Do Movie Trailers Give Away Too Much? Half Of Moviegoers Think So

Watch Iron Man 3 Online It's that neat stuff that we're focused on today, still excited about Iron Man 3 this weekend and focused on some of the amazing gadgets and inventions we got a look at when we saw the film. Tony didn't create all of it-- he's up against another inventor, Aldrich Killian, this time-- but when it comes to gadgets that make us furious with envy, the more the merrier. We've ranked the film's most eye-popping gadgets below. While Jon Favreau's Happy Hogan is at the Stark Industries headquarters trying to get the hang of Face Time-chatting on his iPad, Tony is back at home making the iPad look like a rotary telephone. We don't get a great look at his handheld tablet, but it's about the size of an iPhone, with the bonus of a extra screen he can flip up into empty space. I can't even get Verizon to let me use Google Maps while talking on the phone, and Tony can do that? No fair.

Watch Pain And Gain Online J.J. Abrams usually looks like the cat who ate the canary, as the geek who rose to become King of the World. Now that he's become King of the Universe-- or, er, galaxies-- by taking over both Star Trek and Star Wars, the guy really can't help himself. He seems both in disbelief that he's been handed these two massive worlds, and smugly sitting back with the knowledge that he's about to change geek lives, and nobody but him knows how he's going to do it. And he looks like that even when in conversation with someone he knows well, Simon Pegg, who plays Scotty in Star Trek Into Darkness and who is one of many very famous Star Wars fans. In the above clip you see the two of them talking about what Star Wars means to the both of them, and Abrams admits to a very real concern that had never really occurred to me. Walking into 2009's Star Trek having never been a Trekkie, Abrams didn't feel beholden to the series's vast history and felt free to start fresh. With Star Wars, he's as attached to the mythology as anyone else-- so how is he actually going to be able to revive it?

Watch Scary Movie 5 Online Maybe by making the much-clamored-for Jar Jar Binks spinoff, as Pegg jokes. Or maybe by Han, Luke and Leia's kids, or building up to a Han Solo spinoff. The rumors are endless, and Abrams-- with that sly grin-- is still not telling. Though we hope he's at least planning a role for his Star Wars-obsessed pal Pegg. While we still have a few days to wait for the big unveiling of the Ender's Game trailer, last night Summit released a teaser, which gives us a couple snippets of the anticipated preview, introduced by stars Harrison Ford (Colonel Graff) and Asa Butterfield (Ender Wiggin). In case you missed it, watch it above! The full trailer will debut on Tuesday, May 7. Until then, we pulled some screenshots from the teaser to examine (and obsess over) while we wait.

Watch The Iceman Online Before we get to that, just a note that Enders Game is hosting a Google Hangout next Tuesday. Director Gavin Hood, producer Robert Orci and star Asa Butterfield will be in attendance on Tuesday, May 7. Fans can submit their questions for a chance to have them selected in the Hangout. You can RSVP to the hangout here. On to the teaser and what it reveals. If you've read the book, you know that Ender's Game follows a gifted child named Ender, who is recruited to attend a space-set Battle School where he'll train to fight a ware against an alien race. The tease gives us a glimpse of the Battle School from the outside:

Watch Olympus Has Fallen Online Battle school orbits Earth, which is presumably the planet we can see in the background. We can see the wheel in the front, and in the center of that (assuming the movie follows the layout of the book) is the zero gravity Battle Room where the kids float around zapping each other flashers (the guns they use to freeze each other's suits). We get a couple glimpses of the Battle Room in the teaser, including this one, which shows Ender's (or someone's) entrance. "The enemy's gate is down!" That's the phrase to know with this film. If you haven't read the book or it's been a while, that's what Ender instructs the other trainees to remember when entering the zero gravity room. It allows them to orient themselves in a room where up, down and side are really any given directions without a point of focus. While the above screenshot shows someone flipping through the air, without any harness or cord, the one below reveals a cord attached to the person coming down.

Watch The Croods Online Any ideas as to why they're attached to a cord here? Finally, we have a look at some other trainees at the school. And based on the army logos, which were previously revealed and the one we can see in part in the background, I'm thinking we're looking at Dragon Army here. (Book spoiler ahead!). Dragon is the army put together for Ender to command. We also get another look at Ben Kingsley as Mazer Rackham. The full trailer debuted previously at CinemaCon, so we already know a bit about what it will reveal, however we won't actually get to see it for ourselves until Tuesday when it launches online. The movie arrives in theaters November 1. There are a bunch of ways to stay updated on all of the Ender's Game news (besides checking back in with us, of course!). British television is making it across the pond in far more apparent ways than it used to. On Friday, The BBC announced it was picking up The Fall, a brand new crime series set in Northern Ireland, which follows a police officer investigating a string of murders.

