Thistrailer is 75 seconds long, does that make you more or less likely to watch it? Everyone else has to wrestle with the same decision. (I like this one a lot, so I do recommend watching it. This trailer is by Marlon Wiebe)

Okay, there is good news and bad news about this Game Night trailer. The good news is that it's really funny. I don't generally laugh out loud while watching trailers to theatrical comedies, especially when I'm watching said trailer by myself in the office with headphones via a desktop. Yet, to my pleasant surprise, I laughed out loud (there were no witnesses, so you'll have to take my word for it) several times during this initial theatrical trailer for the New Line/Warner Bros. comedy.


Now the bad news is that there were at least a few jokes and plot points that I wish I hadn't spoiled for myself. To be fair, the trailer does swear that the movie contains unspoiled "shit you won't believe," but I'd still advise against watching the trailer past the 64-second mark, or if you have willpower the 37-second mark. That's the conundrum of good marketing. I hate that the long trailer spoiled what were several very funny gags. But I am a lot more interested in Game Night than I was beforehand.


This is just the sort of thing that New Line and Warner Bros. should be making alongside the comic book movies and action fantasies. It's a genuine high-concept, star-driven comedy that actually looks like a lot of fun. It's lovely seeing Rachel McAdams A) in a comedy and B) actually getting jokes alongside the male leads. I'll be there if only to support Kylie Bunbury (star of the sadly departed Pitch) and Lamorne Morris (The New Girl) along perennial favorite Jason Bateman. I like the people (Kyle Chandler, Jesse Plemons, and at least one cameo that I won't spoil in case you can stop watching the trailer at the 37-second mark), I like the concept (a couples' game night gone to madcap hell) and to my surprise the Mark Perez screenplay seems to be taking advantage of the high concept in clever and enjoyable ways.


I won't pretend that directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein's Vacation remake was a comedy classic, but I liked Rawson Marshall Thurber's Central Intelligence (and Dodgeball) a lot more than his We're the Millers. This one comes out on March 2, which pits it against Jennifer Lawrence's Red Sparrow and Bruce Willis' Death Wish remake. Amusingly enough, it'll be Warner Bros./Time Warner Inc.'s first of three March release prior to Tomb Raider and Ready Player One. That's a packed schedule for one month, even for the Dream Factory, so if they want to move Game Night up a little I wouldn't mind at all.


60 seconds trailer for the pilot episode of BATTLESUIT, based on a short story from the Graphic novel - The Theory.

The trailer was one of the first projects we did in Unreal Engine, using version 4.22. It was created by Haz Dulull (Director, shot creator, lighting, animation and editing), Andrea Tedeschi ( Lead CG, assets creation and environments), Ronen Eytan (Pipeline TD and UE Dev). Music and sound design by Edward White. Script by Neil Gibson.


Police conducted door-to door searches and volunteers passed out fliers of Mikelle's photo from Lindbergh Elementary School, where she was an honor-roll student. The area became saturated as the desperate hunt continued.


It was a face that could be recognized by nearly everyone at the time: Mikelle flashing a toothy grin and wearing a headband to pull her hair, which was finally growing out of a perm, out of her face.


Their refrigerator door became hard to close as the inside was jammed with pots of homemade chicken soup with noodles; potato casserole; cake; and a 20-pound ham. Neighbors started storing food in their own freezers for the family, she said.


The National Missing Children Organization told The Republic in a 1999 interview that the response after Mikelle's disappearance was one of the biggest the organization has seen for a missing-child case.


There was power to the gesture, which came a few years after the Mormon community had fought hard against a Mesa city holiday to honor King, established in 1996, and a statewide King holiday, approved earlier that decade. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had prohibited blacks from full church participation until 1978.


At the time, Kimber couldn't understand why police were turning to her father, rather than looking for the bad person who had taken her older sister and best friend. She recalled how her father quickly changed during that period, describing him as an "angry zombie."


"He was so frustrated because he was being blamed and felt like it was a waste of time," she said. "We were all frustrated with them. When you know your father or husband isn't guilty ... it's frustrating."


Gissel described how they had traced his known steps that night, calculating that it would have been impossible for him to hide her body in the time before he showed up at their home to join the search.


