A still from "T2: Trainspotting". (DNA Films/File)
The hype train keeps coming, and it is never too late to get on board. Watch these five trailers and take your pick.
For those who think the appearance of Wonder Woman is the best thing in the heavily criticized Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, rejoice: your Amazonian warrior is here. The new trailer, more packed than the Comic Con one, shows Diana reminiscing about her participation in World War I. All Wonder Woman trailers released so far are solid, presenting a nice balance between plot development and action, making fans cautiously optimistic -- especially after Suicide Squad flopped.
Wonder Woman has been subject of internet debates after the character was named the UN ambassador for female empowerment and the reveal that she is gay.
The 90s are back: not only in fashion but also in cinemas. The beloved characters (and actors too) from the 1996 classic British humor movie Trainspotting will appear in its sequel, T2 Trainspotting. Twenty years was not a burden for the movie as the trailer is packed with humor. The sequel is loosely based on Porno by Irvine Welsh.
T2 Trainspotting is set to be released on Jan. 27.

Successfully gathering critics at various movie festivals, La La Land will finally hit mainstream cinemas on Dec. 9. Set as a musical, the movie aims to bring back the classic, romantic, jazzy Hollywood feel. Emma Stone stars as a struggling actress and Ryan Gosling as a struggling musician. The two meet and fall in love. Director of the Oscar-winning Whiplash Damien Chazelle supports the film with mesmerizing visuals and music. The movie is surely a must watch.
If romance is not your genre, take your date to Lavender instead. Seen from the trailer, it is not your regular jump-scare horror movie. The plot begins when a woman (Abbie Cornish) loses her memories after a traffic accident and is advised by her doctor to visit her childhood home. She starts to see unexplained things, scaring both her daughter and husband.
Wilson
Everyone knows that guy: the creepy stranger who sits near us in an empty bus and, even worse, talks to us. That guy is Wilson. Divorced, he just learns that he has a daughter, and is now trying to spend time with his uninterested ex-wife and daughter. Based on the graphic novel by Daniel Clowes, Wilson promises good laughs and a solid performance by Woody Harrelson. (kes)
