Can I use the Future progressive tense instead of future simple in order to emphasize the ongoing action in the future:

"I will go to the movies tomorrow"

OR

"I'll be going to the movies tomorrow"

Would it sound naturaly, If I used the second one in speech or I would be thought of as a "smart guy"? Can I change "will be" to "going to" in the following sentence:

"I'm gonna be doing my home work tomorrow."

I would say, stick with - I will be doing my homework tomorrow. or - I will do my homework tomorrow.