Watch The Call Online This is good news for anyone with Netflix, as well. Following The BBC’s release of the series in the UK on May 13, all five episodes of The Fall will be available on the streaming service beginning on May 28. It’s awesome that the series inked out a Netflix deal. Murder mysteries translate well on both sides of the pond, and there should be enough familiar faces in The Fall to intrigue fans. The X-Files’ Gillian Anderson is signed on to star in the pilot, and according to Deadline, several other famous faces are also in the series, including Jamie Dornan, who played Sheriff Graham in Once Upon a Time, and Archie Panjabi, who plays Kalinda on CBS’ The Good Wife. As evidenced by our “Ten 90s TV Stars We Want To See Back In A Starring Role On Television” column, Gillian Anderson still has a slew of fans stemming from her X-Files years. A lot of us would love to see her back in a leading role on TV, and she’ll get a shot with The Fall. Back in the States, Anderson is currently set for a recurring role on Hannibal and she’s signed on for a Rand Ravich pilot over at NBC.

Watch Mud Online Should it go to series. Unlike the Ravich pilot, the good news is, at least we know for sure that The Fall will air. The latest poster for Arrested Development brings the Bluths together inside a storage container.Where they appear to have been perfectly preserved in the seven years between Season 3 and the anticipated fourth season, which debuts on Netflix in its entirety in just a few weeks. "Now the story of a family that couldn't be contained," reads the tagline at the top. I'd like to finish that with, "And the Netflix subscribers and die-hard AD fanatics that had no choice but to watch every episode back to back." Something tells me some AD fans won't be able to stop themselves from watching all of the episodes in a row, while others might want to space them out and really savor the series' return. The teaser poster for the series' return showed us a padlocked storage container. This one opens that container up and shows us the Bluths seated (or standing) together inside what looks like Lucille's penthouse. Not everyone looks happy.

WATCH Beautiful Creatures ONLINE It looks like Gob has cards ready for some tricks illusions. Lucille has a drink and Buster has his hook and a very wide smile. The latest news for the series is that John Krasinski will guest star in the fourth season, though details on who he'll play are slim. He joins a host of other guest stars set to appear in the show. Read all about the other guest stars and AD updates, photos and posters here. Arrested Development premieres on Netflix on May 26. All season, we've been wondering and waiting for Juliette and Nick to reconcile. Slowly but surely, Juliette's come through the fog, with some setbacks and some dramatic encounters in the mix to keep things paced fairly well throughout the season, making her relationship with Nick one of the more suspenseful, longer-running arcs of the NBC drama's second season. Things seemed to be on track for a full reunion for the two, but the preview for next Tuesday's "Kiss of the Muse" indicates another setback. Or will it turn out to be the final push they need to start anew?

Watch Jack The Giant Slayer Online There are just three episodes left of Grimm, the first of which will air this Tuesday night (May 7) and have Nick encountering a "muse-like" Wesen, played by Heroes' Nora Zehetner. As you may have noticed in the teaser, she has a strong effect on Nick. From the episode description, it sounds like that effect varies from person to person… KISS OF THE MUSE - A NEW CASE MAY THREATEN NICK AND JULIETTE’S PROGRESS IN GETTING BACK TO HOW THINGS USED TO BE – NORA ZEHETNER (“HEROES”) GUEST STARS -- Nick (David Giuntoli) discovers a muse-like Wesen (guest star Nora Zehetner, “Heroes”) with the ability to influence those she gets close to - some with positive results, others with terrifying ones. Nick must find a way to get close without losing himself in the process. Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) arranges a dinner date with Nick in the hopes of clearing the air, but their plans go awry as the case intensifies. Meanwhile, Rosalee (Bree Turner) takes her first visit to Aunt Marie’s trailer.

If Nick is entranced by this Wesen, will Juliette be able to break the spell? The teaser seems to indicate that she's his only hope. But how will this ordeal affect their relationship? If and when she gets Nick back, will the situation bring them closer together or push them further apart? We'll find out. In the meantime, here's a photo from the episode, which shows Juliette holding Nick's face in her hands… Olivia and Fitz are back on! And based on the end of last night's episode, they're all over each other-on, including in the shower. How… romantic? Steamy seems to be the right word to describe this on-again-off-again relationship. And while they were going at it, Mellie was living up to her threat by going public with her husband's indiscretions. There's no turning back now. So what's next?
