Alexa Vega keeps growing up before our eyes–no, forget that, she has grown up before our eyes. Enough with the Spy Kids references; she’s a woman now. And she’s Bounty Killer, a wild ride that takes womanpower into an apocalyptic world a la Road Warrior, where it’s all about the body counts and cash. The other stars in the film are Matthew Marsden, Christian Pitre, Barak Hardley, Eve, Gary Busey, and Beverly D’Angelo. Check out the trailer below:

Then there’s the sci fi epic sequel Riddick, the long-awaited real sequel to Pitch Black with Vin Diesel as, quite literally, the toughest man in the universe. This time well-known Spanish/U.S. actor Jordi Mollà, character actor Raoul Trujillo, and Conrad Pla are along for the ride, and it promises to be a crazy one. See the trailer below:
