It’s a good time for new hero film trailers. Straight off of that Captain America: Winter Soldier debut came X-Men: Days of Future Past, which kept the action a minimum and the characters up close and personal.

Jennifer “Hunger Games” Lawrence is pretty much in charge of …
Sometimes, you just can’t get the whole movie. That’s the beauty of the age we live in now. If you wanted to see Highlander II: The Director’s Cut and be even more confused back then, you’d have to drive around town to find that VHS. But DVD and Blu-Ray?
