Prometheus was THE movie for me this summer.  The one I’ve been craving for what seems like ages.  The one that I drooled over after having seen that first trailer.  When word came out that Ridley Scott was returning to the science fiction genre, I got goosebumps.  It was an Alien prequel, and then it wasn’t, but it was going to be set in the same universe.  Either way, I was happy.  I just wanted a good sci-fi movie.

This is a project that I’ve been quietly interested in while at the same time sort of dreading.  I love the reemergence of updated takes on fairy tales most recently seen in ABC’s Once Upon a Time.  Now there are not one but two Snow White films in the works.

Seems like it’s limited release trailer day here at Reel Goddess HQ.  A few of these this week only have limited run release dates, but fear not, a couple of others are wide release.  Scuttlebutt is that we’re supposed to see a trailer for The Avengers some time next week so be on the lookout for that.  I’ll post it as soon as it’s released.  In the meantime, check out this week’s offerings over a nice cup o’ Joe.
