X-Men Days of Future Past Final Trailer

A few days late on seeing this one but worth posting up for comments, 20th Century Fox has released the third and final theatrical trailer for X-Men: Days of Future Past which really embraces the cross between the future and the 1970s era setting by throwing in a little Nixon and Led Zeppelin. Of course Wolverine is a big focus of the trailer because... you know... but this trailer actually has helped sell me a little more on checking out the movie. Definitely curious to see how they've "rethought" the premise from the comics to fit into the live-action universe.

Weekend Recommended Viewing: Transcendence

Looking for a theater getaway this weekend? While the reviews have been mixed, SPT's recommendation for the weekend is Transcendence, the directorial debut of long-time Christopher Nolan Director of Photography, Wally Pfister. According to some of the more critical reviews, the film aspires to have the bite and thought provoking tone of a Nolan film but doesn't quite capture the same lightning in a bottle. The film tells the story of a brilliant man searching for the singularity only to be paralyzed by an anti-technology movement. His mind is uploaded to a computer and, if the trailers are to be believed, some crazy Lawnmower Man chaos ensues.

Regardless of any potential hesitations, with the talent involved across the board and the promise of outstanding visuals, Transcendence looks to be a film that should be experienced on the big screen.

It Coulda Been Worse Volume 1: TMNT

Okay, let's face it: a Michael Bay-infused Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles might not have been at the top of a lot of our "must see" lists. Regardless, the movie directed by Jonathan Liebesman is on the way and hitting theaters August 8th.

And in its honor, we're going to start a new feature here at SPT: It Coulda Been Worse. This feature will be an optimists view on something which might entirely suck, but really could have been a lot worse. 

Here's how:

• M. Night Shyamalan's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

• Tyler Perry Presents: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (starring Tyler Perry)

• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Mutation After Next (a spin-off film of the Power Rangers-esque series)

How else could it have been worse? Tell us in the comments!
