I can’t really say I watched Walker, Texas Ranger, since I really wasn’t a Chuck Norris fan. I mean, there were way better martial arts actors at the time — namely, my favorite, Mark Dacascos. Anyway! There was news a while ago that the show was being rebooted and I didn’t really think much of it. Until not too long ago. Following the end of Supernatural, Jared Padalecki was cast in the lead role for Walker, Texas Ranger.
Who knew that so long ago an unknown show starring two underwear models would go on for so many years that it’s now going on its 15th season, with a big and very loyal following — which I’m most definitely part of?
Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD panel at Comic-Con was bittersweet. It moved from Ballroom 20 to the much larger Hall H — but before the panel, it was announced that season seven would be the last. In triumph, they were ending the series on their terms; a rarity for television shows.
Trailers have already come out for the newest Terminator film; and at the time, my only interest was Gabriel Luna playing the antagonist, since I really enjoyed his work as Robbie Reyes (Ghost Rider) on Agents of SHIELD. Then their Comic-Con panel piqued my interest. A lot.
Admittedly, I wasn’t aware of another Star Trek television show in the works until Comic-Con this year. I learned that Sir Patrick Stewart — after all this time — is reprising his role as Jean-Luc Picard in the aptly titled, Star Trek: Picard. It takes place decades after Star Trek: The Next Generation.
It’s been a while since the delightfully dark comedy, Zombieland, came out. Ten years later, and the trailer for Zombieland: Double Tap, is out. And it’s quick to point out just how good the actors are.
I won’t lie that it felt a little odd that Jumanji was getting a sequel years after the original. Then Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle came out and made me forget that I thought that. It was a fantastic sequel that wasn’t afraid of what it was. It took the premise and modernized it in a fun way, while still showing love for the original. Then a third movie was announced.
