“AHA!” screamed a voice from overhead and both of them jumped; unnoticed by either of them, they had just passed right underneath Peeves, who was hanging upside down from a chandelier and grinning maliciously at them.
“Potty asked Loony to go to the party! Potty lurves Loony! Potty luuuuurves Looooooony!”

Maleficent tries to do for Sleeping Beauty what Wicked did for The Wizard of Oz. It strives to take a villain and reexamine her life, giving us context and an explanation for her actions and making us question our preconceptions. Yet it lacks the grace and power of Wicked. Maleficent is occasionally shockingly old-fashioned, it has a mediocre script and an inconsistent tone, and it trades one shallow villain for another while leaving few of the characters with any depth. Yet Maleficent shines in spite of all that, defying expectations and rising above the things that might hold it back. It’s truly more than the sum of its parts, and it owes any success it finds to its two charismatic lead actresses.

Quark: The Jem Hadar don’t eat, don’t drink, and they don’t have sex. And if that wasn’t bad enough, the Founders don’t eat, and don’t drink, and they don’t have sex, either. Which, between you and me, makes my financial future less than promising.
Ziyal: It might not be so bad. For all we know the Vorta might be gluttonous, alcoholic sex maniacs.
Quark: I never thought of that! I wonder what their favorite food is…?

Welcome to “Trailer Tuesday” where I talk about trailers for upcoming movies.
Normally here on Trailer Tuesday I like to do a deep dive into an individual trailer for a movie, with screencaps and some thoughts/analysis of what that trailer holds. But every now and then, I prefer instead to show you all of the trailers for one film in one post, hopefully giving a broader view of a film instead of a deeper one. So today, take a look at the three trailers for Earth to Echo, which comes out July 2:
Luna was demonstrating her usual knack of speaking uncomfortable truths; he had never met anyone quite like her.

Xander: Who’s that?
Willow: That must be Angel! I think?
Xander: That weird guy that warned her about all the vampires?
Willow: That’s him, I’ll bet you.
Xander: Well, he’s buff! She never said anything about him being buff!
Willow: You think he’s buff?
Xander: He’s a very attractive man! How come *that* never came up?
