The Pixels are coming, and its every gamer's dream and nightmare!

In Pixels, when intergalactic aliens misinterpret video-feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war against them, they attack the Earth, using the games as models for their various assaults. President Will Cooper (Kevin James) has to call on his childhood best friend, '80s video game champion Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), now a home theater installer, to lead a team of old-school arcaders (Peter Dinklage and Josh Gad) to defeat the aliens and save the planet. Joining them is Lt. Col. Violet Van Patten (Michelle Monaghan), a specialist supplying the arcaders with unique weapons to fight the aliens.

Peter Dinklage's mullet alone is a thing that needs to be seen. In the same vein as Knights of Badassdom, Dinklage is just as much perfection in a comedic movie as he is in a dramatic role. He could make anything believable, but Kevin James as president may be a stretch. How funny Adam Sandler will be, isn't really seen, but he's got a a good group around him to pick up his slack. And Josh Gad is back in a supporting role, where he really excels. If he can muster half of the enthusiasm he brought to Frozen's Olaf, he'll be comedic gold.

Pixels is set for release July 24, 2015

If you were unaware that Hotel Transylvania was getting a sequel, then be pleasantly surprised. It not only is, but the trailer looks just as fun as the first film. The Drac Pack (Dracula, The Wolfman , The Mummy, The Invisible Man, and Frankenstein) are back, and they've got a new member, Dracula's adorable grandson, Dennis, the offspring of Dracula's vampire Daughter Mavis and her human husband, Jonathan.

Not only is Dracula embracing his new grandfather status, he's taking the tyke way up high for a little flying lesson. While Dracula is sure about his grandson picking up the skill, his friends aren't so sure. The lesson may crash and burn, but the grandson does not.



The Original Hotel Transylvania found Dracula (Adam Sandler) establishing a hotel getaway for his fellow monsters to vacation in peace after the death of his wife at the hands of townsfolk with torches and pitchforks. His daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez) wants to to experience life outside of the safe walls, to see the work and Ha-we-we. Dracula nearly has his daughter convinced of the human threat when an unsuspecting backpacking human stumbles upon the hotel and changes not only Mavis's mind, but Dracula's too. The first one was full of fun, and plenty of jokes for adults and kids alike.

Most of the cast is back for Hotel Transylvania 2. Adam Sandler, Selena Gomez, Andy Samberg, Steve Buscemi, David Spade, and Kevin James all return as their respective characters. Also returning for the sequel is director Genndy Tartakovsky whose vision helped make the first one such a success.

Keegan-Michael Key replaces CeeLo Green as the Mummy. Also joining the cast is Mel Brooks as Vlad, an "old-old-fashioned vampire. "

Hotel Transylvania 2 opens in theaters on September 25.
