The Lone Ranger is one of those movies that could be either a spectacular success or a mind-boggling failure. The trailers – including the newest one (follow the jump to view) – look great, but trailers can lie. As a Lone Ranger fan since the original TV series, I’m hoping for the spectacular success – but I’m still crossing my fingers.
Here’s hoping The Lone Ranger can bring dusters back – or at least not kill them off for another generation…

Nominees for the 2013 Teen Choice Awards have been announced and, once again, some of the choices are really mystifying – I mean, apart from the Twilight Saga’s inexplicable and almost overwhelming success.
When some of the choices come from movies that were seen by dozens of people – instead of the, y’know, actual successes – you have wonder WTF? How do box office duds like the Total Recall remake, The Words and Peeples muster enough votes to make the list – unless a lot of non-teen, behind-the-scenes spin doctors have spun some magic with the numbers. Or maybe teens were the only people to see those movies and every last one of them voted.
Whatevs. For the complete list of nominations, deserving and unnerving, follow the jump.

Unfortunately, due to my recent Eye Surgery and Paramount Pictures screening shenanigans (I raise my fist and cry fowl, FOWL!) it will probably be a few weeks before I can experience Trek. For those of you lucky enough to have peepers, see Star Trek: Into Darkness as it was meant to be seen on a real 7 or 10 story tall iMax Screen, not those FakeMax’s in the malls.
The DMV is lucky enough to have several real iMax theaters where you can see it. Paramount’s Star Trek Into Darkness opens at the Airbus IMAX Theater at the Steven F.Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Va., today, May 15, and in IMAX 3-D at the Samuel C. Johnson IMAX Theater at the National Museum of Natural History May 31. Tickets to see the film at the Hazy Center are on sale at www.si.edu/imax.

It’s been forever, but Vin Diesel’s final Riddick film is just about ready. If the trailer is any indication, it may bring back the dark, twisted, scary, goofy fun of Pitch Black – as opposed to the bloated, ponderous Chronicles of Riddick. Plus, Karl Urban and Katee Sackhoff!
Check it out after the jump. Riddick is in theaters September 6th.
