VVRU: Super Bowl Edition Caleb Hamilton, February 6, 2012February 6, 2012 Universal Studios is releasing its fourth feature film based on one of Dr. Suess’ books. The Lorax has a very environmentally-friendly message. When Suess tried in the 70’s with the book, he couldn’t get the message across and now we’re living in a world he tried to prevent. Perhaps the film will get us to turn things around? Another Universal picture. That’s strange, when did Universal acquire the rights to the Transformers franchise? Wait, they didn’t? Then what the heck is this? Oh, it’s Battleship? That’s right, this ain’t yo daddy’s Battleship. This one has transforming water-aliens fighting the likes of Liam Neeson and Rihanna. After a horrible first installment, Paramount Pictures has produced a sequel/reboot of its G.I. Joe franchise. This time we’ll actually get Cobra Commander, not Joseph Gordon-Levitt in a plastic mask. Last, but certainly not least, here’s an extended look at Marvel Studio’s crown-jewel, The Avengers!
