologist and writer William Moulton Marston.

This brand new Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer, the second of many more, introduces key characters such as Lex Luthor, Clark Kent and Wonder Woman. The trailer though is not as good, in my mind, as excludes action for exposition. The principle driver here is the a dialogue, a tête-à-tête that should epic, but ultimately, seems more interesting than epic. Read More

Haters! It’s time you tone down the ‘Batman-v-Superman-is-going-to-suck’ rhetoric because after watching this trailer you’re going to have no option than to embrace it. Also, you should hope it kicks ass because if not, it could send a huge punch-in-the-face to the superhero industry. Let’s remember Age of Ultron lost the battle to Jurassic World.
BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE is in theaters March 25, 2016.
