On the heels of jumping out of a helicopter with Queen Elizabeth II during the Olympics Opening Ceremony, James Bond is back in the full-length trailer for Skyfall. It looks like we’re back to the classic look of the Casino, with M (Judi Dench) apparently making the call to take out her 00 agents, only for Bond (Daniel Craig) to seemingly be resurrected when she needs him most. There’s also the destruction of MI6 headquarters, Javier Bardem’s wig-wearing turn as the villain Silva, and the return of Q, who hasn’t been seen since 2002, this time played by Ben Whishaw,
Skyfall, which arrives in the United Kingdom Oct. 26 and in the United States Nov. 9, also stars Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney, Bérénice Marlohe, Naomie Harris and Helen McCrory.

Following its premiere this afternoon at Comic-Con International, Apple.com has released the first trailer for Disney’s Oz: The Great and Powerful, the Sam Raimi-directed fantasy prequel that chronicles the story of the Wizard of Oz.
Disney’s fantastical adventure “Oz The Great and Powerful,” directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved character, the Wizard of Oz. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.
When small-time magician Oscar Diggs (James Franco) pulls one flimflam too many, he finds himself hurled into the fantastical Land of Oz where he must somehow transform himself into the great and powerful Wizard—and just maybe into a better man as well.
The Walking Dead season three is definitely shaping up to be a big one. There’s a new location in the prison, a new villain in the form of The Governor, and most importantly for some fans, there’s Michonne, the katana-wielding woman who’s long been a favorite of comics readers. We’ve seen her look, and now we get to see her skills.
We’ve been waiting for this moment ever since we learned shortly after the season two finale that actress Danai Gurira had been cast in the iconic role. The footage debuted last night during a special episode of the Walking Dead companion series Talking Dead, and while it may be short, it’s definitely sweet.
Watch as Michonne enters a ransacked store and makes quick work of a trio of walkers

Buckle up, because Ridley Scott has created a whole new beast (literally) with “Prometheus.” Returning to the genre that skyrocketed his career with “Alien” and ?Blade Runner,? Scott has fashioned a fascinating new mystery within his original “Alien” universe.
Not exactly a prequel to “Alien,” “Prometheus” still shares many elements with the classic. “Prometheus” is all about origins; both our origins and those of the Space Jockey (which the crew of the Nostromo in ?Alien” discover at the beginning of that film).
Fans of “Alien” will revel in the expanded history of this universe. Scott presents a whole new world, with so many new paths to venture down in possible future installments. Noomi Rapace is archeologist Elizabeth Shaw who, with her team, venture to an alien planet where she believes the origins of our species began among a race a human-like aliens.
Like “Alien,” Scott spends a good portion of the film on atmospherics, introducing us to the ship Prometheus, the alien planet and the unsettling clues Shaw and her crew find. Scott and his team are smart to make “Prometheus” as much an archeological mystery as it is a creepy fright-fest.
As the mystery compounds, Scott creates an unsettling atmosphere where nobody is safe. One scene in the Prometheus medical bay is memorably unpleasant. Some of the H.R. Giger’s organic-styled set designs from “Alien” make a welcome return, complimenting the eeriness of the film. Unfortunately, the creatures (and there are plenty) are all CGI, losing the realistic sliminess and ferocity of the models used in earlier films.
“Prometheus” is written by Jon Spaihts and “Lost” co-creator Damon Lindelof, and like ?Lost,? Lindelof starts the story off like a tangled ball of yarn which then unravels over the course of the film. Similarly, there are a dozen or so questions left unanswered by film?s end.
Michael Fassbender gives a chilling performance as the android David. He is cold, calculating, often sinister, but always engaging. There?s a also a cool correlation in the film between his character and T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia).
The rest of the crew are expendable cookie-cutter characters. There are obvious layers to Charlize Theron’s character (a representative from the Weyland Corporation who oversees the entire expedition) which are sadly never developed.
Another disappointment is the casting of Guy Pearce, who is distractingly unbelievable as the nearly 100 year-old Peter Weyland, the head of the company financing the exploration. While Pearce is an excellent actor, the age makeup is bad. Scott should have cast an age-appropriate actor.
Scott has given us a fresh story from seeds already planted in “Alien.” With “Prometheus,” he keeps us guessing to the end.
