The Week in Review: What TBKC Missed and What You Need to Know

Your weekly roundup of what didn't make The Bill Kuchman Chronicle but should have, and what did make it but you may have missed. Pop culture, movies and television — it's all covered in this post.

What The Bill Kuchman Chronicle missed



Sound of My Voice trailer
This film is in limited release right now, but it looks promising. Brit Marling not only stars in Sound of My Voice but also co-wrote the film. If you haven't seen Marling in last year's Another Earth, do yourself a favor and check that one out. William Mapother, best known as Lost's Ethan Rom is also in Another Earth.




The Imposter trailer
A combo documentary and crime thriller, The Imposter tells the story of a young Texas boy who went missing only to supposedly be found in Spain three and a half years later. The boy now not only acts differently but appears different too. The question in this trailer seems to be is this the missing boy? And, if not, who has this family let into their home?

The week in Movies

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the sequel to last year's Rise of the Planet of the Apes, was officially announced. Andy Serkis returns as Caesar on May 23, 2014.

The Avengers passed the $500 million domestic box office mark at the beginning of the week. On Friday, the film passed The Dark Knight for No. 3 on the all-time domestic box office list.

Speaking of Batman, The Dark Knight Rises continued its media push, releasing two new TV commercials, hinting that Bruce Wayne will reluctantly come out of retirement to fight the threat of Bane.

Spy shots from the Iron Man 3 set surprisingly showed James Badge Dale in the Iron Patriot suit. In the comics, Norman Osborn was the Iron Patriot, and with Sony having rights to Osborn through Spider-Man, it looks like Iron Man 3 is throwing a huge curveball at us with this one.

TRAILERS: The Bourne Legacy, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Les Misérables, House at the End of the Street, The Amazing Spider-Man and Babymakers.