"She was running from somebody, based on the evidence that we do have," said Gissel in an 2009 interview with ABC News. "It wasn't somebody that she knew or wanted to be with. She dropped the bike, she was running toward home, she dropped quarters, and it was swift. And somebody grabbed her and, I believe, abducted her in a car and drove away with her."


Darien would come home after hours of questioning, upset, and would close Mikelle's untouched room. He wasn't able to handle the emotions of seeing her belongings that would make him ache for his daughter.


Authorities were desperate to find a break in the case. They interviewed nearly 500 psychics, tracked every known ice-cream vendor in the state and dug through 35 abandoned mine shafts in the San Tan Mountains.


They pored over information they obtained from motorists they had stopped at roadblocks the night Mikelle went missing, and from the 20 sex offenders they interviewed that lived around east-central Mesa.


An email arrived from someone claiming he had taken Mikelle, sending police to assemble a SWAT team outside a Phoenix house where they tracked the location of the sender. But it would turn out to be a 12-year-old kid, messing around on the internet.


After Mikelle disappeared without a trace, families in the area launched block-watch meetings. Caught on a local newscast at the time, Blalock is seen as an outspoken advocate for safety and keeping an eye on strangers.


Arizona Department of Corrections records show Blalock was released from prison in August 1995 after serving nearly six years on Gila County charges of false imprisonment and failure to register as a sex offender.


They searched his home at the time and came up with nothing, police said. However, a trailer sat in his backyard. They wouldn't be able to search it without a warrant. But when detectives came back with a warrant, it was gone.


"I sat 3 feet away from the guy who killed my daughter, and I couldn't do a thing about it," Darien said in 2009. "I wouldn't have any problem with them letting him out as long as I was there to meet him."


Darien and Tracy separated. They moved from the Mesa neighborhood where their oldest child went missing. They both live in Utah and have chosen to stay out of the media after their final interview with ABC News in 2009.


Detective Gissel is now chief of the Office of Child Welfare Investigations at the Arizona Department of Economic Security. He did not respond to a request for an interview with The Republic. Detective Gates died of cancer.


Now Kimber handles the media. She continues to take on responsibilities, just as she did when she, only a little girl herself, was forced to grow up quickly and watch over her brother, 4, and sister, 1, when Mikelle was gone and her parents were busy looking for her.


THQ Nordic announced Jagged Alliance 3 during their September showcase last year. It's only fitting that it returned during this year's showcase, bringing a much more detailed trailer to show off how combat will work.


I'm not hot on Jagged Alliance, but there's a lot to like in the trailer above. It's neat that you can spend AP points to increase the accuracy of your shots; I like the sound of an enemy "mishap chance", because mishaps are always fun; and there generally seems to be a lot of granularity, from how you pose your mercenaries (stand, crouch, prone), to what body parts they target, to what type of shot they're taking (single, burst, auto, etc.).


Sadly, the trailer shows the most appealing part for only a few seconds near the end. The best stories about classic Jagged Alliance normally involve its dynamic campaign map, which provides the context for the individual turn-based skirmishes you lead. That feature has been absent or poor in some of the lesser, modern Jagged Alliance games, but it's seemingly returning here.


The other thing giving me hope is that JA3 is being developed by Haemimont Games, the makers of Surviving Mars and several Tropico games. I wouldn't say that Haemimont have made any classics, but I do think they've typically punched above their budget. Their recent track record is certainly better than the Jagged Alliance series. Chris Bratt reviewed Jagged Alliance: Rage for us back in 2018 and found it mostly a chore.


Following too closely may be defined as, situations in which one vehicle is following another vehicle so closely that even if the following driver is attentive to the actions of the vehicle ahead he/she could not avoid a collision in the circumstance when the driver in front brakes suddenly."14


In addition to providing enough stopping time, proper following distance allows for more time to make good, well-planned decisions and affords other drivers the opportunity to scan the sides, look far enough ahead, and view the vehicle immediately in front.


Did You Know? If you are driving below 40 mph, you should leave at least one second for every 10 feet of vehicle length. For a typical tractor-trailer, this results in 4 seconds between you and the leading vehicle. For speeds over 40 mph, you should leave one additional second.16
