It's Trailer Time!

Taking a look at the new trailers for some movies through May of 2017!

It's Trailer Time!

I love movie trailers.

This past week saw a few hit the internet and theaters. Join me in taking a look at what is coming out between December and May of 2017!

ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY
The 2nd (or is it 3rd) trailer has hit and gives more story/plot details than ever before.




I think the prior trailers were were much more focused on Star Wars fans, showing them new character and locations, while giving them touchstones of the classic trilogy. This trailer feels more oriented to non-fans, allowing them a better idea of what the story is like and the kind of action involved. This is a big step for Disney, going outside of the "core" storyline of the Skywalker saga of the Trilogies for the first time. It's a much a risk as a megafranchise like Star Wars can be for Disney.

All I know it, I am so very there!

Rogue One: A STAR WARS Story is due on Dec. 16, 2016

ASSASSIN'S CREED
I've been surprised that it's been so long since the first trailer to release a new one, with only a few months to go til release.



Based on the popular videogame series, this looks pretty fun to me. I've not played the game, so I can't say anything about its accuracy to the game. But the friends who have played, have really loved what they've seen in the trailer.

I know I'm in for seeing it.

Assassin's Creed is due on December 21, 2016

LOGAN
The first trailer for the 3rd (and likely final)Wolverine movie premiered this week.



I love that this doesn't look like any of the prior X-Men movies. Rather that "grim and gritty", this trailer, with the air of Johnny Cash's somber version of "Hurt", comes off much more sad & melancholy than you'd expect from a comic book movie. The storyline is partially based on "Old Man Logan" comic, which is teased with the idea there are "no more mutants" and the healing factor of Logan deteriorating/non-existent. There's also a possible connection to the after-credits sequence from this year's X-Men Apocalypse.

There's a lot to like in this trailer, and since is being directed by the same director as The Wolverine, James Mangold. (Funny enough, he also directed a film... about Johnny Cash!)

You can also check out the Red Band International trailer to get an idea of just why Logan is "the best there is at what I do... and what I do isn't very nice."

Logan is due on March 3, 2017

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY-VOL. 2

So this isn't EXACTLY a trailer, nor a teaser for a trailer...



Director James Gunn says this isn't a trailer as much a trailer as a sneak peak, with a full trailer showing up soon. But fans of the Guardians don't really care-they are just excited to see new footage finally!

Everyone's back-even the cutest baby Groot you didn't think could be cuter!

I would expect that at full trailer would be released along with Doctor Strange on Nov. 4. But I think it could also show up along with Rogue One as well.

But no matter what, I'm there opening day!

Guardian's of the Galaxy Vol 2
is due on May 5, 2017

There's one more trailer I'd love to discuss... but it's no longer available!

A temp trailer made it onto the internet for a few hours of the film adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower.

Sadly, the Powers-That-Be pulled it quickly, esp. since some of the visual FX weren't completed. So it's understandable.

But with a release date of February 17, 2017, I would expect one should hit very soon.

Now onto our feature presentation!

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
